Questions on Second Phase
Of Wage Law Answered
Pay Of 30 Cents an Hour for 42-Hour
Week Goes in Effect Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The second phase of the wage
hour law. effective tomorrow, in
creases the minimum wage and
shortens the maximum work week
for workers in interstate industries
Some pertinent aspects of the
changes are Illustrated by these
questions and answers:
@. What is the wage-hOur law?
A. It is a Federal statute which
regulates certain labor standards in
industries doing business in inter-
state commerce by requiring pay
ment of a minimum wage and time
and a half pay for work done in
excess of a maximum work week.
@. What change in these labor
standards does the act require at
this time?
A Effective October "a, all en-
ployers subject to the act are re-
quired to pay an hourly wage of
at least 80 cents. instead of "a cents,
for a maximum work week of AZ
hours, instead of A hours, with time
and half for overtime. The act
provides for certain exemptions
from the wage requirement, as in
the cases of learners or handicapped
workers.
$4,000 Workers Affected.
@. How many workers will be
affected by the change?
A. Government statisticians esti-
mate that 100000 workers who have
been getting less than 80 cents an
hour will receive higher pay, and
that the work week will be short
ened for 2,3835OO workers unless
they are given overtime pay for work
in excess of AZ hours.
@. How much will workers pay
envelopes be increased?
A. Workers receiving only the
minimum pay for a maximum work
week will have their pay increased
Evening star., 1939-10-23

from $l1 to sl26o plus any over
time which they earn.
Q. Must employees now receiving
50 cents an hour be given wage in
crease to maintain the dif1erential
between their pay and the wages of
the 25-cents-an-hour employees who
are being moved up to 80 cents?
A. No. The law does not require
an employer to maintain or adjust
such differentials. It merely estab-
fishes certain minimum wage stand
ards below which he cannot go with
out incurring penalties.
Overtime for Piece Workers.
Q. Are piece workers entitled to
overtime pay under the 30-cent- an
hour minimum, as they were under
the 25-cent minimum?
A. Yes. The law requires an en-
ployer to pay piece-rate workers the
statutory minimum wage and over
time pay figured on the basis of one
and half times the workers COM
puted hourly average.
q. Does the change from A to AZ
hours a week affect the exemption
granted seasonal industries?
A. No. The shorter work week
has no effect on seasonal industries
given authority to work employees as
much as IL hours day and Sc hours
week for a maximum period of IA
weeks a year.

couldnae hold up the printing O the paper

the Gazette has never been late on Friday
mornings for forty years." took a deep
breath and risked it: But if got an idea

with envy on Friday morning! When the
proofs came through added the statement
that the waterworks scheme had been car
ried with acclamation. there being only one
voice of protest thought that touch had
a smack of reality about it, for Alec Campbell
was bound to grumble. He always did.
The meeting that night in the Town Hall
was one of the most exciting I'd ever attended
- exciting for myself anyway! The place was
packed to the doors. l saw Alec Campbell
sitting in the front row, fringe of white
whisker below his stubborn chin, and knew
was safe. Then l caught sight of Molly
Kennedy - the prettiest girl in the hall. She
smiled. The new waterworks would make lot

the hall. The new
waterworks were as
good as completed!The
Provost rose, held up
his hand.

has any objection to raise. You have heard
the town council. But we want to hear all

waterworks has now an opportunity to speak.
There was silence. The meeting was solid.

report But when l looked at the mans face

the scheme as anybody! began to feel 'un-
comfortable. had counted on Alec Campbell
speaking. In Fridays Gazette there was the
tell-tale sentence about ''one voice of protest.
Why didn't somebody get up? Just one feeble
protest! Was there to be none at all? Was the
Gazette to come out with that glaring false
statement? The suspense was horrible.
Then nobody has any objection?" The
Provost's voice was triumphant. Somebody
started to clap, the applause spread - and
Just in the nick of time, l scrambled to my
feet. Rather than let my report contain lie,
decided to raise voice of protest myself.
The Provost looked astounded. l spoke
about the cost to the taxpayers, and some
body from the back of the hall told me to
hold my tongue. This angered me. replied
that the Provost had asked for objections,
and intended to make mine. Someone else
shouted that the young man ought to be given
hearing. This went to my head. There was
rumpus, but squashed it. Heavens, didn't
know could speak so we'll! For twenty-five
minutes addressed that meeting. A voice in
the wilderness. 1t gave me thrill like nothing
else in the world.
And then sat down. The roof shook with
cheers - can ever forget? The proposal for
the new waterworks was rejected by large
majority.
And that's why had to leave the old
home town in hmry-thats what brought
me to the States, in cargo boat from
Glasgow - But it's time was on the plat
form, gentlemen.
What's that? Wait minute. You've got
me wrong = l haven't been talking for publ
cation. This was friendly chat Not word
