Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Keeping 4O-Hour Week

Washington, D. G. 0LNS).-As
long as millions are jobless, there is
no reason for suspension Of the 4G-
hour week for workers in defense in
dustries, in the opinion Of Mrs. Frank
lin d. Roosevelt.
In reply to question by Miss Ger
trudp CaraWay Of New Bern, n. c.,
the Presidents wife wrote in her qucs-
tion-and-answer page in the January
issue Of The Democratic Digest:
at does seem to me that as long
as we have millions still unemployed
who, with q certain amount Of re-
training, are employable, we should
not change the 4O-hour week.
at would appear, on the contrary
that if we need to work more shifts
in order to increase our production
we should employ the unemployed
rather than work those who are at
present employed longer hours"

Loss of Work OnIv
Result Of Outlaw
MovemenfIn Salem
Tinte1s Return To Benches
Monday At lnsistence
Of Headquarters

Salem, Ohio.-At the last regular
meeting of Local Union No. AZ nom
nations for national Offices were in
order and our local president, Richard
Reedy, received the nomination for
third vice president Of the organiza-
ton. We think it would be great to
have a national board member in
Salem. We fiji My believe he would
do good job al fight for all trades.
At the present ne is doing all his
plugging for the warehousemen, which
is only natural, being one himself.
Your O. c. has been appointed cam
paign manager for Brother Reedy.
Members Of No. AZ wish Brother A.
J. Sanders to know he is missed at
the local meetings. Since Pete and
Helen married they just don't seem to
find any time for the organization.
The tinters or spray gunners were
outlawed by our national headquarters
They did not return until Monday of
this week. 1t just goes to show our
members and the trade in general that
it doesn't pay to strike when not
ordered by headquarters. This same
thing occurred about five years ago
when the warehousemen went out on
strike and they returned without any
gain. So when one stoops to thinl;
about it beforehand, they realize moth
ing is gained, only time lost from
their work.
Any Of you members who can find
the time should 60 down to the farm
to see Brother Forest Green who had
an injury several weeks ago when a
bung of ware fell over and chips cut
his eye. We hope his eyesight will
be all right and that he is able to
return to work soon.
The flower fund collector will be
around soon as the fund is getting
low. Every member should pay their
twenty-five cents gladly, as this fund
is only replenished once year. 1t is
used to send five dollar basket of
flowers to members or one of the inn
mediate family when death pays a
call.-O. c. AZ.

Canning Industry
Ready to Toe Mark
Rigid Wage Act Enforce
ment Promised By Head
o. Division

Chicago, Ill.-Rigid enforcement of
the provisions of the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act in the canning
industry during 1941 was promised
here by Col. Philip B. Fleming, Ad-
ministrator, in an address before the
annual convention of the National
Gamers Association. When peak can
ming operations are under way this
year, he declared, the Wage and Hour
Division Of the Department Of Labor
will have a force of LOCO inspectors
covering the canning industry, COM
pared with only 109 inspectors two
years ago.
The current minimum wage of 30c
an hour, he declared, has not entailed
any hardship for the canning indus
try as a whole, pointing out that la
Dor is relatively small item in run
ming a cannery-under II per cent of
the total cost, and much less than the
cost Of the tin cans in which fruit or
vegetables are packed. Labor cost"
he said, "is only one-twelfth Of the
selling value of the product. No other
important industry has so low a wage
cost in proportion to the total value
IF its output"
The Wage and Hour Law, especial
ly under the revised area Of produc-
tion definition and with the seasonal
relaxation Of the overtime provision,
| has imposed no insurmountable
handicap upon the progressive ele-
ments in the canning industry" he
contended. "And when, four years
from next October, the minimum wage
advances to 40c an hour, we believe
you are going to be able to handle
| that, too," he added.

tary-Treasurer George Meany sent a
heartfelt appeal to all organizations

ton of Labor to contribute in the
name of humanity to the Infantile
Paralysis Campaign Fund which
reaches its climax on January 80,

Each year." the letter said, can
appeal has been made to the officers
Of national and international unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, to contribute as liber-
ally as possible to the Infantile
Paralysis Campaign Fund. The re-
sponse which practically all national
and international unions made to said
appeal each year was most gratifying
and highly commendable. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor made a fine
record for generous support to a
great, humanitarian purpose.
"All know the purpose of the cam
paiGn, the cause to which the money
S appropriated. The suffering of the
victims Of infantile paralysis appeals
TO our sentiments, our hearts and our
emotions. We regard the Infantile
Paralysis Campaign Fund movement
as representing a noble cause, having
for its purpose the treatment and re-
lief of the victims of a dread disease,
which for years was regarded as in
durable.
at is our earnest hope that during
the period intervening between now
and January 30th, when the Presi-
dents Birthday will be celebrated
that all organized units Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, and the
members thereof, will contribute gen
erously to the lnfantile Paralysis
Campaign.
"We hope and trust you may in
crease your contribution this year
over the amount your contributed in
other years to this praiscworthy
cause.
"Please send your financial con-
tribution to Mr.. George Meany, Secre-
tary-Treasurer, American Federation
Of Labor, so that your organization,
and the American Federation Of La
Dor, may be given credit for such
contributions as you may all find it
possible to make to the lnfantile
Paralysis Campaign Fund.
'ln conformity with a custom which
was observed in previous years, a
beautiful, huge birthday cake, pre-
pared by union bakers under the aus
pices Of the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers International Union, will be
presented to President Roosevelt on
his birthday. We will be happy to
present to the President at the time
the birthday cake is presented, the
checks which you and your associ-
ates may send to Secretary-Treasurer
Meany as your contribution to the
lnfantile Paralysis Campaign Fund.
A list of the names of the organ
izations contributing, together with
the amount contributed will be pre-
sentcd along with the checks you send

$4,000 Job Rise
During December
New High For Recent Years
Hit With 37.lO0,000
In Industry

Washington, d. C-Secretary Of
Labor Frances Perkins reported that
total non-agricultural employment in
the United States in December was
more than 37,1C0OCO, a new high for
recent years, and 100000 more
than in December 1889. She esti-
mated that approximately $4,000
workers were added in non-agricul-
tural employment in the last month
Of 1870. The major part Of twelve
month gain Of 100000 in non-agri-
cultural employment, she said, was in
the manufacturing and construction
industry.
The employment rise in December
was the largest in eleven years, the
Secretary continued. She explained
that the estimates related to civil non
agricultural employment only and did
not include the Civilian Conservation
Corps, the Works Projects Admins
tration and the National Youth Ad-
ministratiOn nor the armed forces, in
which there was an increase Of G2,OCO
between November and December.
"The major factors in the huge
December increase in employment was
the greater-than-seasonaI gain Of
430,0 600 workers in wholesale and re-
tail trade establishments" Secretary
Perkins said "The hiring Of addi-
tional thousands Of temporary en-
ployes to handle the best Christmas
trade in years brought about the
largest increase in trade employment
on record. Manufacturing industries
continued TO expand under the spur
Of defense expenditures, adding nearly
100000 workers in December.
This gain raised the December
level Of factory employment above
that recorded in any month during
the last twenty-one years.
an the Federal, State and local
government service, not including the
armed forces, the increase Of more
