INDUSTRY
SET UP PROGRAM
FOR WAR OUTPUT


several days of discussion, the indus
try-labor conference called by Presi-
dent Roosevelt agreed on a three
point program designed to insure I'M
interrupted production during the
war
The conference, composed of II in
dustrialists and II labor leaders, was
unable to agree on demand of the in
dustrial leaders that the union shop
should not be an issue of arbitration.
After William II. Davis, moderator of
the conference, and Senator Ebert
Thomas of Utah had reported to the
President that it was deadlocked on
the union shop issue, the President
sent letter to the conference which
said in part:
Moderator Davis and Senator
Thomas have reported to me the re-
suits of your deliberations They have
given me each proposition which you
have discussed. l am happy to accept
your general points of agreement as
follows:
81. There shall be no strikes or
lockouts
'2. All disputes shall be settled by
peaceful means
90. The President shall set up
proper War Labor Board to
handle these disputes.
II accept without reservation your
covenants that there shall be no strikes
or lockouts and all disputes shall be
settled by peaceful means. shall pro-
ceed at once to act on your third point
Government must act in general.
The three points agreed upon cover of
necessity all disputes that may arise
between labor and management.
"The particular disputes must be
left to the consideration of those who
can study the particular differences
and who are thereby prepared by
knowledge to pass judgment in the
particular case. | have full faith that
no group in our national life will take
undue advantage while we are faced
by common enemies"
At a press conference following ad-
journment of the industry-labor con-
ference, Moderator Davis was asked
why the management group had ac-
cepted the three-point formula when
it previously had insisted upon inclu-
sion of a fourth point banning deter
mination of the union shop question.
Senator Thomas replied that "the
management group previously had
said that if any proposition was put
up to the President, it would abide by
his decision"
Davis explained that the labor pol
icy enunciated by the President fol
lowed the outline presented by Sen
ator Thomas, who Davis said had sum
married. the four days Of debate by
management and labor Representatives
by selecting the points on which they
were in general accord.
When the agreement was announced,
William Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, said in a
speech for the newsreel cameramen
that labor, which had obligated itself
to maintain uninterrupted production
and to engage in no strikes and no
work stoppages for any cause, was
happy over the ending to most sig
nifcant conference"

Glanor

A beauty consultant on fngernails
tells us that polish correctly applied
and coated with sealer prevents nail
breakage, splitting and other uncom-
Portable accidents to nails. She adds
the following points on nail care: ap-
ply one coat of an adherent, two coats
of polish and a sealing fluid two or
three times week for the home mani
cure. Don't file nail corners and don't
file nails to a point; use nail cream
on cuticle and leave narrow margin
at the base of nail when applying
polish SO the cream can penetrate. Be
sure to use a non-acid remover to
prevent excessive dryness.
Distinguished by unusual draping
and inspired by the beauty and ro-
nance of South America are the re-
sort clothes being shown now for
southern wear. Some skirts have
gaucho drapes and sleeveless caballero
jackets and are worn in contrasting
color to the bodices cut like peon
ShaWls.
Colors are rich and smoldering and
one hears such names as Aztec yellow,
surf green, jungle flame and Andes
white, an off shade of white suggested
by snow on the mountains. Many
dresses in wool, crepe or pique are
shown in this Andes white, embroi-
dered with brilliant jungle colors.
For the tailored suit of the type
worn by the women of the Argentine
such colors as smoke glass gray and
pampas grass were favorites.
Play and leisure clothes give prom
inence to the tunic.
New idea introduced in beauty par
lors to keep all hands busy while sit
ting under dryers is to knit for soldiers.
Partly sweaters and socks and
plenty of yarn is kept on hand and
each patron can add several rows while
drying! If you don't know how to knit
there will be someone there to teach
YOU. Hours of otherwise wasted time
can be put to good purpose in this
fashion and the idea should spread
rapidly to many other establishments.

DO YOU KNOW?

If you've got "war nerves" you
might get relief by cleaning out the
attic or cellar and get rid of those old
magazines and papers. They are a
fire hazard as are cleaning fluids, half
empty paint cans and other chemicals
They should be stored outside if kept
Bundle your papers and old rags and
call relief organization to take them.
They are worth real money now and
will be reprocessed into war needs.
It's not too soon to lay in a supply
of oil lamps, candles and heavy black
cloth to cover windows for the black
outs that are to come.

BUILDING WORKER
NOW COVERED BY
WACE-HOUR LAWS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
vision, u. S. Department of Labor,
that elevator operators, watchmen,
firemen and other employees of build
ing housing firms producing goods for
commerce are covered by the Fair
Labor Standards Act has been upheld
by U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
opinion.
The opinion, rendered by the Circuit
Court for the Third Circuit, at Phila-
delphia, confirms the decision of Judge
William H. Kirkpatrick, in u. S. Dis
trict Court at Philadelphia, which en-
joined the A. B. Kirschbaum Company,
of that city, from further violating the
wage and hour provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Objections Overruled
The opinion extends the benefits of
the 30-cents- -per-hour and time and
one-half for overtime beyond 40 hours
per week provisions of the wage-hour
law to three elevator operators, two
watchmen, three firemen, an engineer,
carpenter, carpenters helper, and
porter. All are employed by the
Kirschbaum Company in Philadel-
phia building rented by tenants who
are engaged in the production of goods
for commerce.
In announcing the opinion, Baird
Snyder, acting administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, pointed out
that the Circuit Court overruled OBJ
iections of the defendant that the en-
ployer was not himself engaged in
commerce or in the production of
goods for commerce
"We conclude" the opinion stated
on this point, chat it was the inten-
tion of Congress to make the act ap-
plicable to all those who are employed
in commerce or in the production of
goods in commerce without regard to
the nature of their employers business
and that this intention was given apt
expression in Sections (the mini
mum wage provisions) and Z (over-
time provisions) of the act.''
Employees Services Vital
The courts recognition that the en-
ployes involved are engaged in proc
esses or occupations necessary to the
production Of goods for commerce is
shown by its finding:
"Thus for the purposes of the act
an employee is to be deemed engaged
in the production of goods for COM
merce not only when he has direct
physical contact with the goods, but
also when he is employed in amy proc
ess or occupation necessary to the pro-
duction thereof In each in
stance the work is so essential to the
production of the tenants goods that
if the defendant were not to provide
the services the tenants themselves
would have had to provide them. The
vital necessity to production of the
services of elevator operators, engi-
neers, and firemen is vividly demon
strated by evidence presented by the
plaintiff as to the effects of a strike
of building maintenance workers in
New York City in 1882"
With special reference to elevator
operators, the opinion held such en-
ployes to be "also directly engaged in
commerce, for although their activ-
tiles take place entirely within the
state they carry out one step in the
actual transportation of the goods to
