Relaxation Of Labor
Standards Seen
By Miss Perkins
Efficiency to Serve as
Sole Test, Declares
Cabinet Member

Warning that shortages in avail
able labor during the present emer-
gency will require "relaxations in
accepted Standards" Secretary Per-
kins declared today that the sole
test of labor standards, In the all
out production program, must be
their effect ION the efficiency of the
individual to insure top war produc-
ton"
In a statement Of policy with re-
spect to State hour laws, concurred
in by the War, Navy and Labor De-
partments, she urged the preserva-
ton in State laws and regulations
of seven basic principles, except
where modification may be neces-
sary during the war period to assure
maximum production.
Recommends Standards.
The standards recommended by
Secretary Perkins are as follows:
A maximum 48-hour week; an
eight-hour day. or the daily hours
customarily worked in the particular
establishment, industry or COM
munity: one day of in seven; adap-
tation Of working hours and condi-
tions to the age and sex of the
worker and the nature of the occu-
patton; provision for adequate meal
and rest periods; proper safeguards
for health and safety, and wage
rates for women, including the en-
trance rates, equal to those of man
workers.
THE President has said that un-
telenting production Is the price of
peace with victory, and to this end
he has ordered all war facilities to
proceed Immediately on 24-hour-
day, 7-day-week production basis, "
Secretary Perkins declared. Time
is short, and the Presidents demand
must be complied with now"
Opposes Relaxation on Minors.
Secretary Perkins opposed any re-
Taxation of standards governing
employment of minors under 16.
There is no occasion to engage in
q blanket suspension Of labor stand
ards" she said. Social gains, not
inconsistent with war needs, must
be conserved"
Experience has shown, Secretary
Perkins asserted, that weekly hours
In excess Of q maximum Of 48 hours
result in decreased rather than in
creased production when continued
for any extended period Of time"

Bomber Plant Fliers Die IN Crash
US. Winner In
Early Battles
ForSoIomons
Stalingrad Drive
Slowed

Washington. Aug 15-INS 49,
There was every indication in
Washington today that the United
States has won the first phase OF
the battle of the Solomon Islands.
From the fragmentary informa-
ton which the Navy Department
has released up TO this. the ninth
day OF the raging conflict, L. s.
forces. supported by Australian nav
al and air units, appear to have
achieved the following:
/. L. s. Marines definitely have
occupied some OF the principal Solo
mon Islands.
2. American planes and avia-
tors have gained superiority of the
air.
3. Shore. based army and Allied
bombers have prevented the Jsps
from bringing up any sizeable re-
Inducements.
4. L. S warships have won suffi-
Client margin over the enemy to pro-
tect American lines of communica-
tons. supplies destined for the in
vsding Marines, and probable re-
Inducements.
5. The two-fisted leathernecks
have lived up to their reputation
for landing and staying put and,
in the words Of the Navy Depart
ment. are consolidating their shore
positions satisfactorily"
The consensus in Washington to-
day is that the overall picture in
the Solomons is good The bloody
eight days just past have provided
|. S. striking power with its first
major test of the war.
What the cost Of invasion has
been TO L. s. forces so far, has not
been disclosed beyond an estimate
after three days OF fighting made
last Monday by Admiral Ernest ].
King. the man who heads the Nays
high command in Washington. He
said then that at least" one Amer
lean cruiser had been sunk. and
two cruisers, two destroyers and
transport damaged.

The union told the board yester-

profits in the first half of this year,
after estimated taxes, were down
about so per cent from the same
period of 1941.

the auto workers, said there had
been more labor unrest at the plant
