The United States Wage Stabilization Board was created as an agency of the Economic
Stabilization Agency by executive order under the authority of the Defense
Production Act of 1950. Its function was to control wages during the Korean War. An
executive order, 1951, reestablished the Board with power to assist the president in
settling industrial disputes. In July, 1952, the Board was reconstituted under
legislative authority and stripped of its functions in the area of labor disputes.
It was terminated April 30, 1953.
Materials of the U.S. Wage Stabilization Board include memoranda and press releases
concerning wage policy, union security, procedures for handling cases, and national
defense.
Also, panel reports and recommendations, answers, statements and briefs pertaining to
the labor dispute settlement case of the United Steelworkers of America vs. various
steel and iron ore companies (1952) on issues of shift differential, vacation,
holiday, ability to pay, profits, geographic wage differentials, management rights,
working conditions, contracting out, seniority, arbitration procedure, wage
adjustment, productivity, union security, and wage differential.
