Vinson himself hesitated to approve the wage as It will mean an annual hundred-million-dollar Increase In the price of such a basic material as steel. In view of that product's key role In our wartime and peacetime economy, the additional cost may start an upward spiral which will be felt In all lines of consumers' goods now a no in the postwar period.

Price administration experts figured originally that the bonus would amount to only three or four cents an hour per man. as against the 17 cen-s demanded by the unions.

Now it is estimated that the net boost will come to seven or eight cents an hour. The most unfortunate feature of the award. In Mr. Vinson's opinion. Is that it will encourage similar requests from numerous other groups of workers.
