overtime provisions of the Wage
and Hour Law definitely are not
impeding war production. This
leads to the question: What about
civilian goods production?"
Here, too, the record shows that
there is no productive difficulty
caused by the overtime provisions
of the Law. Donald II. Daven-
port, of the Bureau of Labor Sta
t~istics, summarizes this situation
as follows:
Conservation of manpower
through a general frightening of
the workweek is not likely to be
necessary until 1913. AS a matter
of fact, there will be a pressing
need in 1912 to find additional en-
ployment opportunities for civilian
production in order to maintain
the level of living at the highest
possible level. Men and women
will be available or can be made
available in larger numbers than
they are likely to be used"
The Bureau predicts the decline
of a great number of workers in
non-war production from the
fourth quarter of 1941 to the
fourth quarter of 1912. War pro-
duction, of course, is expected to
absorb these workers, but the alb
sorption will not be immediate
because of the anticipated delay
and adjustment before the I'M
employed are placed in new jobs.
An example of this is the auto
mobile industry, where it is ex-
pected that six to nine months will
be required before recently laid
off workers will be absorbed in
war production.
All of this, of course, means that
not only is labor as a whole
undergoing a great change, but
that much Individual suffering is
resulting during the process of
change. One of the important
of the Wage and Hour
Law in this respect is the auto
matte brake it is placing on large
scale lay-offs, through the yer
time provisions of the law which
tend to give work to more people,
on multiple-sh programs, thus
resulting in slower lay-offs.
With the rising cost of living
it is unfair, to say the least, that
labor be asked to give up its
work projections. Or
ganized labor has attained over
time projections through collective
bargaining agreements after many
years of hard effort. Unorganized,
generally low-paid workers have
had this protection through Wage
and Hour Law since October, 1888.
There is no justification on the
basis of present conditions for the
now dying clamor to take these
gains away from either group. ....
The Wage and Hour Law, the
experiences of the three years it
has been in operation have shown,
is not a luxury law to be laid
aside in times of emergency like
this. No, it is a fundamental law
that was long overdue and neces-
sary for the protection and de-
tense of the working people of
this country against the worries
and dangers inherent in submini-
mum standards of working and

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 20 -
There is an increasing frequency
of rubber stealing here, and stories
of autos being stripped.
Automobile tires are more in de-
mand than ever and more cases
of theft are reported
The latest technique is to take
not only the tire but the whole
wheel. The latter plan is much
more speedy and effective.
One Vancouver yarn says a
physician, leaving a residence
where his services had been re-
quired, reached the street to dis
cover that all four wheels of his
car had disappeared.

revenue won't disappear entirely
any more than cars will disappear
from the streets and highways,
but with the rationing of tires and
tubes; the slash in new car produc-
ton; and the proposed repeal of
the use tax, because Of the expense
and difficulty of collection, the rev.
enue getters IN Congress are wor-
cied a-plenty.
In their frantic search for
new sources Of revenue for the
next fiscal year, the automo-
bile was to play an important
role. II is an open secret that
they were cycling the gasoline
and lumbricating oil tax for a
substantial boost and already
were ready to point out to any
directors that England impOs-
cs a gasoline tax Of around Is
cents a gallon. There also was
a plan to slap a tax on the
sales Of used cars.
Now, with no tires available ex-
cept on new cars and with new
car production cut to one-fourth
normal and probably slated for
complete stoppage. Congress is
faced with two problems. First
an increase in these taxes would
fall primarily on those whose cars
and trucks are considered vital to
public health and safety. Second,
any great increase in tax might
cause a shortage of transportation
facilities, in sections where buses
and tro]leys arc not available as to
disrupt completely the American
way of life.
The first possibility would be
bad enough, congressman say, but
the second might be tragic in its
results. Consequently, Congress OBJ
servers are predicting now that the
lawmakers will swallow the bitter
pill and point to it as one of the
maor reasons why the country will
have to turn to federal sales tax
on practically all commodities to
raise funds for even portion of
our war effort.
This loss of millions in revenue is
only one of the many critical results
of the new priorities restricting the
use of motor transportation. 1t
isn't the only thing, however, that
is worrying Congressman, govern
ment officials and the heads of
associations.
