Government Won't Retreat On Wage Policy Warns Lewis
John L. Lewis was told by government officials that wage policy would not retreat. The War Labor Board rejected a labor petition for a 1b per cost of living raise while President Roosevelt urged settlement of the dispute through existing channels. The President stressed retroactive wage adjustments only via the authorized acts and executive orders. The board’s vote preserves the Little Steel formula with an 8 to 4 decision, setting the stage for a miners wage dispute and potential retroactive adjustments under wartime policy.
