President Hears Plea By Labor On Wage Controls
Washington reports labor leaders urged that any government wage controls allow for pay rises to offset living costs in rising eastern sectors. AFL head William Green and CIO chief Philip Murray presented to President Truman as the Economic Stabilization Agency works on a wage formula. The group pressed new legislation for broader price and food controls and warned wage stabilization must avoid wage freezing. They demanded adjustments for cost of living, recognition of collective bargaining contracts across 85 industries, and measures to correct substandard wages and inequities within sectors.
