ASPECT IS DECLARED ON
 TRU(kMEN WAGES
Supreme Court Upholds Wage and Hour Di-
 vision 5 Position

WASHINGTON, June 4. = The decision of the United States Su- preme Court today in the case of U. s. Interstate Commerce Con- mission vs. the American Trucking Association, Inc, ct al upheld the position of the Wage and Hour Di- vision on interstate bus operations and common and contract trucking, said Colonel Philip B Fleming, Ad- ministrator
 The decision written by Justice Stanley Reed means that more than 100000 employees of bus and truck ing companies remain under the hours provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and are therefore entitled to at least time and half their regular rate for overtime. Colonel Fleming pointed out that this is in accordance with Inter pretative Bulletin No of the Wage and Hour Division, which was cited by the court. Such interpretations diC SiitioiC0 to SiCdO WclSllt, lllc court said
 The Wage and Hour Division intervened in the case in support of the position of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Com mission had ruled that it's juris- diction over hours of service of employees of common and contract carrier trucking concerns is limited to those employees whose activities affect safety of operation. A special court of three United States Judges in the District of Columbia invali- dated the Commissions ruling. and held that the Commissions juris- diction extended to alls employees of such concerns. The Supreme Court by to vote reversed this today.
 The Fair Labor Standards Act. or Federal Wage and Hour Law. exempts from hour provisions any employee with respect to whom the Interstate Commerce Commission has power to establish aualifica- tions and maximum hours of ser vice pursuant to the provisions of Section 204 of the Motor Carrier

NOT IN THE HEADLINES

While the greatest battle of the war, possibly the greatest battle of all time, is raging the head lines tell of the movements of armies and fleets. It is of the tida of battle that everyone wants to learn But there is another phase of this war, necessarily neglected in the news. That is the story of the streams of homeless refugees, trudging southWard from Dutch and Belgian cities into overcrowded France
 By the scores of thousands, old men, women ana children are plodding toward what they hope will be safety from Nazi oppression. They take with them few poor possessions, things they need or cherish most But they cannot lake their homes or their jobs And only the most fortunate few of them can take money vauabeS in sufficient quan- tity to assure their comfort in another land.
 Some of them are too ill to travel Some lose their way in the stupe faction of terror Some think ing to find safety by trailing the columns of march, ing troops scuthward caught in enemy air raids and die horrible deaths machine gun bullets spray on soldier and refugees alike.
 The feeding, clothing and housing of these relugees-and there millions of them-Would be q colossal task at any time For q nation fighting with Ter back to the well as France is fighting, il is an impossible task. It is something we can help with The American Red Cross is asking for $l0,- 100000 Juneau and its residents asked for 200 of this total In gratitude for your own security, and in charity to the innocent victims Of a cruel invasion will you net help?

Act, 1885" The Commission had regulated hours of drivers whose work affected the safety of opera tions to an absolute maximum of 60 hours a week, and these employ ees only were considered by the Wage and Hour Division to be ex- empt from the hours provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
 The Court in upholding the broad interpretation taken by the Divis- ion in Bulletin No. 9 said "The Commission and the Wage and Hour Division, as we have said, have both interpreted section 204 (a) as relating solely to safety of operation. In any case. such inter pretations are entitled great weight. This is peculiarly true here where the interpretations involved contemporaneous construction of a statute, by the men charged with the responsibility of setting its ma chinery in motion, of making the parts work efficiently and smoothly while they are yet untried and new" x
 As it has been estimated that more than two hundred thousand employees of common and contract carriers are not engaged in activi- ties affecting safety of operations of trucks and busses owned by such carriers. the decision of the Su- preme Court has the effect of mak ing the AZ hours GAO hours after October 24) workweek under the Fair Labor Standards Act applica ble to such employees. They may be employed longer than the A or 40 hour workweek but must be paid at least time and half their regu- lar rate after the hour limitation of the Wage and Hour Law has been passed

cut from the Mackinaw Straits
and shipped by boat to Newark.
He continued in this business
until 1907, when he sold out to
devote his entire time to the
china store. During this time,
his son, then in school, was
working at the store. He learn
ed the business from the ground
up, and when his father died in
1913 he purchased the store.
Originally it was one-story
structure. Later, about 1904, the
first remodeling work was start
ed. Since then two stories have
been added and the depth sub
stantially increased. Too, the
basement has been renovated and
put into condition for storage,
sales and other purposes.
Mohlenpah's is considered one
of the most complete stores of it's
kind in Central Ohio. And as

Spiritual Unity
Theme of Talk
AtChurch Meet

The necessity of unity of re-
ligious forces" to meet modern
problems was stressed by the
Right Rev. Henry w. Hobson,
of Cincinnati, in an address to
ministers and church laymen
Wednesday evening at the First
Presbyterian church. The oc-
casion was the laymens' dinner
sponsored by the Licking County
Ministerial association.
Centering his talk on the Ma
dres, India, conference of ma
tions in December, 1888, Rev.
Hobson summarized the condi-
tions confronting church, politi-
cal, and social groups, and en-
phasized the need for spiritual
and cultural unity among nations
of the world. Following the ad-
dress, motion pictures of the
Madres conference and of a trip
through India were shown.
Following a motion of Rev.
Donald Timerman, laymen form
ed plans for the organization of
a committee looking toward the
establishment of a Licking coun-
ty laymen's conference to coop
crate with officers and members
of the Ministerial association.
Approximately 275 churchmen
attended the gathering. E. S.
Randolph was chairman of the
laymen's committee for the din
ner and also served as toastmas-
ter. He was assisted by DR.. E.
L. Tate, Clifford Bishop, and
Champe j. Stoakes.
Musical numbers were present
ed by the YMCA male chorus
under the supervision of c. d.
Rankin, and by a boys trio COM
posed of Don Riggs, Harold Nor
ris, and Ben Ralph.
The invocation was read by
Rev. M. B. Maharg, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church.
Benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Robert 0. Mcclure of the
First Methodist church.

Considerable time has flown
by since 1876, considerable wat
er has gone over the dam, so to
speak, and there have been con-
siderable changes in the methods
of merchandising employed by
businessmen in Newark in those
GA years. In fact, not only have
times and methods changed, but
few business houses remain as
originally begun in the 1870's.
John Mohlenpah's does. 1t
was started in 1876 by Charles
Updegraff and George Warner
as china, glassware and wall
paper store. In substance it re-
mains the same to this day.
Quarters have been enlarged,
and heightened. New items have
been added to the stocks, such
as enamelware, kitchenware and
utensils and new ideas adopted,
but the location and the basic
part of the business are the
same.
Mr.. Warner came to Newark
in 1897. He purchased the site
now being used for the construc-
tion of the new Furnas building
on South Third street. For gen
erations it remained the Warner
homestead. He engaged in the
banking busines under the firm
name of Robbins, Wing and
Warner. This enterprise was
carried on in the building occu-
pied by the Licking County Re
lief administration. The vault
used by the financial firm still
remains in the wall of the relief
headquarters.
The china store later became
the sole property of Mr.. Upde-
graft upon the demise of Mr..
Warner. He conducted it until
the time of his death in 1898.
Then it went into the hands of
Ferdinand Mohlenpah, father of
the present owner, John Mohlen-
pah.
Ferdinand Mohlenpah came to
Newark from Germany in 1869.
His activities in commercial
channels centered about the ice
business. Automatic refrigera-
tion being unknown at the time,
ice supplies for commercial cool
ing purposes were harvested
from the old canal. For domes-
tic and direct use it was taken
from Lake Erie and sometimes,

First White House
On Brewery Site

Recent research has revealed
that the first White House did
not occupy the site on Cherry
Street in New York City COM
monty attributed to it, but stood
further up the street on the site
formerly occupied by the brew
cry of Robert Benson, member
of the New York Common Coun-
Gil from 1740 to 1854. The
house in question was erected on
the property shortly before the
Revolution, and was occupied by
George Washington as the first
official Presidential residence
from 1889 to 1890.
