Newspaper Guild
Opposes Relaxing
Of Wage-Hour Act
Several Other Unions Hit
New Definitions for
Executive Positions

Declaring all proposed new def
nitions for executives and admin
istrators were aimed to increase ex-
emptions from the Fair Labor
Standards Act, the American News
paper Guild today strongly opposed
such definitions in the newspaper
Industry.
The opposition Of the guild was
set forth in statement submitted
by Victor Pasche Of New York, A.
N. G. secretary-treasurer, at a wage
and hour hearing held to consider
proposed amendments to the def
milton of the terms executive, ad-
ministrative, professional and out

ployes in the publication, communi-
cation, public utility. TRANSFORMATION

Establishment OF new definitions
for executives and administrators
to determine exemptions under the
Wage and Hour Act would create q
'ttphbled' Industrial sitlYstibh and
would encourage litigation by en-
ployers, Sidney E. Cohn of New York
declared, in appearing before the
hearing as representative of the
American Communications Associa-
ton and several other labor groups
Says Employers Can't Agree.
None of the employers groups
can agree with each other as to the
standards for executive and admin
istrator," Mr.. Cohn said. If you
accept new definitions, narrowing
the scope of the act, you will go
far to unsettle the comparatively
settled condition that now exists.
We are strongly opposed to any
attempt to deprive any one of COW
erage under the act"
Opposition to any changes in the
definitions of executive and admin
istrator also was expressed by Law
son Limberly of Washington, rep
resenting the International Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers.
I'VE are opposed to any redefini-
tion that will enlarge the classi-
fications of employees exempt from
the provisions of the act" he said.
I'VE believe that the very purpose
of the act would, IN effect, be de-
feated by so doing. Many workers
are being denied the protection and
benefits that rightfully they should
receive because their employers,
under the present regulations, have
been able to classify them as execu-
tive and administrative employees"
Radio Federation in Opposition.
Any change in the regulations AZ
fecting the classification of employees
of the radio industry could create
a great hardship on thousands of
artists, declared Henry Jaffe Of
New York, representing the Ameri-
can Federation of Radio Artists.
Through Leo j. Buckley of New
York, the international Stereotypers
and Electrotypers Union expressed
its opposition to any change to the
definitions Of executive and admin
istrator.
