Despite the drastic trans
formation OF conditions since the
law was passed. we still have
legislation prescribing 40-hour
week as France had and which
contributed TO her downfall. Our
wage and hour law was designed
TO spread work when serious UNI
employment ruled here.
Penalties were decreed when
wage earnerS worked more than
40 hours, in the form of time
and-half payment for every
additional hour.
But now we are NJ war.
Wars are not won on a 40-hour
week.

were as neat and clean as a racing

had blue eyes and the whlteSt
teeth he had ever seen and full

She was wearing riding brooches
