William Hammatt Davis (1879–1964) was the Chairman of the War Labor Board (WLB) in the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt, where his job was keeping industrial peace between management and labor. He was also appointed US Economic Stabilizer in the last months of World War II, though Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, soon eliminated this potentially powerful position. Davis also helped draft the National Labor Relations Act (the Wagner Act) of 1935, which gave labor unions the right to organize.〔Richard Magat, ''Unlikely Partners: Philanthropic Foundations and the Labor Movement'' (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1999), p. 68〕 ==Early life==
Born and raised in Bangor, Maine, Davis was the brother of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Owen Davis. He graduated from Bangor High School and received a law degree from George Washington University in 1901. His first job was in the U.S. Patent Office, but he soon left to become a successful New York patent attorney. He returned to government service briefly in World War I, working in the War Department.〔Benjamin F. Shearer, ''Home Front Heroes'' (Greenwood Press, 2007), p. 213〕
