Biographical / Historical
When the United Steelworkers of America struck the Garfield, Utah plant of the American Smelting and Refining Co., the U.S. Wage Stabilization Board became involved, as copper and sulphuric acid production was considered essential to national defense.
This dispute grew out of negotiations for a new contract which culminated in a strike on July 2, 1951. On July 26 the President certified the dispute to the U.S. Wage Stabilization since in his opinion the dispute substantially threatened the progress of National Defense. The Chairman of the Board, George W. Taylor, appointed a panel consisting of Lloyd K. Garrison, Chairman, G. Allan Dash, Jr. and Vernon H. Jensen.
