Frances Perkins, Murray assailed
the Labor Dept. for taking action
on the matter before getting sug-
gestions from organized labor. and
asked President Roosevelt to trans
fer jurisdiction over premium wage
payments to some other branch of
the government.
Murray told FDR that the CLIO
accepted a Presidential request In
June, 1912. to abandon premium
pay for Saturdays and Sundays as
SUCH" but that supplementary reg
ulations issued by Madame Perkins
which "purported to cover this SUBJ
ject caused tremendous confu-
sion In American industry pertain

MENACES UNIONS
Now, without warning or consul
tation," the Secretary of Labor has
changed the regulations in such a
fashion as to cause reshifting Of
work schedules, and disastrous eff
fectS In many plants. with devastat-
ing impact on morale of workers.
"It is my considered judgment"
Murray telegraphed the President,
that TO permit the Secretary of
Labor, who has no knowledge Of
operating problems in war plants
to continue to handle this problem
constitutes a menace to the labor
movement and to the objective we
all seek. namely: continuity of war
work and maximum production in
war plants.
81 urge that you transfer this
entire problem to some agency
other than the Secretary Of La
boris, In order that the Executive
Order as originally interpreted,
can be enforced"
LABOR NOT CONSULTED
In his letter to Madame Perkins.
the CLIO leader recalled that the
change in premium pay regulations
before labor had a chance to pre-
sent its victims.
"This action on your part Is
quite consistent with your usual
attitude toward labor Organiza-
tions," he told the Secretary. at
Is impossible to obtain any con-
sultation with your department
before action Is taken that direct
~ concerns and affects millions
OF workers"
Murray demanded that the De-
partment restore the original pre-
MUM pay set-up, and said he would
submit the issue to the CLIO board

Urges Unions
Act Fast
On New Bills

Washington, Jan. S0-An appeal
to all CLIO unions to get legislative
committees functioning quickly was
sent out this week by Nathan
Cowan, legislative director, who
emphasized the extreme need for
labor to mobilize for win-the-war
measures and against defeatist
proposals.
at would be suicide for us TO sit
back and wait for important bills
to come up" Cowan wrote. with
each preliminary battle that they
win, these reactionary blocs become
holder and are able to build toward
bigger and holder attacks on the
war effort"
A few preliminary skirmishes
have shown that the poll tax bloc
and the "worst elements in the
Republican party have made it
clear that they are paying no
attention to the leadership OF
President Roosevelt or to basic
administration policy" the unions
were told.
He cited the smear probe of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion and efforts to tie the hands OF
party leaders on questions of Con-
greSSional personnel and policy az
part of the same pattern.
CHARTS PROGRAM
To meet this situation, Cowan
counseled the unions to get their
own legislative groups functioning
fast, and to meet with all progress
sive organizations in the community
in order that the peoples voice may
be heard in Washington.
Placed high on the agenda OF
unions throughout the country were
actions on these issues:
Tolan Committeeman wires to
the House Rules Committee. House

to individual Representatives. to
insure continuance of the commit

In his letter to the Congressman,

Events of the past year have
shown more clearly than ever the

sity" for abolishing the committee,
Cowan wrote. In earlier years the
Dies Committee has interfered with
the regular activity of professional
law enforcement agencies OF the
governor. but In wartime the COM
mittee's lack Of responsibility and
its friendliness to fascist groups has
become even more grave.

happy but profound conclusion.
 Concise, effective dialogue adds to the films impressiveness and a feelign of realism has been accom- plished through the use of authen- tic backgrounds which have been photographed with neWsreel fidelity. Particularly effective are scenes actually made inside the vast Vega Aircraft plant in Burbank, Calf. Filmed with the cooperation of U. S.. Army officials, these sequences re- veal intimate elements behind the building of Americas mighty air armada.
 Deanna's song, Begin the Be- guine," "Kashmiri Song," Say a Prayer for the Boys Over There and "Seguidilla" are presented under the supervision of Musical Director Charles Previn.

Stirring romance and appropriate, believable drama, have been deftly blended and brought to the screen in the new Deanna Durbin hit Hers to Hold" which began it's engagement at the air conditioned theater today.
 Deanna Durbin is co-starred with Joseph Gotten in a story, remark able for it's timeliness and com pletely satisfying for its vivid emo- tional appeal.
 Charles Winninger, Evelyn Ankers and Gus Schilling have important supporting roles and a large cast includes Nella Walker and Ludwig Stossel.
 Hers to Hold" is by far the most serious picture in which Miss Dur bin has been presented. Though the plot has its lighter moments, musi- cal interludes and other diverting highlights the bright romantic thread is never obscured. There is throbbing love theme which grips and olds attention from beginning to end. Deanna portrays the debu- tante who adores an Army aviator The aviator returns her love but secretly realizes the futility of the attachment. Gotten has the latter role and surpasses his previous per formanceS as the story reaches its
