Harrison explains that the unearth-

a great extent by the cooperation of
a group of former officials of the

Although Curran has frequently.

ment in the coat and suit industry
signed in his presence at his home by
representatives of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union and
three employers associations. The new

The Infants and Children's Coat
Association declined to sign the agree
ment on the ground that the settle

ing were the Industrial Council of
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers,
Inc; the Merchants Ladies Garment
Association and the American Cloak
and Suit Manufacturers Association.
Signing on behalf of the workers
were David Dubinsky, president of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, A. F. of L., and
Israel Feinberg, general manager of

Governor Lehman intervened in the
situation, which had threatened to
develop into a strike following two
day stoppage by $4,000 workers two
weeks ago.
81 believe this contract will help
further to stabilize the industry" the
Governor commented. 81 hope the in
dustry will have a fine season and
many good seasons to follow"
While the agreement stipulates
that it is to be for a term of two
years, it contains a provision that
the contract may be terminated after
one year if issues submitted to

Industry

Washington, D. C.-Changes in the
application Of the Wage and Hour
Law to workers employed in the proc
essing of agricultural products have
been formulated by the Wage and
Hour Administrator Fleming, to go
into effect October /. These changes
(which modify the present exemption
from minimum wages and maximum
hours are estimated to affect the la
Dor standards of more than 10000
workers.
"Area of Production" as this term
is used to exempt workers who proc
ess fresh fruits and vegetables from
the Fair Labor Standards Act will be
refined by the new ruling.
Under the present definition, plants
employing not more than persons,
those located in towns of less than
$500 population and obtain their
fruits and vegetables from within a
10 mile radius, are exempt.
The new definition will exempt es-
Establishments having 10 or fewer en-
! ployes and obtaining their fruits and
vegetables from farms in the vicinity
No other fruit and vegetable estab-
lishments will be considered to be
within the "area of production" under
this new definition. This change would
make more workers eligible for the
80 cents an hour minimum wage.
At the same time, Colonel Flem-

Director of the Hearings Branch OF

fruit and vegetable establishments
from maximum hours. If this rec.

Jobs Under The
Defense Program
Employers are Urged To Let
Office Know Their
Present Needs

Recently the Social Security Board
reported that public employment reg
listers throughout the country showed
no general shortage of skilled work
ers for jobs under the defense pro-
gram.
Today the Boards Bureau Of En-
ployment Security and the National
Defense Commission call attention to
the fact that the problem is, rather,
to prevent hasty movements Of work
ers from one place to another on hear
say or rumor which may bring only
disappointment and hardship.
The Board quotes recommendations
drawn up at recent meeting of the
Federal Advisory Council on Employ
ment Security. The Council is COM
posed of outstanding representatives
of organized labor, management, and
the general public.
To WORKERS the recommendations
are: If you are qualified for any of
the kinds of work needed for the de-
fense program, register at once with
your public employment office. Don't
apply or move to any other place un-
til you know, by asking your public
office, that there is de-
mand in the other locality for your
kind of skill or experience.
In other words, don't take the
chance of losing an opportunity at
home until you can be reasonably sure
of a job somewhere else. Your local
employment office has or can get the
information you need about this.
EMPLOYERS are urged to let the
nearest public employment office know

A spring symphony in color
once again has been achieved by
the Color Affiliates. that clever
group Of fashion creators who
band together each year in the
interests of color harmony and
perfect teamwork between acces-
sorry fashions.
The affiliates have really tri-
umphed this season with a sextet
of breathtaking colors. And the
shades launched by this group,
soon to be found in gloves, bags
and hats in all parts of the coun-
try are: Yippee! Yellow, Scandal
Red, Blue Streak and three pas
tells, pink mist, blue haze and
foam green.
The names given these colors
are an indication of their bril-
lance and zip, and the fact that
bright, new accessories make" a
new costume or accomplish reno
walton wonders with last years
model, has long been established
The Color Affiliates are justly
proud of their progress toward
the end of mismated accessories,
and perfectly matched hats
gloves and bags are the result Of
their campaign.
Yippee! yellow is a dazzling
shade of sunshine hue-perfect
with navy, black or brown.
Scandal Red is a flag red with
enough "oomph" to do things for
a costume of gray or navy, Blue
Streak, a streamlined version Of
royal, and blue haze, the grayed
blue Of a Westpoint cadets uni
form. Pink Mist and Foam Green
are all that the names imply
a soft, rose pink and a pale, sea
green. -,
Other fashions, limiting that
spring is near, are the beguiling
flower hats, which their design
ers tell us, are not merely whim-
sizes of the moment, but here to
stay all spring and summer. And
no wonder, the snug turbans,
