BY PETER EDISON

The one point about the gov
ernments wartime wage stabili-
zation program which will sur
prise and please people the most
is that ii is possible to get a
raise, and that nearly 10 mil
lion workers are completely
exempt from wage freezing con-
trolls.
In the first place there is no
wage control for employees of
small business, and that is in
terpreted to mean every one of
the LIS million employers who
has not more than eight employ
es on his payroll. Right here
some five million workers are
exempted. Authority for this is
in War Labor Board General
Order No. 4. 1t covers small
stores, filling stations and the
like. But any employer, such as
the operator of a chain of stores
who may have eight or less en-
ployes in every one of his stores,
is not exempt if the total num-
Der of his employees is nine or
more. A man running two busi-
nesses-a hot dog stand and a
shoe shine parlor, for instance
with only four employees in
one and five in the other would
have to get government permis-
sion TO give the help a raise.
Similarly, in the case of a
negotiated wage agreement for
say all the printing shops in any
city, or all the plumbing repair
shops, then all the workers en-
ployed in any of these shops
would come under government
control, even if there were only
two or any number of employees
less than eight working in an
independently owned establish
ment entering into the trade as
ISOLATION agreement.
DOMESTIC EXCLUDED
The two million domestic
servants of the country are also
excluded from wage control or

ders. Another big group of en-
ployees whose pay may be nor
mally increased are the three
million employees of state, Dis
trict Of Columbia, county, NUM-
cipal or territorial governments.
That covers garbage collectors,
policemen, tax collectors and the
like. The federal government is
given wartime jurisdiction over
local government wages and
salaries under the sterilization
order, but this authority is de-
legated to the heads of local
governments by WLB General
Order No. IL. All the local Of
ficials must do is see that four
copies of the wage increase or
der are sent to the Joint Com
mittee on Salaries and Wages,
Department of Labor.
Wages and salaries fixed by
federal or state statutes are COM
pletely exempt. Control over the
pay scales of the more than a
million civilian employees Of the
War and Navy Departments has
been delegated to the secretaries
of War and Navy by WLB Cen
eral Order Nos. IA and 10.
Wages paid IN any territory
except Alaska are exempted
from sterilization control by
WLB General Order No. 8. That
would of course apply to places
like Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Wages of all farm workers
receiving less than $4,000 q year
which would take in over
three million hired hands-are
similarity exempted from con-
troll of WLB and placed under
the jurisdiction of the secretary
of agriculture.
FLEXIBILITY PROVIDED
Machinery for federal wage
sterilization enforcement has
been set up SO that it would not
interfere with previously es-
tablished agencies having con-
troll over wage standards or
wage mediation boards. This is
part of the original Presiden-
tial order establishing the wage
sterilization program. 1t means
that new decisions of the Wage
and Hour Division, setting new
minimum wage up to 40 cents
an hour in some industry prev
iously not under the Fair La
Dor Standards act provisions,
would stand. Wage increases
called for by state minimum
wage laws are similarly exempt
ed. This also applies to wage
scales paid to private companies
holding government contracts
and working under the Walsh
Healy act, as well as to hold
ers of contracts on government
construction projects under the
Davis-Bacon act.
Wages of women may be in
creased to the same rates paid
men doing similar work without
prior government approval, I'M
der WLB General Order No. 16.
Ultimately, this may serve to
increase the wages of from four
to ten million women industrial
workers.
In all the exceptions men,
toned above, there is one i'm
portant condition. An employ
er may make any of these per-
mitted increases he likes, but he
can not use these increases as a
basis for demands that the prices
of the goods he makes or the
services he performs be in
creased in any way. That's to
control initiation.

Crosby was recovering from a
cold which had kept him in bed
two days earlier but was game
to try anything. De Wolfe start
ed off in fine fettle, performing
spectacular backward k k S
while the others held him up,
but the stage floor was too slick
ly polished and on the second
take he made spectacular two
point landing, cracking the
back of his head on the bottom
step of the stage set.
No sooner had de Wolfe been
given emergency treatment than
Toy met with an accident. Foy
and de Wolfe formed an in
verted V-arch with two feet,
clinging to one another's hands
in ring-a r o u n d-a-rosy pose,
while Crosby and Overman
pirouetted daintily through the
arch. Foy was accidentally
kicked in a vital srot when de
Wolfe's foot slipped, and re-
tired in panied silence to the
sidelines.
COMES DISASTER
The ballet picked up with de
Wolfe and Foy reclining in
swanlike Pavlova poses at the
foot of the steps, while Crosby
and Overman tripped rapidly
past them and struck pose.
Overman whipped off his skirt
and clapped it behind his blond
wig in a sort of halo effect,
while Bing went into a pose on
the toes of one foot, the other
leg extended and steadied by
Overman.
Only trouble was that Bing's
wig fell over his eyes, he mis-
calculated the space for his toe
stance and fell flat on his face.
When it was determined that
the Groaner was still in one
piece, play was resumed on the
40-yard line.
