Objective of $643,OOO Expected to Be Reached Soon
 $8O,OOO Needed Directors Enthusiastic

vile, Litchfield, Washington, Dur ham, Madison, Pomfret and Bedding are the new towns to oversubscribe.
 MT. Ober said: T am happy to report that our goal is in sight and hope that when the campaign ends we shall report well beyond the quota. Everywhere the people seem aware of the fact that a USO con- tribution is an investment--an in- vestment which pays big dividends by supplying that vital weapon-- morale. so necessary for our gallant men who will ultimately triumph in this great struggle"
 With campaign reports came many human n-interest incidents. In Ash- ford for instance, Orin P. Durkee, chairman, who canvassed and put the town over its quota without as- sistance reported a case of visiting a man who could not understand English very well, Durkee explained his work but did not ask for Q con- tribution because he felt the man was having difficult time meeting expenses.

STEEL INDUSTRY
 CHALLENGES WLB
War Labor Board As- sembles in Executive
 Session to Decide Raise
By FRED BAILEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, July 3.-UP)-The war labor board meets in executive session today to consider 8 steel industry challenge of its authority to rule on workers demands for $1 day wage increase and union security.
 The challenge was made in a formal brief filed by Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company-one of the four Little Steel" companies involved-at the conclusion of pulp lie hearings on 8 favorable panel report on demands of the United Steel Workers (CIO).
 Back of the challenge was the threat of 8 court battle possibly af- fecting the existence of the war time Emergency Labor Board set up by President Roosevelt to maintain industrial peace and promote maxi mum war production.
 Attorneys for each of the other companies Republic, Inland and Bethlehem - joined during argu- ments before the board in question ing the powers of the board to or- der settlement of dispute against the will of either of the parties.
 The board accepted, after consid- erable discussion and executive deliberation, brief relating to Nmi- tations of its powers by John c. Gall of Youngstown. The brief said:
 "The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company respectful yasserts that the National War Labor Board is without authority to order the com- pany to enter into a purported agreement with respect to any mat ter as to which the company's &C., tual consent Is lacking"
 Steel Attorneys Argue
 Steel attorneys argued that the presidents order specifically pro- hibited the board violating any act of Congress; that the Wagner act prohibits an employer from firing a worker because of his union, or non-union affiliations.

Standard Work Week
 Legally Stipulated
Under Recently Adopted State Minimum Wage Law
 Working Hours Now Definitely Established

A standard work week based on the number of hours worked by the majority of employees during the week of April 25, l942 is estab- lished under the state minimum wage law for mercantile establish ments, State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danal1er announced to- day. Rest periods of 20 minutes or less are to be counted as part of the standard work week. MT. Dan- aher said, in making known cer- tain clarifying rulings in relation to the minimum wage law.
 These rulings are in further ex- planation of regulations recently adopted by the labor department establishing minimum wages and hours in mercantile establishments. They make 1t clear that while res- taurants are not subject to mini- mum wage regulations, restaurants located in drug or other mercantile establishments may be If an en1- ploye performs any service in the mercantile trade in addition to serv- ing food and drink.
 Other provisions cover payment of 8 minimum wage to saleSpeople working on 8 commission basis whenever the amount of the com- mission Is less than the minimum wage. Outside Salesmen are not subject to the provisions of the law if the salesman spends less than 20% of his time indoors. Four hours daily earnings are guaran- teed any employe called in to work except that this does not apply in the case of bona fide contractual services such as window cleaners Part time minors and students ir school may be paid at the hourly minimum rate of 30 cents until the age of 18, after which time they must be paid 37 1-2 cents per hour even though continuing as students
 MT. Danaher made it clear that these interpretations are based on regulations already adopted but have been further amplified in or der to clarify points raised by em- ployers since the minimum wage law became effective June l, 1942.

could under its present procedure require us to fire 8 man because he did not maintain his union mem- bership," Ernest s. Ballard, repre- senting Inland Steel, said. That would place use in violation of the Wagner Act"
 In addition to the challenge of its authority, the board must de- eide 1Nlether a wage boost is justi- fled for the 157,O0O employees of little Steel" and if so, the amount. It must answer the con- tention of the steel companies that a $1 a day wage hike would "set of a spiral of wage imitation" that would add 5000, ,o00,0 ,000 a year to the payrolls of the steel industry. Indirectly involved in the dispute are 450000 other steel workers who, under the industry policy of main- taining comparable wage standards, almost certainly would receive 8 simultaneous wage increase, and 100000 automotive workers who are demanding $l day wage increase and union security.

GAS SHORTAGE
 MARS HOLIDAY
Many Local Stations Un- able to Supply AllOtment;.
 "CIOsed" Sign Out

Another "dry" weekend was in prospect for Waterbury motorists, but this one will be due to the fact that a majority of the local deAl- ers will be closed both Saturday and Sunday. The Fourth of July hoN- day tomorrow will also be observed by members of the local Gasoline Dealers association.
 In anticipation of such inability to secure gasoline a run" on most stations was anticipated today. All local stations had been serviced by late yesterday and there weren't any mo gasoline" signs to be ob- served last night.
 There will be some stations open tomorrow; others will close at noon; a great many will observe the holiday.
 According to A. Lincoln Germn, president of the local association, efforts are still being made by op- orators to secure reduction in kents in order that under the reduced business operations stations may continue to remain in business.
