New Wage Drives By CI0 Looms

Hinted as Living Cost Hits All-Time High .

WASHINGTON, July 24 .(U. PJ, —A drive for a “third round” of wage increases by C. I. O. unions loomed today as the government's cost of living index hit an all-time

C. I. O. Vice President Emil Rieve hinted at the new C. 1. O. drive in a statement on President Truman's midyear economic report. “With prices still rising,” he said, “our unions are forced to seek enough money to permit them to obtain decent levels of living for their families.” : Two major C. 1. O. unions—Mr, Rieve’s Textile Workers and the United Rubber Workers — already have reopened 1947 contract negotiations for further wage increases. The United Steelworkers have begun negotiation with U. 8. Steel Corp. on a new insurance plan which some union sources hope. will equal a 10-cent-an-hour pay boost. Other C. 1. O. unions reportedly will seek hourly wage increases and more “fringe” benefits—such as insurance plans—when their present contracts are reopened in six to eight months, A. P. of L. President William Green, commenting earlier on Mr. Truman's report, said A. F. of L. ‘unions were much concerned with the lag of purchasing power behind rising prices. A. F. of L. sources sald this meant new demands for higher wages if prices continued upward.
