War Labor Board Favors Greater Pay For Vacations

WASHINGTON. - Workers may get more vacation pay in plants where a longer work week has been put into effect, the VILE. has announced.
 Where an existing contract pro- vides for one or two weeks vaca- ton with pay but does not specifi- cally state the number of hours pay each employee is to receive. and new and longer work week has been adopted since execution of the contract, the company may pay vacation allowance on the basis of the current work week (excluding overtime) without seek ing Board approval.
 Where the contract specifically pro- vides the number of hours pay to be allowed, the Board may approve changes in such plans to relate the amount being paid to the revised work schedule. For example, where a vaca- tion plan provided for 40 hours vaca- ton pay, the Board could approve an increase to AS hours straight time va cation pay in the event the employees now are working regular 48-hour week.

CARL CALASSO, vice-president of the Conn. Federation of Labor, who is a barber by trade is contri- outing to the war production pro- gram by working as lathe opera tor at the Electrical Specially Co.,, Stamford. CalassO said he was sur- prised to discover that he had a hidden talent for this work which he picked up in a few months of part-time training.
 A HEADLINE from the Tarry- .tOtOn (N. Y.) Daily NetVs reflects the opinion of many eastern mo- tOrists:
 GAS BAN IS OFF; NO IT'S ON NO IT'S OFF; NO IT'S ON; NUTS!
 ALTHOUGH AMERICAN labor has been defamed by anti-labor Congressmen, and old line politi- clans have sneered that there is no labor vote, the day of reckoning is dawning. Evidence the workers have learned their lesson, is DOT trayed in the united legislative committees springing up in Connec- ticut as we'll as the rest of the coun- try.
 IN THIS connection, the news that labor in Canada and in Aus tralia have scored decisive election victories recently, is heartening. Organized labor all over the world can come into its own and should do so, in order to make this world free from want and fear and undue exploitation by the selfish inter- ests. To accomplish this it must win on the political as we'll as on the battle fronts.

Rails Accused Of COuging Uncle Sam

An investigation of charges that railroads are gouging Uncle Sam on shipments Of war materials consigned to Pacific war zones was ordered this week by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Years ago the carriers set up ex- port rates which are about half as high as domestic rates. To obtain ad vantage of lower charges, shippers are required to state on bills of lading the names of the vessels in which goods are to be loaded, the sailing date and destination and other infor- nation.
 Because the government cannot SUD- ply these details, for military reasons, the carriers have denied the govern ment the bargain" rates.

 A NEW YORK executive of a large newspaper chain unexpected ly turned up in the office of one of the chains weaker links in the hinterlands. Striding to the city desk, he picked up a newspaper lying there and made a violent ges- ture of disapproval.
 ''This is terrible,'' he declared. 'sThe front page explains every thing. No wonder our circulation here is so stinkO!''
 Thereupon, the New York execu- tive proceeded to explain in detail what was wrong with the newspa- per's front page.
 In his opinion, every story on it was misplayed, overplayed, under: played, Overwritten or badly ham, died.
 The managing editor, city editor, slot man and a few staff members attracted by the rumpus grinned as the New York executive stormed into his peroration: ''No wonder we can't sell as many papers as the opposition with that kind of front page!''
 Noticing the grins, he demanded, What are you all SO happy about?''
