Leaders of construction un-
ions weren’t happy about the
President’s executive order.
They said they would “obey the
law” but would fight the Presi-
dent's plan by all legal means
available.
I.W. Abel, president of the
United Steelworkers union,
which faces industrywide nego-
tiations with steel companies
this summer, said his union
would not accept any wage lim-
it similar to that applied to con-
struction bargaining.
The same day the President
moved to curb the construction
industray wage-price spiral, the
Congressional Joint Economic
Committee issued a report
which concluded that the econo-
don’t exceed average annual in-
creases negotiated from 1961
through 1968, which was about
6 per cent per year.
But the system is a loose one,
with the boards and the com-
mittee given considerable lati-
tude in interpreting the criteria
set forth in the President's or-

per cent figure wasn’t “a hard
and fast one."
Some observers noted that
last year’s settlements in con-
struction average 15 per cent a
year, so equity adjustment
could wipe out the 6 per cent
figure. Some crafts might de-
mand more than 6 per cent this
inflation was a key topic of dis-
cussion in business circles this
past week.
If labor and management
looked upon the President’s
system on constraints on wages
and prices as “a barrier to be
circumvented, it will fail,” said
Labor Secretary J.D. Hodgson.
But he predicted that if the

hand, the President said he en-
visoned “a bright and pros-
perous future,” if sensible re-
straint were practiced.
It will be some time, how-
ever, before It will be known
whether the new system can, in
fact, slow inflation in the build-
ing industry.
