WAGE-H0UR BILL
MAY ADD 100000
Shorter Hours Are Seen for
1,75O,0O0 More Than
Congress Anticipated.
Nv the Associated Press,

II the Associated Press.
Labor Department oficials estimat-
ed today that as many as 100000
workers--about l,750,o00 more than
Congress counted on-might obtain
shorter working hours ultimately un-
der the new wage-hour law.
Estimates as to the maximum num-
her who would receive wage increases
BY the time the laws provision for a
general 40-cent-an-hour minimum
t&kes effect-in l945-remained un-
changed at upward Of 100000.
sOdcials said the upward revision
Of the number to receive shorter hours
resulted largely from two factors:
l. A narrowing Of the Interpretation
Of seasonal industries which are ex-
empt from the laws regulation Of
hours.
2. Indications that many employers,
In a so-called twilight zone" Of un-
certainty as to whether they were
subject to the law. would comply with
its provisions rather than risk the
penalties of violation, which include
fines Of double the difference between
the wages paid and the amount re-
quired by the act.
seasonal Exemption Defined
Regarding exemptions for sea
sonal' industries, officials said it was
clear Congress had intended such con-
cessions only for industries which
operate in particular seasons and not
for those which operate on q year
round basis but have employment
peaks in certain months. The truly
seasonal industries will be permitted
to work their employees in excess Of
the maximum work-week fixed by the
law without being required to pay
them time and one-haf for overtime.
The act, which becomes effective
October "a, requires generally that in
dustries in or affecting interstate COM
merce must pay not less than rs cents
an hour and work their employees not
more than a hours q week. The gen.
eral wage minimum will increase au-
tomatically to 80 cents at the end Of
the first year and to 40 cents at the
end OF seven years. The work-week
will decrease to ~ hours after the first
year and to 40 hours after two years
However, minimum wages higher than
IS cents an hour but not more than
40 cents may be fixed Immediately, In
a given industry upon recommended
ton of committee appointed to study
that industry.
Many inquiries are coming into the
department concerning the application
OF the new law.
Rufus Poole. first assistant solicitor,
said some Of the communications in
dicated disappointment on the part Of
workingmen. particularly agricultural
employees, that they will not benefit by
the law.
Some Of them want to know Why
did Roosevelt exempt us?' and We have
to tell them the Federal Government
has no power to regulate purely local
business" Mr.. Poole said.
He pointed out that the law gives
the administrator no authority to rule
that any industry or specific group Of
workers Is exempt, such decisions being
solely for the courts to make.
Representatives Of trade associations
and the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States are puzzled. therefore. as
TO how to answer inquiries from their
members as to whether they come
under the act.

Game of Woe,
w all Coaches
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

SAAs~N@@ ~A' D@AAs>A1AA
D ESSIMISM time is here. It's
that preseason mourning period
when football coaches pine over the
games they're going to drop and la
ment over the stars they've lost
from last years squad. From the
West to the East and back again it
is a tale of woe.
Out on the Pacific coast Stub Alli-
son, coach of the University of Cal
ifornia's Golden Bears, will tell you
with considerable justification that
the remnants of last years great
eleven will face stronger opposition
from at least three schools-Stan-
ford, Washington and Southern Cali
fornia
Graduation robbed the team of six
first-String men who were picked on
one or more All-American teams.
Among them were the mighty Sam
Chapman, now outfieIding for Con-
ME Mack's Philadelphia Athletics,
his cagy quarterback, John Meek
and inemen Bob Herwig, Ward
Stockton and Claude Evans. But Al
ison still has Vic Bottari at left half
and Dave Anderson at full, as well
as number of new luminaries who
promise to shine.
The Ely miner., 1938-09-08

twenty-five years ago every ma
jOr league club held it an absolute
necessity to have at least two star
catchers on the squad" Barrett
pointed out. "But today you can
count the number of first-class re-
ceivers on the fingers of one hand.
'As a matter of fact there are
only two or three outstanding catch
ers in active service at present-Bil
Dickey of the New York Yankees,
Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs
and Ernie lombard of the Cincin-
natl Reds"
Reason for the dearth of catching
material, according to Barrett, is
the fence-busting craze ushered in
by Babe Ruth and subsequent high
priced home run sluggers.
"About six years ago I made a
survey of this condition among
youngsters starting out in the class
D minor leagues" he said. 81 ad-
vised them to try their hand at
catching, but they scoffed at the
idea. They wanted to become home
run sluggers. They practiced bat
ting to the exclusion of practically
everything else and they refused to
put on mask and mitt.
"The result is that today the av-
erage big league scout covering the
minor leagues finds any number of
big-time prospects for all positions
except that of catcher. Yet major
league managers are crying for
good catcherS."
The Ely miner., 1938-09-08
Same Old Story

AS you move east it's much the
same story. At Nebraska Coach Biff
Jones will remind you that the
Huskers lost their entire frst-string
line with the exception of mighty
Charles Brock, center, as well as
Quarterback Johnny Howell and
Halfback Harris Andrews. But OBJ
servers agree that the squad this
year will be better balanced than
last year, with Bill Callihan, Jack
Dodd and Marvin Plock, speedy
backs, and Van Francis and Her
man Rohrig doing their stuff.
In their own Big Six circle the
Huskers rate as the team to beat.
Oklahoma, hard hit by graduations,
will present a heavy, fighting team,
Kansas is expected to be better and
Iowa State a threat in any game.
In the Big Ten of the Middle West,
Bernie Bierman, coach of the Uni
The Ely miner., 1938-09-08

versity of Minnesota, shakes his
head over the prospects and pre-
diets that the Gophers' reign will be
over for a spell. His pessimism is
generally accepted, for most foot
ball folks agree that Ohio State has
by far the best material in the
conference, if all the talent Francis
Schmidt now has lives up to expec-
tations.
Coaches around the conference
will be wary of the team Bo McMil-
lin, who was head coach of the col
lege boys in the All-Star game,
sends out for Indiana university. 1t
is admitted that McMillin hasn't a
corner on all the talent and he'll
point out how many men he has lost
and how few he has coming on.
But material or no material, the
man who beat Harvard almost sim
gIe-handed when he was down in
Centre college in Kentucky is a
smart coach and he'll show his op-
ponents plenty of skill in the con-
ference schedule. Purdue and North
western figure to be fairly tough,
with Michigan under its new coach,
Fritz Crisler, moving forward.
The sad story of losses by gradu-
alton is repeated at Notre Dame
when Elmer Layden is asked about
his teams prospects.
eve won't have a great team, +"
he says. 'It will probably kick
some games away through lack of
experience. Of one thing I'm sure,
however, it won't be because they
don't try"
Coaches in the East are a bit
chary about confiding their pros
poets, but Lou Little, coach at Co
lumbia, will tell you that he has
been devoting a lot of serious time
to exploring the possibilities of the
new football rules. He concludes
that the changes will produce live
lier formations and higher scores.
The changes, two in number, are as
follows: One moves the ball in Is
yards from the sideline, instead of
10 as in the past. The other permits
three unrestricted forward passes
over the goal line instead of one as
has been the custom hitherto. Little
believes that moving the ball in fur
ther will greatly help short side at
tacks near the side line. The other
change is likely to prove important
as stimulus to attack, he contends.
Gin the past" he says, "As soon
as a team threw one incomplete
pass over the line the defense
moved up in group. The men on
defense knew the offense wasn'i
likely to throw another pass at risk
of incompletion and loss of the ball
''This just about automatically
smothered the running attack, mas
much as it was directed at what
was virtually an eleven man line
It will be different this year. The
defense will have to stay back, fear
full of a second and even a thiro
pass and this is certain to sharper
the running attack, since it will re-

ton, Bob Klinger and Mace Brown,
pitchers and Johnny Rizzo, hard
hitting outfelder.
Other stars once with the Cards
are Bill Lee, pitching ace OF the
Chicago Cubs and Paul Derringer or
the Cincinnati Reds. One of the
home run leaders of the year in the
National league is Ival Goodman,
right fielder of Cincinnati. Goodman
once played with Cardinal minor
league 'tfarm."
Gabby Hartnett, being free to get
rid of any Cubs, is already figuring
on disposing of six before next
Spring. Of course, he will have to
get better men to replace them be-
fore he does any selling, which
isn't easy. He is going to be one OF
the most active gents on the
market when the trading starts at
the winter major league powwows.
Gabby knows he must have two
800 hitters i'm the outfield next year
and he says ne will have them.
That is real optimism, because such
players are hard to find. Gabby
hasn't announced yet who is to go.

Grab a Mask

IF YOU'RE an ambitious young
l ball player bent on breaking into
the major leagues, grab a mask and
mitt, pull on a chest-protector and
get behind the plate. There's
shortage of first-class catchers and
an abundance of opportunities for
youngsters who have promise.
That's the opinion of Charley Bar
