Labor's New Problem In the past the concern of labor unions with the cost of living has been largely abstract and incidental. Price levels were considered mostly for their influence on rates of pay.

The cost of living had little or no ‘bearing in wage negotiations. But with wages stabilized—all but frozen— emphasis has been shifted to a demand strict regulation and control of the cost of ing and the purchasing value of the dollar. bor has begun to serutinize production and for livTadis- tribution costs.

Then he brought his appraising gaze down to the level of His Excellency as a token that at last he had met his equal. For several minutes, while the cameras silently Champions clicked, the two Grand communed with each other, cementing the bond of high esteem induced by their first glance. Neither bellowed nor made promises. Hach seemed aware that his estimate of the other might be marred or weakened by the spoken Hach seemed to appreciate that silent word. homage is the highest tribute. When the cameras were lowered His Excellency departed in quest of further political rehabilitation in the rural districts. ‘The first Grand Champion returned to the contemplation of those things that seem especially important to bulls. Both seemed to convey the impression that Utah should be congratulated on having two Grand Champions. |
