Case Substitute for Truman Bill Drives Labor Policy
The House approved a substitute bill by Rep. Francis Case to supersede the labor committee version of President Truman’s fact finding bill.

Ford urged ending most price controls as steel and automobile wage talks stalled. The CIO said the government must ensure fair wage increases for packinghouse workers as hearings wrap up.
