Wdge-Hour Act Chief
Envisions Worldwide
Minimum Pay Rates

Chicago OLNS).-AdminiStr l..
Metcalf Walling of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (wagehour law) SAID
here that the principles of the act can
and should be applied to all nations
through establishment of international
unions after the war.
In the postwar world we must
realize that just as the labor condi-
tiOns of Alabama affect those of Penn
sylvania, so labor conditions in India
and China will have Il decided effect on
wages earned by American workers,
he told the 5Oth anniversary convention
of the Upholsterers' international
Union of North America.
"It is to our self-interest that work
ers in other countries receive a fair
and decent wage under proper working
conditions. Not only will this help
eliminate cut-throat competition be
tween countries but the higher the
wages of the workers in other countries
the greater will be the potential mar
kets for American goods.

WORKERS SAVINGS
(FrOm "Labor's Monthly Survey
AFI)

(From "Labor's Monthly Survey"
AFL)
Workers will need provisions for
emergencies after the war, and the
country needs their stored up buying
power. The first way to provide against
excess buying power is through more
adequate social security provisions, by
amending the Social Security Act. Pay
roll contributions under that act are
invested with the Government and will
help to finance the war as we'll as pro-
vide against emergencies. In this
double service lies the advantage OF
this proposal over any compulsory say
ings plan.
Wage increases place an obligation
on union members to save more and
invest more for war financing. For it is
labor'S responsibility To see that luxury
buying does not swell the demand for
scarce civilian goods and thus strain
price ceilings.
From now forward we must limit
our buying To essentials. This is one of
the greatest contributions we can make
toward winning the war and every one
of us can make it.

LondOn.-Of the emplOyable popula
ton of Britain over two-thirds are en-
gagged in some form of war service
The fact was stated in Parliament by
Mr. Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour,
who gave some striking figures to illus
trate the breadth and intensity of the
British war effort. No country in the
manpower to such an extent as Britain
has had to do in this war.
The population of the United King
dom between the age-limits of insur-
able employment is about 1874 million
that is, every man, woman and child
between the ages of II and 50.
OF this total, % million are now en-
ployed or occupied in industry, civil de-
fense or the armed forces.
That leaves something less than II
million, but they are certainly not all
idle.
Voluntary and Time Workers
Included in that balance of II mil
lion are large numbers of part-time and
with domestic responsibilities (thOu-
sands of whom are rendering national
serverice by providing board and lodg-
ing for billeted workers and evacueeS),
workers in domestic service, and many
thousands of persons giving voluntary
unpaid service in canteens, nursery
schools and so on.
Children of school age and quite a
number of older boys and girls still
being educated are not included in the
total of % million fully occupied war
workers in uniform or in industry.
There are a large number of persons
too, who are not capable of work on
account of sickness or other physical
infrmity, such as blindness or disable
ment. 1t would be incorrect to say none
of these are doing war work; many
sightieSS persons are helping, for in
stance, in Il variety of ways. The
Minister calculated that if all could be
counted among the II million who are
not directly and fully occupied in wal
service, another two million at least
|
lively occupied population.
Million In Essential Work Scheme
The extent of the industrial effort
now proceeding is indicated by another
striking figure.
The Minister revealed that the mum
ber of workers now covered by the ES
sential Work scheme is rising to
million. That means closely int
grated and vitality important group OF
war trades, operating under Govern
ment direction in which conditions OF
employment are strictly regulated.
How are the workers in these trades
reacting to the necessary standards OF
discipline which have to be maintained
Ernest Bevin dealt with that point b.!
showing that the number of disciplin
ary cases under Essential Work order:
affected no more than one per 1O,OOl
of the total covered by these orders
Penalties have been imposed only il
the proportion of one per $4,000 since
the Essential Work scheme came int
force.

Pay Cut Seen Only Result
Of 48-Hour-Wee Law

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 14.-Pas-
sage Of a 48-hour work week law by
Congress, State Labor Commissioner
John Hopkins Hall said today, would
mean nothing more than q decrease
of about 8 per cent in the weekly
wages of industrial workers.
All workers in Virginia war indus
tries are now working a 48-hour
week, Mr.. Hall said, and the con-
gressional act would eliminate their
time-and-a-half overtime for the
hours worked over 40 hours per week.
This, he added, would represent a
decrease in wages Of about per
cent.
The labor commissioner said the
48-hour- week law would not increase
the time now worked in Virginia in
dustries, and passage of the bill
would decrease the purchasing power
of the wage earners, decrease their
morale, and therefore decrease pro-
duction."
Mr.. Hall said that If the 48-hour-
week bill is passed, Congress should
stipulate at least 10 per cent in
crease in the hourly wage to take up
the slack which he stated would be
created by the elimination of the
overtime now paid for hours over 40.
Cost of living in Virginia, he said,
had increased about II per cent since
1910, and even now, with the 40
hour-week and the overtime, many
wage earners are finding 1t difficult
to make ends meet"

would be followed to avoid an addi-
tional Nationwide registration al
the time coffee rationing begins.
The purpose of coffee rationins
is to insure a fair distribution o.
the entire supply Of coffee in the
United States" Mr.. OLeary added
Consumers who have in their pos.
session more conee Jnan they neec
currently have a disproportionate
share. They should use up theil
excess before they are permitted tt
draw further on the common stock
And they should use it at exactly
the same rate as If they had pro.
cured it through the regular ra.
ton rules"
Mr.. OLeary said that coffee
stamps in the ration books OF chill
dren ineligible to buy coffee must be
left in their books and surrendered
at the time war ration book No.
is issued.
Appropriate action will be taker
when it is found that the coffee
stamps of childen whose age AZ
shown on their war ration book il
less than Is and those of consumers
with excess supplies are missing
from their book No. l." he added.

Eastern trains will be working
under general slow down by
Christmas, and probably nowhere
in the country is there assurance
that every one who wants to 20
away for Christmas can get a reser-
vation.
I'VE don't know how heavy troop
movements will be in December,
and If we knew we couldn't tell"
the spokesman said. The railroads
carried 6,500,000 servicemen travel
ing under Government orders in
the first nine months of this year.
Train Schedules to Be Revised.
The showdown will be brought
about by a general revision of time
tables proposed by the War Produc-
ton Board, effective December s.
Under it the Broadway Limited and
the Goth Century Limited, crack
New York-to Chicago trains of the
Pennsylvania and New York Gen.
tral Railroads, respectively, will add
one hour time to their schedule.
Other Eastern trains will slow
down accordingly, so that passenger
trains will operate under rearranged
schedules which will permit exist
ing equipment to carry more people
and to adhere more closely to
schedules.
The move was expected to relieve
increasing irregularity in East Coast
travel. Frequently in recent months
passenger trains have been side
tracked to let freights by-especially
on lines carrying arms to the sea-
board. In most such cases, however,
this has occurred only where the sid
ing happened to be too small to hold
a 60-car freight but could accom-
modate 10-car passenger train.
In some instances badly needed
carloads of steel destined for war
plants have been hitched to fast
passenger trains, setting some new
records for overland freight hauls.
ODT so far has not recognized or
sanctioned any priority control over
passenger space by railroads or bus
lines. However, ODT officials said
that in some cases railroads might
have imposed a semblance of such
control simply by holding back a
few tickets for last minute emer-
gency use of military or Govern
ment officials travelling on defense
business.
