Although no quota has been as

June is to June 30, because nobody
knows how much scrap rubber
there is laying about the homes in
Delaware, it is up to the people to
dig out every scrap of discarded
rubber that can be found and take
it to nearby service stations. There
they can either donate it, with the
proceeds going to worthy war SER
vice agencies, or they can receive
payment for it at the current rate
of one cent per pound. But the main
thing is to get the scrap rubber

Not Result of War

"In these conclusions they are
correct. This II not n phenome-
non Of war times. II II n condi-
ton that has been existent for
the last 10 years and which will
continue rs long as certain pO-
liticai powers remain i'm power.
To this result three things have
contributed:
~. The errors Of business and
finance In the decade prior to
the depression.
"2. The failure Of business
leadership individually, instead
of through trade associations, To
fight for the just protection of
security-holders.
"3. The capitalization by GER
tain political forces of discon-
tent and the advancement Of
policies inimical TO the welfare
Of security-hOlders without such
policies adding benefcialIy to

Voluntary Change

The concession made by the
unions will enable such swing
shift arrangements without pay
ment of overtime for work done
on Saturday and Sunday. and
that is the real significance of
the voluntary change. The ques-
ton is left open whether 40
hours Of work per week per
man is sufficient in wartime.
One sensible compromise has
been the suggestion of extend
ing the normal work week to
AZ hours. and paying overtime
for all work in excess of as
hours.

vealed TO me that he is working
his men on three shifts. For the

for the first 8 hours Of work

For the first two hours of over
time on this shift and on these

For any additional work above
two hours overtime, double time
is paid
The same standards apply to
the second and third shifts,
with the exception that there is

told me just before the latest
union concessions were made:
I'm peacetime most plants
were operated from Monday

ton of premium for work on

of great Importance. Now that
we are at war, however, those
premiums for Saturday and Sun
day work threatened to increase
substantially the cost Of our war
effort inasmuch as plants en-
gagged In the production OF war
materials must operate seven
days a week. This because II a
man Is asked to work eight hours

Sunday, he must, under the
terms OF the existing contracts,
he paid time and One-half for

Sunday, so that even though

Step in Right Direction

Contending that the overtime
and premium pay on week-endS
were interfering with regularity
of production the airplane
manufactures revealed:
The percentage Of absentee
ism is highest on days after the
time and a half and double time
days. In other words. the per-
centsge Of absenteeism Is lower
when compensation is on double
time and on time and n half than
on days when only straight time
Is paid"
Thus, the suspension during
the war Of automatic overtime
over the weekend is a step in
the right direction. and will help
to accelerate armament produce
ton.
