US HOME FRONT ?

Helped out the war in many ways, By people volunteering to submitting to government. And supplying the soldiers with food and supplies needed to win.Labor changed majorly. Was confusion the first 12 months because we entered the war in 1917. The Hollywood film industry found a role to play and every aspect of life from politics to personal savings changed when put on a wartime footing.

War Production Board ?

It is a former government agency. Started in January, 1942, to make a production and obtain materials in the war. To help meet the war's needs and help them win. It quickly dissolved after the defeat of Japan. The chairman (Donald M. Nelson, 1942–44; Julius A. Krug, 1944–45) swept over the economic life.  They organized and changed quickly. After the defeat of japan it was abolished in January, 1945.

National War Labor Board?

 The purpose of the NWLB was to determine to keep agruement from happening between employers and employees and to ensure liability and productivity in the war. The National War Labor Board was a federal agency created in April 1918 by president Woodrow Wilson. The new National War Labor Board was created in 1942 by FDR. The new National War Labor Board was created to charged with acting an to stop disputes between parties that dealt with labor-management dispute cases, thereby preventing the work stoppages which might hurt the war effort. The NWLB dealt with companies like automobiles, shipping, railroads tracks, and telegraph lines. The NWLB was originally divided into 12 Regional Administrative Boards which handled both labor dispute settlement and wage stabilization functions for certain regions. NWLB was expanded to control over wages and prices by stipulating that any adjustment of wages had to be cleared through the National War Board Labor.

My thoughts?

I think we need more groups like these to help out on wars and help out our country. I don't think we should have wars anyways, But that's my opinion.
