Ceiling On
Considered
WASHINGTON'. July — Presi
dent Roosevelt told his press con
ference that the whole question
of wage controls and inflation
were under study. He made this
statement when asked for his re
action to the proposal for a
broad wage stabilization policy
to be laid down by the War La
bor Board so as to maintain pur
chasing power and hourly wages
at the levels of January, 1941.
The President said that no de
icesion had been reached and that
when a decision is reached he
might send a message to Con
gress on the subect asking for a
basis for a program to keep the
c st of 1 ving from going up.
Unions Are Dissatisfied
Even as the President talked,
unionists expressed dissatisfac
tion with the Labor Board’s rul
mg, laid down by an 8 to 4 de
cision. The Labor Board permit
ted an increase of 44 cents a day
in wages of workers in the “Lit
j tie Steel” companies, who were
seeking $1 a dav increase thru
j the CIO
The United Steel Workers’s la
bor members on the Labor Board
opposed the ruling saying it
would hamper the nation's war
\ effort.
Stef' mionists quickly protest
ed against the Board decision.
The R 'oobl'c Steel Corpora
i tion on- of the four concerns af
fect'd. said: |
"The wage increase of 44 cents j
I a day :s a long step in the di- |
j rection of inflation. Corporation
officers said they would study
the Labor Board’s opinion before:
deciding n their future course
of action.
Talked With Murray
President Roosevelt said that
he had discussed at length with
CIO president Phillip Murray,
the raise to Little Steel workers j
passed by the War Labor Board.
The President said he had no
comm. nts to make it this time.
