The Wage Stabilization Board opened the door for a four cent hourly rise in auto industry wages without triggering a general pay hike. An 18 member panel approved a production raise for 350000 General Motors workers, with similar terms for other auto workers if employers grant equal increases without price boosts. The action guards against immediate widespread raises, as the board works toward a general formula amid talks with Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston.
