Asks Overtime Poy
After 40 Hours

President Roosevelt said today
that he had suggested a confer
ence between spokesmen for the
railroads and the brotherhoods
on a proposal from the non-
operating unions for payment of
overtime after 40 hours instead
of 48 as called for by present
schedules.
The President told his press con-
ference that he could not see why a
man employed by the Grand Gen.
trail Terminal. for example, should
not be paid overtime after 40 hours
when employees of some nearby in
dustry twho would be subject to the
Wage and Hour Act we're paid on
this basis.
The President took the matter
up with John J. Pelley, president
Of the Association of American Rail-
roads, and George M. Harrison,
president of the Railway and Steam
ship Clerks, one of the principle
incorporating groups The latter
discussed the overtime situation re-
Gently after an emergency board
had recommended an Scent hourly
increase for the incorporating
brotherhoods as against the 20 cents
they asked.
The White House also disclosed
today that Mr.. Roosevelt had
sent letter to Mr.. Pelley suggest
ing a meeting with David B. Rob-
ertson. president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men explaining that the brother
hood is dissatisfied with the recent
award of another emergency board
which sat on case involving the
pay basis and manning of Diesel

however, that in these troublesome
times everything possible and fair
but within the national policy
be done to dispose of management

interfering with the full and ade-

CHICAGO, June "A spokes-
man for Carnegie Illinois Steel re-
ported today that 800 men would be
laid off this week at the huge armor
plate plant in Gary, Ind.
Neither Carnegie Illinois nor
Army Ordnance would comment on
the reason for the layoff, but from
authoritative sources it was learned
that it would be correct to assume
that the Army has enough armor
plate for its tanks at the present
time.
The Carnegie Illinois spokesman
said there was a possibility that a
total of 400 men might be laid off
eventually. The armor plate plant
was built by the Army and began
to roll plates last October. It is one
of the largest plants OF its kind in

for someone else to do it, couldn't
he?" Adam asked.
The foreman frowned. IT reck-
on you're right" he admitted. HE
could be working with someone on
the outside" He shook his head
slowly. Sherman was sure right"
When he had gone, Adam sat
down and lit a cigaret. Sleep was
impossible. He was far more dis
turbed about the words on the slip
of paper than he would want any,
one to know. He had heard and
read too much about the various
ways in which saboteurs worked
to treat the matter of the anony-
nous note lightly. He blew
smoke ring and watched it float
up against the ceiling, his thoughts
troubled, confused.
Then suddenly he remembered
Peter Platt's play-and the read
ing Brenda had given that eve
ming. How in the devil was he 60
ing to find the time for rehearsing?
Especially now that trouble SEEM
ed to be creeping nearer and near
err the factory? Maybe he ought
to tell Mrs. Plat that he would
have to withdraw from the cast,
that she would have to get some
one else. But he hated to do that.
He knew how much the woman's
heart was set upon having h r
sons play produced, and the pro-
ceeds turned over to the organiza-
ton that was helping men like
Peter to hold on to their morale.
Besides, even in times of war peo-
pie were supposed to live as nor.
mally as possible, because it help
ed to keep an element of cheer
fitness in the business of daily
existence.
He got up, walked to the cot and
sat down upon its edge. There he
took off his shoes, bordering this
and bordering that. Finally he de-
cided that he'd try to go on with
his part in the play. 1t wouldn't
be fair to Mrs. Plat and the 9TH
ers to back out. Besides, it might
be fun to do something that would
take his mind off the factory, al
though those love scenes with Su-
san Potter bothered him. He hoped
Bill Potter would have sense
broad-minded enough
to realize it was only a play.
Just that and nothing more. Only.
he thought as he stretched out,
Susan Potter was a kissable sort
OF person, especially now that she
was taking an interest in her per-
sonal appearance. He closed his
eyes and began to drift off to
sleep, only to be haunted by
dreams that just missed b ng
nightmares. Dreams in which he
spent lot of time lodging Bill
Potter and bombs.
