30 per cent boost for hourly wage rates seemed to be the probable compromise, but neither side was talking compromise. Back of this on the union side
was a general movement among C. I. O. unions for a 30 per cent increase in basic pay to bring the take-home wages under reduced hours up to what it was in the overtime of wartime.
