Description
High profits cause high prices, says Labor Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach. Speaking before the Federation of Labor convention at San Francisco, California, Schwellenbach sounds his "A" in the nationwide argument over the cause of inflation; his charge is that industry's large profits, and not workers' wage increases, are causing high prices. From: John E. Boos.
