Labor Demands Disputes Be Controlled by WSB
Washington AP The Wage Stabilization Board faces a fresh hurdle as unions demand the board handle labor disputes as well as wage controls. Economic Stabilization Administrator Eric Johnston moves to form a new industry labor public board to replace the nine man panel. Labor leaders announce resignations in protest against wage controls and perceived big business domination of defense. Johnston acts as one man wage board relaxing the 10 percent wage ceiling for cost of living boosts through June 30 if escalator contracts signed before Jan 25. A three member board is named to study full nine cent raises for CIO and AFL in house workers. A 3.5 percent price rise for passenger cars is ordered to offset higher costs. Johnston considers an 18 member board to include labor industry and public reps. Labor policy committee demands a reconstituted board with wage stabilization and disputes powers. Officials warn dual tasks may exceed authority as lawyers note the board cannot fix ceilings and resolve disputes simultaneously.
