THE PALM BEACH
STORY SHOWING
At 10Th CENTURY

If you want to get away from IL
all, lend an ear, an eye, to The
Palm Beach Story" the new Pres
ton Sturges comedy which IS. now
at the Goth Century Theatre, with
Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea
in the top starring spots, and Rudy
Vallee and Mary Aston featured.
1t tells of the marriage of Miss
Colbert and McCrea, five years old
and on the rocks because McCrea
is a financial failure. Claudette
thinks she's to blame that she
hasn't been as much of helpmeet
as she could have been and that
if they got divorce, she would be
better able to exercise her charms
on potential investors in his bust
ness. Then hilarious things hap
pen.
Rudy Vallee is a great surprise.
He comes through with an extreme
ly funny characterization, really
establishing himself as comedian
He sings an old number, but his
singing is incidental.
Mary Aston appears as vallee's
blonde, much-married sister and is
another fun feature, rounding out
a cast of stars bent on giving you
hilarious movie entertainment.

Conference Asks
Minimum PdY OF
SIS Cents Hourly

Washington, ID. C. QLNS) .s-- The
annual National Conferences on Labor
Legislation unanimously recommend
ed that "all states move as rapidly
sas possible to extend the benefits of
legal minimum wage rates of not less
than 65 cents an hour to all workers. .
The conference, called by the u. S.
Labor Department, was composed OF
labor commissioners and union repre-
sentatives from more than 40 states.
The committee on state regulation
of wages, hours and home work pro-
posed that an effective minimum wage
law should establish basic minimum
for women and minors and that no
man should be paid less than the
minimum.
1t also recognized that provision
for raising the statutory minimum
upon recommendation Of industry
wage boards representing employers,
workers and the public be approved.
Both proposals also were adopted
unanimously.
In a section on equal pay for men
and women, the conference recog-
nized that during the transition from
war to peace employment opportun-
tiles would decrease, resulting in
greater competition for jobs.
After pointing out that "the rate
for the job" as between men and
women performing comparable work,
was already a well-established prin-
ciple in collective bargaining, the CON
ference decided that this principle, in
all occupations should be strength
ened and made more effective by en-
actment of legislation in all states
similar to that now in effect in 5
states.
Referring to hours Of work, the
conference declared that relaxation Of
hour law standards should come to an
end on We day or sooner where
feasible, except in rare, isolated in
stances where the necessity for con-
tinuation of temporary relaxation
is established.

Fraser, the Legion approved:
A conference to be held in Wash
ington during the first ten days of

Executives Association and the United
Mine Workers of America, to adjust

between organized labor and the
American Legion.
A joint conference with representa-
tives of labor and industry at which
the general labor relations affecting

HOUSING Drive In Post War
Planned By Henry Kdiser

ownership of some plants closely
allied with the construction business,
including a large streamlined cement
plant in California, and his announce
ment this week of a cut in price for
the product of that plant in the face
of recent price increases by other
producers. They pointed out also the
close relationship between shipbuild-
ing and building, with many
carpenters and other former building
mechanics now employed in his yards.
Commenting on the outmoded con-
dition of millions of American homes
and the backlog of demand created by
war restrictions, Mr.. Kaiser said he
could see the possibility of "the great
est decade in residential construction
on record" Immediately after the war,
but warned that the future of the in
dustry rested on sound leading prac-
tices and said "the nation awaits a
constructive financing program which
will contribute to low-cost housing
"In the zeal to lend money for home
building there again will be the temp
tation to finance the cheap and un-
lovely type of dwelling which has been
blight on American communities for
DECADES" he continued.
"The jerry builder could not have
operated without financial assistance.
Such professional spectators are GER
tain to appear again to take advan-
tage Of a market where demand ex-
ceeds supply. There should be a
broad plan of agreement among all
lending agencies which will recognize
and help to establish minimum stand
ards in home building. If the Ameri-
can home means as much as our
declarations about it, we dare not
venture on a building boom which will
lay the foundations for new slum
areas in 1860"
He suggested that new materials
and methods might help to make the
desired low-cost home reality and
pointed out that ample funds were
awaiting investment in housing but
that these funds "must not be frozen
for fear of unemployment"

version and postwar PERIODS.
All-Out Effort Urged
The delegates representing state
labor departments and organized la
bor heard call for immediate all-out
effort to speed tagging war produc-
tion in critical materials and an out
line of foreseeable reconversion pos
sibilities which may vary with the
length of time it takes to achieve VIC
tory over Japan, once Germany is de-
feated.
The conference considered the
earliest possible return to peacetime
labor standards that is consistent
with the needs of the fighting fronts.
Many state labor laws were relaxed
during the war to increase produc-
tion The impact of reconverslon on
future state regulation of wages and
hours of work, safety and health,
child labor, migratory labor, work
mems compensation and similar prob
lens was discussed by various COM
mittees composed of state admins
traitors and other authorities in these
fields.
Miss Perkins declared state labor
department SHOULD be strengthened
with adequate authority and funds
and trained personnel to meet the
problems and opportunities that read
justment to peacetime production and
removal of many federal controls will
bring"

New York City (ILNS)-Six weeks
before the official opening of it's cam
paign for a minimum of $1,000, 1000,
the Free Trade Union Committee has
already received a contribution of
$100 from A. Philip Randolph, presi-

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters thus becomes the first of the

health committee we feel the trade

will be of great benefit to every one
working in the shops. From time TO
time we have tried to set up commit

health hazards, there is no doubt that
real progress will be made.

Pluns To Make Low
Cost Homes "A RedlitY

New York City.-Henry j. Kaiser,
kingpin of war production, intends to
turn his talents and resources to
home building when peace comes,
with the aim of bringing costs down
by large-scale production so that mil
lions more families can afford to own
modern dwellings,.
At a conference of the National
Committee on Housing at the Bilt-
more Hotel, Mr.. Kaiser expressed the
conviction that residential building
after the war could do for American
economy "what the automobile did
for US in the early Nineteen Twen-
ties" and said his organization had
been looking closely into the "tre-
mendous" potentialities of the hous-
ing problem After his speech, when
asked directly if he would enter this
new field he said:
"If we can be helpful, we will. |
call your attention again to the need
for cutting costs. That is the direc-
tion in which we are aiming and must
aim 1t is a matter of large-scale
output, although not necessarily in
volving prefabrication."
Citing his revolutionary methods
in other industries and their effect on
production, realty men and housing
experts called the prospect of Mr..
Kaiser's entry into home construction
zone of the most significant develop
ments" for the future Of their busi-
ness. They called attention to his

Stotes Responsible For
Good Labor Legislation

Washington, ID. G. ILNS. -
Unless the states enact decent
labor laws and vigorously en-
force them the federal govern
ment will be "pressured" to ex-
tend its authority, Secretary of
Labor Perkins told the opening
session of the National Confer
ence on Labor Legislation.
Addressing labor commission
ers and representatives of or
ganized labor from az states,
she said she has consistently
supported the limitation of fed
eral regulation but that she was
impelled to give state labor
commissioners "a friendly but
solemn warning that unless
states rights are matched with
state responsibility for decent
labor laws and for vigorous en-
forcement, pressures upon the
federal government will grow
i for further extension of it's
authority"

NEW YORK TEACHERS
ASK FOR PAY RAISE

Albany, N. Y. ULNS).-The En-
pire State Federation of Teachers
Unions has asked Gov. Dewey to sup
port an increase in the states mini
mum teacher salary from 81 200 to
81, 800.
In a telegram to Dewey, delegates
to a meeting of the federation de-
clared the organization believed "a
grave situation faces schools of the
nation with 100000 teacher short
age, with 10000 teaching on 'emerg-
eney certificates and with 10000 un-
covered classes"
'.Many teachers of the state have
received no wage adjustment since
1929" it continued. "Unless a COM
prehensive program to cope with this
situation is adopted, the schools will
lose their most inspirational person
alities at a most critical moment.
Standards will then have to be low
cred.
"We earnestly urge you to send a
special message to the Legislature
asking for an increased state salary
miniHum Of 81 800; an extension of
tenure to rural schools, and increased
financial aid to localities to enable
them to adjust salaries to the 20 to
40 per cent advance in the cost of
living"
The State Teachers Association, an
independent body, has been fighting
for $1,000 minimum salary. A bill
to that purpose was defeated at the
last legislative session.
