Wage Increase Refused by War Labor Board
The War Labor Board rejected a general wage increase at Western Electric's Point Breeze plant in Baltimore, deeming it would destabilize area wages and hinder anti inflation efforts. The decision affects 6,535 employees and urges the company and the Point Breeze Employes Administration (independent) to pursue shorter progression schedules and wage steps instead.
