High Court Rling Hits Chselers Who Deraud Workers
Cant Compromise Wage Hour Laws

Employers who have chiseled on the Wage-Hour Act can't es- cape the laws penalties by mak- ing compromise settlements with their employees. So the Supreme Court ruled this week in a 5-to-3 decision involving a New York building which houses offices and dress manufacturers.
 The tribunal held that mainte- nance workers in the building are entitled to protection of the Wage. Hour Act, because the dress pro. ducers are engaged in interstate commerce.
 Also, the court ruled that the em- ployes may collect not only back over time pay for hours worked over 40 a week, but an equal amount in "liqui- dated damages" specified in the law
 The owners had made settlement with the employees for the overtime pay due them. In turn, the workers signed stipulations releasing the own CTS from future claims. However, lat CT some employees chose to sue for the double indemnity"
 Penalty Held Mandatory
 Their right to do this was sustained by majority of the high court Jus tice Stanley Reed, who wrote the ma jority opinion, declared the double indemnity provision of the act wa: mandatory" and could not be com promised. This penalty clause was written in, Justice Reed said, to en. force the underlying purpose of the act, which is ito secure a subsistence wage for the lowest-paid segment oi the nations workers"
 Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote . dissenting opinion for himself, Jus tice Harold Burton and the late Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone.
 He declared that there was no ex- press prohibition in the law against compromise settlements entered into ir "good faith"
 The policy of law, he added tart ly, should be determined by its terms and, mot, like nitrogen, out of the air"

 He and Sidney Silodor got to en-odd on todays hand, West doubled and Solomon (North) re- doubled. Solomon won the opening heart lead, cashed the king of spades, led low spade to dummy, ruffed heart, went back to dum- my with another trump and ruffed another heart, hoping of course that the queen might become estab- lished.
 Then he started to run the spade suit. He was careful to retain all of dummy's clubs, but he did bare down to singleton diamond.
 When it came to the last five tricks, Solomon held three dia- mondS to the ace and the queen and one club. West held the blank kings of diamonds and four clubs.
 Solomon cashed his queen of clubs, led the club to dummy, dis carded his losing diamond on the high club and played the diamond queen. Vests king covered and the ace and ten of diamonds won the last two tricks.
 The redouble of course gave Solomon top. That is why most experts say that it does not pay to double 8 seven contract. You will usually get fine score if you defeat it, but if it is redoubled, there is no chance for any points

Some CarbOnated Drinks
 Harmful to Small Children

in pop frequently, or daily derive an immediate lift or a brief spurt of refreshment or relief of fatigue from the sugar in the beverage. This gives a false sense of repletion or atisfaction-and natural appe- tite disappears. The youngsters thus cheated out of his or her natural or normal appetite doesn't care for this or that food at mealtime and very likely the sophomoronic parents, auntS, grandmas and neighborS worry about the child going into decline or getting anemic or need ing a tonic or something.
 The pop cheats the young person out of not only the food-that is, the fat, protein and carbohydrate a growing youngster requires to supply the daily calories = more calories a day are used by growing children than by the grown-up par ents-but it cheats the poor kid out of the minerals and vitamins that he or she might get if the pop did not spoil natural appetite.
 I'm sorry, kids, if you don't like me any more.
 For an occasional treat, refresh ing drink or cooling beverage, if just plain drinking water is not enough, recommended as healthful beverages orangeade, lemonade, to- mato juice or any fruit juice, milk, buttermilk or any of the tactic cul- tured milks Bulgarian, Acido- philus etc.) but not chocolate or cocoa or coffee favored milk. Ice cream soda or ice cream straight or sundae is all right, but only after meals as a dessert.
