he may enter the select realm
of those who have bowled a per-
feet 800 game; but few, very few,
ever see that dream become a
reality.
Such, howver, was the reali-
zatien of Ray Crouthcin, who
while bowling recently for Dad S
Service League in the Roseville
Recreation, chalked up a perfect
score. On Wednesday night
Crouthein was presented a watch
fob and ring at the South Ma
comb ten pin house by Frank
Mitzel, secretary of the Bowlers'
Association of Detroit and mem
Der of the American Bowling
Congress.
A crowd had gathered around
Crouthein the night he bowled
his perfect game. Seward Dav-
export, bowling alley proprietor
said, and in the last frame he
put down ball that he hoped
would again hit the right poe
ket. The ball went TO the left,
however, Davenport said, and
after it struck the ten pins, No.
8 swayed to one side and the
other, and it looked as if Crou
them had met his waterloo. The
pin finally fell, however, and the
perfect game was completed.
About IT'S average bowler,
Crouthein has been participat-
ing in the sport about Is years,
Davenport said, and his 800
score was the first perfect game
that has ever been boWled in the
Roseville Recreation which has
been in operation for six years.

PATTERSON ASKS
75c MINIMUM
And IS HOUR WEEK

WASHINGTON (FP--One Of the new
California liberals, Rep Ellis Patterson
ID. Cali has introduced bill calling
for amendment of the federal wage and
hour law to provide 75c minimum wage
and 35-hour week
The bill HR 3719, broadens the defi-
milton of commerce" to include all en-
ployers engaged in trade, traffic, COM
merce, transportation or communication
among the several states so as to cover
thousands now barred from federal labor
laws.
Patterson's bill would prohibit child
labor and bars the inclusion Of tips,
board, lodging or other facilities custo-
marily furnished in figuring wages. It
calls for payment of time and a half
after 35 hours unless by contract or
NLRB order an agreement has been
reached for employment of up to 1000
hours in any 26-week period or 1000
hours for So weeks.
To attain the 75c minimum wage, in
dustry committees composed of labor
industry and public members are to be
set up to recommend minimum rates SO
that, without curtailing employment the
objective Of Use will be reached as rapid
ly as possible.
Montana labor news., 1945-07-19

introduced by Congressman John w.
Gynne R,-Iowa), the bill lays down a
one-year limit on all types of damage
suits under number of federal laws.
However, its real aim, union chiefs said.
is to cripple the Wage-Hour Act and cut
down the period in which workers can
collect back wages chiseled from them
by employers who violate the act.
1t was written in broader terms only
to get it before the House Judiciary com
mittee, where it might receive a friend
ly" reception, union leaders declared.
Had it been confined to the Wage-Hour
law it would have gone to the House
Labor committee, which would have been
more critical
Bad as a One-year limitation may be,
an even worse feature of the measure is
that it would permit states to write a
shorter limitation, thus freeing employ
ers of nearly all liability to workers who
have been cheated of wages legally due
them.
One Of the strongest attacks on the
measure came from L. Metcalfe Walling.
administrator of the Wage Hour Act. In
a vast number of cases, he said viola
tons Of the act do not come to light for
several years. either because workers
hesitate to lodge complaints for fear Of
being fired or because the wage-hour
division, with its inadequate staff. can
not make eheckups promptly.
Under the bill he said. such employees
would lose all rights to back pay except
for the year prior to starting court ac-
ton At present, the Wage Hour Act
has no time limit on back wage claims.
THE one-year period constitutes
major abrogation of employees rights
which Congress intended to assure"
Walling declared. "Wilful and flagrant
violators are relieved Of the major part
of their liability.
Furthermore, the proviso giving states
freedom to reduce the limit will lead to
competition among them to lower the
protection as an attraction to low-wage
employers, and thus undermine labor
standards throughout the country" wal
ling added.
His position was supported by many
labor witnesses, including Lewis C. Hines,
AFL legislative representative, and Off
cials Of several affiliated unions, includ-
ing the Ladies' Garment Workers and
the Machinists.
However like Walling, who suggested
a three-year limitation as a compromise,
the union spokesman insisted that it
should not be less than five years and
the states should not be permitted to
undercut the figure.

from the advertisers.

why most papers and particularly the
more powerful chains such as Scripps

Patterson axis are blowing their horns
for the Ban-Burton-H Hatch labor strait

One of the most potent factors moving
in the shadows back of the measure to
force compulsory arbitration and foul up
the Wagner act is the so-called Auto
motive Council for War Production.
This organization, domiciled in Detroit,
is simply the wartime face of the Auto

George Romney. During the war he is
managing director of the Automotive

Romney operates in the name Of the

of General Motors and the Chrysler

One WORLD And
LABOR
BY Federated Press

Settlement Of the Polish question
pushes the future Of Greece up to top
place on the agenda of the Big Three
meeting, being held in Germany. Reports
from inside Greece indicate that events
are rapidly reaching a crisis there, with
the monarchists plotting seizure of
power to reinstall King George, favored
boy Of the British.
Danger of the coup was revealed by the
central committee of EAM, the national
resistance movement which succeeded in
iberating most Of Greece before the ar
rival of British and American troops.
EAM warned the regent and the govern
ment to take drastic measures to avert
the coup and demanded the dissolution
Of the Military League and all fascist
organizations.
Activities Of the Military League and
the monarchists show that the coup is
dangerously close. Police are raiding the
houses Of democratic citizens and mass
arrests have begun in several quarters in
Athens. In the army. navy and avia-
ton corps, special officers are drafting
lists Of Dangerous" Communists, demo
Gratis and neurals.
With a new reign Of terror beginning
in Greece, it is pointed out that to hold
elections under such conditions would be
a mockery Of democratic procedure. The
Greek American Council, to which mum
bers Of AFL and CIO unionists belong, is
circulating a petition addressed to pres.
Truman urging him together with Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier Stain to
prevent the development of another
Greek tragedy, like that which shocked
the world last December when the Brit
ish turned their guns against Greek par
tisans
The petition calls for fulfillment of the
Crimea pledges-for a Greek government
representative of all democratic elements,
the right, center and left, and for an
inter-allied commission to supervise a
speedy plebiscite and elections.
Official approval to the use of German
prisoners of war for French reconstruc-
ton was given by the French General
Confederation Of Labor (CCT), Allied
Labor News reports from Paris.
The CGT outlined safeguards to pro-
tect the jobs and living standards of
French workers. Employers should pay
the same costs for German labor as are
paid to French workers, it proposed, and
the difference between the sum actually
paid to German war prisoners and the
normal wage should be paid into a spe-
cial fund to aid French prisoners Of war.
Discussing the problem further, one
CGT official said German prisoners
of war should be employed in the first
place on heavy or dangerous work such
as mine-clearing It is scandalous that
French workers should lose their lives
daily in clearing mines while POWs, in

AFL CONVENTION IS
BANNED BY 0DT
DUE TO WAR TRAVEL

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor has been denied per-

convention this year, AFL President Will
liam Green announced.
This will be the first year since 1881
that the AFL has missed a convention.
Mr.. Green made it clear in a letter to
the officers of affiliated unions that
AFL, in order to help promote the war
effort, will not contest the governments

decision
The official ban on any conventions
requiring the attendance Of more than

sion to hold its regular annual meeting.
The AFL convention had been sched-
uled to open in Chicago next october
with an expected attendance of about 600
delegates.
Since the AFLs annual conventions
make the federation's laws, decide its
policies and elect officers, many diff
cult problems will arise because Of the
omission of the convention this year.
Mr.. Green said that the Executive
Council, which is empowered under the
AFL constitution to act between con-
ventions." will meet in Chicago Aug. 6
to consider a program of new procedure

REP. RANKIN SHOWS
VETERAN HOW
DEMOCRACY WORKS

WASHINGTON Up P)-What happens
when a discharged veteran tries to get a
word in edgewise with the chairman Of
the House Veterans committee. that
white-haired gentleman from Mississippi,
Rep. John E. Rankin?
A veteran who tried it, Reuben schafer,
late 1st Division infantryman, found out.
He was turned over to a cop as insane, -
held 40 minutes without a charge, and
told by Rankin I'm taking care Of veter-
ans legislation, not you" which he knew
only too well already.
Schafer, of course, had hardly expect
ed to be met with old southern courtesy.
But after fighting for democracy for 31a
years, he did at least assume he'd get a
democratic hearing. So he bought a
round-trip ticket from New York, where
he's member of Local 23O, Sign Pic
torial and Display Union (AFL), and
presented himself at the committee room
on the morning Of July 10.
The committee was in session, but
Schafer had plenty to think over while
he waited. He was going to tell Rankin:
Look, it's like this. You're trying to
shove through a bill to separate vets
from the rest of the workers as regards
union membership and so on. When a
soldier takes off his uniform he becomes
a worker. The only protection for the
worker is unions. What did anyone else
ever do for us?"
In fact, he was going to tell Rankin
just where that phoney bill got off in
one veterans estimation. At least he
thought he was.
Rankin finally ambled out like a gent
with at least 10 minutes to spare for one
of the men whose fate he'd been dis
oussing. But when Reuben approached
him with a May I speak to you a mo-
ment, sir?" he all of a sudden got into
a great hurry. He took off for his office
top-speed.
The vet followed He'd hardly repeated
his request when he was told to get out
of here-this is private property"
I'm taking care Of veterans legisla-
ton, not you" barked Rankin, trying
to slam the door in Schafers face.
Schafer was surprised into a bit of
counter barking of his own. He said
plainly this push-around stuff went
down all right in Germany, but it would
not go down here, and he had right to
be listened to.
At this point Rankin called in the law
and told the officer to take this man
away-he's insane"
Released some time later, Schafer re-
turned to New York, wiser about the
ways of polltax congressman in general
and John Rankin in particular

Truman Cuts Hours
of Federal Employees

WASHINGTON, D. C-President Tru-
man directed that the hours of federal
employees in all but six agencies be re-
duced from 48 to "A weekly. The ex-
empted agencies were told to cut hours
at the earliest possible date.
Employees who go on a 44-hour week
will lose four hours Of overtime, but they
will be paid more than they received for
a 48-hour week, thanks to a wage boost
approved by Congress and signed by the
President.
