workers are very low, despite SUP
posedly universal high wages as Il
result of the war.
I'm addition to the increase of bill
lions i'm basic wages over the years,
direct and indirect along the line, as
the universal 40 cents an hour mini
mum under the act was reached, over
time premium pay last year alone put
well over $2,000,000000 into the pay
envelopes of American workers,
Walling said.
''Some parts of this would have been
paid anyway in the absence of the act
under union contracts or by enlight-
ened employers, but by making time
and one-half nearly universal after 40
: hours in interstate industry, the act
made it mandatory for both the or
ganized and the morganized plants
and removed the pressure of cut-throat
competition from non-complying plants.
AT the same time it served the
nation by attracting additional labor
to war industries where labor was
vitally needed-and long hours were
JtNUIutU ut iliShNi iettN' - '''''
served as q brake on abSenteeiSm,
since absences at any time in the week
caused loss of time-and-one-half
rather than straight time pay.
Even i'm this last year when the
total of wages paid out was the great
est in our history, workers under the
act made an average of less than $40
Il week, even including overtime prem
ium pay.
Minimum Pay Violated
Considerably over 100000 workers
still are paid less than 40 cents an
hour, less than SIG for a 40-hour week.
Considerably more than 100000 of
these are in agriculture and domestic
service; 100000 are in industry and
retail and service trades outside the
protection of the act.
"Violations of the accent legal mini
mum wage under the act also continue
to a surprising degree. Last year
S1S,620, 1863 in restitution of Illegally
withheld wages was agreed to or
ordered paid by the Wage and Hour
Division, L. S. Department of Labor,
to 534, ,422 workers in 20,622 establish
! ments. Failure to pay the minimum
wage of 80 to 40 cents an hour was
involved in 2S per cent of these cases
and restitution of such minimum wages
was found due more than 100000
workers, about one-fifth of all illegally
underpaid.
Another 100000 workers not in
agriculture or domestic service make
between 40 and so cents an hour, Sl6,-
$40 a week. and further 3,500,00o
get from 80 to 60 cents an hour, from
$40 to $24 for a 40-hour week.
One-third Make Under $2i Weekly
"Thus one-third of all workers out
side agriculture and domestic service,
including those under the act and
those outside its protection, got S24
or less for Il 40-hour week last year

Any overseas company of Wacs

Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
I Have decided to write you few
lines to let you know that every
thing is still OK. here in Daytona.
On the 9Th of January, 1914, it
will be a year that I've been in the
service and to me it seems such q
short time.
This Cantonment Area where I'm
at is just exactly like mems camn
We have two-story barracks and a
few one-floor barracks.
Our Halifax hospital, dental
clinic and everything here in camp
is beautiful.
I had never been on sick call
since I've been here until yesterday.
I went to the dentist and I had two
molars filled and a wisdom tooth
pulled out.
Mr.. Pottinger, it certainly makes
me feel bad when I read about the
boys from Nogales who have been
killed in action.
MY brother Antonio Sinohui is
now overseas somewhere in England
and I wish I was abroad too but

accomplished our job in a very neat
way, so now am raring to 60 again
and hope that I am as lucky as
before.
How is the old Border doing? I
hope that we can soon end things
up here. 50 that we can all return
home. Whenever you see any of my
friends tell them that old Bazurto
is still kicking around.

you very merry Christmas and a
