DIRECTED BY PRESIDENT

While Senote Group Re-

WashingtOn.-Jam +. Byrnes, Eco

With the approval of President
Roosevelt, Mr. Byrnes issued an order
vesting in Secretary Wickard control
of farm labor pay rates under $2,4OO
per year. But he adopted Secretary
Wickard's suggestion that such wages
be left free to rise considering that
the general level of salaries and
wages fer agricultural labor is sub
standard; that wide disparity now
exists between salaries and wages
paid labor in agriculture and salaries
and wages paid labor in other essen
tial war. industries, and that the re-
tention and recruitment of agricultural
labor is of prime necessity in supply
ing the United Nations with needed
foods and fibers, and in order to cor
rect and adjust these gross inequities
and to aid in the effective prosecution
of the war"

Farm labor wage controls will be
imposed only if Secretary Wickard
determines they are necessary. Wage

During recent months some firms
have spent large sums of money for
various tests of bodies in changing
body to satisfy government require
ments. They have met china scale
prices in the clayshop, but in the
kilnshed they have made no attempt
to secure china saggers to conform to
china conditions. Several brothers
who have worked in china ware shops
have testified that in the glost stage
particularly, china ware cannot be
conformed to generalware conditions.
You brothers who missed PreSi-
dent Duffy's address at our meeting

ware placing conditions on general
ware shops, should make a special

thereof will not be retroactive;
"Such adjustments shall not furnish

The board made public other orders

Interpretation of some of its recent

New Cotton Picker
Does Work Of Fifty
Results Of Tests In Four
Southern States Told BY
International Harvester

Chicago.-Fowler Mccormick, presi-
dent of the International Harvester
Company, announced development Of
successful mechanical cotton picker
and said tests had proven it capable
of doing the work of from fifty to
eighty hand pickers.
The company finds itself, however,
in the position of not being able to
manufacture more than dozen or SO
because of material restrictions, Mr..
Mccormick said unless the govern
ment decides Il greater number should
be produced as wartime labor say
ing factor.
Mr.. Mccormick said experiments
been carried on by the company for
forty years. He reported that the
problem of developing a successful
machine to relieve the ack-breakina
burden of harvesting cotton. which
requires proportionately more human
labor than any other agricultural
crop, had proven the most difficult de
signing and engineering task in the
history of modern agricultural ma
chinery.
The machine was tested in MiSSiS
sippi, Arkansas and some parts OF
Texas and Arizona, Mr.. McCormich
said, and it can be used in any area
where the height of the cotton plant
is from two to four and a half feet
1t was emphasized, however, that
machine-picked cotton must go to &
gin equipped with cleaning and drying
machinery.

President Burns ended his comment
by declaring that the emergency com
mittee is following the same line of
policy as its predecessors, "the so
called Liberty League and the Ma
tional Economy League" His state
ment in full said:
The Citizens Emergency Committee
speaks of this bill as an 'at1ront to
the nations taxpayers Government
employees pay taxes as well as other
citizens, and tie committee might we'll
take these facts into account before
launching on them.
Most government employees today
are engaged in war work.
Pay Scale Too Low
Their pay scales are based on the
Classification Act of 1923. There has
been no general increase in pay for
government employees in many years,
and no adjustment to meet the in
crease in the cost of living.
The government is finding it in
creasingly difficult to recruit and to
keep on its payrolls vitality needed
employees, because the pay scales are
too low. The turnover records, admit
ted to exceed 80 per cent, speak for
themselves.
Government employees in most
agencies are working "A or 4S hours Il
week officially, and Il great many more
are working overtime beyond those
hours. Yet government officials, teSti-
flying in favor of the pay BILL said
there had been no complaints made
about this overtime, which so far as
most clerical and professional EN-
ployees are concerned, is entirely un-
paid.
Agencies Endorse Bill
"'rhc Bureau of the Budget and the
Civil Service Commission have en-
dorsed the bill to adjust pay by per
mitting overtime payments because
they realize the necessity for getting
the governments work done and know
that they can't hire people TO do it at
wages less than they can earn else
where.
Senator Byrd of Virginia offered
amendments To the DILL Whlch were
accepted, that cover the points raised
by the committee as TO the necessity
for overtime work. The committee
might at least have taken the trouble
TO note that the Byrd amendments will
afford protection against unnecessary
overtime.
The committee, however, seems less
concerned with the needs of the Situa-
ton than with spreading propa ganda
against any improvement IN the con
ditions of n group of hard-working,
conscientious public servants. In this
it is following closely in the steps of
its predecessors, the sO-callcd Liberty
League and the National Economy
League
