TRICKY REASONING
DEFEATS STATE LAW

Portland, Ore.-Circuit Court Judge
Walter II. Evans would nullify Ore.
CONS eight-hour law applying to pub
lie work by the simple trick Of rul.
ing that when workers labor more
than eight hours they are parties
to an illegal contract and therefore
can not collect for overtime.
The workers sued for $4,000 over
time after they were forced to work
more than eight hours. The court in
timated that they could refuse to
work-and be discharged.
Attorneys for the workers will ap-
peal. If the decision is upheld it will
not only nullify every protection
afforded workers on public contracts
but it will also defeat statutes regu-
lating hours of working women.

North F street, where the members
had been invited to come, bag and
baggage. They sure did come, about
thirty of them.
After the business session the
unionites were invited by Mrs. Hart
to partake of an old-fashioned dutch
lunch with all its trimmings. And
how the bunch did feed! They sure
were good to themselves. And how
they did store away the refreshments
that went with the lunch and the rest
of the evening. After lunch cards
were played by those who like the
game, and dancing was indulged in
by others. At late hour the party,
with regret, disbanded after voting
Mrs. Hart and Frank the best fell

PASSES BUCK"
Postal Head Opposes Short
er Work Time

Washington. - Passing the buck,
is the comment of Thos. F. Flaherty
editor Union Postal Clerk, on Post
master General Browns rejection o1
the La Toilette longevity and 44-houl
measures.
Mr.. Brown states that "the direc-
tor of the budget advises the expen-
diture is not in accord with the finan-
cial policy of the president"
The Union Postal Clerk is the of
fetal magazine of the National Fed
Grafton of Postal Clerks, affiliated to
A. F. of l..
I'VE doubt that the postmaster
general gave these reports his per-
sonal attention." says Editor Flaher-
ty eve had reason to hope that
these Coolidge evasions would not be
used again. 1t insults the intelligence
Of postal workers, who know that the
director of the budget does not con-
troll postal employment policies. He
is merely used here as bogey man
by administrators who lack the cour-
age to openly oppose the principle of
the shorter working week in the
postal service"
The Brown reports include the an
cient postal deficit alibi and the cost
of 44-hour legislation is estimated at
$13,626, 900. The former assistant
postmaster general-John Fl. Bartlett
estimated that the cost would be
$6,000,000, less than one-half the
present figure.
The Brown reports make no men
ton of employees increased productiv-
ity, decreased labor costs per unit and
other favorable factors assembled by
Congressman Clyde Kelly in his re-
port on similar measure that was
approved by the house post office
committee in the last congress.
The Union Postal Clerk declares
that President Hoover is too keen a
student of economics "to be thus used
by the postal bureaucracy as an ex-
cuse for its traditional policy of mega
ton"
