Fruit Grower league was sure
that if Congress hamstrung the
Farm Security Administration, the
Mexican. Government would bucl.
at negotiating new labor con-
tract, and there would be costly
delays to, California fruit growers.
So league wanted the Mexicans
imported under the existing con-.
tract.
But Ed O'Neal got to him, urged
him to hold back. He admitted
leagues plan would work, but said
he didn't want it put through un-

the WLB called the board into ex-

they could not pay retroactive
wages due to inability to raise
prices. The National Supply Com.

2. The employees ask for an ad-
ditional increase in wages based
upon claims not presented to or
considered by the Stacy board or
the sterilization director.
3. They ask for the payment Of
time and half for time worked
in excess of forty hours per week.
The Fair Labor Standards Act con.
tains a provision excluding en-
ployees of railroads from the pro
visions of the act.
Last May l announced that I be-
lieved railroad employees should
be paid time and half for time
worked in excess of 40 hours pc
week as practically all other en-
ployees are paid. This can be &C
conpished either by Congress re
pealing the exemption provision OF
by agreement of the employer:
and employees. l think it should
be done by agreement.
1t has also been represented
that as to large proportion p1
the operating employees the exigen.
cies of the railroad service and
questions in respect of existing
rules and practices create prac.
teal and administrative Difficult
ties in the application of a strict
overtime requirement. 1t was also
represented that payment of time
and half to some and not regu-
larly to all would create discrimi-
nations.
1t also has been represented
that by reason of the character
of their work, these employees
necessarily incur heavier expenses
when away from home.
After consideration of these rep
reservations, I determine that five
cents per hour effective im1ne-
diately shall be paid as the equiv
alent of or in lieu of claims for
time and half pay for time over
40 hours for expenses while away
from home.
4. Among the. issues presented
to me was the claim for vacation
pay.
I determine that employees shall
be entitled to vacation of one
week year with pay at the
basic hourly rate of employment.
5. further determine that the
Increases in pay above recited
shall be paid until proclamation
by the President or declaration
by the Congress of the cessation
Of hostilities; and that the agree
ment now arrived at in time of
war shall be without prejudice to
rights of either party at the ex-
piration of the date above stated
to seek change in the agree
ment which is now made.
am advised by the economic
director that the
foregoing determinations are in
conformity with the national sta
program.
