$4,000 Film Workers
Are Under Wage Law

Los Angeles, Calf Wesley o. Ash,
regional director of the Wage and
Hour Division of the U. S. Department
of Labor, ruled that more than $4,000
employees of the Hollywood motion
picture industry are entitled to the
minimum wage, maximum hours and
other benefits of the Federal Fair La
Dor Standards Act.
The ruling followed an extended
survey of the industry, involving SID
classifcations of jobs. About 5000
employees were held to be exempt
from provisions of the law and the
status of 2,242 is to be determined in
hearings starting March %.
Movie producers had contended the
Shooting units in studios were ex-
empt from the laws application The
Labor Department held otherwise.
In the majority of the studios the
workers will not be affected by the
ruling, since producers have been fol-
lowing provisions of the act.

of the California Labor Code, Samuel
Goldburg, building contractor, was
fined 500 by Judge Peter j. Mullins,
H. G. Carrasco, state labor commits

employment unless they agreed to
work for less. 1t was testified that
some of the workers were induced to
sskick back" as much as $40 week.

ORDERS REMOVAL

Indianapolis (ILNS). - Pushing it's
campaign against undesirable officials,
the international Brotherhood of
Teamsters has ordered the expulsion
of Hyman Singer from the presidency
of Hoboken, N. j., Local 805.
Daniel j. Tobin, international presi-
dent of the union, wrote to Local 805
that unless "affidavits and evidence"
showing Singers expulsion were re-
ceived by March 81 "the charter of
Local 805 stands revoked and all Off
GERS OF others responsible for refusal
to carry out the order of the general
executive board will be refused admis-
sion into any local union of the inter
national now or in the future"
Tobin said the expulsion demand fol-
lowed a complaint to President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor that Singer had been
convicted of felonious assault in New
York. A New York dispatch said
Singer had been arrested twice for fe-
lonious assault, once in 1922, when he
received a 60-day Jail sentence and
again in 1888, when he was acquitted

BUY UNION FOR EASTER

Women members of labor unionists
families should always demand the
union label Although 80 per cent of
ladies' garments are union-made, the
union label is not displayed on all of
them. Manufacturers will not display
the union label unless there is de-
mand from merchandisers. Merchants
will not ask manufacturers to sew a
label in each garment unless there is
an urgent demand from consumers
for it.
The Union Label Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor is very anxious to have all
union-minded women constantly ask
for the union label on every article
they buy. We believe that a continual
crusade by women shoppers, not only
at Easter and Christmas time, but
throughout the entire year, will prove
to both manufacturers and merchan-
disers that there is enough demand
for union label goods for them to place
the label on all articles that are union
made. NJ. Ornburn.

REPORT PROGRESS
I'm EFFORTS TO AID
ALL IDLE R.R. men

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) u. S.
Senator James M. Mead of New York
recently inquired of Sidney Hillman
what steps are being taken by the Of
flee of Production Management to en-
list the services of unemployed skilled
railroad workers in defense projects
Mead pointed out that there is con-
siderable number of idle skilled work
ers available in the various branches
of the railroad industry. He mentioned
trades such as those of riveters, weld
ers, boilermakers, tool workers, etc.
In reply to Mead's inquiry, Hillman
outlined efforts of the U. S. Employ
ment Service to place unemployed
workers in defense industries and went
on to say:
"In case of railroad workers, there
are problems with respect to seniority
rights which sometimes affect their
willingness and availability to accept
jobs outside the railroad industry, and
these factors have to a certain extent
limited the registration of such work
ers with the public employment offices
Large-scale Program
early last summer a cooperative
arrangement was made with the Rail
road Retirement Board in accordance
with which questionnaires were sent
to all railroad workers receiving un-
employment benefits inquiring about
their occupational skills. About $4,000
replies were received and turned over
to the U. S. Employment Service, thus
giving them information on railroad
workers with skills which might be
needed in defense jobs.
"A large-scale program shortly will
be inaugurated to obtain registration
at public employment Offices of all un-
employed workers, and to obtain the
registration of all employed workers
with skills in occupations of import
ance to the defense program who are
not now working at these skills. This
activity should extend the employ.
ment office registration to cover most
of the unemployed railroad workers
who will take jobs outside the railroad
industry.
Efforts are also being made to use
more fully the facilities of railroad
repair shops in defense production
The Association of American Railways
has recently surveyed the idle facili
ties available in railroad shops. The
reports have been analyzed by the
Transportation Division of the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commission
and efforts are being made to secure
defense orders for those shops which
have equipment that can be used to
produce defense materials"

HEALTH INSURANCE

A weakness of the present social Sc
curity system-a weakness of which
organized labor has taken cognizance
is pointed out very clearly by Chair
man Arthur j. Altmeyer of the Social
Security Board in a discussion of
health and disability insurance.
"Our unemployment insurance and
old-age and survivors insurance sys-
TENS are vital and far-reaching but
they leave a wide gap in the protec-
tion of wage earners against loss of
their wages since there is no provision
for compensation if the worker is un-
employed due to illness or accident not
connected with his employment" Alt
meyer says.
''State workmen's compensation laws
apply only to industrial accidents, and
in some states to occupational diseases,
and unemployment insurance pays
benefits only if the worker is phys
ically able TO work. 1t is most neces-
sary that compensation also be pro-
vided for wage-loss due to non-indus-
trial disability, and it is possible to do
this through modification Of the social
insurance systems we already have.
Compensation for wage-loss due to
permanent disability could be pro-
vided in connection with the federal
old-age and survivors insurance sys-
TEN, and compensation for wage-loss
due to temporary disability would also
be provided in connection with that
system, or in connection with state
workmen's compensation, or unem-
ployment compensation.
II have been speaking only of the
wage-loss due to disability, but this
wage-loss is less than one-fourth of
the total cost of i'll health. The cost
of necessary medical care accounts for
the remaining three-fourths of this
enormous bill. 1t is well established
that the lower the family income, the
greater the amount of disability and
the less the medical care obtained
Therefore, it is absolutely essential
for US to distribute this cost so that
all of our people may have access to
reasonably adequate medical care"
Altmeyer's advocacy of compensa-
ton for non-industrial disability is
supported by the American Fedora
tion of Labor, which in its 1941 legis-
lative program includes demand for
immediate enactment of insurance for
permanent and temporary disability.
eve believe this should be the first
step toward far-reaching national
program of health insurance, our ulti-
mate goal" the federation says.

of the milliners producing styles for
the masses" They claimed that womer
workers on hats selling at wholesale
for $12 dozen receive minimum
wage of $50 for 35-hour week, while
Lilly Dache workers, turning out hats
to sell for $35 apiece, get wage rang
ing from SIC to $22 for 40 hours.

Little Denmark is not taking kindly
to German protection" and is as cold
as ever toward its Nazi conquerors,
DR.. Hans Gluckstadt, noted Danish
writer on political economy, reported
recently on his arrival in the United
States via Siberia. interviewed at
San Francisco by the Danish-Ameri-
can paper, "Bien," DR.. Gluckstadt
said, in answer to question as to
Denmark's future:
''The fate of Denmark is being de-
cided on the battlefronts. The Danes
realize that if Germany wins the war,
their country will not regain its inde-
pendence. We can only hope that Brit
ain will win, but should the war end
in a compromise, America will be our
greatest hope.
Despite the fact that my country
is probably being treated better than
any other of the occupied countries
in Europe, and in spite of a certain
false prosperity, the Danish people
realize that they are being robbed,
he continued.
Asked if the Germans try to inter
fere with the Danish Administration
DR.. Gluckstadt replied:
Indirectly. To all appearances the
Danish government and the Danish
officials rule the country as usual, but
not in reality. In every key position
you will find the Germans behind ev
erything that happens, and .severa
bills proposed in the Danish parlia
ment have been changed entirely OF
orders from Germany.
'The press is not directly under cen
sorship, but the editors know wha
will happen if they print anything OBJ
iectionable to the German lords. Con
sequently, the Danish papers contain
very little and the Danes hardly bother
to read them"
