TO Meet Farm Demands

ber of displaced industrial workers

hard hit by conversion of plants to war

81, 600 will leave WPA rolls in March
for farm jobs, but it is equally certain
that the need for employment will rise
sharply in some cities and we cannot

mpIlt To Ilp SttonN VIII l''NtiS I'M, ~!
REPRESENTATIVE Howard w. Smith of
Virginia. notorious foe of organized
labor
Defeat of the proposal came after
vigorous. opposition was offered to it
by Administration leaders and by the
American Federation of Labor ana
Congress of Industrial Organizations.
Green Flags Amendment
Voicing the opposition of the AFL,
President William Green warned the
Smith proposal would endanger the
nations war effort and declared:
THE Smith amendment is false in
its basic premise and misleading in its
objective. 1t would not lengthen work
ing hours There is nothing in existing
law which prevents workers from
being employed for more than 40 hours
n week What this amendment really
aims To do is To abSolye employers OF
Sweated workers. who do not have the
protection of unions. of the require
ment of paying such workers overtime
rates for work in excess of 40 hours Il
week
This proposal and the repeal OF
other safeguards would wreck Ameri-
can labor standards, disrupt war pro
duction schedules and undermine the
morale of loyal American workers"
Wouldn't Affect Unions
Main argument against the amend
ment used in the House debate was
that il would not affect organized Labor
with union contracts at all but only
unorganiZpd workers.
This was the main argument used
against it by Representative Casey OF
Massachusetts, who, many members
agreed, helped to pile up the votes
against Smiths proposal.
Representative Casey said 1t would
have destroyed existing wage evils II
unorganizcd industries and permitted
employers To pocket additional profits
by not having To pay overtime. Mem
berS of the tID and Al'L would moi
have been affected, he added because
they have contracts guaranteeing the
4O-hour week and overtime.

MednY Listed To Discuss
Lubors Part In The War

Detroit, Mich.-Secretary- Treasurer
George Meany of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor will deliver an adj
dress on labor'S part in the war effort
at the annual dinner of the Detroit and
Wayne County Federation of Labor
March T.. Mr.. Meany'S speech will
probably be broadcast nationally.
L. '. Mcnamara, chairman of the
arrangements committee, announced
that the largest attendance since the
annual dinners began is assured. The
appearance of Mr.. Meany will he his
first before the Detroit labor move
ment since he became Sccrclary-lrcaS-
lrcr of the \. T. of l..
tries and occupations, have had their
influence. ON the average, the level of
wage rates for Il fun ordinary weeks
work, exclusive of overtime, was about
Is per cent higher in July 1911 than in
October 1888. 1t should he borne in
mind too, that weekly working hours in
mid-l0ll were considerably in excess
of those worked in the Autumn of 1898
The changes which have occurred IN
the numbers and proportions of men
boys, women and girls employed in the
different industries since the war br
gan had the effect of raising the gen
rrnl level of average earnings. This
is due mainly to the lranSfcrcncc oI
workers from industries in whici
wages We're relatively low To Others
with Il higher level of earnings. The
effect of these changes, however, il
offset to some extent by the fact thai
the proportion of men employed was
lower, and the proportion Of wOmeI
higher during the period.
AS to the social consequence Of boys
and girls of immature age earning L.
or more Il week, much could be writ
ten. There is a body of opinion hold
ing that immature youths and girl:
should not be permitted to earn S,

VOLUNTARY ENLISTING
HALTED BY PRESIDENT

Washington - Voluntary en-
listments in the armed forces
were stopped by President Sat-
urday, except in special cases,
and the army and navy were told
to get their recruits hencetorth
through the selective service sys-
tenn, which was placed under
Paul V. McNutt.
At the same time the War De-
partment called a halt to the in
duction of all men over SO and
opened the way for the honorable
discharge of such men already IN
service if they can serve the war
effort better as civilians.
The President acted, after weeks
of study of the knotted man pow
er problem, in an executive or
der which not only vested super
vision of military procurement IN
McNutt as chairman of the war
man power commission but gave
him stronger powers as we'll over
all government departments con-
cerned with man power and over
the practices of private industry.

statesmen ALLOWED
MORE GASOLINE NOW

Washington - The government
eased restrictions on gasoline use
by travelling statesmen but there
were indications that the prob
lem of getting even an essential
supply of fuel oil and gasoline
to consumers remained acute.
Announcing that the action
was taken at the request of Rub
Der Administrator LETTERS, the
office of price administration
granted an increase in gasoline
rations for travelling statesmen.
The increase, OPA said, would
allow statesmen up to IS per cent
of their mileage for last year or
a total of $500 miles for the year,
whichever is less. The TIC miles
a month under the increase COM
pares with 470 miles in the west
and 40 in the east now possible

statesmen.

OPA HAS ASKED ICC
TO REDUCE RR RATES

Washington - The office of
price administration has asked
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to cancel passenger and
freight rate increases that were
granted to the railroads early
this year, it was disclosed this
week.
An estimated $5OO,O0e,OOO in
yearly transportation costs,
closely related to the cost of
living" are involved, the OPA
said. This figure includes in
creased revenue as a result of a
10 per cent increase in passenger
fares, effective last Feb. 10, and
a six per cent increase in freight
rates effective last March 18. It
also takes into account increased
business of the railroads this
year.
