Coast Guard to Be
Retroactive to June ;

Employees of the field services of
the War Department, Navy Depart
ment, Coast Guard and the Panama

affected, the order said that no en-
ploye covered in the decision shall

work more than 48 hours in any
administrative work week. The
order added:
"Such limit may be exceeded when
it is considered by the Secretary Of
War, the Secretary of the Navy, the
Secretary of the Treasury or the
Governor of the Panama Canal, or
such subordinate officers as they
may designate, to be necessary for
the maintenance of the production
schedule for an arsenal, shipyard,
shop or other establishment of a
similar agency. or to meet other
specific emergency situations.
when in the judgment of the
head of the department concerned
the health or efficiency of any
employe will be impaired by en-
ployment for more than eight hours
day or 40 hours week, such en-
ploye shall not be required or per-
mitted to work overtime.
1T shall be the policy of the
agencies affected by this order to
hold overtime work to the absolute
minimum consistent with the re-
quirements of the national defense
program"
