Labor Board confronts contractors over wartime wage scale
Bowen and McLaughlin, repairing Army half-trucks, defend $1.3742 per hour for heavy duty mechanics as war necessary, while regional War Labor Board attorneys say the rate violates stabilization and diverts workers from other firms. Hearing notes prior notification of non-permissible wages last June and December adjustment approval. Interim payments totaling $1,400,000 are in dispute. James Bork of the War Manpower Commission testified wage necessity for war prosecution. Firm argues few qualified mechanics nearby and likely little impact on others.
