4O-HOUR WEEK
LAW OF Land
AFTER OCT. y
Wage and Hour Admins
tor Explains Change
Under Act

At midnight on October % the
maximum legal workweek in the
United States becomes 40 houls,
according to reminder from the
Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor Employees
working longer than 40 hours a
week must be paid time and one
half for overtime, unless they are
in industries exempt from the pro-
visions of the Fair Labor STAN
dards Act.
Employers whose regular work.
week starts before midnight on
October % during that week need
conform only to the AZ, not the 40
hour workweek, it is announced by
Col Philip B. Fleming, Admins
traitor of the Wage and Hour Di-
vision
First Full WOrkweek
1T is our opinion that the 40
hour week will apply for the first
time to the first full workweek
beginning on or after midnight, Oc-
tober %, 1940," Col. Fleming said.
This is in accordance with the
language of the act which declares
that employees shall not be worked
for a Workweek longer than 40I
hours after the expiration of the
second year from the effective date
of the act If the employees work
begins, for example, on Monday,
October 81, 1910, the employer need
pay time and a half only if more
than AZ hours are worked in the
period of seven consecutive days
from Monday, October 81, through
Sunday, October 81, inclusive"
If the employees workweek be-
gins on or after midnight. October
%, Col. Fleming explained, the en-
ployer must pay time and half
after 40 hours are worked in the
workweek beginning at such time.
For employers whose regular work
week begins on Monday, Tuesday,
or Wednesday, the 40-hour pro-
vision will not become effective un-
til Monday, October %, Tuesday,
October 30, or Wednesday, October
80 respectively.
No Wage Change
The Fair Labor Standards Act,
which became effective on October
"a, 1888 provided that for the first
year of it's operation employees
should receive a minimum wage of
25 cents per hour, with overtime
at the rate of time and half
the regular wage rate, whatever
that might be, for all hours in ex-
cess of A worked in any workweek.
For the second year, which expires
on midnight, October %, the act
provided that the minimum wage
should be 80 cents per hour, with
overtime at the rate of time and
a half after AZ hours. Beginning on
October "a, the maximum work
week without overtime is estab-
lished at 40 hours, but the statu-
tory minimum wage does not in
crease until October "a, 1915, when
it must be a minimum of 40 cents
per hour.

Miss Skinner Had to FIGHT
Being Cast in @. w. 7. W.
But She Finally Convinced Agent
She Really Wasn't That Old;
More on Romeo and Juliet
BY JAY CARMODY,

ship fund. You're welcome.)
One of the pictures that crept
into the local journals at the time
was character photograph Of Miss
Skinner as Edna at the age of 81.
Cinema casting agent who scans the
papers closely like every one else
in show business including those
who deny it, saw the picture.
Knowing Miss Skinner by reputa-
ton, but not as to age; he jumped
instantly to the conclusion that she
would be perfect for part in
Gone With the Wind" the part of
Scarlett O'Hara's mother.
As what woman would be, Miss
Skinner was not flattered. For a
period of two weeks she and the
casting director spent many a
minute on the telephone, she trying
to assure him that he had been de-
ceived by skillful makeup. The
man was quite thoroughly deceived,
however, and chung tenaciously to
the idea that Miss Skinner should
take the part. Her offer to play
Scarlett, herself, finally helped
throw him off the wrong track.
Also helping was her assurance that
she was no more elderly than such
film stars as Ann Harding and
Claudette Colbert.
The man finally gathered the idea
that Miss Skinner was not available
for the part, but not before he asked
her about her Southern accent.
'I'll brush up on it." Miss Skinner
promised, land when I'm back here
next season I want you to be sure
and get in touch with me If you
have anything juicy in the grand
mother line that you want me to
play"
Mention the Laurence Olivier
Vivien Leigh Romeo and Juliet" to
the average wise man in the theater
and he will make little noises which
mean he thinks they have a gold
mine there.
Now the principals don't feel that
way at all. They do expect to play
to goodly audiences, hope to at
least, but 1t is going to cost them a
lot OF money to get the production
ready and they have only 20 weeks
of playing time between April and
their next picture engagements. Pro-
duction plans are elaborate. Every
scene of the original play will be
used, necessitating revolving
stage.
Miss Leigh, talking not unlike
Scarlet O'Hara when she says it,
observes:
1--WE will be happy to break even,
but either way it won't matter.
Playing Romeo and Juliet is some
thing both of us have wanted to do
and the personal satisfaction will be
reward enough"

It would not be completely in

ment after receipt of the following
program announced for Lana
Turner:
THE young actress first plans a
short fishing trip to Mexico, followed
by several weeks at Sun Valley. She
then returns to the studio for an
other picture and then will make
an extended tour Of South America.
She will be accompanied by her
mother"
That was before Artie Shaw came
along. And before Miss Turner be-
came Mrs. Shaw, thus changing all
those plans.

one asked us but check of all the

So who does remember? Or Is
willing to be driven slightly insane
trying to remember?

sends us a press book-gets full
credit for better memory than any
