CIO Group Demands Nelson Oust Dollar-Year Men
CIO members of the War Production Board labor advisory committee urged chairman Donald M. Nelson to remove certain dollar-a-year officials accused of hampering steel and war material production. The three signatories, led by Walter Reuther, also pressed for reinstatement of Frederick Libbey, fired for exposing failures in the WPB iron steel branch. Officials said Libbey was dismissed for discussing a confidential report and other personnel reasons.
