One Real Outsider

Favorites had fair day OF II
with only one real outsider get
ting home. This was c. f. Ora
hams Bosley, which led all the
gay under Jockey Patterson MILL
gan TO beat Three Clovers by a
half length in a driving finish to
the Bloomfield Handicap which
raw the Tall Trees stables Ball
Player back in third place.
1t was the second victory OF the
year for Bosley. a 6-year-old horse
which was bred in England by
William Woodward. the New York
banker who owns the famed Belair
stud, producer of such champions
as Omaha and Gallant Fox. Bosley
/. isn't any champion but he showed
a little touch OF class under pun
ishment to return a 500 straight
mutuel to the few who made him
eighth choice In a field Of nine.
Turf Race Close
All the excitement wasn't over
with the running of the Moslem
{. Handicap. The finale, the Cross
Country Purse, saw the favored
Bosly Dell get to the end of the
mile and 81 furlongs just a lip
ahead Of Betrothed.
AS usual the turf course race
provided something different. This
time it came when the Tall Trees
Stables Scrooge, ridden by Gil
berto Olivera, forced Buttermilk
inside the course just before the
field hit the first turn. Buttermilk.
ridden by Sammy Weisman, "cut
the pie" as neatly as you please
and was over on the other side
before the rest of the field
rounded the turn. But that was
all for Buttermilk.
The finish of the race was so
close many of the fans disputed
the judges decision but the pic
ture clearly showed the favorite
rs the winner.
Nevertheless, more than 1900
fans remained after the finish of
the race TO berate officials and de-
clare even after viewing the pic
lures that the worst Betrothed
should have received was a dead
heat. Several cashiers windows
were broken.

LEADER OF TOKYO RAID PRAISES
INION-MADE GOODS

ONE OF THE first official acts of James II. Doc
~ little after he was promoted from lieutenant
colonel to brigadier general in recognition Of his
successful bombing raid on Tokyo was to send a
telegram to the workers in the Hamilton Standard
Propeller Co. factory in East Hartford, Conn, con
graduating them on the superiority of their union
made product. The international Association of
Machinists (AFL) has a contract at the plant.
The Army Air Force leader also had high
praise for the superior quality Of Amerlcan-made
incendiary bombs. He was particularly pleased by
the excellent patterns" sown by the bombs when
released from the planes and their highly mcen-
diary action. According to General Doolttle, every
bomb worked perfectly and there were no buds
or delay in functioning or failure Of any kind"
"The planes Observation-Disclosures cSpe-
cially equipped for the mission" he said. 1--WE have
in our training cente-S -. on our production INES
the pattern from which will be built many
more surprises for Japan and Germany These
planes are made by the North American Aviation
Co, where the United Automobile Workers (ClO)
is the bargaining agent.
Meanwhile, the Army has announced that the
new AT-15 crew trainer for the Army Air Forces
will be equipped with Hamilton Standard Propel,
Tors. This union-made plane will be manufactured
by Boeing Airplane Company. 1t has a wing span
of 80 feet. Boeing workers are members OF the
MachiniSts Union.

WHY NO ACTION?

IN HIS BUDGET message addressed to Congress
4 on January 7, President Roosevelt declared that
at is part Of our war effort to maintain civilian
services which are essential to the basic needs OF
human life" TO reach this objective in social Sc
curity, the President asked Congressional legiS-
lation providing IAN increase in the coVerage" Of
the old age and survivors insurance system; Glib
eralization and expansion of unemployment COM
of unemployment compensation in a uni
form national system;' the addition of pelma-
nent and temporary disability payments and hos
pitalization payments" and improvement of the
assistance programs of the Social Security Act.
The Presidents recommendations are needed
for the effectiveness not only of the social security
program but Of the war effort. Social security laws
are not mere reforms. They are on q par with
guns, battleships and a%irplanes in the security OF
the nation. The Presidents proposals are favored
by organized labor.
Five months have elapsed since the Presidents
message. During these months, Congress and the
public have almost forgotten the message. In fact
it has been remembered only by the enemies OF
social security, especially the opponents of health
insurance, who have intensified their attack on

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AGREES ON OVERTIME

A NEW OVERTIME formula ending payments
for Saturday, Sunday and holiday work as such
was agreed on last week by the General Motors
Corporation and two CIO unions The United
Automobile Workers of America, and the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Of Amer
lea.
The overtime issue which caused GMC's re-
cent, but short-lived defiance Of the National War
Labor Board, was settled at mediation hearings
before a three-man panel of the Board. The new
plan puts into effect the agreement between the
President and the AFL and Go on the overtime
question in more than 80 GMC plants employing
workers.
The agreements between the corporation and
the two unions provide that straight time shall be
paid for work up to 40 hours a week; time and a
half for work over 8 hours in any one day or for
work over 40 hours in any one week, and also for
the sixth day Of the work week. Double time will
be paid for the seventh consecutive day worked.
These overtime payments for the sixth and
seventh days will be diminished by all time lost for
personal reasons.
The new agreements provide for the establish
ment of overlapping shifts designed to guarantee
maximum utilization of machinery and the
achievement of continuous war production. En-
ployees on such 3-shift operations will receive a
full 8 hours pay, the 2O-minutes lunch period be-
ing absorbed in the overlap.
