Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_3_41_0009
The letter is a response from Honorable George B. Schwabe to the National War Labor Board regarding wages in the brick and tile industry. The Board explains that wage policies have been outlined by the President and the War Labor Board, allowing employers to make voluntary wage increases without approval, as long as prices are not affected. The Board clarifies that wages were not frozen during the war, and stabilization policies were put in place to prevent inflation. The letter provides figures on wages in the industry and discusses the necessity of controls during the war period. Schwabe expresses concern about governmental controls hindering business success in the postwar period.
