SHIRT COMPANY
 PLEADS GUILTY
Charged With Violating Wage Law on 38 Counts;
 $I5,OOO in Back Pay

Hartford, Connecticut, March 16 Harry Kaufman, president of the New England Shirt Company, Inc, and the Duro. Wear Shirt CO. Inc of 7-9 Montgomery street, Danbury Connecticut, pleaded guilty to 3S counts in an information alleging violations of the minimum wage, overtime compensation, record keeping and interstate shipment provisions of the Federal Wage and Hour Act upon arraignment today before Judge J. Joseph Smith in U s. District Court.
 The case was continued to April 14 when Judge Smith will impose sentence. The defendants, Kauf- man and the two corporations, re- uuested a continuance of month in order to give them an opportu- nity to make payment of approxi- mately $15,000 in back wages which had been illegally withheld from employees.
 The information, filed by United States Attorney Robert P. Butler on behalf of the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U. s. Department of Labor, con- cerned mostly violations of the minimum wage provision of the Federal Wage and Hour Act (Fair Labor Standards Act).
 The defendants have agreed to pay restitution of back wages to employees as computed by the Wage and Hour Division. Attorney James Altieri, attached to the staff of New York Regional Attorney Irving Roz- en of the U. S. Department of La- Dor, will represent the government when the defendant appears for sentence on April IA.

FUEL OIL RATI0NS
NOW BEING MAILED

RALEIGH, May 18 - The Ra.
leigh District Office of Price Ad
ministration said today that 81, 96s
fuel oil re-application forms are
now being mailed by local wal
price and rationing boards to fue.
oil users for next seasons fuel oil
Theodore S. Johnson, district di
rector, urged that applications be
returned to local boards at once
and added that ''the sooner these
applications are returned to the
boards, the sooner the boards will
issue the fuel oil coupons for mex
winter. We want the coupons issu-
ed early so that householders may
begin to receive their fusl oil de-
liveries early for next season."
Sixty-two local war price and
rationing boards in Eastern North
Carolina are getting the appli-
cation blanks into the mails this
week, Johnson sadi.
However, boards can begin issu-
ing the coupons early only if every
consumer cooperates in mailing in
his completed application within
seven days after receiving it, John.
son said.
It is important for several rea-
sons that householders fill their
fuel tanks in July.
First, oil dealers will be in a
better position to serve the con-
sumner throughout the heating year
if they can make their first de-
liveries early. Early deliveries will
help hem solve their pressing
and trucking equipment
problems by spreading out deliver
les more evenly.
Second, by filling up consumer
tanks early, dealers will be able
to refill their own tanks and there.
by add appreciably to the total
storage capacity of the rationec
area for use later in the winter
Third, in order to assure prompt
action on the part of the busy
local boards, it is imperative that
consumers file their applications
with as little delay as possible.
This years form contains only
six simple questions, johnson
poined out, which can be filled out
in a few minutes and gent back by
return mail to the local board from
which it was mailed. Only the first
answered by persons renewing
three of the six questions need be
rations for premises other than
private dwellings.
The renewal application is to be
answered only by householders
whose oil ration last year was for
the same address as this year.
Other consumers will be given an
opportunity later on to fill out a
special application.
