and Hour Law basically protects.
For instance, before the law be-
came effective many workers in
textile industries were among the
lowest paid in the nation. Weekly
pay checks of SIS and S. were not
uncommon. Only through con-
tinuous efforts in their behalf has
it been possible to bring the mini
mum wage for textile workers
to 40 cents an hour. This was
done by a wage order for the
industry, issued by the Wage and
Hour Law Administrator, which
became effective as recently as
April 20, 1912.
On the basis of 40 hours a week,
this means that the minimum wage
which a worker in that industry
now may receive for those 40
hours of work is $16-not a very
handsome pay check. But just how
important this increased wage
minimum is to textile workers is
illustrated by the fact that the
wage order directly affects ap-
proximately 10000 workers in
the industry.
Action of the Wage and Hour
Division in connection with the
textile industry affords a splendid
illustration of the operations of
the machinery provided in the
Wage and Hour Law for increas-
ing minimum wage levels. The law
provides that the Administrator
appoint committees to study eco
nomic conditions in various in
dustries with the view of increas-
ing minimum wage levels, up to
a maximum of 40 cents an hour,

Fed Up On Dies

Like "the man who came to
dinner" Martin Dies and his UNI
American committee have over
stayed their welcome.
The daily press greeted him with
open arms when he began his
witch-hunt against New Dealers,
labor unions and anyone who ever
had a liberal thought. And no
matter how scurrilous, wild and
unproven his smear campaigns
have been, the business-controlled
press continued to play him up
and defend him, with very few
exceptions.
But lately, the fact there is a
war on seems finally to have per-
colated into even the most con-
sentative editorial offices; and
there has developed a noticeable
press GOODNESS toward the Dies
committee.
The Analysis of Newspaper OPP
inion of the James S. Towney
Associates reveals that as much as
As per cent of the daily press I'M

wasting public money in his at

ment employees. Obi investiga-
ton of some LOO employees nam

fired.) These papers said Dies
should be silenced.
Another % per cent of the daily
press stood by their former ap-
proval of the Dies committee, but

The Towney Associates comment
that almost all recent activities
of Dies have been of a type re-
quiring that portion of the press
which strives to. support him to
take an apologize, defensive atti-
tude in explaining his actions"
When even the millionaire press
finds Dies. too hard to defend,
that's a sure sign he has over
stayed his welcome with all think
ing Americans who want national
unity to win this war.

wherever possible. Such COM
mittees are composed of an equal
number of representatives of en-
ployers in the industry being
studied, employees, and the public.
The first such committee named
for the textile industry recon-
mended that the wage minimum
be increased from the 30-cents an
hour minimum required by the
law to 32R cents. The Administra-
tor approved the recommendation
and issued a wage order in that
amount, effective October "a, 1899.
When it appeared that further ad-
iustment could be made in the
industry, a second committee was
appointed. This group recon-
mended that the minimum be in
creased to 37R cents an hour, and
a wage order in that amount was
made effective of June 30, 1941.
The 40 cent an hour order, effec-
tive April 20, 1912, therefore, was
the third wage order issued in
the textile industry following COM
mittee recommendation.
Wage orders also have been
issued for more than 40 other in
dustries. Like the case of the tex
tile industry, some of the other
industries also were affected by
more than one wage order.
Although the statutory minimum
wage will become 40 cents an
hour by law on October "a, 1945,
wage orders issued on the basis
of industry committee recommen-
dations to date have established
40 cent wage minimum for work.
ers in AZ industries. Some wage
orders, issued in recent months,
were influenced by the war boom,
but most were established on the
basis of normal business condi-
tons, which warranted an increase
of wage levels to the hundreds
of thousands of workers directly
affected.
But, it is obvious, many workers
in American industry still do not
receive a wage which enables them
to maintain an adequate standard
of living for themselves and their
families. The huge profits S
lated with war still have not
seeped down far enough to bring
material benefit to all wage
earners.

500 Loop Average;
Siewert Top Scorers

Grabbing off close, 1851
victory over Monroe's tough but
unfortunate ayers, Mou n {
Clemens stayed in the running
for the Border Cities League
crown last night in a game
played on Monroe's floor.
The victory gives the Bathers
a 500 average in league play
with only Wyandotte left to
play in the first round.
Big Ralph Siewert again
proved the margin of superiori-
ty for the Bathers last night,
though the entire team shared
heavily in the scoring. The 6
foot 8 center poured in Is
points, including free throws.
1915 LEAD AT HALF
Barely able to step ahead of
their opponents as the first quar-
ter ended the locals opened up
a 1915 lead at the half time.
With only minute left to play,
the Bathers led, 1927, but a
short shot by Mel Curry and a
gun-inspired shot by Thompson
pulled the losers within five
points of the city highers.
The game opened at a rapid
pace with the lead frequently
changing hands. Siewert and
Curry matched a pair of free
throws to start things off and
then Heinie Mordan, Bather for
ward, dropped one from the
sideline to give the locals 81
lead which was quickly coun-
tered by Monroe's Bud MCGEE,
who earned a free throw on his
bucket and made it 4-3. Sic
werts two charity losses kept
Coach Ernest Buckholz' team in
the game, but Curry and Bentley
gave the losers an 8-5 margin
only to see Siewert and Bob
Plegue hit from the field for a
9-8 margin for city high. Pratt's
goal again turned the game, but
Lyle Bliss, Bather guard, falling
away from the basket, sunk a
dizzy shot in the final minute of
the first quarter for a lilo edge
and the Bathers were never
threatened again.
CAPTAIN FORCED OUT
Capt. Vic Pratt of Monroe was
forced from the game on fouls
with four minutes of the final
period remaining and was fol-
lowed by Siewert in the final
minute. Unable to stem Mon
roe's fast break in the first
quarter, the Bathers gradually
wore down their shorter oppo-
nents and had things much their
own way in the last three Pc
RODS, holding a s31-21 margin
their largest-mid-way of the

SINKS FROM MIDDLE
Most sensational player on
the floor was a former reserve
for Monroe, Crawford, who came
into the game in the second
quarter and proceeded to bonn
bard the basket from the center
of the court, sinking four bas-
kets from far out.
Plegue and Ken Strassburg
contributed heavily to the Bath
er victory while MCGEE and
Crawford stood out for the
losers. Next game for the Bath
ers is with Wyandotte on the
