War Era Conference Board Forms Labor Board
A wartime conference board created in 1918 laid the principles later written into law. It anticipated a National Labor Board with five labor and five employer members plus public reps. It urged no strikes or lockouts during the war and endorsed workers and employers forming unions. Women were to receive equal treatment in the workforce.

Revolutionary wage board decisions reshape wartime labor
The wartime wage board set minimum pay to ensure workers subsistence and health. It repeatedly rejected employee complaints during strikes and issued drastic awards. In Bridgeport, draft deferments were pledged if workers did not return. In Smith and Wesson, the War Department seized the plant to enforce the board. The board reaffirmed the right to organize and barred companies from forcing union avoidance through badges.
