Overtime Pay Bill
Action Held Unlikely
Before September
Romspeck PIons to Offer
Compromise Measure
With 4 Muin Points
By WILL r. KENNEDY.

Action on the overtime pay
bill, or so-called bonus" bill for
Federal employees, will not be
taken until zfter the Congress
recess following passage of the
tax bill, and probably not until
September, Chairman Ramspeck
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee said today.
Mr.. Ramspeck said he has in mind
compromise proposal to be made
when his committee meets. He
said he hoped to retain the prin-
ciples involved in the administra-
ton sponsored overtime pay bill and
at the same time meet major OBJ
jections raised by various employe
groups.
Four Proposals Listed.
He explained his compromise
would include these provisions:
l. The Saturday half holiday law
would be suspended and heads of
departments and agencies would be
directed to establish for the dura-
ton of the war an administrative
work week OF not less than A hours.
2. Employees would be compen-
sated for work in excess of 40 hours
at time and half rates.
3. Employees who could not receive
any overtime compensation, such as
rural carriers, who are paid on a
mileage basis; special delivery mes
sengers, who are paid on fee basis
and others whose work schedules or
bases Of pay is such that 44-hour
work week is not feasible, would be
entitled to additional pay amount
ing to 10 per cent OF their regular
salary, with a ceiling of $500 per
year on such payments.
a. The salary ceiling on payments
for overtime compensation would be
revised to provide that no overtime
compensa ton should be paid on any
part of an employees salary above
$1,000 year.
Time Factor Stressed.
Mr. Ramspeck pointed out the
existing arrangements for overtime
compensation to employees in the
War and Navy Departments have
been extended by Joint resolution
of Congress only through September
30 1t is therefore of great i'm
portance, he said, that legislation
on this subject be handled before
the first of October
At present, under legislation spon-
sored by the Military and Naval
Affairs Committees and passed by
Congress last year, 100000 en-
ployes or one-half of those in Fed
eral employment are now entitled to
receive payment for overtime. The
pending legislation, sponsored by
the administration, would extend
this benefit to the other half

utility's water rights during low water
periods, when the water agencies pro-
posed to divert water from the river,
and any diversion by the water board

Can Montana Afford to Burn Prosperity?

The absolute necessity for forest
protection is very clearly shown by
the fact that $1,000 or more forest fires
occur in the United States each year,
causing an annual loss Of millions OF
dollars.
The vast timber areas Of Montana
occupy q third Of the state. Timber
resources of the state stand third IN
Importance, being excelled only by the
agricultural and mineral resources
Montana'S forests can be made TO
provide for all needs, and to insure
timber for all development work Of
the state. The forests of Montana full
fill other very important functions IN
the economic and industrial program,
namely: watershed protection for ir-
rigation and power, refugees for game,
and recreational attractions for the
tourist and pleasure seeker.
To a state whose greatest resource
is its agricultural land, watershed
protection and regulation Of stream
flow is of more Importance than most
people realize. Few need to be remind
ed that the prosperity Of Montana IS
dependent largely upon an adequate
supply of water for irrigation, Water,
