Small Businessmen
Assured Consideration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(P)
The government intends to as
sure the small businessman
and his customers-of a fair
share of merchandise now linn
tied by wartime economy.
Beginning in the second quar-
ter of the New Year, the volume
of merchandise that big stores
and wholesalers may accumu-
late will be limited to the small
level in relation to sales as each
maintained before the nation
entered the war.
The new order which does not
Apply to inventories of food or
petroleum products, was an
nounced last night by the war
production board. The purpose,
said WPB Chairman Donald M.
Nelson, is to assure a fair dis
tribution of the limited quanti-
ties of consumers good avail
able under a war economy"

Failure Seen for ATTEMPTS to Rewrite Labor Laws
Administration
Supporters Say
Move 10 Fail
Mead Predicts
40.Hour Week
Here to Stoy
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29-(R

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29-(R
- Administrat IN supporters
predicted failure today for any
attempts by what they termed
"reactionary elements" to re-
write the nations labor laws in
the next congress.
Senator Mead (D-NY) assert
ed that legislation setting up a
basic 40-hour week in industry
would Withstand any assault in
view of general public knowl-
edge that this legislation does
not limit the total hours in
which a man may work"
Meanwhile, another aspect of
the labor picture appeared again
in a letter in which Senator
Bailey (D-NC) criticized Chair
man Paul v. McNutt of the war
manpoWer commission for his
refusal to condemn imposition
of union initiation fees and dues
upon war plant workers.
Bailey yesterday made public
correspondence with McNutt in
which the latter asserted re-
sponsible labor leaders were
trying to control "the occasional
irresponsible leader who en-
courages practises of extortion."
Bailey said he interpreted
McNutts letter as approval of
the imposition of initiation fees
in cases not involving large sums
and declared a manpower pol
icy based on such premise was
doomed to failure"
Mead before leaving for New
York for the rest of the holidays,
told reporters fifty million
average Americans know there
is no prohibition against any
man working more than 40
hours a week, despite efforts
of some to make it appear that
the basic 40-hour week law has
slowed down production of mu-
nitions."
Twenty million war workers
going home to families embrac-
ing thirty million more persons
provide the answer to this ques-
ton" Mead commended. These
workers and their families know
that they put in 48 hours, many
much more, every week.
These workers and their
families can't be confused by
propaganda that lxw which re-
quires extra pay for overtime is
q law to prohibit a worker from
staying on the job past 40 hours
q week."
He added that this group
would form the nucleus of re-
sistance to any attempt to
change the basic work week,
and added "they will be joined
by many large employers who
have come to look upon the law
as desirable"
