damage for one year alone OF
$24, $4,000. There were also
90 injuries resulting from the
accidents with consequent In
creased cost and lost time.

CAMPAIGN TO
REPEAL WACE-HOUR
LAW, TERMED PLOT

Cleveland, o. (ILNS).-In the De-
cember issue of The Railroad Train
men, A F. Whitney, Brotherhood of
Railroad Ira n m n S president,
charges that the "dime- -an-hour" bloc
attempt to repeal the wage and hour
law is "diabolical plot against the
war effort" If successful, it would
undermine the morale Of American
workers and cause production to sink
to low levels"
President Whitney says in his
statement, entitled: "They Work for
Hitler:
From Wall Street to Capitol Hill
the hue and cry has been raised
against the wage and hour law. All
the ancient lies about this legislation
are being trotted out once more.
Originally, the dime-an-hour boys
tried everything in their power to OBJ
struct passage Of the law, which pro-
vides for overtime compensation for
all hours worked in excess of 40 in
any one week.

Airplane Plant Guards
Choose AFL Union

Paterson, N. j., (ILNS) Guards
at two plants of the Curtiss Propeller
Division of the Curtiss Wright Corpo-
ration have chosen the Federal Labor
Union, American Federation of Labor
as their collective bargaining agent
in an election conducted under direc-
tion of the National Labor Relations
Board The vote for the AFL union
was 128 and for the Associated Pro
peller Workers, an unafiliated organi-
zation, s. No ballots were cast for
mo union" and II did not vote.
John McEntee, assistant organizer
of the Federal Labor Union, said GER
tifcation of the vote, which he regards
as a certainty, will mark the first in
stance in the United States where the
NRLB has approved a union as the
bargaining agent for guards employed
in war production plants Employers
of such guards, he added, have con-
tended that they, being armed, should
not be members of unions.

of women in certain jobs are not prop
