Navy Commander Was
Once Boiler Shop Worker

Baltimore, Md. ULNS). - Admiral
Ernest j. King, Commander-in-Ch Chief of
the United States Navy, once worked
on the old Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling Railroad as 'rivet heater
in the boiler shop at Lorain. Ohio, says
the Il. & o. Magazine.
He was a high school student and
as vacation time began he asked his
father, James, who was boiler fore
man for the c. l.. & w. then, if he
could go to work and not go back to
school. The father got him the boiler
shop job, an unpleasant one at best
and worse in the hot days of summer.
BY Fall, Ernest was ready to 90 back
to school again. The father remained
with the c. l.. 4 w. until after 1t taken
over by the Il. & o.
Ernest's brief mechanical experience
in the railroad shop stood him we'll in
later years when he was at the Naval
Academy. Instructors then often were
surprized at his practical knowledge
of machinery.

Local Makes Contribution
To Ambulance Fund: Two
Members Suspended

Trenton, n. J.-At the last regular
meeting of Local 81 best wishes We're
extended to two more of our brothers
leaving for the armed forces: Brother
Stanley Mack, who is joining the Army
and Brother Alex PilOwski, who has
vOlunteed for the Navy. All of us take
this opportunity to wish them, and
those who have gone before, the best
of luck. We who remain at home renew
our pledge to do our part in every way
possible. Together we will win.
AS an additional effort to win the
war, the Local makes it's first contri-
button to the Ambulance Fund this
week, and four brothers are volunteer
ing as blood donors Brothers Urka,
Bilancio, Wishart and Roseijk jka, the
latter volunteering for the second time.

appeared before the Board to argue the
case, and Local 81 unanimously passed

is felt that such ruling is entirely
unnecessary, and would only serve as
club over the heads of the teachers,
leaving them completely dependent on
the whims of one individual for their
increases in salary.
Brothers V. GWymski and V. NiresN
We're suspended for non-payment of
dues. There may be some question, as
to the ability of brothers, who will not
pay their dues, to get along without the
union, but it is quite certain, that while
we strive to include everyone possible,
the union can manage to get along
without those who do not find it pos
sible to pay dues.-O.C. 81.

placed at every fifth machine in the

Washington, ID. C.-The Wage-Hour
Act received a boost and blow from
the Supreme Court in two decisions.
The court, by an S-tO-1 majority,
held that the law requires payment at
time and one-half rates for overtime
work, even though an employe may be
earning far above the minimum wage
fixed by the act.
This favorable ruling was offset by
another, handed down by 5-to-4 vote,
which sustained the right of an EN-
plOyer to get around the time-and-one-
half provision by making individual
contracts with his workers.
The first opinion upheld a back pay
suit brought by William H. Missel
against the Overnight Motor Trans
portation Company of Baltimore. The
company had worked Missel overtime,
but based extra pay on the former
statutory minimum of 30 cents an
