U. 5. Officials Weigh
Labor-Management
Farley Asked by Clio
Murroy Hints 'ko-Strike'
Pledge if Rollboek
Of Prices Is Granted
By Jones Y. Newton

Federal officials today were
considering a CIO request for a
labor management conference
to stabilize the economy and
showed special interest in Presi-
dent Philip Murray's hint that
he would not be averse to giving
a no-strike pledge if manage
ment indicated some conces-
sions on prices.
One official said the Government
was inclined to shy away from such
conference since the big labor
management peace meeting here
last fall turned out so poorly. He
added, however, that the CIO sug-
gestion would be given every con-
sideration.
At the White House Press Secre-
tary Charles G. Ross refused to
comment when newsmen questioned
him about the conference sugges-
ton. Mr.. Ross said he did not think
President Truman had received the
CIO idea officially.
The economy -stabilizing confer
ence idea was advanced by the CIO
Executive Board meeting here in a
statement in which it was pointed
out that living prices rave risen 40
per cent in the past two months and
Is per cent since price controls ex-
pired June 80.
No-strike Pledge Possible,
In a follow-up news conference,
Mr.. Murray went further than he
has since VI day in discussing pos
sibility of labor no-strike pledge.
He said that such a pledge would
be given every consideration as
part of the whole picture" adding
that the CIO was not prepared to
make any such commitment at this
time.
The inference was that the CIO
might come forward with a no.
strike promise II industry would
agree to a roll-back of prices to
somewhere near June 80 levels.
All of this would be discussed at
the stabilization conference. Mr..
Murray will formalize the suggestion
in letter to President Truman He
said that if the meeting were to be

Offer Not Even

BY the As,oeioted Pres.


Senate Majority Leader Bark
ley said today that Senate and
House confereeS had found mo
common ground" for agreement
on the terms of an OPA revival
bill.
ut doesn't look so good" Senator
Barkley told reporters, when asked
about chances of an agreement on
the Senate-a2proved measure which
administration lieutenants are seek
ing to revise to meet reported OBJ
jections of President Truman.
Senator Barkley said a proposal
drafted by a subcommittee headed
by Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, to provide for restora-
ton of price ceilings on major items
exempted by the Senate was In
such rough form" that the COM
mittee made no progress in con-
sidering 1t.
Compromise Possible.
He limited at possible compro-
mise by which the decision on re-
turning commodities to OPA control
might be given to the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration. He said
this would eliminate contentious
that the OPA would be arbitrary in
it's decisions.
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
who directed preparation of the pro-
posed compromise, said the House
conferees "flatly rejected it and
refused to accept any bill that elm
mates price ceilings on important
food items
The compromise would permit the
proposed board to return the food
to OPA controls on these findings
!. That prices had risen unreason-
ably above former OPA price CELL
ings, after subsidies were taken into
consideration.

found to be in scarce supply and
thatresumption Of price ceilings was
practicable
). That such action would be In
the public interest.
CIO Asks Pay Raises.
The prospects for an OPA revival
hit a new low as the CIO called for
a national buyers strike and a new
round OF wage increases.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee likewise told
newsmen, The prospects are dark
for the restoration of effective price
controls"
His comment came after Senate
conferees rejected a House proposal
to revoke the Senate bills ban on any
future ceilings for such essential
market basket items as milk, meat
eggs and cheese.
Also defeated by the conferees
late yesterday was an attempt to re-
vive the Taft industrial pricing
amendment in modified form. The
original pricing formula by Senator
Taft bore the brunt of President
Trumsn's ire in his veto of the
original OPA extension bill.
Meanwhile, the House agreed to-
day-with reservations-to a Senate
prohibition against the use OF any
of OPAs funds for "propagsn in
support of price controls.
The action was by voice vote on a
Senate amendment to a deficiency
measure carrying funds for OPA and
other Government agencies for the
fiscal year that started July l.
The Senate had banned use of
the money for general propaganda
In support of price control or any

The House voted to limit the pro-
hibition to propaganda in support
of price controls generally, but re-
moved the inhibition against any
