LABOR’S FIGHT ON PRESSURE
GROUPS HELPED HOLD PRICE
LINE SAYS CHESTER BOWLES
NEW ORLEANS—-Delegates to the American Federation of
Labor's convention here heard OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles give credit to labor for the Administration’s success in
beating back attempts of pressure groups to break down price
control.
“Throughout the long fight to
maintain our control over rents and
prices, we have had the vigorous
support of organized labor and other
consumer groups,” Bowles said.
“Without that support we couldn’t
have done the job.
“Organized labor’s support of price
control, rest control and rationing
has been an invaluable aid to the wai
effort. It ranks second in importance
only to labor’s record on the produc
tion front.”
Bowles let It be known that when
civilian products abandoned during
the war come back into production,
the OPA intends to hold their prices
to the level of early 1942. That can
be done even though wages and prices
of materials may have increased dur
ing the period.
"We know from our experience that
industry can absorb considerable in
creases in material prices and wqge
rates without compensating price in
creases—and still maintain handsome
profits,” Bowles declared.
THE MARCH OF LABOR.
