AFL Asks Truman
To Back Higher
Wage Rates Now

Washington, D. C.-Labor confident
ly expected President Truman to come
out strongly for higher wage rates to
protect the purchasing power of the
workers and prevent disas-
trous deflation. At the same time the
President was reported firmly insist
ent on keeping tight lid on prices,
to prevent further initiation.
President William Green headed an
AFL delegation which was invited to
confer with the President at the White
House the day before he delivered his
radio address on wage policy to the
nation.
Mr.. Green and his colleagues told the
President industry as whole can af-
ford to pay substantial increases in
wage rates out of profits and huge
savings in production costs. He warn
ed the President that the drastic cuts
in take-home pay since the end of the
war would prove serious obstacle to
postwar recovery unless they were off
set by higher wage rates immediate
ly.
Those who accompanied Mr. Green
to the White House conference in
cluded Vice President Matthew Woll,
President Martin Durkin of the Plumb
ers and Steamfitters, President
Charles J. MCGOWAN of the Boiler
makers and AFL Economist Boris
Shishkin.
Mr.. Green elaborated on the AFL's
wage policy in an address before a
special victory convention of the
Massachusetts, State Federation of
Labor. He said:
Labor demands such action not only
in the name of justice, but for the
national welfare. Unless purchasing
power of the great masses of workers
is increased through higher wage
rates, America is headed for a post
war depression. Business will suffer.
So will the farmers. They need a mar
ket for their products or they will
start losing money. The best market
in the world is more cash in the poe
kets of American workers to buy the
things they need for themselves and
their families"
