WLB RELAXES RULES
ON WAGES, BONUSES
TO STATE WORKERS

RALEIGH, Dec. 4.-R- Recent
relaxations of WLB regulations
governing wages and bonuses
were announced today by Mrs.
Pauline Horton, Federal represen-
tative of the wage-nour division
and agent for the War Labor Board
in North Carolina.
Year-end bonuses up to $25 in
leash or value may be paid en-
ployees without WLB approval,
Mrs. Horton said, adding that such
limited amount bonuses may be
paid even if employees have been
given no bonuses in the past.
E'Tnis does not mean, however,
that $25 can be added to bonus
plans already in effect, nor does
| it limit bonus amounts in excess
of $25 which were legally paid
last year," she said.
Voluntary wage increases which
do not bring hourly rates above SO
cents may now be put into effect
by employers without the neces-
sity OF obtaining WLB approval.
s"Tnis merely eliminates the neces.
sity of filing an application in
such cases since the board has,
in the past, regularly approved
applications for permission to pay
up to so cents an hour Mrs. Hor.
ton said.

1000 Allied Planes
Hit German Railways
Continued from Page One)

In one of the wars greatest CO.
ordinated blows against rail traf-
fic, some 1000 Flying Fortresses
and Liberators accompanied by
1 1000 fighters hammered the trans
portation hubs of Soest, Kassel,
Zebra, Giessen and the Rhine city
of Mainz.
A force Of about 500 Raj Lam
casters escorted by Spitfires and
Mustangs smashed the RUM val
lev center of Oberhausen.
The great sky armada ran into
heavy clouds over its targets and
bombed by instrument.
First reports said no enemy
fighter opposition was encounter
ed, permitting the escorting fleet
Of Mustangs Thunderbolts and
Spitfires and continent b d
Lightnings of the U. S. Ninth Air
Force to strafe the area thorough
ly.
Oberhausen, in the western end
of the Ruhr, had three enormous
freight yards, one of which Ger
man railway officials considered
the most efficient in the Reich be-
fore the war.
The switch. from oil targets to
transportation lines may mean
that the intensive seven months
bombing campaign of German re-
|fineries has forced the Nazis to
dip deeply into their reserves -
which they must get to the front
mainly by rail tank cars and
| trucks.
An Eighth Air Force official es-
timated the Germans have stored
four to five million tons of fuel
in underground reservoirs.

| SUPREME COURT SAYS
WORKERS, WAITING
FOR WORK, DUE PAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - R -
The Supreme Court held today
that, in some cases at least, en-
n1oves are entitled to overtime pay
for waiting idle until some work
turns up.
The court, however, declined to
Law down flat rule that SUCH pay
ment is mandatory under the Fair
Labor Standards Act. The circum-
stances govern in each individual
case, the opinions cn two separate
cases said, and it is up to trial
courts to determine the facts.
In one case, involved private
firemen at an Armour. and co.
soap factory in Chicago, the lower
courts held that exclusive OF time
spent sleeping and eating the en-
ployees were entitled to overtime
nav for time spent as fire guards
at night. They remained on the
company's property at night after
completing a regular 8 am to 2
.ms shift as firemen.
The Supreme Court uphelo tne
lower court in awarding overtime
payments in this case.
In the other case involving EN-
ployes in similar situation at the
Swift and Co. plant at Fl. worth,
Texas. the lower courts had denleo
the EMPLOYEES claim to overtime
compensation.
The Supreme Court reversed the
lower courts in the Swift case
declaring that there is no principe
of law which precludes waiting
time from also being work time;
That case goes back to the trial
court for a decision on the 'clrcum-
stances involved.

serted. "is a countrywide matter

is controlled by the State OF North
Carolina and its respective coun-
ties. and when the county levies
a tax rate the city pays its full
share.
IF the city pays when the coun-
ty levies taxes, and then levles
itself, the city pays more than its
share"
The proposed legislation on the
eitvs contribution to the board OF
health follows:
"section /. That the governing
body of the City of Wilmington is
hereby authorized and empowered
in its discretion to contribute and
pay up to and/or two-thirds part
of all salaries, fees and expenses
