Sunday Pay Rotes

The ruling by Secretary of Labor
Perkins that the ban on double pay
Tor Sunday work is applicable only
to workers engaged directly in war
production seems sadly out of line
with the requirements of total war.
What Miss Perkins has done is to
place an Interpretation on the Presi-
dents order which will exempt from
its application all workers employed
by industries which are not engaged
In the manufacture of war products
or of materials which 60 into the
manufacture of such products. The
obvious effect of this, it would seem,
Is to penalize the war workers.
1t should be understood that the
ban on double pay for Sunday work
does not apply If Sunday is worked
as a seventh consecutive day. In
that event double time is paid. But
where Sunday falls within a regular
work week, the worker receiving some
other day of, the Presidents order
presumably provided that he would
receive only the compensation that
would have been paid for a Tuesday
or Wednesday of work. This prin-
ciple was embodied in an agreement
worked out by the President, the
AFL and the CIO. But the voluntary
agreement did not function satisfac-
torily, and the presidential order fol-
lowed.
Prior to the issuance of the order
there had been widespread public
dissatisfaction with the so-called
premium or penalty pay rates. Dou-
BILE time on Sundays was intended
originally to discourage Sunday work
But when the effective prosecution
of the war required Sunday work, the
justification for the penalty rate dis
appeared, and the public demand for
Its abolition became very strong.
What Miss Perkins apparently has
done, however, is to attempt a dis
tinction between war work and non-
war work. But, according to any
definition Of total war, such dis
tinction is purely artificial Is the
man who is producing food for the
soldiers, or the worker producing
consumer goods for the civilian war
worker, less directly engaged in the
war effort than the man who builds
a tank? Miss Perkins, presumably,
would answer in the affirmative, but
1t is not easy to follow such reason
ing.
Certainly, her Interpretation will
make it possible for the So-called
non-war worker to make more money
than war worker. This, in turn,
is bound to complicate the problem
of inducing men to take jobs in in
dustries where they cannot receive
double pay. Aside from the larger
question of the equities involved, this,
of itself, casts serious doubt on the
wisdom of what seems to be last
ditch effort to maintain a fragment
Of one Of our peacetime social
gains"

and economic structures that will
have to take form. This may be ex-
pected to lead the United States far
afield from old concepts OF interna-
tional relations, but it is prospect
which hardly can be avoided. It
would be well for those in this coun-
try, who are demanding an end to
imperialism. benign or otherwise, to
begin now to prepare their minds for
the obligations which this will i'm
pose on them.

To the Editor Of The Star:
From time to time Government ON
cials make conflicting statements con-
corning the draft, rationing. synthetic
rubber and other problems affecting the
Nation as whole. Some OF these state
ments are glowing with optimism, while
others paint the picture very black.
Often neither statement is entirely true.
The people want to know the situation
Is 1t really exists. They can take any
thing that may be coming. On the
other hand, unnecessarily pessimistic
statements serve only to lower the peo-
pies morale.
Usually, conflicting statements are
made, because the big shots' cannot

Denies Second Front
Is Military Problem.
To the Editor Of The Sta


The proponents of an immediate Sec
ond front have been much criticized on
the ground that military matters should
be left to the military leaders, it being
implied that the opening OF new front
is purely military problem.
These critics are wrong. A question
Of broad strategy, including such vital
matters as our relations with an allied
nation, our conviction that we want an
energetic military policy, our determina-
tion to carry through our international
obligations are manifestly politi-
cal matters, matters for the people.
Democratic leadership welcomes ex-
preston from the people. It is the duty
of every American to inform himself as
to the issues in the war, form opinions
and express those opinions. This COM
bination of responsive leadership and an
alert. ready people is the key to victory.
If we want second front, let's tell
'em so.
Military leaders do not declare war
we do. Then it becomes their duty to
work out the tactics that will success
fully accomplish the policies we deter
mine upon. That is the significance Of q
peoples government. That is a require
ment of peoples war.

Hugh E. Sheridan, impartial chair
