War era cost controls and labor policy update
Roosevelt weighs stronger controls to curb living costs including price checks. The War Labor Board sets a national wage stabilization policy to hold purchasing power to January 1941 levels, with 15 percent hikes allowed but no raises if gains exceed substandard needs. Reports cover labor supply, rationing rules, and wartime manpower trends, plus foreign relations and military developments.
