Ruling on Pay 10 Forgo
Vacations Is Reversed

Reversing his previous opinion,
Brig. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, ad-
ministrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, announced today that ex-
ira compensation paid to workers
to forgo vacations will not affect
the regular rate upon which over
time is computed under the Fair
Labor Standards Act Vacation pay
is not payment for hours worked, he
said.
Earlier, in outlining procedure to
be followed by employers accepting
the recommendation of the Office
of Production Management that de-
Tense industries pay their workers
double to give up their vacations
this year, Gen. Fleming ruled that
vacation pay is compensation for
hours worked and that it affects the
rate for computing overtime. He
also declared that employers must
increase the regular rate of pay and
overtime compensation for a period
of time sufficient to net the re-
quired amount.
On further study of the prob
lem, it was explained today, Gen.
Fleming and his aides decided that
the earlier opinions should be re-
scinded, because of the difficulties
in carrying out the rulings. Many
employers pointed out that they
would be unable to follow Gen.
Fleming's first suggestion, by reason
of their inability to control rigidly
the hours worked by the employees.
"As result, employees may receive
either more or less than their GUS
tomary vacation pay" the Wage
and Hour Division said,

The Carborundum Co., whose Nj

striking c. I. o. employees agreed to
accept Federal efforts at concili-

collective bargaining representation
Shell production in the Pressed
Steel Car Co.'S McKees Rocks plant
near Pittsburgh was halted by a
strike of about 100 workers in pro-
test against the creation of a five
hour-day work schedule in the shell
forge department.
A spokesman for the strikers said
the five-hour day cut their earn
ings from So to s11 down to $3.75
to SIS A spokesman for the COM
pany said he was not at liberty to
explain the ork-curtailment order.
The company produces Comm.
shells
The Mediation Board gained an
agreement with c. l. o. United Au-
tomobile Workers to withhold a
strike set for today at the North
American Aviation Co.'S plant at
Inglewood, Calf.
Subject to ratification by the I'M
ion local, there will be no work
stoppage while the dispute is pend
ing before the board or for three
days after the board publishes its
recommendations. The plant has
some 1000 employees.
A union leader, however, said
workers will strike anyway" unless
demands are met by Tuesday.
Wage increases and union shop
are at stake. The union asks a
blanket 10-cent hourly wage boost
for all employees, and an increase in
minimum rates from so to rs cents
an hour.

toonists both claim majorities
among Disney's TOO cartoonists. The
National Labor Relations Board was
asked to conduct an election to de-
termine bargaining agent.
A recognized spokesman for the
soft coal industry, declining to per-
nit use of his name, expressed the
opinion President Roosevelt's procle-
nation last night of an emergency
"forbids the closing down of any in
dustry vital to national defense"
when asked what effect it would
have on new strike threat in the
coal fields. Southern mine operators
have rejected union demands for a
uniform basic daily wage of 81, in
sisting on Southern scale of $3.50.
c. 1. o. Wins Election.
In Warren, Ohio, the c. I. O.s
United Electrical, Radio and Ma
chinist Workers of America won
consent election conducted by the
N. L. R. B. at the Packard Electrical
Division of General Motors.
Fred Haug, field representative OF
the U. E. r, M. W., said that out OF
1888 votes cast, 929 favored the c.
I. O., 484 voted against it, II votes
were challenged and 3 were blank.
The alternative was an independent
union.
The consent election was part of
the mediation agreement which
ended a strike at the plant two
weeks ago. The decision brings the
plant into any blanket agreement
which the c. I. o. and General Mo-
tors sign, Mr.. Haug said.
Picketing continued at the Rad
ford (Va) Ordnance Works in the
strike of A. F. L. electricians, and
union spokesman notified the con-
tractors that a strike might be
called at the bag-loading plant at
Dublin to obtain wage increases.

Greater Utilization
OF Machine Tools
Advocated
Chief of Association
Urges Steps to Avoid
Idle Hours
By the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, May 5.-Declaring
900 machine tools are being de-
livered daily to defense plants, Presi-
dent F. v. Geier Of the National
Machine Tool Builders Association
pleaded today for greater utilization
of the equipment by manufacturers.
Every hour that a critical ma
chine stands idle in a manufac-
turer's plant represents lost produc-
ton" Geier told the associations S
spring meeting. Three methods of
stepping up output stand out as
practical. First, operate this equip
ment more hours per week. Second,
release critical machines from nom
defense industries. Many plants not
engaged in defense work have ma
chine tools which might be available
for defense production. Third,
greater production per machine.
Generally speaking, machine tool
equipment now installed in the
plants of this country could readily
yield at least 10 per cent more out
put per hour under proper tooling
and operating conditions, and in
many cases the increase would be
considerably more"
Every days output of machine
tools-the machines that cut and
shape metal for the making Of
armament and other machines-is
sufficient to equip a good sized de-
fense plant, Geier said, and:
Even now the industry has $4,000
men in training, looking to the
maximum utilization of existing
plant capacity. Mr.. Knudsen
asked us to do the impossible again
and we are doing it."
Geier was referring to o. p. NJ
Director William S. Knudsen's state
ment several months ago that "the
industry as a whole has done prac-
tically the impossible-I am appeal
ing to you to do the impossible
again.
