On Overtime Pay
Law, Labor Agreements
And Past Practices Stand
Without Approval

Approval of the War Labor Board
is not required for payment of over
time rates for hours worked in ex-
cess of 40 hours when such pay
ments are made in accordance with
Federal, State or local laws, by pro-
visions Of collective bargaining
agreements or by the past practice
of the employer, the board ruled
today.
If none of these laws or provisions
applies, overtime may not be given
without its approval at more than
straight time rates to hourly rated
or salaried employees. the board said
in a statement issued to answer in
qulrleS as to the effect on wages
and salaries of the executive order
of February establishing a mini
mum wartime work week of 48
hours.
The WLB also emphasized it will
review wage awards of arbitrators
only on the question of whether the
award is compatible with the wage
stabilization program, and that it
will not review other issues in the
awards,
Herald Tribune Case.
A formal opinion written by Vice
Chairman George w. Taylor for the
majority in the case of the New York
Herald Tribune and the Col New
York Newspaper Guild upheld the
decision of a three-man arbitration
panel selected by the parties and set
forth the policy of the board in such
cases for the future. EMPLOYER
members dissented from the 8-to-4
decision.
The board majority found that
the wage award for employees of the
editorial department lis quite with
in the boards IS per cent malad-
justment policy" based on the total
average increases granted since
January l. 194l. The award set up
various minimum wage classical
tions, with employees earning less
than 500 weekly receiving a wage
increase either through the estab-
lShed minima or on a percentage
basis.
Agreement of Parties.
The issues in the case" the
boards order said, were submitted
by agreement of the parties for
final and binding determination to
the Arbitration Board, reserving for
review by the War Labor Board only
the question of whether the award
was warranted under the national
stabilization policy"
Dl. Taylor's opinion said that "all
other judgments of the arbitratOrs

Miami GLNS). = Again vOicing its
opposition to compulsory national
service. legislation, the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor executive council de-
clarcd opposition to such legislation on
the ground that it would hamper
rather than increase war production.
President William Green told a
press conference that the council, in
considering the proposed national serv-
ice bill drafted by Grenville Clark, a
New York lawyer, had found some
good features in the measure but had
also found some sections that We're
Objectionable.
Safeguards Held Inadequate
Provisions in the Clark measure
dealing with labor safeguards were
| "inadequate," Green dec a red. He
added that he had directed to take up
labor's objections with those sponsor
ing the legislation. He went on to say
"The executive councils opinion is
that the substitution of compulsiOn for
voluntary action is not necessary at
this time, that it will retard and not
promote Increased production for the
war effort.
I'VE do not feel that such legisla-
ton is necessary, since we can still
draw labor from various pools, incud
ing women"
In this connection Green said tha,
the council had considered the reported
labor shortage and had concluded that
the time had not yet come for the
afreezing' of workers to their jobs
Rate Increases Upheld
ut was the councils opinion that we
have not yet drafted certain pools OF
labor, especially women" he added.
Legislation designed to aid Federal
employees to obtain wage increases
was approved by the council.
After hearing President George Nj
Harrison of the brotherhood of Rail
way Clerks explain why the railroad
workers are seeking higher wages, the
council declared opposition to the re
cent request of the Office of Price Ad
miniStratiOn for a resembling of last
years railroad rate increases.
The council took the position that
cancellation of the rate increase would
reduce railroad revenues and diminish
the possibility of wage boosts.
Making public the decision, Presi
dent Green said the council believed
it was Il mistake for the OPA to press
for cancellation of the rate increase:

The Woman's Party cites that these
are many state laws which bar women
from jury service, refuse women hgal

the passing of this amendment.

Floor Fight 10 Force
Canal Funds Dropped
Pepper Changes Strategy
On Waterways Proposal
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
In sudden shift of strategy, Flor
ida canal hackers late yesterday
abandoned plans to force a Senate
floor fight for a s2S,0O0,00O initial
appropriate for the waterway and
let the 1914 War Department civil
functions bill pass without any direct
money for the project
Earlier yesterday Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida. one Of the
principal supporters of the canal,
which would link two intracoastal
waterways and provide direct route
for oil barges to bring additional
shipments to the East, had said he
was going to start action from the
floor.
The Senate Appropriation Com
mittee refused by a 17-to-l4 vote to
include any money for the canal in
the bill, though a subcommittee had
voted, 10 to 9, for the canal.
But, Senator Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma said. Senator Pepper
was prevailed on to relinquish his
night tor the canal at this time with
this understanding:
That funds allocated to the En-
gineers Corps in the bill will be
utilized to make a prompt resurvey
of the entire canal route. with a
view to getting fresh information as
to the amount of earth and rock to
be moved, and the quantity OF
critical materials to be required.
Then, later, if conditions warrant
funds for building the canal would
be provided in deficiency appro-
priation bill
AS adopted, the bill contains a
total OF $63 ,657 098 for the civil func-
tions Of the War Department, in
cluding $35.700OO0 for river and
harbor work and $4,000 900 fot
