WASHINGTON, (UP)—Presilent Eisenhower’s plea for business and labor to go easy on price and wage hikes comes at a time when prices have been rising almost steadily for a year and wages are at a record level.
Government economists said
there is a possibility that wage contract settlements this year may fall, more or less, within the President’s formula for holding the line against inflation. They were more uncertain on the price

Roll w'as called and responses were given by some short talks. Mrs. Blue gave an in-
prime minister as favorable. Prices moved higher with the railroads making the best percentage gain of the major groups. Aircrafts ru^ed strong with gains ranging to more than a point. Ship building issues rose as much as 2 points in Newport News Shipbuilding. Selected steels gained a point or better. Gulf Oil led its group with a gain of nearly 2 points. It was active, thanks to a block of 8.900 shares. Delaware & Hudson took honors in the rails and led the whole market in turnover, helped by a single sale of 11.500 shares, Royal Dutch also was active and firm. Chrysler rose more than a point to lead the motors which were helped by a spurt of 63 per cent over last week in the production schedule this week. Sugars again set new highs. Gold issues wore | strong for a time .with Homestake at a new top. Special issues had gains ranging to more than 3 points in Fanstoel Metallurgical. American Seating was given a boost when the prerideht asked high priority on the '’shhool bill.

ing farm prices wdiich offset price rises in other fields. The initial and unofficial reaction of labor economists to Mr. Eisenhower’s productivity formula for wage increases w^as a flat “no." They said he overlooked labor’s fundamental point in bargaining: Where profit margins increase, wages should go up, regardless of productivity. But the fact is that a number of major wage contracts, including those in the so-called w r age “pattern-setting” steel and automobile industries, are long-term affairs that provide for automatic wage bikes this year. The bulk of these “built in" wage hikes run from six to nine cents an hour and are lower than increases negotiated last year. They may set the pattern for wage negotiations in other industries in 1957. Government economists said the productivity rise this year, in manufacturing at least, may outstrip the wage boosts or off-
set them.

Canadian Rail Strike End Seen OTTAWA (UP) Government, union and Company officials expected an end today of the nine-day-old strike against the Canadian Pacific Railway. The strike has tied up operations of the 17.000 mile line, disrupted industries and cut off some northern communities from supplies. Canadian Labor Congress Leader Claude Jodoin said he had hoped for the end to come Thursday night “but it should be today for sure," he said. Railway President C. D. Crump was non-committal, but a company official said the CPR was "as anxious as everybody else to end the strike as speedily as po.-»s-ible."
