RUBBER COMPANY : WAGES REVIEWED
Adjusted Payments Total. ling S5O,000 to Be Given
 200 Factory Employees
fsnecial to The Delnocrat)

Adjusted wage payments totaling approximately $50,000 are, being made to more than 200 employees of the united States Rubber company 1t was revealed today at the ofiice of General Philip B. Fleming, administrator of the Wage and Hour division, United States De" partment of Labor. ".,
 These payments are Q result of m intensive study carried on by the company for the past few months for the purpose of deter mining whether proper classiilca- ton of workers had been iil erect in it's plants. About one-haf of one percent of the United States Rubber colnpany's 42,000 employees will receive restitution payments in sums varying from c few cents to more than q thousand dollars in A few instances. Practically all of the cases were the so.called white collar" workers. ,,. o. s. Ching, director of Industrial and Public Relations of the United states Rubber company, initiated the study of salaries and wages last october when the revised regula- tions were issued by the Wage and Hour division covering the classifi. cation of workers who are exempt from the provisions of the law as executive, administrative and pro- fessional employees or outside sales men, It involved an analysis of the duties of individual employees to de- termine whether there had been misclassific tions. Information in relation to individual cases was fur nished the administrator Of the Wage and Hour division and his office worked closely with the com pany ofiicials to determine the proper status of all workers and aid in determining what would con- stitute proper adjustment in pay, for those who were found to have been misclassified.
 MT. Ching said that the study was initiated with the full knowl- edge that some rnisclaSsifica ationS were certain to be found among the 42,000 employees who were on the payrolls at the end of 1940. He said that he felt the company was now in full compliance, not only with the present regulations cov- ering white collar" classificatio but with respect to all types of work from the time the act went into effect to the present time.
 : General Fleming said that "the action taken by this organization with the guidance of the Wage and Hour division is an impressive dem- onstra tion of the results which may be accomplished when business co- operates 100 per cent with federal agencies which are charged with enforcing the statutes. We have worked closely with MT. Ching, of the United States Rubber company. and personally appreciate the zeal with which this company has acted to dispose of the cases of inisclassified employees"

Tabulation of old age assist ance tax payments, still incom- plete, showed . total of Sl36,230 today, according to Tax Collector Humbert Mangini. Payments sent by mall were still being listed to- day.
 MT. Mangini believes that still unopened mail payments will reach 5000 or more.
