Industrial Board Faces Uncertain Future in 1930s Policy Talks
Washington April 2 The industrial board of the department of commerce contends with stalled effort to stabilize industry through price fixing. Since an initial steel price agreement the board has produced little and the railroad administration’s noncooperation hampers progress. Chairman Peck leads negotiations with Secretary Glass and other government heads to secure firm cooperation. Potential resignations loom if policy fails, while President Wilson in Paris reportedly weighs in on the need for unified government action. Existing rail purchases by the railways heighten urgency to resolve friction and ensure the board’s work gains traction.
