MOVE SPREADS ~ AS PRICES RISE

Unions Plan Walkouts in Protest; National Tieup Is Predicted.

By UNITED PRESS Labor unions planned walkouts and buyers’ strikes today to protest the steady rise of prices. ; A survey of principal citfés across the nation showed prices for basic foods and other commodities were continuing to mount. At Chicago, Walter P. Reuther, president of the powerful C10 United Automobile Workers announced the union's 800,000 members would quit work tomorrow for one or two hours to protest rising prices, If price controls are not reinstated, Mr. Reuther predicted, there

would be a buyers’ strike “such as|

this country has never known.” He warned if prices are not curbed
