Minimum Wage Tipped
For Harvesting Cane

Washington, D. c. ULNS).-Mini-
mum wages have been set approx
mately 10 per cent above those of
last season for laborers harvesting
the 1941 crop of sugarcane in Louis
lana and Florida during the period
September /, 1941, to June 80, 1912,
the Department of Agriculture an
nounced here. This action is in ac-
cord with the increase which has
taken place in the general agricul-
tural wage level in this area during
the past year.
The determination has been eX-
tended to include minimum wage
rates for mechanical loading opera
tions not specifically provided for
previously. A revision of the mini
mum wage rate for operators of me-
chanical loading equipment has also
been made. The only other change is
that for the first time minimum
wages have been specifically set for
operations connected with the me-
chanical cutting of sugarcane.

Morones Named
Officially To nO
BY CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT

Washington, ID. C. ULNS).-When
last l wrote from Mexico City, report
ing an interview with President Avila
Camacho, my report brought to lLNS
in Washington certain questions and
attempts at denial.
1t was denied through semi-offical
channels that Luis N. Morones, head
of the GROIN, would be a labor repre-
sentative to the forthcoming meeting
of the international Labor Organiza-
ton in New York City.
Now comes complete confirmation
of my report. Morones will be one of
three labor men to compose the MeXi-
can delegation to the ILO. While in
these meetings government has one
vote, industry one and labor one, Mex
leo interprets the rule to mean that
more than one delegate can be named
proving that one vote is cast for each
division.
So, learn today from Mexico City
that Morones has been named official
ly. This has tremendous Significance
in Mexico, where, until the presidency
of Avlla Camacho, the government
has given no recognition whatever to
the GROIN since the retirement of
Morones from the Gales cabinet.
Apparently it was the desire Of the
Mexican Secretary of Labor, Ignacio
Garcia Tellez, friend of Lombardo
Toledano, to appoint CTM man as
sole labor representative. He tenta-
lively named Fidel Velasquez, secre-
tary of CTM, successor to Toledano
President Avila Camacho himself re-
versed this decision, named Morones
and so far has not named Velasquez
although CTM Will have one repre-
sentative, along with Morones and one
other who will represent an independ-
ent labor group.

Labor Relations
Aided By Closed
Shop Provisions

Washington, D. C.-The American
Council on Public Affairs made public
study of labor conditions which con-
cluded that "labor relations are con-
siderably smoother as a result of the
closed shop"
The study was made for the pri-
vate research organization by the Rev.
Jerome L. Toner, of the faculty of st.
Martins College, the Catholic Univer-
sity. He worked under the supervision
of the Rev. Francis ]. Haas, dean of
the university's school of social
science and special commissioner of
conciliation in the Labor Department,
and the Right Rev. John A. Ryan, di-
rector of the social action department
of the National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference.
Other conclusions reached were:
approximately 100000 organized
workers are under closed shop con-
tracts.
"Closed shop conditions are domi-
nant in the coal, clothing, printing,
building trades, brewery, motion pic
ture metal and glass industries.
GAS a result of antipathy toward
the CIO because of Communists in
fiuence in it's unions, large number
of companies long opposed to the
closed shop have accepted it under
A. F. l.. contracts.
"Trade unions have demonstrated
genuine responsibility under closed
shop contracts and have contributed
substantially to the improvement Of
production.
"The closed shop will probably be
the rule rather than the exception
within the next decade"

OPERATING YOUR OIL BURNER
MORE ECONOMICALLY

OPERATING YOUR OIL BURNER
MORE ECONOMICALLY
For householders who use oil to
heat their homes and want to know
how to cut down their oil bills this
winter, engineers of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture offer these sug-
gestions:
Ask your oil burner service man to
use flue-gas analyzer in checking
up on the amount of oil you burn,
they advise. The analyzer will reveal
whether or not combustion in your
furnace is as complete as possible. If
it isn't, have him hunt for any leaks
between the boiler sections and around
the door, as they may be affecting
the efficiency of your burner Then
have him adjust your burner for the
proper proportions of oil and air. 1t
has been found more economical in
an eight-room house to fire the fur
mace at the rate of one gallon an hour
rather than at higher rate.
You may be able to save between
SIS and SIT year by adopting slower
firing. With oil costing seven cents a
gallon, you may save as much as 200
gallons at no real inconvenience or
reduction in the comfortable tempera-
ture of your house during the cold
months
