Legion Completes Celebration Plans
John L. Lewis may craft a wage bargaining policy at Truman's labor management conference to unite labor's 36 delegates. He denounced CIO President Murray's plan as feeble while AFL leader Green supported a stance allowing labor to seek what it can reasonably obtain. Murray's resolution urged quick full collective bargaining, but Lewis argued wage policy should reflect price controls and consumer costs. Discussions heated, shaping the conference floor debate amid major wage disputes with General Motors and U S Steel causing about 275,000 idle workers.

Truman Signs 1946 Tax Cut Reducing Rates Across The Board
President Truman signed a sweeping 1946 tax bill slashing 5.92 billion dollars in individual and business levies. The measure, the first general tax cut in 16 years, removes 12 million low income filers from the rolls and guarantees 10 percent or more relief for those earning up to 50 thousand dollars, with smaller cuts above that level. It also eliminates the wartime excess profits tax on corporations, forgives service pay for veterans, and freezes the Social Security rate at 1 percent in 1948.
