For War Jobs

Washington, D. c. ULNS). EN-
ployment of physically handicapped
workers is steadily growing, as the
result of the demand for labor in wal
and civilian industries
The War Manpower Commission is
planning the placement of disabled
service men and physicallay handi-
capped men and women in many in
dustries, including industrial diamond
cutting and stenography. The handi-
capped constitute reservoir OF "un-
used man power" estimated to contain
100000 persons.
The latest step toward solution OF
the problem of finding work for the
physically handicapped is an agree
ment recently concluded by manage
ment and labor in the diamond cutting
industry under which disabled vet
Grams of the Army and Navy will re-
with age limits waived.
The cutting of small diamonds for
industrial uses employed about 25,OOO
people in Holland and Belgium until
the NaZiS conquered the two nations.
Now the United States is trying to
make itself self-stficient i'm this highly
skilled and important craft. Most of
the work is being done in New York

ticeship programs in other cities.

Florida Supreme Court
Refuses To Stop Suit
Aguinst Closed Shop

Tallahassee, Fla. ULNS). - The
Florida Supreme Court has refused to
stop il suit through which Attorney
General Watson is attempting in a
lower court to invalidate closed union
shop contracts between the Tampa
Shipbuilding Co. and 10 American
Federation Of Labor unions. The deci-
sion was 4 TO g. There was no written
opinion.
The court was asked by the unions
to stop the suit because they We're not
parties to it. They said they would
nave no opportunity to defend their
rights in the contracts unless they were
heard in the court.
Watson replied that his suit con-
cerned what he described as an invalid
contract by the Tampa Shipbuilding
Co. because it's charter from the state
did not give it authority to make closed
shop labor contracts.

emphasized that il in no way affected
the provisions of the Wage Hour Law
for overtime pay. But there is wide
spread fear that the statement never
theleSS will be distorted into n re
newed attack on the 40 O-hour-week law.
Tn" campaign to wipe out overtime
pay featured the anti-labor offensive
last spring
Agencies subscribing to the new
statement included the War and Navy
Departments, the Maritime Commits
sion, the Public Health Service, the
War Maupower Commission, the War
Production Board and the Labor De
partmcnt. The pronouncrment was un-
derlincd by the disclosure that more
than 800 900 workers now We're EN-
ployed more than 4S hours II week
In announcing Government work
policy the Onicc of War Information
set forth these standards aS the basis
for the policy:
For wartime production the eight
hour day and In" ~ hour week APP
for sustained efficiency in most indus
trial operations.
"One scheduled day of rest for the
individual out of approximately every
seven, should be Il universal and in
variable rule.
a 3O-minute meal period Is deslr-
able.
"NacatiOns are conducive TO sus-
tanned production and should be spread
over the longest posSibl" period
Th" statement was released aS Il
guide 10 Governmental establishments,
To field representatives of procurement
agencies and to contractors working on
war production"
Dispelling any notion that the state.
mcnt was framed 10 increase work
hours without extra compensation, the
declaration said
The ma iOr effect Of the new policy
statement on hours should be to re-
duce excessive working hours per week
per person, which cannot be sustained
without impairing the health and eili-
cheney OF workers and reducing the
flow Of production"
Despite these declaimers, 1t Is ex-
pected that lot Of newspapers and
