WAGE AND HOUR LAW

Endless arguments for and against
the enactment of wage and hour laws have
been put forward, and it must be admit
ted that the problem is one concerning
which there may be honest differences of
opinion.
One point, however, seems to have
been quite generally overlooked, and that
is the effect such laws, especially if car.
ried to extremes, would have ON older
workers, whose plight is already a matter
of deep concern. The establishment of
higher wages and shorter hours by law
would certainly place workers As years of
age and over at an even greater dis
advantage than that which they are under
now.
1t is an unfortunate fact that many
employers set an age limit when employ
ing additional workers. There is little use
in arguing that such discrimination is
wrong If one employer, for example,
should employ force composed prin-
cipally of old men, he could not compete
with another employer whose force was
composed of younger and more active men
obtained at the same wage.
A law might possibly compel an en-
ployer to retain older men already on his
payroll, in some cases, but it could not pre-
vent his reducing his force and laying off
the older or less efficient men first. When
a force was to be increased an employer
could hardly be forced to employ older
men if younger ones were available
Many of our most intelligent labor
leaders understand these facts, and are
not in favor of rigidIy establishing hours
and wages by law. They believe a free
exercise of the right of collective bargain
ing, without government interference, to
be preferable to rigid regulation through
legislative action.

Since warnings were issued rel
ative to parking which interferes
with the operations of the street
sweeper, the city court has ham
died three cases which were
brought before it in the cases of
cars left parked on paved streets.
One OF the offenders was fined,
two other sentences were sus-
pended. A naval officer who
knew of the law but said he for
got it, pleaded guilty and paid the
fine. Another service man, who
has been absent from the city had
not learned of the new law. The
third was an immigration official
on duty, who had left his car to
get a cup of coffee. Municipal
Judge Albury states that the OBJ
ject of the parking ordinance is
to keep the street cleared in or
der that the mechanical sweeper
can be operated without him
drance and efficiently. When the
owner o. the car is near and
moves it promptly, the spirit of
the law has not been violated, he
believes. An officer will accom-
pany the machine at regular in
tervals from now on and will tag
all illegally parked cars.

[e told of the man who picked pass
out of the air and raced across the

ent end runs and spinner plays or
hich the ball carriers gathered
rdage for their teams.
But there was little said about
ose stalwart men in the line who
ened holes through which the back
I'D men raced for their spectacular
ms. There was little mention of the
prk of blocking backs who formed
hlls of interference for the ball car
RS. There was scant reference to
defensive work of the team
hich offered such a thrilling and
ectacular performance for the en-
rtainment of spectators.
Blu we have long observed that the
sreatest backfield runner over known
|.n the sport could never get far be-
|yond the scrimmage line if it weren It
for the work of ten other men on the
team. We have been forced to realize
by watching many teams in action
that team play is what counts, that
the center, the guards, and the tack
les are mighty important in football,
but alas they rarely get any credit
for what they do except from a few
close observers of the game who arc
familiar with it's intricacy.
And what's true in football is true
in many other things as well. It's
not the fault of the radio announcer
or the news writer that the man who
farries the ball gets most Of the ap-
lause and approval. It's almost i'm
ossible TO single other individuals
ut and give them special recognition
or what they have DONE Neither is
lit possible to give individual credit
to every person who assists in a
community enterprise for example. It
is just in the nature of things that
the chairman of committees and the
leader Of the program appear most
prominently when public recognition
of an accomplishment is extended.
1t is we'll to consider, however, the
way that publicity and recognition
just naturally go to the few spectac-
ular players and extend a word Of
lappreciation to all the centers and
guards and tackles in this world who
often do more than their part with
little hope or chance of receiving pub
lie acclaim.

announcer telling play by play the
story of particularly colorful foot
ball game. 1t was thrilling and eS-

cluded that a football team consists
only of few fast backs, and a
couple of nimble ends.
