Summary
- World War II cartoon shows an American soldier in the jungle surrounded by explosions, listening to a radio that blares, "Philip Murray claims rigid cost of living wage increase formula would destroy morale of American workers." In September 1942, President Roosevelt asked for legislation to stabilize prices, wages, and salaries. Labor leaders such as Murray of the CIO generally opposed the idea, but the bill was passed on October 2. Berryman contrasts labor's contention that American workers would suffer hardships with the hardships of American military personnel in the Pacific.
