4O-HOUR WEEK
EFFECTIVE TODAY
Federal Wage, Hour Act
Not to Interfere With
Defense Plans

washington, Oct. 24-(UP)-The
40-hour week imposed by the Fed
eral Wage and Hour Act became
effective today with assurances
from Wage-Hour Administrator
Philip B. Fleming that it will not
interfere with the production of de-
tense materials.
In a radio address last night en-
titled Overtime Begins at 40" he
said that despite repeated requests
where manufacturers had difficulty
in getting labor to fill defense con-
tracts he had received only four
complaints.
"The availability of unemployed
millions and of the quick training
program" he said. Makes the pres
emit effort to modify the wage and
hour act premature"
He promised to consider 1t his
moral and statutory duty" to rec
ommend modification Of the act If
in the future should actually i'm
pede the defense program"
Fleming charged that a good deal
of the agitation for lengthening the
work week at this time is really in
spired by a desire to cut labor costs
and not by a desire to increase pro-
duction.
"And in all fairness" he added, II
must observe that so far as I can
find out it is not coming from man.
ufacturers themselves but principal
" from newspaper commentators
and other armchair strategists."
Today is the second anniversary
of enactment of the Wage-Houi
law. For all those in interstate
commerce covered by the law, the
statutory work week beginning al
midnight last became 40 hours. The
minimum legal wage varies consid-
erably for different industries at the
present time, but will reach 40 cent:
an hour for all affected industrie:
by 1945. All time Worked over Al
hours, except for those exempted
from the provisions, must be piae
for at the rate of time and one-half

An even worse depression than
that experienced In the early SOS
win follow the present prosperity
wave unless the Socialist party's
platform Is put into effect, Mayor
Jasper McLevy Of Bridgeport, So
sialist candidate for governor, de-
clared at a rally ct the Y. M. G. A.
last night. The present prosperity IS
on false foundation Of war orders
and will collapse. he asserted.
Mayor McLevy, who amazed the
political forecasters when he polled
Ice, 900 votes two years ago, attacked
the Republican state administration,
declaring Governor Baldwin's claims
Of a balanced state budget to be
false and calling the state merit
system a farce.
List Of Speakers
Other speakers were Attorney
Frederic @. Smedley, Louis Krahl
of Meriden, candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor; and John w. Ring,
candidate for congress. Other can
didates introduced were Morris
Fem, state senatorial candidate in
the 18th district: Franklin Bar
ringer, Socialist Republican candi-
date for the senate in the 18th dis
trict: Nellie Mellick and Samuel
Wolozin, candidates for representa-
tive.
Said Mayor McLevys
1--WE can't continue building polit-
ical machines whose only aim is to
provide Jobs for their members.
The present prosperity is based
on destruction of human life
across the sea. What's keeping
the wheels of industry humming
is not construction Of things to
use in everyday life but engines
of destruction. We must think OF
what will happen when this Is over.
The prosperity resulting from war
orders of the last war led to the phi
losophy Of letting posterity pay the
bills. As result, every city in the
country launched enormous bond
issues for alleged improvement
which will crush future generations
under a load of debt. Yet, after 10
wears we haven't solved the prob
lem of unemployment, and the debt
has mounted in all those years
meaning more burdens on the future
generations.
Poor Must Pay
"Now, in addition, we have the
costs Of rearmament. What will
happen when future generations
have to pay for this? The income
tax, originally, was to apply only
to the rich, but the limits have
been dropped year by year so that
now even the poorest must pay.
Governor Baldwin claims he has
brought prosperity to the state, YET
in his own town of Stratford they
had to issue $150,0O0 in welfare
bonds last week.
'1This shows how hollow all this
wartime prosperity Is. Now is the
time to set our house in order SO
