Bust Seen
AS Prices
Pass Wages

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 -
(LPA) - The sharp rise in
prices-estimated at 4O% above
VI Days bound to cause a
rapid dislocation in coming
months, former OPA chief Leon
Henderson warned last week.
Advising industrialists not to
rely on the pent-up demand of
the people of the country to
carry business through the rapid
price collapse that he sees ahead,
Henderson told the American
Marketing Association last week
that Demand is a function of
current earning power in rela-
tion to the workers idea of the
/ security of his pay envelope"
When the "bust" comes next
year, Henderson told the mar
ket experts that there will be a
big gap between what is of
fered in the market and what
the consumer will pay" The
III. S. economy has never been
able to pull out of such an up
ward price spiral as it is now
experiencing without a major
breakdown, Henderson asserted
BIS Reports Rise
Adding further evidence OF
skyrocketing prices, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics last week
reported that wholesale food
prices are 51.8% above a year
ago, while the wholesale prices
of all commodities average out
21.8% higher than at the end ot
June 1946.
Weekly paychecks, accord
to the Bureau of Labor Stats.
tics are $3.50 below the Jan
l945 wartime peak. Average
weekly earnings according to q
release issued on the same day
in manufacturing industries ir
October averaged $4583, a rise
of only SIS above last October
despite cost of living rises oi
1917 over a year ago. Retail
prices, BIS found, went up
I1.7% between mid-September
and mid-October while weekly
earnings rose only from $45.41
in Septeber to an estimated
$45.83 in October.

temporarily deferre d. Mr..
Spieker said he would under
write the project and others said
that they were certain their or
ganizations would contribute.
Seeks PR Opponents
Richard Gosser expressed the
view that the study of the city
government would be expedited
by all groups opposed to the PR
system uniting to attempt to
write a charter amendment that
would be satisfactory to all PR
opponents and then attempt to
sell the plan to those who still
believe in the PR system.
Attorney Eva Eppstein Shaw,
a firm believer in the PR system
objected to Mr.. Gosser's S proposal
and stated that she did not be-
lieve that it was quite fair to
exclude anyone interested in
good city government.
Mr.. GoSser explained that he
had no desire to exclude anyone
and said he was seeking to ex-
Ipedite the matter so that there
would not be draWn-out debates
on every point.
The matter was ironed out
when the procedure was adopted
in which each group was invited
to submit its plan in writing.
Still Favor PR
Those present who were still
in favor of PR included Ronald
Gregg of the Municipal League
Mrs. Henry G.. Miller, president
! League of Women Voters; Eva
Eppstein Shaw and Eugene E
Holley, Toledo Small Business
mems Association.
Mrs. Eula Wiley and Arthur
] Leftridge representing the Citi
j zens Educational Committee ex
planned that their groups woulc
not object to a system of elect
j ing by districts. In the previous
meeting they had stood for re
tention of the PR system as nov
constituted.
When Mr.. Gregg suggested, al
he had in the first meeting tina
a charter commission be elected
Mr.. Spieker replied that it wa
the intention of the committet
to take whatever plan envolveC

Present at the meeting were

No-S+rike Plan
Sought By AFL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 -
lHPA) - Now that the gov
ernment is out of wage-fixing in
the building trades, AFL unions
| in that industry and the con-
tractors are trying to work out
a program of wage stability and
no-strikes for the construction
field.
Three meetings have so far
been held on the subject be-
tween officials of the AFL
Building and Construction
Trades Dept. and the Associated
General Contractors of America.
The aim is TO arrive at for
mula for quick settlement of
wage disputes without stop
pages.
So far, the plan is still in the
discussion stage, and may not
come to a head for month or
more, it was explained by Rich
ard ]. Gray, president of the
Building and Construction
Trades ept.
"There is a very nice spirit
in the conference and indica-
tions are that everything is COM
ing along in pretty good shope," ;"
Gray said. There is a desire to
accomplish something in the di-
rection of preventing Stoppages
of work"

Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO re-
.aional director predicted at least
five and perhaps more plans
would be prepared and submitted
10 the committee. The PAC plan
has not yet been submitted, but
Mr.. Gosser intimated that one
would be turned in.
Curiosity was shown in Mayor
Roulet's plan. Mr.. Roulet who
was present at the meeting out
lined that his plan called for elec.
ton of a mayor, auditor and
nine councilmen to be elected
at-large with a primary election
to limit the mayorality and
auditor candidates to two each
and 18 councilmanic candidates.
Still Likes PR
In explaining his plan to the
group, Mayor Roulet said that
he believed in the PR system and
believed that 1t had done its
work. He explained that the
onlv reason he submitted his
proposal was because he was
willing to adopt any other sys-
tenn that might be satisfactory
TO the majority of the people.
Otto Brach, Central Labor
Union executive secretary stated
that the American Federation OF
Labor favored election OF a
mayor and a nine man council
10 be elected by districts.
Samuel F. Young, former
Judge of the Court of Appeals,
outlined his plan which called
for election of a mayor, vice
mayor and election of a nine
man council elected either at
large, or by a combination OF
at.large and districts.
Spieker Warns Group
In discussing the committee
Mr.. Spieker told the group that
"this is a civic undertaking fol

ideas by any one or more groups
