C I O Head And Labor Bureau Clash Over Cost Of Living
The congressional inquiry into wartime living costs for white collar workers featured a clash between CIO leader Philip Murray and Labor Department statistician A F Hinrichs. Murray cited CIO findings of a 6 percent rise since January, while the department reported 23.4 percent. Abram Flaxer urged higher wages for local government workers and arbitration to settle grievances, arguing the stabilization act supports adjusting the little steel formula. He warned that housewives faced 50 percent higher costs by December 1943 versus January 1941 and called for wage policy changes to ensure steady production. Murray noted CIO organizing efforts among white collar workers and government employees.
