Trout
Prospects
Are Good

LANSING March 27-Anglers
can look forward to low clear
streams for early trout fishing
this spring if there is no great
increase in rainfall in the next
few weeks according to conser-
vation department geologists
who interpret ground water
conditions.
Ground water levels rose
about L foot from mid-FebruaI y
to mid March, an amount that
would be insignificant in an
ordinary year when much snow
still remained on the ground.
This year, however, with the
ground practically bare ON
March Is, there is little chance
of sharp rise in the next peri
cd, geologists predict.
March water levels are .23
foot higher than last year and
.35 foot higher than the ten year
average. Because of the lack of
snow, however, plentiful rains
between the time the ground
thaws and vegetation growth be-
gins will be necessary to keep
ground water at normal levels.

Portal TO
Portal Pay
Upheld

WASHINGTON, March %,
(FP)-Adopting a broad and re-
alistic view of the Wage-Hour
act, the u. S. Supreme Court
upheld portal-to-portal pay for
the Mine Mill e. Smelter Work
ers (CIO) in a II decision
March 81 that admittedly ignor-
ed 'formalities" so dear to cor
poration lawyers.
Justice Frank Murphy's majority
decision said I'VE are dealing
with human beings and with a
statute that is intended to secure
TO them the fruits of their toll
and exertion."
The case was brought up by
three steel corpartions from the
5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
BY its action, the Supreme Court
upholds the ruling of the lower
court that iron ore miners en-
ployed by the Tennessee Coal
Iron g. Railroad Co, the Sloss-
Sheffield Co. and the Republic
Steel Corp, all of the Birming-
ham (Ala) area, are entitled to
be paid for time consumed in
reaching their places Of wor-'
far under the earth. The ruling
also said that such pay shall in
clude overtime rates when un-
derground travel exceeds the 40
hour workWeek.
Three Unions Involved
Three local unions of IUMM&
SW- -CIO are involved in the case.
The CLOS national office issued
a statement which hailed the
decision as "a great victory for
underground miners. The case
started i'm l94l and although it
is expected to have a material
effect on the plea Of the United
Mine Workers (unaffiliated) for
underground pay in its coal con-
tracts, the UNIV was not a part
to the action.
Champion Harris, attorney TO.
the IUMM&SW, and who also
appeared before the WLB for the
UNIV, said the case would bene-
fit the coal diggers because theis
is no difference between under;
ground time i'm coal and ore min
ing operations.
In casting aside the contention
of the corporations that the time
consumed was not work time,
the decision said: such travel
is not primarily undertaken for
the benefit Of the miners and
bears no relation whatever TO
their needs or the distance be-
tween their homes and the
mines. Rather the travel time is
spent for the benefit of the petit
TONERS and their iron ore min
ing operations. The extraction of
ore from these mines by its very
nature necessitates dangerous
travel in the petitioners under
ground shafts in order to reach
working faces, where production
actually occurs. Such hazardous
travel is thus essential to peti-
TONERS production"

Smelf Still Healthy

ANN ARBOR, March 9-The
smelt population of Crystal Lake
which escaped the plague that
nearly wiped out the species in
other Michigan waters last year
is still healthy according to
tests made by biologists from
the conservation departments
institute for fisheries research.
Tests made this winter as part
of a study begun in 1928 showed
that the average size and growth
rate this year compared favor
ably with that of former years
indicating a healthy smelt popu-
lation in the lake.

Duck Flights
Are Errufic

Field men of the Conservation
Division have reported a sub
stantial increase in the number
of migrating ducks and geese on
Ohio's streams and ponds. The
number of bluebills, or scaups,
especially is attracting notice,
some experts estimating the in
crease at 25 percent or more.
Bluebills were lost through
out the country last fall on Their
southwark migrations, failing to
appear on many of the usual
lakes and reservoirs. Investiga-
ton showed that they stayed
mainly in the open water of the
largest lakes only, and few birds
of this species were taken by
shore gunners. Some hunters
eontend that lack of feed was
the cause, but another group
claim that the consistent target
practice of the armed forces
along Lake Erie, and also along
the Atlantic Coast, tended to
make the birds irregular in their
flight. 1t is possible that both
feed and gunnery practice at-
fected the movements somewhat,
but it is also true that the main
flight of scau, as well as some
other hardy species of water
fowl, did not move south until
very late in the season.
The number of widgeon, black
ducks and goldeneyes on the
spring flight has also increased
noticeably. Huge flocks of fish
duck, or mergansers, and NAL
lards, have been reported. The
advance numbers of green-wing
and wing teal have already
been reported as far north as
Columbus, due to the open
spring, though blue-wings, which
love warm weather enough to
have earned the name of sum
mer teal" are not expected in
great numbers for a few weeks.

WLB Turns Down
Rest Period PIeo

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (FP)-A
request for two Commute rest
periods for employees of the St.
Louis Mississippi Glass Co. was
rejected by the regional War
Labor Board here, although the
board granted sc hourly wage
increase retroactive to July l,
1943.
The case, which involved
members of the American Flint
Glas Workers (AFL), was fol-
lowed closely by unions in this
area because of the interest in
the rest period request. The
union based its request on health
reasons, contending that the
workers jobs expose them to ex-
treme heat.

kub

EAST LANSING, March IL
A sure sign of approaching
spring, the arrival of rare sand
hill cranes at their nesting
grounds in the Corey marsh in
Clinton county, has been noted
by conservation department field
men. The birds arrived on March
18, date nearly half way be-
tween the time of their arrival
last year, when they appeared
on the marsh March IA, and
the date they came north the
three previous years, according
to records of the migration kept
at Rose Lake wildlife expert
ment station.
Other spring migrants that
have already made their way
back to Michigan and have been
noted by c. T. Black, district
game manager, are robins, blue
birds, meadoWlarks, red winged
blackbirds, several kinds of
ducks, and Canada geese.

Wolverine
State Isn't

LANSING, March q -
There is only one case on
record when a wolverine was
actually taken in Michigan
and that was one that escaped
from the Detroit zoo and had
originally been imported from
Alaska, the conservation depart
ment game division reports IN
answer to queries concerning the
existence of that animal in the
state.
Since Michigan adopted the
wolverine as state animal and
University of Michigan teams
are called Wolverines, there has
been much controversy over the
question.
DR.. L. R. Dice, mammalogist
of the University Museums and
former coach Fielding H. Yost
both spent a great deal of time
investigating the history of the
wolverine in Michigan and
neither was able to find proof
of the taking of a single vol
VERNE in the state.
What! No Wolverines
A few records indicating tho
possible presence of wolverine il
pioneer days were from Alex.
ander Henry who bought somC
wolverine peltS in the northern
peninsula. The furs he bought
however, were brought to hin
there by Indians and came from
northern Wisconsin, northern
Minnesota and the Dakotas d
well as Michigan; so it could no
be proved that these pelts were
actually taken in the state.
Up to the present Dice's con
clusions in his bulletin "WilC
Mammals of Michigan" express
the opinion of game men on tn,
controversy. The wolverine
pro b b / y originally occurred
sparsely in the state, but as fa
as is known no Michigan speci
mems have ever been preserved
in any museum nor reported b,
a mammalogiSt, " he states.
