Senator Murray urged a conference of labor leaders, business, farmers, and consumers to study the drift of the economy and back a bill he sponsors to direct a 15 billion public works program. The plan would create a national economic cooperation board to guide expansion and authorize government support for private industry without entering business. He argued it would supplement the Full Employment Act and help move unemployed workers to jobs. The Census Bureau noted 59.6 million employed and 3.78 million unemployed in June, with a seven-year high unemployment figure amid summer job seekers.
