 ions composing the East Coast AL uance of Shipyard Workers of America spent several days in ar- guing with representatives of the War Production Board, the Navy and the Maritime Commission that the provisions relating to loss of overtime on account of absence from work were far too harsh and Impractical. Admissions to this effect were secured from Govern ment Representatives present at the hearing; but in view of the fact that the CIO had already ac- cepted these provisions in their conferences the Alliance was un- able to force a revision at that time.
 When local negotiations were conducted the Shipbuilders Union succeeded in preventing loss of overtime as q result of tardiness due to good and sufficient cause as we'll as absence for other req sons which were recognized under the General Stabilization Agree ment.
 Lack Binding Interpretation
 Shortly after the Shipbuilding Stabilization Agreement went into effect the President issued an ex- ecutive order known as No. 24O which abolished Saturday and Sum- day overtime as such to conform all defense work to the principles incorporated into the Shipbuilding Stabilization Agreement. However the question of the effect of ab- sences on overtime was dealt with generally and there were no offi- cial binding interpretations on this point.
 Recently the Department of La bor has issued it's first Interpreta- tive Bulletin under Executive Or- der 0240 and under this order the rules as to absences have been clarified and fully backed up the position of the, Independent Unions At the same time demonstrating that the CIO Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America did great injustice to all shipyard workers in the United

It iS permissible however, for the employer to ale low the employee to make up the time lost by such voluntary ab- sence during the subsequent days of the workweek, and be compen- sated at the rate of double time on the seventh day of the work week for hours worked on that day. However, double time may be paid on the seventh day only for those hours worked after the time lost has been made up by the employee.

 i. The Order does not require that any particular number of hours be worked in day for that day to be regarded as a day worked under the Order.

a time when dirty clothes will be
strewn all through the house. This
is the time which Mr.. Clapper and
others will not see. They do not
realize that this sin of racial preju-

concerns America, as a whole, more

suffer from it. Any malady, so in
sidious, so deadly, must be worked
on, no matter how delicate the
operation. Mr.. Clapper is like the
man who would take a chance with
the ravages of a disease rather
than trust to an operation. Some
