Elliott Blocks Pay-Hour
Rule In u. S. Contracts

Washington, d. ca clause in gov
ernment contracts pledging business
concerns to comply with the Fair La
Dor Standards Act of 1888 was blocked
by Acting Controller-General Richard
N. Elliott, who declared there is
neither legal authority nor need for
such requirement.
According to the decision the act
itself specifies the manner in which
it is to be administered and enforced
and prescribes the punishment to be
imposed upon conviction for it's vio-
lation. But the statute does not pro-
vide for, or authorize, the inclusion
in contracts of the United States of
any requirement that a contractor
otherwise amenable to it's provision
shall pledge compliance with the law
as matter of contract undertaking"

EUROPE'S CONFLICT

Minneapolis (ILNS). - In a state
ment reafirming its faith in demo-
cratic principles and its loyalty to the
government, the state executive coun-
Gil of the Minnesota State Federation
of Labor is on record as opposing
Americas entry, directly or indi-
rectly," into the European war.
The council statement reiterates
Minnesota labor's traditional condem-
nation Of Communism, Fascism and
Nazism and pledges full cooperation
in the promotion of the national de-
fense program. Maintenance and
protection of social and labor legisla-
tion is urged and the following dec
laration is made on national defense
and the danger of involvement in war:
"If this nation is attacked we expect
to do all things necessary to defend
and protect our country, but until such
time, we decry all propositions which
would tend to institute in America the
very conditions that our forefathers
left Europe to escape.
eve recognize the necessity of our
nation being fully prepared to meet
any situation that may endanger the
safety of America and support all
necessary means to that end.

The amendments, which will affect
nearly 100000 railroad workers,
were approved after the Senate de-
feated a substitute which sought
to increase unemployment benefits
slightly while reducing unemployment
taxes upon railroad when the insur-
ance reserve reached specified levels.
Increases in unemployment benefits
for railroad workers were vigorously
urged by Senator Wagner, who said
that a $150,000,000 reserve fund al
ready had been accumulated He de-
clared that average weekly payments
of 81 to unemployed railroad workers
under the federal act were ''inade-
quate" and below an average of $40
weekly for state unemployment pro-
grams.
"These additional benefits can be
provided without one cent of addi-
tional taxes on the railroads." he
added.
The present per cent payroll tax
on carriers, he said, provided about
$60,000,000 annually. He added that
only $16,000,000 had been spent last
year for unemployment benefits.

FINCERPRINT ALIENS
Continued from page one)

dence of registration Following reg
istration, aliens are required to report
changes of address within five days.
The alien registration act was
passed so that the government may
determine exactly how many aliens
there are, who they are, and where
they are.
Both President Roosevelt and So
licitor- General Biddle have pointed out
that registration and fngerprinting
will not be harmful to law-abiding
aliens. The records will be secret and
confidential and will be available only
to persons approved by the Attorney
General
The immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service asks for the cooperation
of all citizens in carrying out the reg
istration program in friendly man
ner so that our large foreign popula-
tion is not antagonized. 1t is sug-
gested that citizens can be of great
help to their non-citizen neighbors by
explaining what the registration is,
where aliens go to register, and what
information they must give.

New York, N. Y.-Communists and

here by j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, who
declared the nation was confronted
with a new enemy "far more crafty,
scheming and despicable than the kid
naper, the highwayman or the burg
lar"
He told 400 police chiefs attending
New York state convention "the
forces that threaten America today
are motivated by avarice, lust and in
satiable thirst for power. They would
destroy every vestige of our tradi-
tions, institutions and sacred heri-
tages. They have but one principle
that the ends justify the means"
"No fifth column will make head
way in America" he added, "if our
citizens support and protect legitimate
law enforcement, rather than the stab
in-the-back activities of cowardly
Communists or goose-stepping bunds-
men,

eral Security Administrator Paul ".

were made by the public employment
offices during the first half of 1910, a

TRAGEDY IN FRANCE
(From Railway Clerk

The twilight of western civilization
now falls on France. 1t was not cour-
age nor love of country that failed in
the last dark hours. Nor was it be-
ing to die for the country they so
valiantly defended that military dis
aster overwhelmed the armies of the
republic. The soil of France is red
with the blood of its defenders from
the Belgian border to Cherbourg on
the west coast, and to Lyons far
inland.
It was the overwhelming power and
might of a nation which has been
feverishly arming for seven years that
brought ruin to this brave nation.
Now for France terrible ordeal
begins as the nation writhes under the
heel of the Nazi invader. Evan now
it seems incredible that the most CIV
ilized people in the world lie helpless
before an enemy that knows no mercy.
What punishment this hapless peo-
pie must expect for the devotion to
freedom, equality, intelligence, and
beauty, which was a marked charac-
teristic of the French people, no one
knows. But of one thing we can be
certain. The surviving democracies
will never be able to repay the debt
of gratitude they owe to the heroic
defenders who gave their lives in a
vain effort to stem the tide of dicta-
torship and aggression.
