Little Steel wage formula shattered by wartime raises
William H. Davis of the War Labor Board says the Little Steel formula did not bend it. Irving S. Olds notes U S Steel wages rose 43 percent since 1941. costs rose 29 to 30 percent. The WLB granted raises for 400000 workers based on secondary benefits, not the 17 cent general raise. Roosevelt must decide whether to scrap or retain the formula as a wartime balance.
