duce the work week of their employees
to A hours under the wage-hour law,
Mr.. Brophy said, and he added that
they intended ito cut wages to make
up for the shorter week"
Technical LoophoIe."
The lowering of wages was con-
templated, the c. I. O. official said,
"in spite Of the clause in the act which
states that no employer shall be justi-
Ned in reducing wage paid by him
which is in excess of the applicable
minimum wages under this act"
Because the clause was not accom-
panied by any enforcement provision,
Mr.. Brophy said. the companies have
technical loophole" for making
the reduction.
He waDned unions that II the tele-
graph companies succeeded in their
effort it might we'll be the opening
wedge for other industries to take
similar action
In statement to the press an
nouncing his action. Mr. Brophy did
not mention the telegraph companies
by name.
A. F. Of L. Opens Campaign.
Meantime, the American Fedora
tion of Labor undertook a campaign
to educate all workers about provi-
sions OF the wage-hour law.
President William Green sent copies
OF pamphlet explaining the law to
central labor unions affiliated with
the federation and in an accompany
ing letter urged appointment OF local
wage-hour committees
These committees should dissem-
mate information about the act. he
said, not only to unions, but also to
unorganized workers.
The effectiveness of the new law
will depend on how we'll its enforce
ment is policed by organized labor"
