Although he opposed the wishes of organized labor and overrode an appeal for a veto by Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, the President emphasized that he was certain that it was not the intent of congress to nullify past gains made by labor. Explaining his reasons for sign ing the bill, he said, "Businessmen will be able to plan with assurance for full production and price reductions. This will be of real value to labor and management in a continued high level of employment." At the same time he repeated his plea to business for lower prices and requested congress to take immediate steps to increase the statutory minimum wage from 40 to at least 65 cents an hour. portal-to-port- five-roo- co-o- mold-bearin- Finally he bought a Int. designed and personally supervised construchouse tion of a When he had finished, he found he had spent $4,300 (making allowance for salary for himelf for a house that compared favorably with what costing other Albuqerque veterans about $7,000 in the open market.

S. bureau of agricultural economics shows. During the year ending March 1, farm real estate prices rose 12 per cent for the country as a whole.
