Wage-Hour Division
Files 1872 New Cases

The Wage and Hour Division filed
1872 new cases in July, the largest
number for any one month in its
history, Administrator Philip B.
Fleming announced today. During
the same month, the division closed
more cases in court than in any
other month since the Fair Labor
Standards Act became effective on
October "a, 1898.
OF the cases instituted in July,
173 were civil suits, and nine were
criminal prosecutions. This brings
the cumulative total of new cases
in 1910, up to August /, to 652. OF
these, $50 we're civil and 100 GRIM
inal. The Wage and Hour Division
has closed 557 cases so far this year
Though the proceedings instituted
In July cover wide range of in
dustries, the increase is in large
part due to the enforcement drive
in the lumber industry, which be-
gan on June 10. The increased
activity is partly to be explained
also by the expansion in the in
specting force. In 1888, when the
law went into effect, the Wage and
Hour Division had 81 inspectors.
BY December 81 last, the number
had been increased to more than
400. On July 81, the division had
a field force of nearly $50 inspectors
and pay roll examiners.

Work Experience

Of School Traininq
Youth Commission Study
Recommends Changes
In Curriculum

work experience should be part
ol tne curriculum of all the Ma
uon,s high schools in the opinion
OF 1o prominent educators who have
prepared report recommending
changes in the secondary education
system which soon is to be pub
nshed by the American Youth Com
mission of the American Council
on Education.
The ability to work steadily for
eight hours is not natural posses
sion; 1t has to be acquired" the
report declares.
Present vocational education pro-
grams either cultivate highly spe-
c1alized skills for which there is
limited demand or provide innova-
tions more in the nature of patch
work additions than fundamental
reforms in the instructional pro-
gram" it contends.
Commends Youth Agencies.
The report, prepared by COM
mlttee headed by Ben G. Graham,
superintendent of the Pittsburgh
~ a. PubAS oSlloOAo, i Gu
eral youth-serving agencies, stating
that Government plans have sup
plemented in highly significant
way the Nations program of educa-
ton. 1t has cultivated confidence
and morale where the school failed
to equip many of its pupils to face
the realities of practical living"
In addition to advocating produc-
tive work opportunities, the educa-
tors recommended that high schools
offer instruction in improved meth
ods of reading, expand courses in
the social studies, give instruction
in personal problems and undertake
fundamental revision of standard
courses.

PICKET MARCH IS LEGAL FOR GOLDEN STATE
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct.-

The legality of closed shop con- tracts in California and the right to peaceful picketing' has been upheld by the State Sup reme Court in a 4-3 decision.
 The opinion reversed the decis ion of the State District Court of Appeals in San Francisco in the Howard Auto Case and also ex- tended to four similar cases in scattering sections of the state.
 The right of a union to picket in the absence of a labor dispute was upheld with this language: Tt is not the duty of the court in the absence of violence to en- join peaceful picketing, but it is for the Legislature to act if it is to be public policy of the state to prohibit such acts.'
 The AFL Retail Auto Sales mems union picketed the How ard Auto Company here two years ago in an effort to force the company's 32 salesmen to join the union and negotiate for closed shop contracts.
 When AFL mechanics refused to go through the picket line salesmen sought an injunction to halt the picketing, but a Superior Court judge refused to issue such an order.

EDITORIAL
SUPPORT
 AND IT Is NEEDED

When The New York Times says it's going to support Wlllkle for President, 1t means 1t. Wit ness The Times headlines on the story of the latest Gallup poll gauging the opinions of voters as of October 1. The Times, ir small type on page 45, puts this head over the Gallup story:
 'Roosevelt's Lead Mounts ir Survey. Gallup Study Gives Him 499 Electoral Votes to 32 for Will kie. BUT RACE IS STILL CLOSE"
 Brother, that's what's meant by support.
 On the same page of The Tim eS, Republican National Chair man Joseph w. Martin is inter viewed in an attempt to offset the legitimate Gallup story Mar tin attacks the Gallup figures as ''preposterous' and says private figures sent to him by Republic an organizations and independ- ent sources' show Willkie lead ing in Oregon and Minnesota, which were among 42 States awarded to the President in the Gallup survey.
 Dr. George Gallup whose cleo ton predictions since 1886 have proved to average less than four percent in errors from all causes says in issuing the new figures that despite MT. Willkie's open ing campaign tour, which took him through a large part of the West and Midwest, President Roosevelt is slightly stronger ir current institute tests than he was in mid-September." At the same time the Gallup poll show ed the President with 453 cleo toral votes and Willkie with 78 Only 266 electoral votes are nee eSsary for election.
 In the latest Gallup poll, start ed September 20 and concluded October 2, representative groups of voters in all States were ask ed: If the Presidential election were held today, would you vote for Willkie or RooSevelt?" The President got 56 percent of the popular vote and all States ex- cept Nebraska, Maine, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas.
 The Times is not the only old and distinguished newspaper prostituting itself this fall for the Wi lkie cause" The number of papers and magazines which slave turned their backs on the tenets of objective journalism in order to give their all to the Re publican candidate is enough to make any neWSpaperman a little ashamed for his profession. The reporters of The New York Tim es, Tome magazine, Life Maga- zine and The Seattle Times, among other journals, must hold their noses while they write the stuff they have been turning out of late for their big business over lords.
 The Seattle Times of course was never noted for it's fairness. It is now publishing every day on it's editorial page the most vit rlolic and unreasoned column of editorial comment ever to come to our notice. Everything that hafpenS in the nation or abroad, everything, is turned into either a smear for Roosevelt or a halo for Willkie The Republican cand 4date's very obvious downhill slide in the estimation of the people of the United States is first denied as propaganda, then blamed on the underhanded con niving of the Democrats who as all readers of The Times know, are just about four notches be- low Hitler and MuSsolini.
 The open defection of Time and life magazines is sickening Ia thn,,nn. lr IL = 11 IL

Problems of health and relief as regards the children and families coming under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Welfare and the relation o the department and it's repres entatives with other Territorial and Federal agencies affected, were discussed Wiht various rep resentatives during the confer ence Through the services of the Department of Public Welfare, medical aid and disqualification are made available to needy children and families of Alaska.
 The importance of sanitarium and disqualification care for per sons suffering from tuberculosis came up for general discussion with the purpose in mind of drawing the attention of the Al aska Legislature to the danger ous prevalence of the disease among the citizens of the Terri tory.
 Other general programs to be discussed included WPA, CCC the national youth movement old age and survivors insurance and unemployment compensa- tion.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-26

DEWEY see their own stars rising, but fnd1vi-
dually, not collectively, each proclaiming the
others on the wane. On the floor of the con-
vention the delegates hear Governor STAssEN,
an earnest soul but dull, declare that the party
must advance with determined step upon four
major fronts" These he describes as national
preparedness, fifth column defense, domestic
economic welfare and governmental effective
ness. Which sound as if the orator had lifted
a page from the administrations log book.
We have previously c%ontended that the re-
publicans have nothing new to offer; that their
whole effort is concentrated upon attack, and
that they are so intent on tearing down that
they have no time to devise measures for
building up. Governor STAssEN's keynote ad-
dress offers complete confirmation of this.
It's an old American custom to hold political
conventions every four years, but why the Gus
tom is not abandoned this year is hard to see.
This convention in Philadelphia is more sham
than real.

1T WILL BE WILLKIE
The Charlotte Observer

Virtually unheard Of only a few months ago
except as one Of the industrial tycoons,' Wen
dell Willkie seems surely now on his way to the
republican nomination for the presidency.
The rise of this man in the political firma.
ments reads like a romance or legend.
1t Is utterly unbelievable that any citizen of
this country, In SO short a time and with such
swift and conclusive strides, should so capture
the imagination of the people as to be catapulted
from relative obscurity almost within a fortnight
to the pinnacle Of national prominence and even,
1t may turn out to be, to the presidency of the
United States.
For 1t seems to us that it may be taken for
granted that Mr.. Willkie will be nominated in
the Philadelphia convention this week.
The delegates will have a peculiarly strange
turn their backs upon such a champion as this
IN favor Of and select either Taft, Dewey, or
Vandenoerg, whom they have been grooming
for this honor, but none of whom would seem
TO have an outside chance against whoever the
democratic nominee may be.
Mr.. Willkie will give the opposition an abun-
dance Of worry. He will furnish even Mr.. Roose.
welt, if the latter wins the nomination of his
party. with all that he can say grace over.
Men who rise 80 illustriously and so mani
testify magnetic the interests and Enthusiasts
ct the people and who are fresh and growing
and climbing In the esteem and confidence of
their fellow citizens are always difficult to beat
away from their goals.
