tions of the labor and fire and panic

found in almost 80 per cent of the
firms inspected in % counties, accord
ing to a report received by Secretary

This special inspection is being
made by several hundred works
progress administration workers who
are being directed by the regular in
spectors Of the department. To date
the group has inspected 209, ,48a
places, finding violations in 6,204 OF
29.4 per cent.
"Of course, not all of these employ
ers are wilful violators," said Secre-

many cases the faults are corrected
as soon as they are called to the at
tention Of the employer"
One Of the tasks assigned to the
inspectors is that of checking on com

According to Hoyle"

Edmund Tor Edmond) Hoyle, the
first systematizer of the laws of the
card game whist" and author Of q
book of games, was born In 1872 and
died in London In 1709. He was law
yer who gave lessons In card playing,
and his Short Treatise on the Game
Of Whist was first published in lTA2.
The laws OF Hoyle were regarded 40
authoritative for at least 100 years,
and the weight Of his authority is In
dicated by the phrase according TO
Hoyle." which was arst applied to the
game Of whist. Fielding In his novel
Tom Jones" refers to my Hoyle, my
best Hoyle, which cost me q guinea,
lying open on the table" Byron In his
Don Juan" says that "Troy owes to
Homer what whist owes to boyle. +"
Books OF rules for card games and
other games are still given Hovls's
name and to play according to Hoyle
is TO play correctly or according to
standard authorities.

Stove Company Ordered
To Reinstate Union Men

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board has
ordered the reinstatement with back
pay of Walter R. Smith and Frank w.
Setback, discharged by the Renown
Stove Company at its Owosso, Mich,
plant last January, because of their
union affiliations. At a hearing be-
fore Trial Examiner David " Martin,
the company contended that Smith and
Setback were discharged for holding
up production on their assembly line
Witnesses, however, revealed that
Smith and Setback were regarded by
their fellow workers as the fastest
mounters in the plant, so skillful that
they were used as instructors for ap-
prentices.
The trial examiner reported evil
dence of company hostility to the local
unions of which Smith and Setback
We're members; and that their dis
charges were the result of company
determination to break up the unions.
These findings are sustained in the
boards decision, which orders the
company to cease and desist from dis
couraging membership in Local rs, the
Stove Mounters' International Union
and Local No. 88, international
Brotherhood of Foundry Employees.
