CIO Calls to End Wage Stabilization Board Controls
CIO President Philip Murray announced in Washington that the Wage Stabilization Board should be eliminated to speed conversion and maintain industrial peace. Murray, at a news conference, said no government body should approve or disapprove wage adjustments reached by voluntary bargaining, a position approved by the CIO policy committee. The letter to Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles argues that wage settlements set patterns for take home pay and warns delaying their application harms the common welfare.
