WALSH-HEALY ACT

The next Legislative Act for our discussion .

tracts Act passed on June 80, 1886. This Act :
sets basic labor standard for work done on
United States Government contracts exceed
ing $40 100000. 1t applies to employees other
than office, administrative, custodial and main
tenance, engaged in the manufacture, fabrica-
ton, assembling, handling or shipment of
materials supplies, articles, or equipment re-
quired under such contracts. This law does
not generally apply to subcontractors; how
ever, if it is the regular practice in the prime
contractors industry to manufacture certain
items, subcontractorS performing any such
work are covered. Minimum wages are estab-
lished on the basis of prevailing minimum
rates in the particular industry. In order to
obtain the minimum rate for any particular
industry, it is advisable to contact the nearest
Wage-Hour Office.
HOURS AND WAGES
The basic hours of work are eight in any
one day, forty in any one week. Overtime
work must be compensated at time and one
half the workers regular rate. The law pro-
hibits the employment of boys under sixteen
and girls under eighteen. There are, how
ever, some wartime relaXations of these pro-
visions Any Government contract conform
ing to the above cannot be performed nor the
materials, supplies, articles or equipment man.

that the employers maintain record of in
juries on quarterly basis beginning with jan
uary l of each year. Whenever an employer

The Silent Treatment

Dear Sir:
Have you noticed the silent
treatment that is being given
Tom Burke's activities in City
Council? l wonder why.
One thing l would like to
bet on is that Mike Disable Is
being groomed to be the next,
and l hope the last Mayor
under the p. r. system.
That reminds me to remind
you that no petitions for the
repeal of the P. r. system
have found their way into our
shop since somebody discov-
cred the last ores were sour.
Tell the PAC crowd. to get
going before it's too late to get
enough petition signers.

TWO ROADS

TWO ROADS
There are two roads we
can travel after thi. war. One
will lead to a high degree of
industrial peace; the other
will lead to industrial chaos.
One will mean high levels of
employment, high levels of
wages, high levels of produc-
ton, the ability to service our
natio nal debt in other
words, prosperity. The other
road will lead to lowered en-
ployment, lowered wages,
lowered standards of living,
inability to service our ma
tional debt and, of course,
bankruptcy eventually"

Anxious Moment

test when the Portland bat boy

could be shooed back to the field
Seattle had men on base and was

QUESTION: Why are the pray
ers still recited mainly in He
brew?
ANSWER: While the talmudic
sages, in general, were of the
opinion that any language was
permissible for prayer, there was
a minority who insisted that only
Hebrew be the language (see
Tractate Sotah 32,33). The techni-
cal decision of law was given to
the majority who claimed per-
mission to pray in any language.
Still. it remains a fact that GUS
tom which many a time overrides
law in Jewish religion, insisted
that the prayers be mainly in He
brew. This was practically uni
versally accepted until the middle
of the 10Th century when the re-

form movement swept Germany
and a Jewish prayer-book COM
pIetely in German was published
under the leadership of Geiger.
This aroused the antagoniSm of
the Orthodox Leaders and RabbiS
and the result was a long debate
over the subject which entered in
to philosophical rift between the
two sects of Judaism. Today the
Orthodox and Conservative syna-
gogues still conduct the prayers
mainly in Hebrew. There seems
to be at least two good reasons
for this continuity. The leaders
of Jewry always felt that the
highest expression could be Civ
en- to the Jewish soul when it
articulates itself in its own lang
uage = Hebrew. We have only
to imagine our cherished syna-
gogue melodies sung in English
to realize that it would be as in
complete as singing an Italian
operate solo in English. Second
ly, the uniformity of language in
prayer has the ingenious power
of linking the scattered fragments
of Israel throughout the world.
The Hebrew language serves an
undeniable purpose in the unfit
cation of the ranks of Israel. With
out it our bonds would certainly
have been much weaker. 1t is one
of the common denominatorS of
the Jewish people. It would then
be plausible to understand, then,
that the original reform move
ment which denied the Jews the
name of a people should strike out
the Hebrew language from the
prayer book. It must be noted
however, that even the most Or
thodox of prayer books contain
Aramaic prayers which were the
result of the influence of the YER
nacular tongues on our people.
Today, modern Orthodox prayer
books are usually accompanied by
direct English translations and
modern Orthodox Rabbis oc-
casionally inject some English
prayers into the service. The
precaution is always taken, how
ever, not to substitute the verna-
cular tongue for the Hebraic. With
the steadily increasing popularity
of the Hebrew language, it seems
safe to assume that Hebrew shall
always remain the basic tongue of
prayer for the Jewish people.

Larger D. {. Fund Sought
To House Child Wards

Unable to find enough private
boarding homes for child wards Of
the Board of Public Welfare, the
Commissioners are seeking a change
of language in a 43-year-old budget
restriction SO sectarian institutions
may be paid for the care of addi-
tional children, it developed today.
Under a rule adopted by Congress
in 1902, no more than $4,000 a year
may be paid by the District to any
one sectarian institution for care
of District wards in their homes.
Because Of lack of suitable quarters
elsewhere in war-crowded Washing
ton, the Commissioners are seeking
to raise the limitation to 5000 an
nually.
The new language was included In
proposed additional supplemental
items transmitted to Congress by
the President, calling for $33, 900 for
the District, mostly for Gallinger
Hospital.
For the replacement of an old re-
frigeration plant at Gallinger the
Commissioners seek $25, 900 and an
additional $1,000 Is asked for con-
