Potomac River Dam
Proposals Protested
By Coal Association
Claims Adverse Effect
On Industry, Miners
And Railroads

! A spokesman for the National Coal
Association today filed with Chair
man Randolph of the House Dis
trict Committee a protest against
the suggested hydroefectric devel-
opment at or near Great Falls which
lis being considered in connection
with construction of a number of
flood-control dams across the Po-
tomac River
J. D. Battle, executive secretary
of the association. said a hydro
electric development would cause
loss to coal producers, coal miners,
the railroads, and declared there
was no need for such development
because Washingtons electric power
rates already are among the lowest
in the country.
The statement was sent to Mr.
Randolph both because he is head
of the District Committee and be-
cause he is a Representative from
West Virginia, coal producing
State.
Miss James Report Cited.
Accompanying the letter was a
copy of the discussion of the prob
lem by Miss Harlean James. exec
utive secretary of the American
Planning and Civic Association,
published in The Star of last Sun
day, relating to studies being made
by the District Engineers Office of
the Army Engineers.
Mr. Battle said: "If such a hydro
electric plant is built, it will mean
the displacement of thousands of
tons of coal annually. very much
to the loss of West Virginia, the
producers of coal, the men who
labor in the mines and the rail-
roads that transport coal.
I'VE don't think it is necessary
We have an excellent power plant
in Washington and one of the lowest
rates that I know anything about
and I would hate very much to see
this large displacement of COAL
Much Correspondence.
Mr. Randolph withheld judgment
on the issue, except to say that
he had received considerable cor
Irespondence from the West Virginia
Panhandle and that some of this
was pro and some con.
Miss James had explained the
question OF hydroelectric develop
ment involved destruction or dam
age to the scenic beauties of Great
Falls and neighboring areas to be
included in the George Washington
Memorial Parkway.

Little Inch Pipeline,
Delayed Two Months,
Revealed as Faulty
Deputy Administrator
Says Condition Has Cost
Eust Millions of Gallons
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

A tWo-month delay in completion
OF the Little Inch" pipeline has
cost the East several million barrels
of petroleum products, while de-
fects in the pipe probably never will
permit use of the line for its full
load, Ralph Davies, deputy petrol
cum administrator, declared today
The Little Inch" is a 1.476-mile
line which runs from the Texas oil
fields to the Philadelphia-New York
area. 1t is 2l-inch line, slightly
smaller than the big Inch" and
cost the Government S75.OOO,OOO
Defense Plant Corp, RFC subsidi-
airy which financed the project. is
said to have called for a complete
engineering report on reasons for
the pipe defects.
Mr.. Davies said pumps would be
started this week to send a small
amount of heating oil through the
line. Engineers will try to build up
as far as possible, the load which
the Little Inch" can safely handle
He said it was doubtful whether the
line would carry more than 80 per
cent of the expected peak of 235, 900
barrels day.
The pipeline, Mr.. Davies said, had
been tested with water. In the
course of this process the pipe broke
and leaked in 80 to 10 places" The
leaks all have been repaired.
Mr.. Davies explained the Little
Inch was constructed with three
kinds of pipe, about half of which
was welded type that has proved
defective in operation. At the time
the material was ordered, mills that
make extruded pipe. the kind ordi-
narily used, were filled to capacity
with other orders. This forced the
War Production Board to allocate
welded pipe for the job.
The Little Inch" was scheduled
to begin operation about two
months ago. While this delay has
not resulted in any more serious oil
shortage in the East. Mr.. Davies
said it had reduced the margin OF
safety in the Atlantic Seaboaro
supply.

Federal Cafeterias
Found Not Guilty Of
Hour Law Violation
Association Is Fined SIS
However, for Failure to
Keep Adequate Records

! Judge Thomas D. Quinn ruled
Yesterday in Municipal Court that
the Welfare and Recreation Asso-
citation. nonprofit corporation
operating Government cafeterias
was not guilty of violating the eight
hour-day law when it worked its
female clerical employees more than
eight hours day.
On the charge of failing to keen
! adequate records as to number of
hours worked by employees as pre-
scrlbed by law, Judge Quinn found
the association guilty and imposed
S25 fine.
/ In his decision Judge Quinn stated
the rs clerical workers of the cafe
terra chain could not be considered
within the scope of the act which
prohibits restaurant, cafeteria, OF
manufacturing establishment from
working its female employees more
than eight hours day or 48 hours
week.
Referring to the clerical employees
the opinion said: 1T would require
a considerable stretch of the imagi.
nation and involve far-fetchec
construction to hold that office per
sonnel of this character may prop
erly be held to be employed in {
restaurant.
The statute appears to be clea
and unambiguous; it was intended
to protect female employees in Ger
tain types of businesses, among then
restaurants. Office workers. as such
are not included within the provi.
sions of the statute"
Judge Quinn went on to state tha
restaurant employees are required tt
do manual work and therefore tht
restriction on their hours exists, bu
Office workers do not need this pro
lection because of the nature O.
their work.
Judge Quinn said that it "woulc
undoubtedly do violence to the con
gressional intent to apply the eight
hour-day statute to groups of ofic,
workers solely for the arbitrary rea
son that the employer is operatin.
from its central Office establishment
governed by the act"
