HighestCourtAgrees
To Review Overtime
Provision ofPayLaw
Woee-Hour Division
Appeals Ruling on
Contract Agreement

b. the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court agreed today
to review far-reaching litigation to
determine the proper method of
computing overtime pay under the
Wage Hour Act.
The Wage-H Hour Administration
vas granted review of Circuit
Court decision holding that the
Dallas News was within its rights
in computing overtime paid its en-
ploves on the basis of an agreed
wage which was above the required
minimum pay.
Before today's brief session, the
Justices posed in conference room
at the court, for the first time in
history, for news photographers
The pictures, however, must be SUBJ
mitted for approval of the court
before publication
Philip B. Fleming. the wage-hour
administrator. contended that if
decision by the Federal Circuit Court
at New Orleans were permitted to
stand it would largely destroy" the

for a 40-hour week which has done
so much to increase employment in
this period of increased production"
In reply. the newspaper asserted
that the method urged by the Wage
Hour Administration was designed
to limit overtime work and was
square in the face of the needs of

depends"
Overtime payments should be
made. the Wage-Hour Admlnistra-
ton COntended. on the basis of an
hourly rate obtained by averaging
the weekly wage over the number
Of hours worked"
The administration said the news
paper, before the wage-hour law be-
came effective. made agreements
with each Of its employees for a basic
hourly rate of pay that allowed for
a certain amount of straight time.
and allocated the remainder for
overtime but did not disturb the
weekly wage
Under this arrangement, the
vage-hour petition added, an en-
ploye may work as much as So 3
hours without any compensation in
addition to his weekly salary. The
act, it was said, specified 40-hour
regular work week.
If the Circuit Court decision
stands, the petition asserted that
most weekly salary arrangements
can be converted by contract into
arrangements for minimum or low
basic hourly rates requiring no ad-
ditional compensation for work
weeks in which the statutory maxi
mum is exceeded"
1T is estimated" the administra-
ton said, that more than 100000
employees subject to the provisions
Of the act are directly or potentially
affected by the availability of these
contractual devices
The Circuit Court said in its
opinion that it was difficult to
make fair working agreement
based on hours worked by news
papermen' because their work was
very variable and unpredictable.

While defense authorities may
make some concessions on a quanti-
tative basis. authorities say it is un-
likely that the $4,000 ceiling will be
lifted They point out that should
the quantitative basis be established
contractors will fight over available
supplies, that "bootlegging" of ma
terials may become widespread and
that the net result will be that new
houses must sell for far more than
most defense workers can afford to
pay.
One Of the main reasons for the
$4,000 limit was to keep new houses
built within the range of families
that need them most" one Official
declared.
John L. HAYNES chief of the Divi-
sion of Civilian Supplies newly Gre
ated construction unit, contends
that the construction industry is
not as bad off as some picture it.
The industry" he said in a recent
address. lis now getting defense pri-
critics to the extent of about IS
per cent of its dollar volume of
business in Zealand 194l is no
lean year 1t is the largest since
the late l920s. 1t is estimated that
non-defense construction will be
held to slightly less than half of
l94l. This would add ta,gain using
194l as a baseD some 80 per cent
So. in all probability in 1912 the
industry even under
the new program will get priorities
assistance for around Is per cent
of the dollar volume for 1941. This
alone would be larger than the year
1910.
In addition, it is estimated that
an additional 100000 tons Of steel
Or another billion dollars in defense
projects-will be dis

HELSINKI, Oct. 27.-The organ
OF the dominant Social Democra tic
party reiterated yesterday that Fin
lands war against Soviet Russia is
solely to remove a threat to Finn
ish independence.
War of aggression and conquest
always has been and still remains a
stranger to Finns," it said.
Although Finland has reconquered
territory lost to Russia in the winter
war of 1910, the newspaper said
military necessity forced the Firms
to continue operations against the
Russians.
Only when it comes time to talk
peace can Finland present specific
claims as to her future frontiers, it
added.
