government if they are to be used as a reason for price increases. The stabilization administrator may grant exceptions. Employers who raise wages without government exception or approval forfeit their claim for price increases. In certain cases, the administrator may declare wage increases unlawful even if they do not involve price increases. Wage increases made legally before this, or made in accord with government recommendations already issued, shall be valid. This applies to the recommended settlements in the steel, General Motors and meat packing strikes, for instance.

Prices “The price administrator shall promptly provide for the adjustment of price ceilings in any case in which he finds that an industry is in a position of hardship as a consequence of an approved increase in wages or salaries.” This eliminates the present provision that an industry or firm must wait six months to show & hardship. The’ price increase, in ener, shal] be sufficient to permit an industry to pay an approved wage increase and still equal its pre-" war rate of profits. However, the price increases shall not be that large while the industry is operating “at a temporary low volume.”

Bowles Replaces Collet

At the same time, the President appointed Price Administrator Chester Bowles to administer the new program. Mr. Bowles replaces John C. Collet as director’of economic. stabilization. Mr. Truman also borrowed Paul A. Porter from the chairmanship of the federal communications commission to succeed Mr. Bowles as. head of OPA. Mr. Collet is expected to return to his Missouri federal judgeship, from which he has been on leave. Mr. Truman's wage-price order was designed to encourage employers to grant wage increases. Thus he hoped to allay industrial unrest which has hindered reconversion and idled about 1,500,000 workers in current strikes, 4 ‘Bargaining Breaks Down’ In a statement accompanying his | order, the President explained that he had hoped that a return to free collective bargaining would spur reconversion. However, he said, collective bargaining broke down in many cases {and vita} production lagged because of strikes. “I am now modifying our wageprice policy to permit wage increases within certain limits and to permit any industry placed in a | hardship position by an: approved {increase fo seek price adjustments | without waiting until the end of a | six months’ test period, as previouslly required,” he said.
