consecutive year.
In retaining his laurels, Clarke
became the first bowler to win the
distinction three years in a row.
1t was Jack White, Connecticut's
most colorful duckpinner, who
gave the Washington bowler a
close battle for the choicest of all
bowling titles. In 514 games
Clarke averaged 1851 with the
New Haven veteran mauling the
naples for 1862 fer 416. The
greater amount of games gave
Clarke his advantage.
Clarke, incidentally, was recently
named Washington's No. / bowler
for the fourth straight year.
OTHERS NAMED
Three other Washington pin
men were named in the first rank

fifth place, Perce Wolfe, ninth,

A FREQUENT PROTEST
Further, the wage-hour bill threat
ems to deprive the South of its hole
card in bidding for Industrial devel-
opment. The South has cheap labor.
Because of that, it is successfully
inducing such industries as spinning
to move down there from the East.
The wage-hour bill is designed Ill
timately to compel all parts Of the
COMMUNICATING the South - to
reach a certain wage level for the
unskilled we'll above prevailing
Southern wages. New England, try
ing to protect its own spinning in
dustry, is all for that.
Southern statesmen often have
protested that the North wants
the Southern states to exist as COL
onies rather than as states SO they
will supply the north with cheap raw
materials and accept Northern man
ufacturers in return.
Likely enough, some here think,
that is the frame of mind in which
they will view the Aiken proposal.

"A WORD OF THOUGHT"

Washington, D. C.-Some of the
questions which now provide the
WORLD with "WORLD OF
THOUGHT":
How long will Hitler continue his
manical and unprecedented cruelties
upon German Minorities?
When will japanese monopolies
stop grabbing markets from Ameri-

When will the truth be told about
the murderous Spanish conflict?
Who will deny that our present natl
onal defense program is not designed
for a showdown on foreign policy
which will likely lead this country into
another war?

(2) An employer works his en-
ploye as hours at an hourly rate con-
siderably above the 25-cent minimum.
After October oath, he continues the
48-hour week but announces re-
ductions in the hourly rate to such an
amount (still above the statutory
minimum) which, figured at the lower
rate for 44 hours and at time and one
half for the 4 excess hours, will main
tain the employees weekly earnings ex-
actly as they were prior to October
"a. Such a reduction in the hourly
rate is, of course, violation of Sec
tion Is.
In commenting on the above exam
pie, the General Counsel of the Wage
and Hour Division refrain from Civ
ing definite Interpretation Of Section
Is as applied to such a case. He
pointed out, however, (a) that sec
tion of an Act of Congress cannot be
taken to be meaningless, and CD that
"the attempt Of the employer, in ne
gotiations with his employees in ref
erence to this proposed reduction in
the rate of pay, to Justify the reduc-
ton in the hourly rate by reference
to the overtime provisions of Section
| 7 as the excuse for resorting to this
device, might be considered a vio-
lation Of Section IS.
The next two examples of the ap-
plication of Section Is are also taken
from the interpretations of the Gen
eral Counsel of the Wage and Hour
Division as good illustrations Of pos
sible violations Of Section IS.
(3) can employer pays 50 cents an
hours. In anticipation of an expected
rush of 2 or 3 weeks, during which the
obligation to pay time and one-half
overtime would accrue, he announced
a reduction of the hourly rate, which
he later restores after the rush has
receded to the normal 44-hour- week.
Such subterfuge would seem to be
clearly unavaihng; the regular rate of
pay would be the customary rate of
so cents an hour, rather than the pur-
ported reduced rate announced for the
weeks Of overtime employment in an
obvious effort to circumvent the pro-
visions Of Section 7.
(4) "An employer pays so cents an
hour for customary workWeek of Al
hours. He announces that he is re-
ducing the hourly rate to 25 cents an
hour, but he promises to pay each en-
ploye not less than the amount paid
prior to October 24th. This subter-
fuge would be equally unavailing;
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-22

to work 46 hours in any one week you
40 hours, plus So for the four hours
worked up to the IA maximum at
straight time, and $1.5O for the over
time hours in excess of the maximum
at time and one-half. In other words,
if your straight weekly wage for 40
hours is $40 and no overtime rate is
required by agreement you should re-
ceive $23.50 for 46-hour week.
In the above example, it is assumed
that no overtime rate is required by
union agreement or otherwise. If,
however, the worker in question is
covered by a union agreement which
calls for time and one-half rate for all
work in excess of 40 hours, then the
employer must pay time and one-half
for all hours worked in excess of 40
per week. If the union agreement re-
quires the payment of time and one
third for all hours in excess of 40
then straight time is paid up to 40,
time and one-third from 40 to A, and
time and one-half for all work in ex-
cess of Al hours per week.
1t is important to keep clearly in
mind the overtime requirements of
the law in the case of workers en-
ployed on weekly wage or salary
whose hours are in excess of Al. If,
for example, you are employed by the
week at $33 per week and your regu-
lar hours of work are 4S per week,
your overtime rate should be figured
as follows: The $33 weekly rate is
your straight wage or salary which
you receive for regular work but not
for overtime work. Therefore to de-
termine your regular hourly rate, you
divide your total weekly pay by ID
the maximum number Of hours of
regular work permitted in the Act. In
the present example you divide $33 by
A so that your regular hourly rate
is rs cents per hour. If your en-
ployer continues to keep you on the
4S-hour week, you should receive
overtime pay for the last four hours
which represent your overtime work.
In our example, your overtime rate
will be $1.12l2 per hour and your
weekly compensation will amount to
S33 for Al hours, $3.50 for the four
overtime hours-a total of $3.50 for
a week Of 4S hours.
1t may be that your employer will
prefer to reduce your hours to Al per
week. lnasmuch as you are paid on
a straight weekly wage or salary and
inasmuch as the Act states that no
provision of the Act can justify an en-
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-22

ployer in reducing wages, the en-
ployer will have to continue paying
you S33 for 44-hour week in order
to comply with the law.
Application of Section 18
In many establishments covered by
the Act a workweek of more than Al
hours prevailed when the maximum
hour provision went into effect on Oc-
tober oath. Many questions have
arisen in connection with the resulting
readjustments of the hours of work.
Undoubtedly the most pressing among
these is the Interpretation Of Section
1S of the Act which states that: "No
provision of this Act shall justify any
employer in reducing a wage paid by
him which is in excess of the applic-
able minimum wage under this Act. "
We shall discuss several examples
used by the Administrator in inter
preting the law.
G) An employer prior to October
Oath pays his employees so cents an
hour for the 44l&6ar week custom
arily worked by his employees. On
October Oath, the employer reduces
the hours to "A without changing the
hourly rate. This means that the
worker who used to get S24 a week
for week Of as hours is now getting
$22 week for a week of Al hours.
The General Counsel of the Wage
and Hour Division has expressed the
opinion that such reduction in the
weekly wage is not violation of the
statute. According to the General
Counsel, Congress intended to make
it economically disadvantageous for
an employer to work his employees ex-
cessive hours. If an employer elm
mates the excessive hours, he is under
no statutory obligation to increase his
total wage bill by increasing the hour
ly rate
We agree with the General Coun-
sci of the Wage and Hour Division
that when the employe in question is
paid on the hourly basis there is no
violation in such adjustment Of the
weekly rate. In many such cases it

through organization of employees in

phasize that in all cases in which the
employees are paid on a weekly basis
any reduction in the weekly pay re-
sulting from such shortening of hours
does constitute clear violation of the

Donnelly, Secretary-Treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, last
week appeared before special COM
mittee studying the unemployment
and relief problem, and assured the
committee of the Federations aid in
reaching solution.
Secretary Donnelly pointed out to
the committee that the Federation's s

ate legislation providing for relief of
those unemployed because of techno-
logical changes in production, labor
saving machinery, physical handicaps
or superannuation, and recognition of
the permanent relief problem in Ohio
for those reasons.

Young girls are particularly suscep.

Consumer Notes
Issued Weekly by Consumers
Counsel Division, A. A. A.
Washington, D. c.

Take Care When You Buy Toys
"Mix a little sense with your SEN
timent if you want your oy-buying
to be a success" advises the CON-
SUMERS GUIDE, publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division of the
AAA.
Here are buying rules set down by
the GUIDE for grownups who aren't
sure how to measure childhood prefer
ences:
First, toys should recognize age
differences. A 10-year-old will be
bored with 2-year-old's toy and a
2-year-old might very well develop a
sense of Illustration if confronted with
a 10year-old's toy.
Second, children should be en-
couraged by their toys to do things,
not to watch them. While young they
should be encouraged to exercise their
ingenuity, to develop a sense Of
workmanship, to get the satisfaction
which working and accomplishing
give. BY doing things, too, a child
may at play develop particular abili-
ties or talents.
"Third-and very important-toys
should be able to stand wear and tear.
And, Of course, they should be safe,
constructed so as not to offer danger
of injury through sharp edges or pro-
truding nails
Fourth, don't give a child too many
toys. Spread your toygiving through
out the year and don't bewilder the
child with his own wealth on Christ
mas morning. Too great variety of
playthings distracts a child Where
toys accumulate, child experts suggest
that most of them be stored away to
be brought out again as used toys lose
their appeal.
"Toys that have fallen into disfavor
should be stored away, too, to be
brought out some day when the child
is bored and eager for the attractive
ness of an unfamiliaNtoy."
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-22
How To Store Nut-Meats

All you need to insure a supply of
nut meats through the winter and
summer is the family wash boiler and
few glass fruit jars.
Department of Agriculture scien-
fists have developed a top-notch
method for preserving, nut-meats."
"Put freshly cracked nut meats into
glass fruit jars. Adjust, but do not
tighten the glass lids and rubbers.
Place the jars in an ordinary clothes
boiler, or big kettle with a wooden
rack on the bottom.
Put in about inches of water,
but be sure the water does not cover
the jars and that the lid of the boiler
is on tight. Let the water boil for Is
or 20 minutes, remove the jars rapidly,
and tighten the tops as quickly as
possible.
"Stored in the dark at ordinary
room temperature, nut meats so pro-
cessed will keep fresh through the
summer if the jar lids are not removed
until you're ready to eat the nuts"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-22

While more women than men are
victims of tuberculosis up to so years
of age, the toll among men 40 to 65
years of age is approximately twice
that among women of the same age.
Medical authorities emphasize the i'm
portance of parents being free from
tuberculosis in order to reduce the DAN
ger of injecting their children. The
anti-tuberculosis movement receives its
main support from Christmas Seals.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-22

Babies under one year are safer today
from tuberculosis than was the case in
1928. Ten years ago, 1900 infants less
than one year old died of tuberculosis
in this country, while in recent years
the annual toll has been go. The dis
ease is not inherited, but young children
are liable to be innocent victims if they
are exposed to persons who have active
tuberculosis. Christmas Seals are en-
abling parents to learn more about
tuberculosis. thereby protecting their
children.

Keeping Mayonnaise Fresh

Mayonnaise will soon go rancid if
you leave it exposed to the air for
any length of time
keep the cover on the jar and only
take from the container the amount
you intend to use if you want to pre-
serve the sweetness Of the salad
dressing
"Rancidity is due to the oxidation of
the oil in the dressing," says the
GUIDE. "You have probably noticed
the film that forms on bowl of may
onnaise that stands for some time.
That film is the oxidized oil that makes
for rancidity. Adding such mayonnaise
to an unspoiled product hastens the
spoilage of the whole batch.
Longtime sweetness of mayon-
naise depends primarily on the quality
of its ingredients, but to preserve the
sweetness remember not to leave the
dressing uncovered"
