LAYOFF IS WON
FOROVERT|NE

Compensatory time off for over
time will be allowed by the Con-
sumer's Advisory Board of the
NRA, according to a notice to the
staff signed by Dexter Keezer,
executive director,
The notice says it is not pos
sible to maintain regular working
hours, because there are often
rush assignments, but that every
effort will be made to compensate
for extra time.
The order was issued following
requests by MIRA Lodge. No. 81,
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, that overtime be
discontinued. It is regarded by
union officials as a victory. Of i'm
portance.
Less satisfactory is the situa-
ton with the National Labor
Board, where Senator Robert F.
Wagner (D0, of New York, chair
man, several weeks ago declared
overtime must end. OF late, how
ever, congressional duties have not
permitted him to keep as closely
in touch as formerly with person
mel affairs, lodge officials say, and
overtime is creeping up" again.
An order purporting to set a
standard on overtime, is said by
lodge officials so worded as to be
meaningless.

Of railroad managers, told the
labor railway executives:
'In the light of the position
which you have taken in EeSpect
to the matters which we have
been considering at this confer

no alternative except to with
draw from your consideration
our offer to defer a reduction in
basic rates of pay, which we
made in an earnest and sincere
effort to cooperate with the
President of the United States
in order to aid in effecting a ma
tiOnal recovery during 1884"
Saturday, in a lengthy state
ment, the union representatives
declined the proposal, referring tc
which, Mr.. Thiehoff declared:
Notwithstanding your decli-
nation of this propOrO', we are
still willing that you should
consider it. Your continued
declinatiOn will, of course, make
it necessary that we withdraw
it.
"This will leave before us for
consideration only our notice
of a Is per cent reduction in
basic rates of pay to become
effective on July l, 1884. 1t was
to consider that notice that this
conference is held pursuant to
the agreement between your as
SOciatiOn and our committee
and under the railway labor
act"
Mr.. Thiehoff said the unions
statement Saturday dealt at great
length with certain statistical
data "of a highly controversial
nature" Little purpose, he added
would be served in undertaking
to reply in any detailed way at

An overwhelming majority in

Militant Course for Auto
Plant Workers

DETROIT, March 10 G.N.S0.
A calm, presaging what may be
the worst storm in the auto in
dustry's history, prevailed in the
motor plants today as prepara-
tions went forward for a strike
Of 100000 workers Wednesday.
The only noticeable strike &C.
tivity of the workers was the Sc
ries of meetings and conferences
taking place almost continuously
in Flint, Pontiac and Detroit. The
unions were busy consolidating
their ranks and issuing final in
structions as to picket lines, strike
headquarters, and all the mech
anism of militant labor organ
ization.
In the auxiliary plants of the
industry-the tool-and-die shops,
the foundries, and the parts fac
tories-workers were being for
mally notified of the FeEeration
Of Labor's intention to call a gen.
eral strike.
In some Of the plants there was
jittery atmosphere. The work
ers were nervous, uncertain and
confused. A desire to stand united
with their brothers in the motor
plants clashed with the prospect
of plunging their families into a
period of possible misery.
In one auxiliary plant, the
Peninsular Metal Products Com
pany, between 200 and 1000
workers suddenly laid down their
tools and walked out, without an
nouncing their reason.

ness has been seriously hampered
by the paralysis of banking &C
tivties.
Representatives Mcleod intro
duced at that point petition
carrying the signatures of more
than $1,000 persons of II States
in favor of the bill.
The next, witness Representa-
tive Bacharach (R) of New Jer-
sey, declared that New Jersey
banks are all in very bad shape"
especially at summer resorts, and
that the closing of banks left
many persons with only what
change they had in their pockets.
Controversy Arises
Controversy arose at this point
at the intervention of Representa-
tive Robert Luce (RJ of Massa-
chusetts, who declared there
should be an investigation into
why the Administration has not
carried out provisions of the
Glass bill, passed last June,
Representative William Connery
(D) of Massachusetts,, the next
witness, declared that failure Of
the Federal National Bank, in
Boston, closed down many State
banks, and similar occurrences
were common throughout the
country. Federal relief to such
national banks, he said, would
bring direct relief also to State
banks as a result of that situa-
ton.
Aid Seen to Employers
Representative Stephen M.
Young (DO of Ohio pointed out
that the largest depositors in
closed Cleveland banks were en-
ployers of large numbers Of men,
so that passage of the Mcleod
bill would be a God send" to
the nation.
He was followed by Represent
ative F. r. Lehlbach (R0 Of New
Jersey favoring the bill, and by
Representative M. L. Sweeney
CD of Ohio, who declared that
the administration two years ago
begged people not to hoard and
to retain confidence in national
banks.
The Government is under great
obligations, he said, to come to
the aid of those people in return
for their loyalty.
$3O,OOO,OOO for Washington
In defending his own bill, Mr..
Mcleod said it would be possible
to aid all closed national banks by
an expenditure not exceeding
1,50O million dollars. OF that
amount. approximately $3O,00O,.
900 would be used to reimburse de
positors Of closed banks in Wash.
ington.
The hearing was interrupted by

of the Bankhead cotton bill, but
will be resumed tomorrow morn

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

n ORMULAS are figured according
- to two principles. With one, the
feeding expert takes account of
l. the caloric requirements of the
baby of any given age and
weight, and figures the amount of milk
and sugar that will supply the required
calories
With the other method, the necessary
protein requirements are figured and
measured in milk. Then sugar and
water are added according to certain
identical in both methods. My leaflet,
Sweet Milk Formulas" uses the lat
ter method.
All feeding formulas are figured for
"a hours. To give the baby bottle
of milk, which has been diluted and
sweetened, Is slip-shod and inaccurate
method, and Mrs C. B. is finding it un-
satisfactory. She writes: MY baby boy
weighed pounds at BIRTH and now, at
3 months, weighs 1914 pounds. His
formula is two and one-half ounces OF
milk, one and one-haf ounces of water
and one teaspoonful of sugar for each
bottle He is never satisfied with this.
He doesn't sleep well at night and has
lots of gas. He Is constipated and
have to give him a laxative. When
can he have whole milk? How shall
increase the water and sugar? I wish
you could. help me so that the family
could get nights rest
The least milk your baby should have
is 1872 ounces daily. Even If you were
giving seven feelings, the baby would
get only 1715 ounces. The maximum
amount of boiled milk, if baby's diges-
ton is good and his appetite demands
it, is IS ounces daily. The other re-
quirements are boiled water and at
least level tablespoonful of sugar.
For the present, increase the formula
to 20 ounces of boiled milk, 10 ounces
of boiled water and 4 tablespoonfuls
of sugar. As baby's appetite and d1-
gestion permit, increase the milk to rs
ounces and decrease the water propor-
tionate1y. If this amount of sugar does
not end the use of laxatives, increase
it to five or even six tablespoonfuls
daily. I hope you will send for the
leafiet mentioned.
Your baby has good cause to be dis
satisfied. Your present formula lacks
milk, water and sugar. Whole milk is
seldom given before the ninth or tenth
month, depending upon baby's gains in
weight and his digestive capacity.
