U.S.. Supreme Court
UphoIds wage-Hour
Measure as Valid

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. CUP)-
The supreme court today upheld the
constitutionality of the wage-hour
law, the latest and one of the most
bitterly contested of New Deal re-
forms
The unanimous action of the high
court came in rulings on two test
cases involving a small Georgia
lumber company a group of small
southern cotton mills.
Justice Harlan F.. Stone wrote the
decision
In one case the supreme court re-
instated indictments which federal
Judge William H. Barrett had
quaShed on the grounds the law
was unconstitutional. The govern
ment had charged that the F.. w.
Darby lumber CO., Statesboro, Ga,
had violated the law by failing to
pay the minimum hourly wage and
had refused to pay time and one
half for overtime in excess of the
prescribed work week.

AFL, clio Row Over
Bargaining Rights
AZ Ford Plants

WASHINGTON, Feb 8. (UP) -
The American Federation of Labor
and the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations appeared headed today
for a major battle to represent the
workers of the Ford Motor COM
pany.
The AF'L last night announced
formation of two new unions in
the automobile industry and claimed
that majority of the 10000 pro-
duction workers in the Lincoln and
River Rouge plants of the Ford
company have been enrolled in
them.
That is contrary to claims of the
CIO which has been trying for
three years to organize Ford work.
erS. The CLOS United Automobile
Workers union recently petitioned
the labor board for a consent bar
gaining election at Ford's Lincoln
plant and, at that time, claimed
1t would get IS to 80 per cent of
the votes cast. The Ford company
refused to consent to an election.
With the AFL'S announcement,
the decision may come through an
election supervised by the labor
board, since the CIO is certain to
challenge the AFL's claim of ma
jority strength.
