Wage-Hour Act Seen
As Dubious BIessinq
ByU 5. {. {. Speaker
7. W. Howard Tells
Management Institute
1t Adds Few Jobs

Doubt that the Wage-Hour Act
will prove an unmixed blessing to
employees was expressed by Thoma.
w. Howard, representing the divi-
sion of manufacture OF the United
States Chamber of Commerce, al
the closing session of the Institute OF
Management Policy at George
Washington University yesterday
afternoon.
Many employees themselves be.
lieve the act is not beneflting them
said Mr.. Howard.
Replies to questionnaires sent out
by the chamber to large and small
businessmen have brought out, he
explained, widespread belief that
the law places employees under q
straight-jacket" and is resulting in
abandonment of personnel policies
which have proved satisfactory to
workers and employers alike.
Foremen Seen in Key Role.
The Importance of foremen to the
management of an industrial plant
was stressed by r. R. Zimmerman,
head OF the Federal Council of Per.
sonnel Administrators. He suggested
that foremen should be trained ade-
quately in meeting the problems of
their Industries and in handling
men. These supervisory employees
Will be key men in the national de-
tense program, he pointed out.
Leslie E. Sanders of the National
Foremen's Institute presided at the
final session. The institute was un-
der the auspices of the George
Washington School of Engineering
and the management division of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers. The two days of meetings
were arranged under the direction
of Frederick M. Feiker, dean of the
school of engineering, and L. P.

rendered as well as a fine song service
