advancement of local chess educa-
ton and there comes to mind old
times, old memories and old, dear
friends. I recall when Capital City
Chess Club royalty entertained the
late DR.. Emanuel Lasker, world

Colonna Was Familiar Figure.
Pausing in the Social Chess
Lounge in 1897 it was a common
sight to see tall, broad -shouldered
v. Colonna, leaning over a players
table, intent on the next play and
his massive hands gripping the
curved knob of a large walking
stick. He was the most admiring
kibitzer I have seen in these parts.

Bogoljubov Was Ubiquitous.
You recall the general? He was
everywhere. As Basil Bogoljubov we

day he posed for the art students at

Fourth Shift Solves
l68-Hour Problem

Four-shift operation will solve the
problem of the 168-hour workweek
and get victory production out of the
American industrial machine, Baird
Snyder, Acting Administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, said today.
In his recent address to the nation
President Roosevelt asked for seven
day operations of defense industries.
The Division has had many inquiries
on how the Presidents call for a
seven-day week, "a hours a day, can
be best met under the Fair Labor
Standards Act, which requires that
overtime be paid after 40 hours a
week.
"There is nothing inconsistent about
the 40-hour shift and continuous op-
eration," said Mr.. Snyder. "Many con-
tinuous operation industries-such as
open hearth steel furnaces, electric
power houses, rayon yarn factories,
a i'd transportation organizations
have operated for years on a four
shift basis.
"Since the Presidents request of
June 1910 for maximum defense pro-
duction, several alert manufacturing
organizations have scheduled continu
Gus operation Of their productive ma
chinery through the four-shift sys-
tenn.
planning four-shift system is a
very simple matter. In typical 40
hour week, continuous peration
schedule, three shifts work regular
eight-hour tricks five days a week, &C.
counting for 12O of the 1853 hours in
the week. The swing shift works the
remaining 48 hours on a staggered
basis. Some manufacturers work the
swing shift 40 hours and use the re-
naming eight hours for reconditioning
the machines.
"The swing shift does not work the
same days nor the same hours each
week, but after three weeks it is right
back where it started. Schedules are
usually laid out in three-week cycles.
"We have distributed typical 16S-
hour workweek schedules among our
offices. Our inspectors examining pay
roll records are being instructed to
show any manufacturer who is inter-
ested how he can go on a four shift
continuous operation basis. We re-
alize that these schedules may not be
practical in many operations. Laying
out schedule is easy. The difficult
thing 10 to train additional foremen
and more skilled workers. The de-
fense manufacturer who has not been
training more foremen and workmen
has not been doing a full job. The
Wage and Hour Law with it's penalty
of time and one-half after 40 hours
has been forcing the training of
supervisory personnel and skilled
workers for additional shifts since the
start Of the emergency"

THE POTTERS HERALD
81 Stutes Protect
Workers Credits
Amend Compensation Acts
For Workers Joining
AIMED Forces

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-Thirty-
seven states and Hawaii have amend
ed their unemployment compensation
acts to ''freeze" the unemployment
compensation credits of workers who
have joined the United States armed
forces, Federal Security Administra-
tor Paul V. McNutt said here.
McNutt also said that Congress
would be requested to consider amend
ments to the Social Security Act to
protect rights under the old-age and
survivors insurance system of all
workers who have joined the military
and naval forces, or who have left
covered employment to work in Fed
eral arsenals or other Federal estab-
lishments.
The Social Security Board has about
completed studies of this question, and
the administrator is prepared to make
recommendation for legislation to
protect insurance rights of such work
ers. These studies relate to insurance
credits under both the Federal State
unemployment insurance system and
the Federal old-age and survivors in
surance system.
Amending the old-age and surviv-
ors' insurance provisions to protect
workers who have left covered EN-.
| ployment to serve in the armed forces
or Federal establishments is immedi.
ately necessary" McNutt pointed out
'inasmuch as their insurance benefits
are based upon the length of time they
have been in covered employment anc
their average monthly wages under
the program.
"Any lapse in employment reduce:
the individuals average monthly wage
and the amount Of his benefit, and il
it is sufficiently prolonged, may resul,
in the loss of his insurance protection
under this system"

Possibility

(Confinned From Page One)
75,000,000 who are able to work. At
present we have, all told, approxi-
mately 5O,OOO,0OO who are, as the CEN
sus puts it, "gainfully employed"
That leaves 25,OOO,OOO able to work
who today do not hold jobs-or a
number equal to one-half those who
today do hold jobs.
How many of these could be pulled
into defense industries There is no
way of telling. Most of them are
housewives, and that work has to be
continued. But even when allowance
is made for this, it remains true that
here is perfectly huge potential
labor force that in case of necessity
could be called upon for at least part
time work.
One further point along the same
line: Of the 50,O00,000 gainfully en-
ployed, think how many are in mon
essentail' work-that is, nom essential
to the bedrock defense of our country.
Again, any estimate would be mere
guesswork, but some idea Of the posi-
bilities here can be judged by recall
ing that, of the 5O,0OO,O0O, less than
2O,0OO,OOO are employed in manufac-
turing, mining, construction, transpor-
tation, the utilities, and trade. If
worst comes to the worst, tremen-
dous number can be transferred from
their present occupations to tasks Of
moro iroroodiato honaft
That brings US to the last point:
What of getting more work out of the
existing labor force? This is a ques-
ton of number of hours worked, and
the Bureau of Labor statistics gives
us the data upon which to form a con-
clusion on this, and the figures are
amazing.
In September, the last month for
which statistics are available, each
employe in the manufacturing estab-
lishments of this country worked on
the average only 400 hours a week
or only little more than eight hours
day, five days week. And, of the
fifteen broad groups in which the sta
tistics are divided, the longest av-
erage work week--in the machinery
industry-was only 45.4 hours. That
clearly is not call out" use of a labo,
! force. Lift the average to so hours
week-which is below that worked
in machine-tool factories-and it will
be the equivalent of adding something
like 100000 to our labor force.
To summarize, then, it is clear be-
yond an! question that we have q
labor force even assuming we raise ar
army of four or five million men, ade.
quate to meet any demands that car
be made for military production. Or
this aspect Of the economic problem
facing us, therefore, just as in the
case Of the financing of the war, there
is no possible cause for concern
granting we have sound policies fol.
lowed in Washington.

Druft Plans Call For
Army Of Over 100000

The immediate program for in
creasing the Army will envision
force Of only about 100000 men,
roughly twice the present size. The
whole equipment picture must be
changed to permit more than this.
Congressman don't like the Army's
plan for cutting the draft age to Is.
A likely compromise will be legisla-
tion to permit the drafting of men OF
10 or 20 for training, with provi-
sion that only those who volunteer
will be put into combat service before
reaching 21. incidentally, recently re-
leased selectees and National Guards
men who achieved sergeancies will
probably be called back, given inten-
sive training, and turned into second
lieutenants in about three months. It's
felt they'll be better than many re-
serve officers now coming in.

out that labor has come a long way
in building a better life for all people
and now labor must again be called

that the political and industrial free

ftOHiNHfd fFOW fdOf 'Nfj
At press conference following ad-

ference, Moderator Davis was asked
why the management group had ac-
cepted the three-point formula when
it previously had insisted upon inclu-
sion of fourth point banning de
termination Of the union shop ques-

"the management group previously
had said that if any proposition was
put up to the President, it would
abide by his decision
Davis explained that the labor
policy enunciated by the President
followed the outline presented by SEN
ator Thomas, who Davis said had
summarized the four days of debate
by management and labor representa-
tives by selecting the points on which
they were in general accord.
When the agreement was an

any cause, was happy over the end
