Ward Labor Board defends no strike demand in Ward dispute
William H. Davis of the War Labor Board told a House committee the agency must act in the Montgomery Ward labor dispute or risk plant seizure. He warned that without a no strike policy enforced through the WLB, the war effort could be harmed and industrial peace fractured. Davis, noting Ward operates in 47 states with 78 000 employees, urged support for the no strike program as essential to national wartime economy.
