...strong domestic council to moderate wage and price increases by jawboning, and would link the minimum wage to the cost of living. Their platform also pledges the Government to take on necessary tax and spending measures to reduce adult unemployment to 3% within four years?the intent of the Humphrey-Hawkins bill.
