Labor Wooed By Johnston
Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston moved to repair the wage control program by luring Maher leaders back into H. Price Director Michael V. DiSalle defended the price central program as labor leaders voiced discontent over continued price rises. Johnston planned new talks with union leaders and Wage Stabilization Board members, with the board’s future form and a proposed wage formula under review.
