Shoe Workers Raise
In Pay Ordered by
Wage-Hour Head
10000 to Get Increase
To Minimum Of
IS Cents an Hour

Increase in the hourly wage of
more than $4,000 Of the 100000 en-
ployes Of the shoe manufacturing
industry was guaranteed in an order
signed yesterday by Col. Philip B.
Fleming, administrator Of the Wage
and Hour Division, Department of
| Labor.
These workers, engaged largely in
piecework, recently were found by
Col. Fleming to be earning less than
IS cents an hour-the minimum
wage for the industry established by
yesterdays order, which becomes ef-
,, fective April 10.
The order places in effect unan-
imous recommendation of an invest
igating committee headed by Msgr.
Francis j. Haas of Catholic Uni
versity The committee included rep
resentatives of the employers, the
employees and the public.
The new order brings above 10000
the number of workers whose wage
rate has been ordered increased by
the administrator. Increases-all
above 30 cents an hour but none
over 40-previously were approved
for the textile, hosiery, millinery,
knitted outerwear and knitted un-
derwear industries. The wage-hour
law automatically increased the rates
of 100000 other workers to 80 cents
an hour.
Col. Fleming said the shoe workers
affected by the new increase were
concentrated in New England and
the st. Louis area, although there
were some in other States.

1obey Says Census
Instructions Cause
Apprehension
Low on Entry in All
Homes Enacted by COP.
Dr.. Reed Retorts
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Tobey, Republican, Of New
Hampshire, said last night that the
public was becoming extremely ap-
prehensive" over four points in in
structions issued to census takers.
In a letter to w. L. Austin, census
director, Senator Tobey asked an
explanation of instructions he said
had been issued to the effect that
enumerators had the right to en-
ter all dwellings, that they were to
fill in correct answers as nearly as
they could ascertain them when
they believed citizens had replied
falsely, that they were to "call at
tention" to penalties when persons
refused to answer, and that they
were to obtain information from
neighbors when householders were
absent.
Before Senator Tobey made pub
lie his letter, DR.. v. D. Reed, assist
ant census director, said that al
though 10-year-old law gave the
enumerators the right OF admis-
sion to all dwellings, they would
not force entry to any homes.
Says G. o. P. Enacted Law.
Authority for the enumerators to
come calling, DR.. Reed said. was
enacted into law by Republicans
during the Hoover administration in
an act which applied it to the 1880
census and subsequent censuses. He
said the 10-year-old law gave
enumerators "the right Of admission
to all dwellings, including ipstitu-
tions, within your territory for the
purpose OF obtaining information
required by the Bureau Of Census"
He added, however, that enumera-
tors were cautioned not to "men-
ton or emphasize the compulsory
features Of the enumeration unless
1t Is necessary" and that In no
case would force be used to get into
home. He added facetiously that
I'VE don't carry guns, either"
May, Visit Census Office.
AS matter of fact, the Assistant
Director said, entering homes is
not at all necessary if the persons
being questioned want to go out
side or visit the census Office
If enumerators and their I'M
mediate superiors fail to convince a
person that he should cooperate,
the matter must be referred to
Washington where additional peace
full solutions will be suggested, DR..
Reed said. Failing in that, he
added, warrant may be sought.
The penalty upon conviction is a
fine of 500 or so days in jail or
both.

WHY'S of what has recently occurred
The simple truth is that Germany
has developed and used an entirely
new form OF warfare. AS this new
technique has been explained 10
readers by other writers, / Will not
60 into details. The great Maglno-
Line. built at the expense OF d billion
dollars during the past twenty years,
seems as obsolete as the Chinese
Wall. Get this point, however: The
German successes have been due 20
the willingness Of the allies to depend
upon their prestige, material wealth,
and what licked Germany before ..
There is still time for the allies 70
turn the tide or at least stop the Ger
man advances. The war is not hope
less for Great Britain. It is true that
the Germans control one side Of the
English Channel. but England still
controls the other side. It is true that
London is now only few miles from
Germany's new air fields, but it is
likewise true that these German ar
bases are only few miles from Brit
jsh shores. Moreover. do not forget
that England still has her navy ana
merchant marine intact.
