Background Of the steelWorkers
argument Tor breaking the Little

cents an hour wage increase and

his:
When TIE War Labor Board

la ia July. l942. after conductino
extensive hearings from September,
1871. &C February, 1912. the United
StaelTorkers union made represen-
tG-ions 70 WLB against the formula
or the grounds that it would grant
greater Increases to higher paid
Worher5 han to lower paid workers
and would provide greater distor-
tic4- I'D inequities in the national
var picture.
When the stabilization law was
passC1 and the President issued
.lle executive order $3.50 in October.

assumed that CONGRESS would enact
a realistic tax program.
Il is The contention of the steel
workers that Congress did not carry
ont its part of the seven-point pro-
eram. 1t refused to put a $4,000
limit on salaries. 1t did not pro-
vide rigidity of farm prices that
would keep down the cost of living.
Its tax program provided first for
the Ruml plan which gave a tax
Tindfall to the wealthy and second
for a carryback return of corpora

AVERAGE S1.14 AN HOUR
On January /, 1913, the policy
committee of the Steelworkers union
the presidents Of some 600 local
unions-met in Pittsburgh and de-
| lermined to seek wage adjustment.
Since the start of the war, steel
/ workers. had had one wage increase
81 z cents an hour, granted under
. he Little Steel formula. This
brought their average straight time
rate to s106 an hour, the average
earnings, including overtime, to sl.14
an hour
On January 7, President Phil
Murray Of the steelworkers returned
to Washington and in an evening
session a the home of WLB Chair
man William H. Davis, Murray tolo
De.l5 tLat the steelworks intended
% attack the Little Steel formula
without attacking the stabilization
law.
Davis told Murray that he would
welcome the presentation OF the
steelworkers argument and express
ed the wish that he could resign
his craftsmanship of the board so as
to sit on a panel which would hear
the case. Also, that the only way
that such a case could be presented
20 the War Labor Board was by
regular processing-that is, the
union would have to go through
collective bargaining with the steel
companies and have their case Ger
titled TO the board in case they were
unable to reach an agreement di-
rectly.
The steelworkers took months in
their case, and incident
ally, let the coal and rail wage cases ,
take precedence. On December | |
they made demands for II cents an
lcur increase and gave 30 days
notice o. cancellation Of existing and
continuing wage agreements.
AIM AT ANIMAL
WAGE GUARANTEE
Negotiations between the steel
companies and the union began on
December ID and ran for two weeks.
On December % the union demand
for retroactive pay on any agree
ment that might be reached was
oeneid by the War Labor Board, but
was reconsidered two days later. On
December 81, Murray disclosed that
ne was also negotiating for an an
Eual wage guarantee.
one argument on the annual wage
guarantee Is that since the steel
companies are guaranteed income
by cutbacks from corporation excess
profits provisions of the tax law,
they can afford TO guarantee the in
come OF their employees.

made of the airports turned back
to them. The group seeks a more
or less general statewide plan for
maintenance and operation of these
ports, Preble said.

to get something started SO we will
not be caught at the close Of the
war without any definite plans or
arrangements. Imperial county is,
of course, particularly interested in

and we are watching that phase
