pretative bulletin No. IL, issued on
April 20, 1899, stated clearly that
dredge workers were not classified
as seamen, since seamen were held
to be those engaged in operation of
ships used mainly for transportation
purposes. The only reason why the
Smoot situation happens to come up
at this time is that only recently we
completed an investigation of a
complaint there.
Must Pay Time and a Half.
"The Wage and Hour Division does
not restrict the Smoot company
workers, or any other dredge work.
ers, to 42-hour week. The division
does specify that time and a half
must be paid for all work performed
in excess of AZ hours a week. This
overtime has been paid in many in
! stances. Recently in Nashville,
Tenn, the Cumberland River Sand
Co., engaged in work similar to that
of the Smoot concern, was forced by
court action to pay A employees
$4,000 in back overtime. In another
Tennessee case. the Central Sand a.
Gravel Co. lost a judgment totaling
more than $6,o0O."
Specific Ruling Made July 2.
A spokesman for the Smoot Co.
said, however, that the company
had sought specific ruling regard
ing their workers for some months
and that not until July 2, 1910, did
the Wage and Hour Division for
mally notify the company that its
dredge men could not be exempt
from the minimum hours law as
seamen.
While the 600 local members of
the International Union of Operat-
ing Engineers affected by the strike
have not contemplated any action
on their own behalf, according to
officials here, John Possehl, general
president of the international union,
| today announced that he had Or
dered all local unions to refrain
from strikes or work stoppage on
national defense projects until all
methods of peaceful adjustment of
disputes has been exhausted. The
union represents approximately 30
900 engineers in the United States
and Canada.
The District projects affected by
the strike include the Massachusetts
Avenue Bridge over Rock Greek
Park and the second half of the
Sousa Bridge over the Anacostia
River in the Southeast section. One
of the repaving projects halted is
that along Fourteenth street from
Florida avenue to Monroe street
NV. Other street jobs are in the
residential areas.
Much Work to Be Done.
Most keenly felt delay on the
Federal projects was at the Social
Security Building, scheduled to be
ready for occupancy on September
/, according to Public Buildings Ad-
ministration officials. To complete
the structure by that time, how
ever, materials and equipment cost
ing $4,0O0000 were to be installed

eight weeks Furniture has been

ordered, for example, for delivery on
certain days, and disruption of the
program will add to the cost as
well as delay the date of possible
occupancy.
"We could probably make up a
delay of only one or two days." an
official of the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration said today, "but if this
strike continues three days or more
everything is going to be in one
devil of a mess"

BUENOS AIRES, July 9.-Argen-
tina's celebration of the 124th ami
versary of her independence was
clouded today by the serious illness
of President Roberto M. Ortiz, who
has relinquished executive powers to
Vice President Ramon Castillo on
order of his physicians.
Tucuman, city in the interior,
where Congress in 1916 declared the
country's freedom from Spain, was
the scene of the principal celebra-
ton. Cabinet ministers and other
high officials were present.
In Buenos Aires, usually the scene
of brilliant ceremonies, the celebra-
ton was limited to a military re-
view.
Officers and sailors of the Argen-
tine Navy landed at Buenos Aires,

Moving Of Prisoners
Held Delaying Sending
OF Refugees Here
information Group Set
Up in Washington to
Coordinate Work

American groups aiding in activ-
ities to care for war refugee children
were told by a Government spokes-
man todpy that crowding of west
bound British shipping with enemy
aliens and prisoners of war is slow
ing efforts to move British children
in great numbers into American
homes.
The Government official pointed
out that American shipping is for
- hidden by the Neutrality Act from
entering British ports and that re-
, sponsibility for bringing the children
here rests entirely with the empire
agencies.
Formation of local Information
Committee for the Care of European
: Children was announced by the
Washington Council of Social Agen-
cies, through its executive secretary,
Mrs. w. A. Roberts.
The committee, organized at the
request of Eric H. Biddle, director
TO the United States Committee for
the Care of European Children, is
headed by Mrs. John Jay O'Connor
national president of the Travellers
Aid Society end member of the
Board of Directors of the council
as chairman. Capt. Rhoda Milliken
director of the Woman's Bureau of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, is vice chairman, and Mrs
Roberts, secretary. It's membership
includes representative from vari-
Gus welfare groups.
Entries Far Below Quota.
In discussing the refugee children
problem the Government spokesman
pointed out that our immigration
laws require that children coming
in under British quotas must be of
British birth or citizenship. with
specific arrangements made in ad-
vance for their reception into Amer
lean homes rather than into insti-
tutions.
1t was pointed out that the great
number of German Jewish, Belgian
Dutch, Polish and other refugee
children now in England, after fee
ing other war-torn lands, are not
eligible for entry here under the
British quota.
While a promotional committee
Is operating in New York to super
wise this program in this country
it is asserted here that notices Of
completed arrangements for indi-
vidual children have not approached
the quota maximum. BY our quota
system, about $1,000 British immi-
gants may come here each year, not
more than 10 per cent of whom may
be admitted monthly. If the num-
ber of children eligible for entry
should come close to the monthly
limit in any month, the administra-
ton probably would support legis-
lation relaxing this monthly re-
striction, it was said.
AS for the passport and visa ar
rangements for letting the children
in, it was explained here that a.

concludes arrangements for each
child's future home and so notifies
the State Department, the Ameri-
can Embassy in London is advised
by cable and every effort Is made
to speed clearance.
To Meet Friday.
The local committee will hold its
first meeting Friday. Meanwhile,
an Information and Clearance Bu-
reau was opened today by the coun-
Gil at its headquarters, 1101 M street
NV, stated by volunteers of the
council.
THE Council is glad to be of
service to the national committee.
AS the social planning agency for
Washington, we have the machinery
set up to assist in the formulation
of plans and the coordination of
the services of both private and pub
lie agencies" Mrs. Roberts said.
No definite statement can be made
at present as to the number OF
children to be received in Washing
ton, or as to the agencies which will
supervise their placement in foster
homes, Mrs. Roberts stated, adding
that policies and plans will be
worked out in accordance with sug-
gestions and requirements of the
national committee. Miss Kath-
crime Lenroot, director of the Chill
dren's Bureau, will assist the local
committee in an advisory capacity

State Game Commissioner Carl H.
Noting today said there was an in

men that the season be closed at

city of quail. Other sportsmen, it
was pointed out, have opposed the

The commission will consider all
game birds and animals classed as
upland game at the meeting Thurs
day, though the quail situation is
the primary concern. Scarcity of
quail has been reported from prac-
tically all sections of the State and
has been attributed to the severe

Declares Rule Makers
Taking Fun From Golf
With TechnicoIities
BY the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla. Dec. 11.-Slugger
Sam Snead today paused long enough
in his practice for the $4,000 Miami
Open Golf Tournament to record a
dissenting opinion in the matter Of
cluttering up the rule book.
They're taking all the fun out Of

The rule. in effect, reads:

1t all came about, Corcoran said,
because some of the boys complained
that unidentified other boys oc-
casionally became overeager in
brushing away such impedimenta as
feathers and fly-specks. Some, the
complaints charged, accidentally
dug miniature trenches from ball

1t isn't time yet to toss out the
lifeline for the hockey Eagles. The
boys are clicking all right, but just
now they need something to shock
them out of the idea that they are
by far the best in the Eastern ANA
teur Hockey League.
Riding along on the crest of win
ming streak that had stuck II win
ming games out of 13 on the ledger,
the fast-skating bunch OF Canadian
lads who cavort on the ice at River
side Stadium had been jolted out of
their complacency today. They can
be licked, as the Atlantic City Sea
Gulls proved last night at the sta
dium by a score of to 5. 1t was
the first licking on their home ice in
the 1940-41 season for the Eagles,
and they didn't like it.
Geared for Oriole Clash.
They didn't like it SO much that
without any question they'll tear
into the champion Baltimore Orioles
Friday night with all the uninhibited
characteristics of a runaway freight
train. Particularly inasmuch as the
Orioles, their most feared rivals, are
on their heels four points behind in
the initial third of the league season,
and that win from Baltimore, and
couple more over the week end
will sew up the Hershey Cup series.
They meet River Vale at River Vale
Saturday night, and clash with the
Rovers at Madison Square Garden
Sunday night. Life was getting to
be just one happy romp down the ice
for the Eagles until that rude shock
last night.
Every good team In any game has
an OF period. The Eagles had theirs
last night. They were bad in spots,
particularly in the many melees
around the enemy net.
Sensing a pepless night for the
Eagles, the Gulls piled it on, scor-
ing five goals in the second period
That was enough to sew up the
game. 1t also was the largest num-
Der of goals scored against the usual
ly air-tight Eagle defense in a sin
gle period this year. Their passing
was none too good, but when they
crossed the blue line they were
punchless. Lyle Porter. Gull goalie
had a very good night. He ma
neuvered to avert an Eagle counter
so many times his hips seemed swung
on hinges.
So the Eagles, instead Of leading
