...withhold membership payments from C.I.O. headquarters if Murray rejected the obviously unacceptable demands. As an added fillip, it approved a resolution indirectly accusing Murray's steelworkers of selling out labor by accepting the recommendations of President Truman's steel fact-finding board and abandoning first-round wage demands...
While the attitude of the British labor class is still unsolidified, it will soon emerge reflecting "bread-and-butter" objections--desire for wage increases to meet the rising domestic prices consequent with devaluation. So far Sir Stafford Cripps' 20 percent increase in profits taxes does no more than place an unreasonable burden on an already belabored people.

Democratic publishers feared that...
Important Product. At Father O'Hara's first post in Portland, Ore. it became clear that he liked to plow new ground in the Lordls vineyard. In 1913, when such causes were far from popular, he took the lead in pushing a minimum wage law through the Oregon legislature- one of the first com pulsory wage laws in the U.S. But perhaps his dearest concern of all, as both priest and bishop, is in developing his church in rural areas...
