Court Backs Order
On Women S Wages
Appeals Body Sustdins The
RIGHT Of Commissioner To
Set Minimum Scale
SPLIT 4-3 ON DECISION
Ruling Fixes Principle For
Pay Whether A Full Week
Is Worked Or Not

Albany, n. Y.-The power of the In
dustrial Commissioner under the Mini
mum Wage Law to fix minimum
wage standards in industries employ
ing women and minors was upheld III
a to decision by the Court of Ap-
peals.
The decision, involving a minimum
wage order for the confectionery in
dustry, holds that the statute permits
such orders to require the payment OF
reasonable hourly rate of wage for
fixed minimum number Of hours in
Il work week.
Judge Desmond wrote the prevailing
opinion, while Judge Finch delivered a
dissenting opinion, Judges Lewis and
Conway concurring.
The case will now 90 back to the
special term for proceedings not in,
consistent with this opinion.
The ruling is regarded as one of the
most important decisions in long-tern1
results to labor that has ever beel
handed down by the court. 1t is looked
decision of the Supreme Court on the
now famous minimum wage law fol
| women from which this decision stems
The case was that of Mary Lincoln
Candies, Inc, vs. the Department OF
Labor, Freda S. Miller ct al Miss
Miller has issued wage order recon-
mended by the wage board fixing 6
guaranteed 3-day weekly wage for al
called to work in any work week il
Il factory operated for three or more
days week in the busy season anC
Il similar 2-day provision in the Slacl
season.
The order was intended primarily
to stabilize wages i'm this State in in
duStrieS where women are largely EN-
plOyed at Sutmaintaenance levels anC
to create firm basis for wages ION &
decent maintenance standard"
With the exception of Buffalo, The
industry in the State has largely com
piled with the order. However, the
effect of this order will be to eXtent
to all Industries ultimately affected
by the Minimum Wage Law, the prin
cipe that IL basic weekly STANDARD
wage can be enforced whether The
worker is employed the full week ol
not.
The majority opinion contains this
significant statement:
The very concept of minimum wage
legislation necessarily involves the de
termination of the cost of living ant
the fixing of Il wage that will reason
ably cover, or approach, that cost y
wage sufficient TO provide IL deccn
standard of living would sometimes
exceed the strict bargain and sail
value of the workers services
Another result as applied TO mel
may follow if the Federal Fair Labo
| Standards Act, known as the Wag
and Hour Law, which governs botl
men and women, is subsequently made
TO conform. The Federal law wa

It did not disclose the scene of

infantry and tank forces north

German base 165 miles north

The Nazi command said the

Red Star said the situation at

Playground
Notes

This weeks playground activ-
tiles were highlighted by Tues
days championship contests in
j~ackstones and jacknife events,
won by Carol Hynes and Billy
Peltier, respectively -. The
championship matches climaxed
a week of competition which
was followed up this week with
a 'sand-modeling contest for all
of the children on the seven city
Fairgrounds; three prizes we're
awarded the winners at each
site.
Soap carving is to be the con-
test subject for next week.
AT Grant, where 1913 children
are registered, a girls Softbaii
team was organized with Helen
Schinkai as captain; the boys
team has chalked up several
victories over the other schools.
-. Sand modelling winners at
Grant were Betty Gay Baxter
with an Indian villag, Edward
Kanyer with a submarine har-
Dor and Marilyn Perkins,
Despite a rain on Monday, a
number of children turned up
at st. Mary's playground, where
a Major Bowes program was
held under the direction of
supervisor Mary Margaret Muir
ply. A girls volleyball
team has been formed there
with Edna Moore as captain. +.
The boys at the field are still

popular, along with handicraft
-. Under the direction of Mar
garet DeLaRue, handicraft SUI
pervisor for all Fairgrounds,
dolls were made this week from
picnic spoons and crepe paper.
The Lincoln school girls, who
won two softball games from
the Wilson girls on Wednesday,
turned in a surprising perform
ance on the same afternoon
when they challenged the boys
of the playground to two games
and won both of them.
At Grant, a number of the
boys pitched in to rebuild the
sand boxes earlier in the week
and are now looking forward
with enthusiasm to the coming
pet contest. Winners in the
sand modelling contest at Don
aldson school were Marjorie
Morgan and Richard Morgan,
who won first and second prize
respectively.

FIREWORKS SURE
On the Democratic ticket, for
the prosecutors post, will APP
pear the name of Malcolm E..
Trombley, energetic and we'll
known former circuit court
commissioner and one that any
candidate may well fear. He
may not have opposition on his
own ticket although the exact
spot former prosecutor Vincent
l.. Fitzgerald will occupy in the
approaching elections is not yet
clear. "Vince", if he runs, would
be bound to give Mac" a tus-
sic; although indications r
that he may toss his fedora into
the state representative race in
stead.
THE BIG ONE
The always attractive office
of sheriff is certain to hold its
usual interest. So far the in
Sheriff Jacob F. Theut

the dignity of the post
may alter that situation. Or the
COP ticket ex-sheriff Robert c.

tvs chief law-enforcement po-

CONGRESS
In the primary race for Rep

that important office with - it

FIVE HOPEFUL
The race for the office of
county representative
in the state legislature is sure
to attract a more than usually
impressive crop of candidates.

Is already openly in the race
