National Grange urges restraint on labor price demands
The National Grange appeals to the Roosevelt administration to refrain from rolling back food prices or granting general wage increases. It warns such steps would deepen the food crisis and fuel inflation, arguing food costs are a small share of income and that purchasing power must be reduced through taxation and savings. The group calls for unified control of food production, rationing, and price policy, and supports restoring the food stamp program to aid consumers.
