Battle Looms On Wage Ceilings Proposals
Washington March 16 A congressional battle developed as proposals to place ceilings on wages and curb profiteering during war industries sparked party lines. Senator Clyde Hebert urged early Senate Labor Committee action to block strikes and halt new shop construction while arguing wage limits protect the war effort. Supporters frame the plan as anti inflationary and tied to limiting war profits with a 100 percent tax suggested by Senator Ulster H. of Alabama. Some lawmakers favor flexibility, calling for higher substandard wages where needed, and warning against inflexible ceilings across all industries.
