Ceiling On Pay Hikes For Petroleum Workers Debated
The Wage Stabilization Board considers a flexible ceiling on wage increases for about 90 000 striking oil workers. Six industry wage pacts loom, with unions seeking at least 18 to 20 cents an hour and a higher shift differential, while the industry argues for a 10 cent maximum. The strike hampers oil production and fuels shortages, prompting defense and energy agencies to act.

Senate Panel Cuts Wage Stabilization Board Power
The Senate Banking Committee voted to strip the Wage Stabilization Board of its dispute settlement role and reorganize it as an all public body. It also extended wage and price controls to March 1, 1953 and extended rent control and civilian materials allocation through June 30, 1953. Critics say the extension weakens inflation safeguards.
