forcement and is aimed at bring
ing into line the employer who
persists in violating the law.
''The enforcement side of the job
calls for an adequate inspection
force and appropriations are need
ed for a realistic carrying out of
the intent of Congress" General
Fleming said. "Otherwise, the Law
loses its teeth and becomes fraud
on the working people it was in
tended to benefit and the decent
employers who comply with it."
General Fleming suggested that
the subcommittee study the de-
STABILITY of extending some wage
protection to workers on large, in
dustrialized farms. He said the
"family-Sized-farm" should be spe-
officially exempt but that a mini
mum wage might be applied on
those farms where manpoWer has
been largely supplemented by
machinery. He also suggested study
of the desirability of applying the
Wage and Hour Law ITO companies
producing materials which compete
with the products of companies
which now must comply with tthe
Law.
The hearings at which General
Fleming and William S. Tyson,
Solicitor of Labor, testified, was
one of series begun last summer
by the Mcconnell Subcommittee
which is studying the Wage and
Hour Law with view to possible
amendment.
Arizona sun., 1947-10-31

An appeal Tor FAIRNESS IN max
ing economic adjustments to enable
government employees to meet the
unprecedented high cost of living
was voiced today by William C.
Doherty, President of the National
Association of Letter Carriers and
Vice President of the American
Federation of Labor.
In statement, Doherty declared
that the letter carrier was being
pinched by the rising costs of liv-
ing and called attention to the
fact that the postmen had had to
wait 20 years from 1925 until
1915 for a reclassification of
salary.
Doherty called attention to the
fact that letter carriers, prohibited
along with other government en-
ployees from striking by provisions
of the Taft-Hartley Law, were
previously prohibited from striking
by provisions of law dating back
to 1912. Furthermore, according to-
the president of the N.A.L.C., they
were prohibited from doing so by
their "oath of office" which they
take at the time they are accepted
for service.
Letter carriers are not asking
for the right to strike against their
government" Doherty declared.
1--WE are not even suggesting the
idea; in fact, let the record show
we are diametrically opposed to
the idea. But since we are denied
that right by law (and it is i'm
portant to point out that letter
carriers willingly forfeited that
right long before any lawmaker
reduced a prohibition against it to
writing), are we not entitled to
a like willingness on the part of
those who hold the whip-hand ito
see that our economic welfare and
other conditions of employment are
protected?
"This reciprocity should be spon-
taneouS. There was no reason, for
instance, in 1945, why letter car
riers should have had to spend
their last three cents to purchase
a stamp to mail a letter to Con-
gress begging for financial relief.
AS American citizens letter car
riers were entitled to a wage scale
that would enable them to live
somewhere : near the accepted
American standard. 1925 to 1916
20 years was a long time to wait
for a salary reclassification. That
sort Of shabby treatment does not
appeal to the American sense of
fair play.
"Try as we might we can not
advance any solid reason why let
ter carriers should always be
obliged to take their case before

may see herds Of milk goats being
driven from house to house from
o to II in the morning. Herds con-
sists OF from 8 to Is, all held togeth-
Ier by a cord around the neck Of each
animal. ,2-s4
At regular customers homes the
herd comes automatically to q halt.
The customer, hearing the tinkle Of
the little bells worn by the dSes,
comes quickly to the door with cup,
pitcher or pail for the amount she
needs. The herdsman or woman
miiks directly into the containef.
In the larger cities, goat milk =
used by the Weather families for
invaHds. Since this milk does hot
have to be boiled is is the case Of
cows milk, 1t naturally has . nlpre

These animals are not heavy
eaters. A sniall handful Of corn at
each milking, which may be seydral
times q day, Is all the owner uro-
vides. She seeks her own green's.
Sometimes goats are given chopped
sugar cane, manioc, Aiage or hay.
Six goats can be kept cheaper than

it was "bon pour nickel" meaning
