No Ground For Agreement On OPA Bill Says Barkley
Democratic Leader Barkley said the Senate House conference found no common ground on an OPA revival bill. He noted the Radcliffe subcommittee draft was too rough to progress. Other fast moving OPA developments included CIO demand for wage boosts and a potential year delay of a shipbuilding project to conserve funds. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a three percent wholesale price rise to 120.7 percent of the 1926 average for the week ending July 13.
