Wage Stabilization Board steel plan under fire
Former Mobilization Chief Iles E. Wilson told the House Labor Committee that the Wage Stabilization Board plan for steel workers exceeds proper policy. He urged a nine cent an hour catch up and warned the industry cannot absorb raises without higher costs. The WSB package totaled 26 cents an hour plus vacation and other benefits. The hearing opened a probe into WSB operations to assess labor dispute settlements and potential Taft Hartley Act violations. The steel case remains tied to broader battles over seizure authority and court rulings on constitutionality.
