Minimum Pay Orders Are
Reported Better Observed

Columbus, O., DLNS). - Improved
observance by employers of minimum
wage provisions established for three
industries, and issuance of a manda-
tory order for a fourth industry, are
highlights of a report on activities dur
ing 1941 of the Division of Minimum
Wage, submitted by Superintendent
James =. Walsh to Director George A.
Strain of the Ohio Department of In
dustral Relations.
A mandatory order requiring cOmpli-
ance with minimum wage provisions
established for the beauty culture i'll
dustry, sisued April 4, 1911, affected
an estimated 10000 employees of 1000
employers in that industry. The order
brought to approximately $4,000 the
number of women and male minors
now covered by the Ohio Minimum
Wage Law.
A total of 1S,O5S inspections were
reported by division representatives in
1911, 333 less than in 1910. Collections
of back wages for workers in the four
industries in which mandatory mini
mum wage provisions are in effect to-

Concerns With War
Contracts Warned
Of Discrimination
Complaints Filed Against
Companies In Chicago
And Milwaukee

Ten concerns having millions of dol
lars in war contracts were told TO
cease discriminating against available
workers because of their race or re-
which they received this week from
the Presidents Committee on Fair Enl>
ployment Practice.
The concerns are in the Chicago
and Milwaukee areas, and the findings
and directions are based on two days
of public hearings held January 1920
i'm Chicago. Since January the Com
mittee, of which DR.. Malcolm S. Mac
Lean, president of Hampton Institute
is Chairman, had studied the record
before taking the action announced
this week
The companies involved in the Chi
cagO area are: the Stewart Warner
Corporation, the Buick Aviation plant
at MelrOSe, ILL.,, a unit of General
Motors Corporation; the BearSe Manu-
featuring Company, Simpson Manufac,
turing Company and the Studebakel
branch factory. Those in the Milwau
kee area are: the Nordberg Manufac'
turing Company, \. o. Smith Corpora
ton, He'll Company, Allis-ChalmerS
Corporation and the Harnischfegei
Corporation.
One company, Majestic Radio Cor
poraton of Chicago, was commended
for its prompt action in correcting dis
criminatory practice in its hiring. Ac
cording to testimony by II. \. Gates
Ma jestic president, he discharged two
of his supervisory employees after ne
had checked and found the charges OF
discrimination made by the COMMITTEES
to be valid. Mr.. Gates took this action
even before he appeared on the wit
ness stand at the Chicago hearings.
The complaints filed against the
several companies included allegations
that they had refused TO employ either
Negroes or Jews, or both that they
had given restrictive orders to either
public or private employment agencies
asking for only white or only Gentle
workers; that they Fad advertised il
newspapers for help and specified
"Gcntile" or "PrOteStant' or 'White'
or that they had refused TO give work
erS of certain races and creedS op
pOrtunity for promotion in kccpin!
with their qualifications.
The companies for the most par
denied that they were discriminating
| but in each case the Committee fOunt
that the evidence supported the charge
of discrimination.
| The findings and directions vii
give the Committee a continuing juris
diction over the employment practice
of these industries, which hold con
tracts for war implements and mater
ial, as each concern has been aSkct
to file reports with the Committee
| showing the extent to which steps hay,
been taken to bring the Company
employment policies and practices int
line with the national policy" Dl
MacLean explained.

1T is disturbing to see the Attorney
General considering resort to SeditiOn
or Espionage Act prosecutions for
opinions alone We have so far happily
avoided the sorry record of such prose
cutions during World War l, universal
ly condemned by all reasonable men.
The argument that this is Il war OF
propaganda and that opinions are as
dangerous as bullets could be made in
any war.
All Criticism Threatened
in our Judgment the place for the
Attorney General to draw the line is
where the Supreme Court has drawn
it, That means no prosecutions except
where there is Il clear and present
danger of acts against the law.
"Once the government undertakes
prosecutions for opinions alone in the
absence of acts the door is wide open
to strike at any newspaper or period
ical in the country critical of any gov
ernment policy.
"We draw attention of the Depart
men of Justice to the experience OF
England, where attempts to suppress
dissent have been resisted by the en-
tire press. The few instances of sup
preston in the early months of the
war were justified on the ground OF
clear and present danger. In one case
it was so obvious that it was not con
tested and i'm the others stOutly resist
ed by the press as Il whole.
Union Aid Promised
''The Civil Liberties Union will ren
der every possible service on request
to any publication proceeded against
for opinion alone, i'm the absence OF
direct incitement to acts, whatever the
opinions are. 4 government which be
gins by striking at one unpopular opin
ion may we'll end by striking at al
dissent. Only by resisting every en-
croachmcnt can free press be main
tanned"
