now formally befor the Administrator.
Public hearings on the hosiery and
textile recommendations were held in
June But as this was written no
wage orders had yet been issued.
However, it is estimated that if
wage orders are issued carrying all
the recommended minima into effect,
237,500 workers in these industries
will receive wage increases up to the
minima, or more workers than there
are people living in Columbus. In ad-
dition, some workers now above those
suggested minima would receive in
creases in order to preserve the GUS
tomary differentials between the skill
ed and the unskilled, or the skilled and
the semi-skilled.
The work of the Industry Commit
tees is of tremendous importance to
all workers, but especially to organ
lied labor. Labor has an equal voice
with employers and public representa-
tives in arriving at the recommended
tions, and organized labor has its OPP
portunity, of course, to present its
side of the argument before the indus
try committees and also at the open
hearings before the Administrator.

Debates on the issue indicated the
delegates were divided along strict
lines, the Independents supporting
President Bakers neutrality program,
and the Progressives, led by First Vice
President Francis G. Barrett of New
York City and Secretary-Treasurer
Woodruff Randolph of Chicago, con-
tending for the substitute, or "status
quo," proposal.
Another proposal made by Major
George l.. Berry President of the
Pressmen's Union, was that the five
allied Printing Trades Unions, of
which the Pressmen's Union is one,
and all of which are now affiliated
with the A. F. of L., be consolidated
into one independent labor faction.
Berry advocated organization of the
proposed unions along lines similar to
the A. F. of l.. setup.
Berry estimated that about 125,C0O
members of the printing trades unions
would make up the membership.
The executive council of the A. F.

expulsion unless it contributed to the

Sebring, O.-Local Union No. 50
met in regular session, Monday,
August 21, with Vice President Walk
er in the chair. President Jordan was
absent due to the fact he is working
at the potter's display at the Worlds
Fair.
A committee from Local Union No.
II, East Liverpool was present and
gave some very interesting inforn1a-
tion concerning the Withdrawing stu
alton. Everyone was pleased to have
this committee present, as the spokes-
man gave very nice talk and brought
out some points we believe will be of
great benefit to the kilndrawers. From
the trend of the discussion, it is plain
to be seen that all agreed there should
be something done to establish uni
form wage for kilndrawers. The local
voted unanimously to give all the sup
port possible in gaining this end.
In compliance with the new order
of business there has been a commit
tee appointed to further the sale of
American-made union label products.
We hope their efforts will be success
full, especially in Alliance where the
merchants seemingly have forgotten
their promises to cooperate.
We wish to warn the members to
be sdoubly cautious when shopping in

This is the fifth of a series of six
articles explaining the Fair Labor
Standards Act, prepared for the Pot
ters Herald by the Wage and Hour
Division, Information Branch Of the
United States Department Of Labor.
When Congress decided that indus
tries in interstate commerce, or pro-
ducing goods for interstate commerce,
should pay their workers not less than
40 cents an hour after 1915, it pro-
vided a way by which certain indus
tries could reach the Accent level in
advance of that date, or could reach
40 cents by gradual steps, according to
conditions in the individual industry.
These are the steps necessary in
raising the minimum wage level in
dustry by industry:
l. The Administrator is to appoint
an Industry Committee for each in
dustry. Each committee shall consist
of equal numbers of representatives
of the public, of employees in the in
dustry, and of employer in the indus
try. Each committee shall be furnish
ed with legal counsel, economic ad-
visors, and clerical and stenographic
assistance by the Administrator.
2. The committee shall make a study
of the industry to embrace such fac
tors as production costs, labor costs,
transportation costs, competitive con-
ditions, costs of living, and the wages
paid in the industry in accordance with
union labor contracts: 4
:. 3. AfterTthis studytof the industry
the committee shall recommend a
minimum wage for the industry. The
recommended minimum shall be such
as not to curtail employment in the
industry and not to give any group Of
employers in the industry an advan-
tage over their competitors.
4. When the recommendation is re-
ceived by the Administrator he must
hold public hearings. He also must
consider all the factors that have been
considered by the committee.
s. After the hearings the admins
traitor may do one of three things:
(a) He may issue wage order, put
ting the recommended minimum into
effect with the force of law, (b) he
may send it back to the committee for
further consideration, or (c) he may
appoint another committee to study
the industry and bring in fresh rec
ommendation. He may not, in any
event, issue a wage order that has not
been specifically recommended by an
industry committee.
Seven Industry Committees had
been appointed up to June l. They are
for cotton, silk and rayon textiles,
wooden textiles, wearing apparel,
hosiery, shoes, hats, and millinery.
Five of the committees have agreed
upon wage recommendations. They
are: for textiles, 32l2 cents an hour;
for woolens, 36 cents; for hosiery, 40
cents for full-fashioned and 32l2 cents
for seamless; for millinery 40 cents,
and from 32 l2 to 40 cents for work
on different kinds of wearing apparel.

at the sessions again and listen to
their advice and counsel on some of
the problems facing US.
We are still striving to make the
local a one hundred per cent organ
ization and to get all delinquent and
suspended members back into the fold,
but we are facing many problems in
doing that particular job, as was
evidenced by the report of the shop
steward at the last meeting. The
steward reported he had interviewed
thirteen delinquent members and each
legation, but the financial secretary re-
ported that out of a total of $500
owed, he had collected only $500.
Since each delinquent was warned of
what might happen if he persisted in
staying delinquent he can have no ex-
cuse if the worst happens.
Withdrawal cards were received
from Dorsey Singleton, Charles Wal

LITTLE THINGS
LUCIA MALLORY

When l think of the steady stream
of children passing my desk here in
the library day by day, it does not
seem strange that l, though l have
never been a mother should often be
consulted by my friends about the be-
havior problems Of their children. Yet
it took special thought and observation
to find an answer to Gladys Curran's
request for help in curing her two
and-a- half year-old Shirley of being a
runaway. Il
"Do come over soon, Lucia" Gladys
entreated, land see if you can tell me
why Shirley keeps running away all
the time. We've done everything we
can think of to make home attractive
to her. We've turned the glassed-in

"I'll come as soon as l can and do

friends face. '..Es

now an equally successful mother
"Come early" Nancy had urged, $50
you can see the baby before she goes

l hurried along the street, antici-
pating a pleasant half hour with Baby
Joan--a lovely, unspoiled child, though
she is the only girl in a family boast
ing several sturdy boys.
Her smiling little face was watch
ing for me from the front window For
moment l wondered how she could
be tall enough to reach that window.

standing on a little box her mother
had placed for her.
"Joan likes to watch for her daddy
and the boys" Nancy explained, $50 l

nap she plays here until time for them
to come home"
From her box in the corner, Joan
picked up a small knitted doll and car
ried it to me in motherly fashion.
"That's Baby Bets" Nancy told me.
"Joan likes Bets better than any of
her other dolls. Mother gave her a
lovely big doll for her birthday, but
she doesn't care much about it yet.
She'll enjoy a big doll when she's a
little bigger herself"
Joan put her dolly into buggy. 1t
was just the right height for the little
mother to push around the room. l
noticed then that all of her toys were
small enough to be manipulated easily
by her baby hands. Could that be a
clue to Gladys trouble? Were Shir-
ley's toys too big for her?

next day.

we are sorry, but find it impossible to
grant your request. Under the Inter
state Benefit Payment Plan it has been
ruled that a person living in one state
and committing to work in an adjacent
state should report for benefits in the
state where he worked. Several
reasons have been given by the Com
mittee on Interstate Benefit Payment
Plan for the requiring of commuters
to report to the state in which they
earned wages. Following are the
reasons:
1.-The Interstate Benefit Payment
Plan was not designed to cover this
type of claimant.
AT present there is no adequate
interstate clearance of work registra-
tions, so that a commuter would have
no actual work registration in the
state where he ordinarily seeks work.
3.-Workers who are honestly seek
ing jobs will look for them where work
is, and consequently may be expected
to file claims while looking for work.
4.-The cost of processing interstate
claims is greater than that of pro-
cessing intrastate claims.
5. 1t takes longer to process inter-
state claims than intrastate claims.

The mother looked around her in
amazement-at the playthings and
then at Shirley. "Why, Lucia, believe
you're right!-In getting durable toys

Are Americans irresponsible spendthrifts?

three and half billion dollars, which is more than
the total cost of government in 1929. notwithstand-
ing and heavy taxation that has been imposed since
then. By July l. 1940 the President estimates that the

To you, perhaps, a grapefruit Is
only an unpredictable member of
the citrSs family Nhich, when
used as an alternate for prunes as
a priming device for breakfast
appetites, is sometimes bitter and
often squirts juice in the eyes of

But in the House Agriculture
Committee they have found that
the pal-yellow native of tropical
climes has an even more irritating
propensity. 1t has cotton under
their skin. Two whole days have
been taken up with the discussion
of the problem of marketing the
California-Arizona citrus crop.
The nations citrus-producing area
is divided into three main parts;
Florida, Texas and California. Ari-
zona's citrus, as far as marketing
agreements are concerned, is in
cluded in the California area.
When the AAA was set up to
handle cooperative marketing, the
western citrus area was one of the
first to produce a workable plan.
1t has been used almost without
change since that time. This plan
