Little Steel Formula May Be Modified
News on front politics hints at a major shift in wartime wage and price control. A modified Little Steel Formula could base living costs on current levels with January 1944 as a new baseline. Revisions may also affect the Bureau of Labor Statistics index and wage adjustments through 1944. The President’s upcoming Congress message and Cairo Teheran results anchor the discussion.

Cost of Living Debate and a Flexible Wage Formula
A committee of two War Labor Board members from industry and two from labor, chaired by William H. Davis, will meet on January 6 before the President's congressional message. It may issue two reports arguing wages reflect higher living costs or that the official index underestimates real costs, especially in new war boom towns. The idea of adapting the Little Steel Formula to a sliding scale, akin to Canada, is explored to avoid inflation.
