under 1S years old must keep on
file a certificate showing that she
is at least 16.
A survey by the Labor Depart
ment Children's Bureau in June
showed that girls of 16 and II were
permitted to work in factories in
every State and Territory, but many
have restrictions as to hours which
would not be superseded by the Per-
kins order. Sixteen States require
girl workers to be 16 while the rest
allow employment of IA and IS
year olds.
Since girls between 16 and 18
years old, hitherto have been barred
from working on war contracts, the
Labor Department said it had no
way of estimating the number who
might be added to the production
lines.
Working Mothers Plan.
In the meantime, yesterday Paul
V. McNutt, director of the Office
Of Defense Health and Welfare Serv-
ices, announced he had approved a
plan of the Alabama Department of
Public Welfare for services for the
children of working mothers and had
made grant of $1,000 to help carry
out the plan.
The grant is the first from a
s400, 900 fund for the coordination
and development of wartime child
services. The Alabama plan con-
templates the employment of con-
sultants to be assigned to specific
areas in the State where normal
sources of labor supply are exhausted
and war industries are employing
considerable numbers of mothers.

Labor Department
Opens War Plants
To Girls, Is and II
Secretary Perkins Acts
At Army-Novy Request;
Calls National ParIey

The Labor Department opened
the gates of war plants yesterday
to girls 16 and II years old.
Secretary of Labor Perkins, un-
der authority of the Walsh Healey
Public Contracts Act, which permits
her to exempt employers from the
18-year age limit for women on
Federal contracts. dropped the age
requirement to 16 to permit more
girls to take their places on the
production lines.
She acted at the request of the
War and Navy Departments and
the Maritime Commission, which
found that continuation of the 18-
year limit would impair seriously
the conduct of Government busi-
ness by retarding essential produc-
ton and interfering with the sue
cessful prosecution of the war in
which the United States is engaged
and which requires the complete
utilization of the human and ma
tional resources of the Nation"
The order specifies that the girls
may not be employed contrary to
State laws governing the number
of hours or time Of day they may
work and imposes conditions of en-
ployment to apply generally.
Calls National Conference.
Miss Perkins has called national
conference on labor legislation in
Indianapolis, beginning Tuesday, at
which uniform labor legislation will
be major topic. Department Of
ficials said it was reasonable to as
sumo that the pattern set by the
Perkins order would be advocated
for uniform adoption.
Labor commissioners and repre-
sentatives of organized labor ap-
pointed by the Governors of 40 States
will meet for a two-day discussion
of the problems of adjusting State
labor standards to meet the require
ments of war production.
Other topics to be discussed in
clude hours of work and minimum
wage procedure; manpower problems
involved in adding large numbers of
women, older and handicapped work.
ers and minority groups to the Ma
tion's labor force, and health, safety
and working conditions in war in
dustries.
Secretary Perkins will address the
opening session of the conference
Conditions for Employment.
The Secretary meanwhile made
these conditions for the employment
of 16 and II year olds:
No girl under 18 shall be employed
for more than eight hours in any
one day, or between the hours of
10 pm. and 6 am; no girl under 18
shall be employed in any operation
or occupation hazardous in nature or
dangerous to health; specific lunch
con periods of at least 80 minutes
must be granted, and girls must re-
ceive at least the minimum hourly
rate set by the Fair Labor Standards
Act or the Walsh -Healey Act.

Catholic Hierarchy
Warns Of Postwar
Exploitation
Profit Motive Must Be
Subservient to Common
Coco, , Conference Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Catholic archbishops ana
bishops of the United States de-
clared in a statement yesterday
that ''in the postwar world the
profit element of industry and
commerce must be made sub
servient to the common good of
communities and nations if we
are to have a lasting peace"
The members of the Hierarchy
drafted the statement during two
day session here. They declared
that "in the discharge of our
pastoral responsibility we are
gravely concerned about the world
peace of tomorrow"
/ "Secularism cannot write a real
and lasting peace" the statement
said. "Its narrow vision does not
encompass the whole man, it can
not evaluate the spirituality of the
human soul and the supreme good
of all mankind.
Greed and Expediency.
Exploitation cannot write a real
and lasting peace. Where greedy
might and selfish expediency are
made the substitutes of justice there
can be no securely ordered world,
"Totalitarianism, whether Nazi,
Communist or Fascist, cannot write
real and lasting peace. The state
that usurps total powers by that
very fact, becomes a despot to its
own people and a menace to the
family of nations
''The spirit of Christianity can
write real and lasting peace in
justice and charity to all nations,
even to those not Christian"
The bishops said President Roose-
velt "has given solemn assurance
that the United States has no de-
signs of permanent conquest or
sordid interest,"" but has guaranteed
ito countries under temporary oc-
cupation as well as to our own the
right to live in security and peace"
The United States, the statement
added, has been forced into the
most devastating war of all time"
involving "the most important
moral issue of today. Some nations
are united in waging war to bring
about slave world. We are
associated with other powers in a
deadly conflict against those ma
tions to maintain a free world"
Grave Concern on Home.
Commenting that war brings alb
normal conditions in the life of q
nation, the hierarchy said:
"Our Government has announced
that the war emergency makes it
necessary to employ an unprece-
dented number of women in indus
try. While we are Fundamentally
cooperating with our Government
in the prosecution of the war, we
must, as shepherds of souls, express
our grave concern about the Chris
tian home in our beloved country
IN these crucial days. When moth
ers are engaged in industry a serious
child problem necessarily arises.
Every effort must be made to
limit, as far as necessity permits,
the employment of mothers in in
dustry, particularly young mothers.
Due provision " should be made
for the day care of the children
OF working mothers. The health
and moral welfare of mothers en-
ployed in industry should be thor
oughly safeguarded.
Saying, LET us all unite in prav-
ing for victory and a peace ac-
ceptable to God," the hierarchy pro-
posed that Tuesday, December 8.
the feast of the Immaculate Con-
ception of our Blessed Mother, be
set aside as special day of pra
