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.
