Wash decried the fact that costs should attain "incurable disease proportions” before shocking in dustry into a period of modera tion. Brushing aside proposals for token reductions or bargain sales as wholly ineffective in the pres ent situation, Mr. Washburn as serted that in such a critical pe riod only swil't and direct" action can save the nation from plung ing headlong into economic dis aster. Drastic, nation-wide price slashes up and down the line are mandatory, he contended, on re tail, wholesale and manufacturing levels, to avert unbridled infla tion. Mr. Washburn placed full re sponsibility for the current situ ation on industry, whose printed profit reports, he charged, prove quite clearly that “regardless of the product, food, clothing, furni ture or services, the price tag was boosted to squeeze every possible cent of earnings and sav ings from consumers." NEW CONSTRUCTION RECORD San Francisco; Calif.—Construc tion contracts in this State reached an all-time high for the year 1946, aecordng to an announcement by the State Drector of Reconstruc tion and Re-employment. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce esti mated that there was a 1.2 bil lion dollars in private construc tion in California last year, and added to this, another 2&5 mil lion dollars in public works for which contracts were awarded during the year. ^ ■ CLOSED SHOP UPHELD Birmingham, Ala. — Organized labor won a smashing victory here when the Alabama Supreme Court tossed out a drastic strike breaking injunction and held that the closed shop is still legal in i this, State.
