Change In Wage-Hour Rules
Affects 100000 Persons

half for work. done beyond ~
hours.
The 20 hour week is the flnal
step in the evolution OF a flxeo
standard work week under tn
Wage-hour act.
When the law went into oper.
alton in 1888, it called for a A
hour week and time and a half
pay for overtime. In October 1889,
the week became AZ hours:
Revised regulations defining ex.
empted white collar workers also
become effective Thursday. Wage
hour authorities estimate that
more than 200, 900 such workers
will be excluded from the maxi
mum hour and overtime require
ments of the law.
The change to a 40 hour week
will not affect railroad workers,
or truck and bus drivers whose
operations are not covered by the
hours provision of the act. Retail
and service employees likewise are
not affected. /

WILDCAT BUS" FEATURED
AT BIJOU HOUSE TODAY

With the development of the
greater network of highways COW
ering the United States, bus trans
portation has grown rapidly in
competition with the railroads, and
has become equally recognized as
a swift and convenient form OF
travel. However, like the railroads,
the bus companies are under the
control of various state and Fed
eral commissions tn t regulate
their rates, schedules and oper-
ations generally. But of recent
years a menacing competition has
grown upon the scene. This is the
so-called wildcat racket, one that
authorities are endeavoring to
stamp out. 1t is simple to run,
difficult to stop. This racket IN
human cargo is the colorful back
ground of action in wildcat Bus,
new RKO Radio drains apening
today at the Bijou theatre, featur-
ing Fay Wray, Charles Lang and
Paul Gulifoyle.
In its simplest form the racket
comprises a few unlicensed men
driving their own cars, and a dis
patcher who hides behind a dozen
aliases with a dozen different tele-
phones installed at his headquar-
tiers.
Chapter three of "Deadwood
Dick and chapter 10 of Terry
and the Pirates will complete the
program.

NYA Building Plans
Await Site Decision

Plans for the erection of a st 5000
NYA training center here, to train
youths for trades essential in nation
al industry, are awaiting approval
of NYA officials for a change in the
location of the building, j. E. L,
Wade, city commissioner of public
works, said yesterday morning.
On receipt of an offer from NYA
to erect such a building here if the
city would furnish the property on
which to build it and 5000 for cleo
trio wiring and plumbing, the city
commissioners last week leased a
piece of property on South Fourth
street, west of Fourth street and
south OF Willard, to NYA as a site.
Later members of the group beau
tifying the drive around Greenfield
lake appeared before the city com
missioners and protested the cree
ton of the building at that point,
holding that it would mar the beau
ty Of the entrance to the drive and
that the city, in leasing the proper
ty to NYA, was breaking faith with
the donors of the property who spe-
Gifted when giving the property that
it was to be used for park purposes.
Saturday members of the protest
ing group met with Wade and des-
ignated four other pieces Of proper
ty which the city owns as being more
desirable as a location for the plant.
A map showing the location of these
pieces of property has been forward
ed to NYA headquarters and Wade is
now awaiting word from NYA as to
whether it will accept any of the
four in lieu of the piece of property
which has been leased to the agency
by the city.
Wade said the building, to cost a
total of $4,000, will be SO feet by 12O
feet, of metal construction with a
concrete floor, weather-boarded and
painted to suit local authorities. In
the event a need for more space for
training youths is found here. he
said, it is possible an additional
building may be erected by NYA.

nile cases are tried, was outlined by
the speaker.
