KILLING THE GOOSE

He reported that Germany last
spring increased the work week to
seventy and eighty hours, with the
result that production spurted for
two months and then declined until
it was not as great as under a forty
eight-hour week. These reports, he
said, came from intelligence SER
vices.
On his inspection tour of the coun-
try'S war plants in September, Mr..

FDR UphOlds 4O-HOur Week;
Explodes Lies Of Labor 'sFoes

WASHINGTON, d. Presi-
dent Roosevelt put his foot down
firmly on pOst-electiOn attempts to
resuscitate legislation designed to
abolish the basic 4O-hour week
standard for overtime in war in
dustries.
The Presidents statement made
at White House press conference,
exploded the lies of anti-Iabor agi-
tatOrs who are seeking to confuse
the public by making it appear that
increasing the basic work week
would increase production.
NOW WORKING 48 HOURS
The Chief Executive emphasized
that the actual working week in this
country in the production of most i'm.
portant war goods is 48 hours-over-
time being paid for work beyond 40
hours. The average working week in
all war industries, the President said,
is between 46 and AZ hours.
Thus the campaign for ''Ionger
work week. was exposed as merely
an attempt to cut the pay of Amer
lean workers by removing the pres
emit legal compulsiOn to pay over
time for hours in excess of 40 a
week.
On the general subject of longer
work week, the President made it
clear that production is not increased
when hours of work are heightened
much beyond 48 week.

A few days afterwards, l was
sitting in my Office as secretary of
the district Central Body, when
Orchard came in and introduced him
self. He stated that he had been
appointed chairman of the Political
Committee, "and I don't know any
thing about it. While you have this
kind of work at your fngertips I
wish you would act as secretary and
go ahead and do what you think
should be done. Call upon me if I
can help you," he said.
PLEASANT PERSONALITY
I found Orchard a very easy man
to work with. He never interfered
with anything that I suggested.
He was a well-built person about
1870 pounds in weight, likeable fell
low with laughing blue eyes who
made friends easily. l found that
he was owner and operated a
gambling house on the side of Old
Bull Hill. He was member of
the Altman Miners Union Local 10,
of the Western Federation of Miners.
That Famous union won the eight
hour days for its members back in
1892. I had been made an honorary
member of the same union.
A PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER
Things were in very unsettled
condition, due to the mining strike
that was in progress at that time.
Orchards gambling business had
sIumped. So Orchard left the dis
trict, and was, / was informed, op-
Grating a similar business among
the workers on the Moffat Short
Line Rail Road from Denver to
Salt Lake City which was then
under construction.
EXPLOSION KILLS Is
About two months after he was
appointed chairman of the political
committee, Orchard returned to the
district. Coincident with his return,
the explosion occurred at the indie
pendence Depot in which Is strike
breakers were killed. Orchard left
the state shortly after the explosion.
The political committee included
not only union men but large num-
Der of other citizens, and despite the
fact that a great number of the strlk-
ing miners had left the county, we car
ried the election for the Democratic
ticket. No part of the results, how
ever, could be credited to Orchard
who had proved to be chairman of
the committee in name only.
