AFL Opens Second Big Wage Attack
The AFL charges the Little Steel formula acts as an economic thumbscrew on workers. George Meany outlines the union’s case before a war labor board panel for a factual modification of the formula, citing living costs up 43 percent since January 1, 1941. The panels, limited to fact finding, may prompt a further board inquiry and possible presidential action.
