AT Eeatufc GSfVICe WTltcT
 NEW YORK. March 2o.-Defense industries are raising the dickens with model railroad clubs by picking off the most expert members for jobs demanding nimble fingers and skin and patience. .~e
 For this we nave the word of Richard a Merle, chairman of the New York Society of Model Engin- eers, which has experienced partic- ularly heavy raids on it's member ship 4
 The reason, of course, is that any man who will toll over a complicated model and tease it into operating ac- quires an aptitude needed by the de- fense industries.
 Social Progress
 One amateur who built a gaso- line engine, a Merle relates, now has a job testing airplane engines. Another who teamed up with ma chinist on model locomotive now is testing bomb sights. Still another is checking over the potential value of idle locomotives.
 Such men turned to making mod els in the first place because of a socfal condition, a Merle believes.

Minimum Wage Is
Upheld bYPd. Court

Harrisburg, Pa.-The right of the
Commonwealth to set minimum wage
standards for women and other deci-
sion by the Dauphin County Court.
The minimum wage law, passed in
1887, was considered so important by
the State that Attorney General
Claude T. Reno personally argued the
case.
In declaring the 1887 law constitu-
tional, Judge John e. Fox dismissed
an appeal from an order by Lewis G
Hines, Secretary of Labor and Indus
try, in fixing minimum wage Of q
cents an hour for women and minors
employed in the laundry industry.
Judge Fox's decision was hailed as
"great victory for the Common
wealth" by Reno.
"This law the Attorney General
. asserted, "is vitally important to the
women and minors employed in indus
try"
Hines also praised the Fox opin.
/ ion and limited that he may act in the
near future to set wage requirements
for the hotel and restaurant indus
try.
The 1887 law was challenged by 5s
Central Pennsylvania laundries.

Mandatory Saving
Plan For Defense
Workers Is Urged

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-A
mandatory government-sponored saw
ings plan for defense workers, to aid
them if they become unemployed at
the end of the defense program, was
urged by President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor, in
testimony before the special House
committee investigating migratory la
Dor. The committee is headed by
Representative John J. Tolan of Cali
fornia.
Green suggested that the proposed
fund be withheld until after the emer-
gency period, or until an emergency
in the workers family made the use
of such savings imperative. He said
the government ought to make de-
fense employment attractive by eX-
tending social security coverage to all
deefnse workers and other methods.
zone such inducement," he told the
committee, "would be the use of re-
vamped social security program
which would not discriminate against
many ue1enSe WOlkeTS DIS Iue pIeoeiil
one does"
He explained that workers who left
private employment to work for the
government lost benefits accruing
from old age and unemployment com
pensation laws, since government
workers are not on an insured basis
and that those who had worked tenn
porarily on defense would lose theil
old age and survivors, insurance bene-
fits.
Sidney Hillman, Associate Director
General of the Office of Production
Management, testified there was now
no strike that seriously hinders" de-
fense production. He warned that
anti-strke legislation might slow ur
production and declared any attempt
"to Hitlerize American labor is doom
ed to failure"
Assistant Administrator Carringtor
Gill of the WPA submitted a prepared
statement in which he said there was
no possibility of a general labor short
age He said that while the defense
program will give employment to
many, there would still be 5,OOO,CO(
