“Reprisal plans” against recent increases in commodity prices will be made on Decem ber 10 by the Prices Vigilance Committee, which represents a number of industrial unions. Mr G. Seelaf, committee secretary said recent increases in commodity prices had lowered the living standard of lower paid workers, and the time had arrived when workers should take a stand ape unjustified in creases. Nodication could be given yet of the nature of the pro posed reprisals. Many organisations, Mr Seelaf said, disapproved price increase ap plications on the assumption that there would be less production under the 40-hour week. The Court had declared that industry was able to carry the burden of the shorter working week. The committee would plan some preevent way of registering disapproval of employers’ refusal to bear portion of increased costs.
