Andrews Clamps Down
On PdY Act Violdtors
One Hundred Inspectors Detailed to
Check Up on Many Complaints

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).-
Definite action to tighten enforcement
of the Fair Labor Standards Act Of
1888 were announced by Administrator
Elmer F. Andrews.
Declaring that his purpose was to
provide "fair and even handed admin
istration," Mr.. Andrews detailed 100
inspectors to check up on $500 charges
that employers had violated the meas
ure.
Meanwhile the Department Of Jus
tice announced that it was prepared
for the first criminal prosecution un-
der the act on the basis of complaints
filed against an unidentified shoe
manufacturer of Lawrence, Mass.
"The law has teeth in it, and we
are going to see that the teeth bite
when occasion requires, both for the
protection oT workers against con-
scienceless employers and of law abid-
ing employers against chiseling COM
petitors," Andrews said
Civil actions-the only kind filed
thus far-carry no penalties. But
conviction on criminal charges sub
jects employers to a fine which may
not exceed $4,000 for the first offense,
and a fine and Imprisonment up to six
months for subsequent convictions.
Although the law has been in effect
nearly four months, only five court
actions have been filed against al
legged yiolators.

Mennonites Exempted
From a. T. 1. Contract
Religious Objections Recognized in
Philadelphia Strike Settlement

Philadelphia, Pa. (AFLWNS).-An
unusual principle was promulgated
here when Local 463, Bakery and
Milk Wagon Drivers Union, affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor, excused three employees from
membership in its organization be-
cause of their religious scruples.
The union took this action in con-
nection with the closed shop contract
negotiated with the milk firm Of Mar
tin Century Farms, of Lansdale, Pa.
The contract which ended a Today
strike, affected three Mennonite en-
ployes of the company's Lansdale
plant. 1t stipulated:
"The employer and the union agree
that members of Mennonite or other
religious faith, whose religious beliefs
prohibit them from joining labor or
ganizations, may be employed and re-
tanned without becoming members Of
the union"
The contract, however, specifies a
closed shop for other workers.
Mennonites own to no authority out
side the Bible. Hence they feel they
should join no organization. Some
unions have an understanding they
need not join, even in a closed shop.
However, some do join, but avoid
union activities.
John Backhus, union business agent,
said the unions agreement is in line
with the United States Constitutions
guarantee of religious freedom.

Cleveland Labor Demands
Union Constructed Schools

Cleveland, O. (OLNS).-A fight to
the finish against any proposal that
the contemplated $4,500,OC0 school
building program be started without
100 per cent union labor has been de-
clared by officials Of the Cleveland
Federation Of Labor.
Thomas 4. Lenehan, Federation
secretary, in answer to recent attacks
on the Federaton's demands for en-
ployment of union mechanics on the
school projects, declared:
"Anytime labor goes out for any
program for allocating funds such as
the school building levy we will de-
mand the employment Of union men,"
Passage Of the school building levy
was due largely to the strong support
of the Cleveland Federation of Labor
membership.

INTERSTATE BARRIERS

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace recently warned
the States that they are courting Fed
eral intervention by raising interstate
barriers to free trade and called on
them to cooperate "to the end that
state lines may become broad high
ways of commerce, serving the general
welfare" He made the statement in
the forward of an exhaustive report
by The Bureau Of Agricultural Econ
omics on State-imposed Trade Bar
riers. Among trade restrictions cited
by the report were motor vehicle laws
and regulations, discriminatory in
spection fees, licenses and taxes, con-
fctng regulations on food grading,
labelling and packing laws, "and be-
wildering maze Of quarantlnes, em
bargoes and other impositions."

$1,0OO city tax on chain stores oper-
ating in Three Rivers, Quebec, which
resulted in the closing of their stores
by certain large chain store leaders,
has been rescinded, and on motion of

the levy. The bill, which eliminated
the low price chain store from the
city's merchandising field, was resent

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, ID. C. ULNS).-Labor
leaders Of America are pretty nearly
a unit in holding that the present is
no time to stop government spending.
The President takes the same stand
And now the Board Of the Federal Re-
serve Banking System joins this view.
In its March Bulletin, the Federal Re-
serve says:
"At the present time output Of in
dustrial products approximately cor
responds to the volume Of goods being
consumed by individuals and industry.

consumption arising out Of such
factors as FURTHER GROWTH

BUILDING, LARGER OUTLAWS
FOR PLANT AND EQUIPMENT,
AND GREATER PUBLIC EX-
PEND DITURES FOR CON
STRUCTION OR OTHER PUR-
POSES"
Very cautiously, and moderately
stated; but very plain. The Fedora!
Reserve Board doesn't want any cut
in public expenditures. 1t would well
come "greater public expenditure; for
construction or other purposes" just
as it welcomes residential building and
renovation of plants

James M. Mead in the Senate and
Robert G. Allen in the House have
introduced bill, authorizing the RFC
to insure loans by banks to small and
medium sized business. Not more than
80 per cent will be insured, not more
than 81 1,OCO,CCO to any enterprise. The
whole thing is modelled on the FILA
insurance of mortgages on homes.
There is every reason to believe that
this plan would spur business far more
than any favors to very big business.
Two men, Burt l.. Knowles, head of
the Associated General Contractors,
and Arthur Whiteside, president of
Dun and Bradstreet, declare that pass
age of this bill will bring at least 40,-
600 small businesses for loans. And
900 businesses each making per-
sonal boost of 40 men each would put
a big crimp in unemployment.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission is said to be preparing to put
on in the monopoly hearings instances
of the way small business is ham
pered by the overtopping size Of our
biggest banks. That might well push
the bill through Congress.

| A press agency interviewing Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave the following
paragraph on the Presidents views:
Meagre purchasing power, he said,
is felt all along the economic scale.
1t means, he added, that families can
not purchase sufficient shoes, paint,
| lumber, clothes and other necessities.
1t thus effects storeowners, profess
sional people and others whose income
! fails to expand because of lack of pur-
chasing power in the hands Of the gen
eral population.
AS a matter Of fact, the President
was talking Of the South as the ma
tion's No. l economic problem. But
the summary of his views fits so
closely the situation all over the coun-
try that the impulse to set it up as
general principles first and apply to
the South afterward is irresistible.
The South has larger proportion
of very poor people than any other
part Of the country. But while liter
ally millions are out of work, they
can be found everywhere. And the

persons jobs is to give three persons

A light plane shop looks like a

tubing is cut into sections for zoo

and color coated so workmen know
exactly where each piece fits in the

has Ferris wheel" where planes
move around while workmen spray

Mechanics, Office workers and
farmers are buying light planes.
That surprises the Government and
the manufacturer. They expected
purchases by those in the higher
money brackets.
Besides the Piper plane and the
"Aeronca," there are three other
well-known light planes in the field,
the Porter Field Turner, the Lus-
combe and the Taylorcraft. Roscoe

Mr.. Piper heads one of five Amer
lean factories which turn out light
planes selling for less than $4,000.
The cheaper models cost little more
than $1,000. This year Piper will
deliver almost 1000 of the things
to distributors and dealers.
That isn't many in a nation Of
10000, 900 people, but he has great
hopes for the future.
Talk of $4,000 Licensed.
So has the Civil Aeronautics
Authority, the governing body for
civil aviation. Neither the authority
nor the manufacturers will concede
saturation point for lightplane
sales, but they talk about licensing
some $4,000 planes In the next five
years.

fession, an oil man by inheritance

in 1927 the public had been hearing
about "foolproof" planes which
the accident record showed-were
not foolproof.
Another company, the Aeronauti-
cal Corp. of America at Cincinnati,
already had broken the ice with a
cheap machine, but the public was
in no mood to risk its neck in flying
contraptions.
It was not until 1898 that the
lightplane market really opened up.
People began buying those odd
looking putt-putts. Mr.. Piper
figures several things were respon-
sible for it, including a sudden Gov
ernment interest in private flying
and higher engine horsepowers,
which let pilots do something more
than cruise around an airport.
In eight years Mr.. Piper has sold
only 1000 planes. Now he began to
establish on-line production methods
and buy materials by the carload
That the factory has prospered
since then is evidenced by the out
put.
OF all the commercial planes pro-
duced in the United States more
than 10 per cent of them are light
planes. Piper last year turned out
half of those.
