INTERMARRIAGE: The head

DRAMA: This story concerns a

equally Well-known son. The
son has been in a concentration
camp for a reason that need not

spent anguished hours, day and
night, trying to effect his release.
One day she received word
that her son, if released, would
enter a particularly dangerous
branch of the military service. E.

the mother: In concentration

Overtime Paid
Under Union Pacfs
Held as Meeting Law
Some Employers Thought
Added Sum Had to Be Paid,
Woee-Hour Head Says

Employers who pay overtime
under union agreements may con-
slider such compensation as paid
|; also to meet the requirements OF
the Fair Labor Standards Act,
Wage Hour Administrator Fleming
announced today in releasing new
rules covering the relationship OF
union agreements to the wage-hour
law.
Some employers have felt that
when they pay overtime compensa-
ton in accordance with union
agreement, they may not take the
credit for doing so, but they believe
that they must pay an amount IN
addition to the amounts paid under
the agreement" Col. Fleming said.
The additional amount, they UNDER
stand, must equal time and a half
the employees regular rate of pay
for the number of hours worked in
excess of a.
Automatically Obeying Law.
"This is definitely not the case.
An employer may properly consider
as overtime compensation paid by
him for the purpose of satisfying
the requirements of the act any
extra compensation he may have
paid for overtime work under a
union agreement or other agree
ment
THE act does not require the
employer to pay overtime on over
time. For example, if a union
! agreement calls for 42-hour week
and overtime at time and half
the regular rate for all hours over
the AZ, and an employer complies
with this agreement, he is automat-
ically obeying the law. However,
after October "a, this year. on which
date maximum hours allowable will
be reduced to 40, if an employer
then continues to pay only in &C
cordance with the union agreement
he will not be obeying the law, and
his compliance with the union
agreement, even to the letter, will
not be an acceptable excuse for
violation of the statute.
Another misunderstanding.
Some misunderstanding have
also arisen in interpreting the
act as it operates in connection with
a union agreement requiring time
and half for all hours worked in
excess of eight hours a day, the
normal. or regular. work day. Here
again it is entirely unnecessary for
an employer to pay overtime on
overtime. The official yardstick for
calculation of compensation under
the Fair Labor Standards Act is
the single work week."
In a recent supplement to Inter-
pretative Bulletin No. 4 the Wage
Hour Division discusses supper
money" and payment for holidays
not worked. Under Administrator
Fleming's ruling neither supper
money" nor payments made on hol-
idays can be claimed by employers
as overtime payments and credited
as overtime wages paid to meet the
requirements Of the law.

Soft-Water 1ipSayes
Railroad Fuel Cash

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, July %
"A couple of railroad engineers
George Mccormick and Frank Rus
sell, sauntered through the South
ern Pacific's West Oakland laundry
a few years ago and overheard a
conversation about water softening
to save soap.
They got an idea right there that
helped the railroad set a new rec
ord in fuel efficiency.
It came out the other day when
the roads statisticians figured the
company hauled 1881 tons OF
freight mile for every pound of
fuel in 1899, just about twice as
many tons hauled as 20 years ago
The remark was that tho water
softening stuff saved more on the
linen washed than on the soap
The two engineers substituted loco
motive boilers for linen. They tried
the water softener to stop the de-
posit in boiler pipes which inter.
feres with heating and it worked.
Mccormick is now general super
intendent Of motive power and Rus

Don't Blame Weather
On War, Says Expert
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PLAINF1ELD, N. j., July o.
The European war is the public's
favorite explanation of cold and
rainy weather of the present year.
This report comes from the rec
ords of S. K. Pearson, for IS years
cooperative observer here for the
United States Weather Bureau.
People did exactly the same thing
in the World War, he said. The
reason is popular belief that
large-scale explosions affect wealth.
er. Pearson declared, however, the
detonations in Europe don't even
affect the weather there, let alone
here.
There is always, in his experience,
some fantastic explanation for un-
usual weather spells. Radio and
'its many air waves" was one. An
other common belief Is that some
astronomical event causes bad
weather. Mars proximity, the lin
ing up Of certain planets and posi-
tions Of the moon are examples.
