| Description | World War II cartoon shows Economic Stabilization Director Fred Vinson and National War Labor Board Chairman William Davis sitting on a limb labeled "Wage Controls" that is being sawed off by labor leaders Philip Murray and William Green. In the summer of 1944, both the AFofL and the CIO argued that wages for longshoremen should be raised due to the increased cost of living. The WLB tried to hold the line, but it appeared likely that Roosevelt would go along with the increase. |
