Roosevelt Signals Possible Congress Budget Controls War Wages
President Roosevelt in a press conference floated asking Congress for stronger measures to curb living costs including wartime wage controls. He stressed the need to protect the average family's expenses as the country faces inflationary pressures. The War Labor Board unveiled a wage stabilization plan aiming to preserve workers purchasing power at January 1941 levels, proposing about a 15 percent pay increase as a baseline to meet living costs.

War Labor Rules Set For Wage Increases Across Industry
The War Labor Board issued a ruling capping wage raises from the date to May 1, 1942. It says increases of 15 percent or more within that period will not trigger further raises unless rates remain substandard and inequities must be wiped out. The board ordered a 44 cent daily raise retroactive to February for 157,000 Little Steel workers, after the union sought $1 daily. The decision also maintains union membership and supports dues checkoff. President Roosevelt commented that wage issues are relative, noting a 5 percent steel wage rise would not inflate living costs as much as similar gains in food canning.
