BACK PAY CLAIMS
LIMITED SEVERELY
AFTER SEPT. IL

Washington LPA) - Union
lawyers - already showed under
with the details of life under the
Taft Hartley law = are working
rapidly this week to protect work
ers who otherwise may lose their
rights to back pay under the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
The new "portal-to-portaf" law,
passed by Congress last May, says
that claims for back wages will be
restricted to pay lost during the
previous two years, or shorter
period in states where the statute
of limitations covers a shorter per-
iod.
Sept. IL is the deadline for filing
such suits under the more liberal
rule that only the state statute Of
limitations decides the period over
which pay can be claimed.
Congress, with the prompting OF
penny-pinching industrialists, pass
ed this new restriction at the same
time it voted to kill many of the
"portal-to-portal" pay claims aris-
ing under the Supreme Court de-
cision in the Mt. Clemens pottery
case.

Surprising Lobor
Working Force
Shift Is Shown

Americas achievement of Co.
100000 jobs has been accomplished
by some unusual changes in the
composition of the working force,
it was revealed this week by Her
man B. Byer, assistant chief of the
employment branch in the Depart
ment of Labor.
For example, the proportion Of
"teen-age youth" in the labor force
is considerably above normal, Byer
said. The same is true of women
over 35 and of men at the retire
ment age. That's because of the
greater number of jobs available.
However, two groups are sharp
ly below normal-young women,
and men in the 20 to "a age
bracket. A big increase in the post
war marriage and birth rates ac-
counts for the withdrawal from
jobs of vast number Of young
women, Byer said.
The decline among men of 20 to
"a is due mainly to the full-time
enrolment in schools of over a
million veterans who are taking
advantage of the G. l. Bill Of
Rights, he explained.
Absorption of these "vets" into
decent jobs as they leave school
during the next few years will be

Flyer Firfs With
Deofh When Ship
Sets New Record

The world speed record was
beaten this week by a navy jet
plane, flown by Marine Major
Marion Carl. He hit $50 miles an
hour, or only SO miles less than the
speed at which sounds travel
through the air.
At such pace, Carl was looking
death in the face. When a plane
gets near enough to the speed of
sound, something happens.
The air waves which swirl
around the wings, and support the
plane, suddenly go all to pieces,
like glass shattered by a bullet.
Then the plane turns down in a
"nose dive" which is almost i'm
possible to stop.
Couldn't "Pull Out"
Many "test pilots" have been
killed in this way. Other flyers,
who passed the speed of sound in
power dives" could not "pull out"
and so they hit the ground. For
years, no one knew the cause.
Since the peculiar behavior Of
air at "sonic" speeds was discov-
cred, experts have been trying to
produce planes of drastically new
design, which would "pass safely
through the wall of sound" and fly
safely on the other side. The ma
tion which first has such a plane
will have a great military advant-
age.
Men like Carl are taking the
risks which may produce the sup
er-sonic" plane.

state. As the French know, the
Ruhr, next to the atomic bomb, is
the most dangerous weapon in the
world. 1t is the arsenal without
which no European power, even
Russia, would dare start a war.
There is no sense in turning that
arsenal back to the political con-
troll Of a nation which twice in %
years used it for aggression.
"If we do not do this job-if we
should pull out Of Germany or fail
there-we leave behind US
vacuum which neither Britain nor
France has the strength or ability
to fill. Russia has the will and, if
left unopposed, the power to fill
that vacuum. Therefore, the day
we fail or the day we pull out of
Germany, the third world war
takes a long step closer to US and
certainly to our children. What
greater incentive does any Amer
lean need to work for than our sue
cess in this field ?"

TAFT-HARTLEY HURTS
AMERICA IN EUROPE

New York LPA)-Congress en-
actment of the Taft-Hartley law
is undermining American prestige
among Europe's democrats, Irving
Brown, AFL representative in Eu-
rope explained in an article in the
August 16 "New Leader"
Brown was in Geneva for the In
ternational Labor Organization
conference when the bill was pass
ed. He reports that "our European
trade union friends were shocked
our enemies the Communists and
their allies were pleased" Ameri-
can government as we'll as labor
spokesmen at the conference had
been speaking against any restric-
tions of the rights of organized
labor. After the Taft-Hartley Bills
passage their speeches fell a little
fiat.
Amy reactionary legislation in
the United States increases the dis
trust of European workers, many
of whom, and not just Communists,
believe that America is threat
ening, capitalist Imperialism Brown
warns. Furthermore, the new leg
islation takes the edge off critic
ism of the Soviet's government
controlled unions"
Democratic socialist papers, and
liberal magazines have noted that
the Republican sponsored restric-
tions on union activity come at a
time when the same politicians are
lifting all controls, no matter how
badly needed, from big business,
Brown reports. 'This becomes
proof positive of the idea that the
American economy and state mac
hinery are fast becoming the NOR
tai enemy of the trade unions.
Editorial writers have been quick
to pick up Philip Murray's state
ment that the legislation consti-
tutes first step towards fascism
and slave labor"
The AFL representative writes
that some European unionists even
fear that passage of the Act means
that America is on the verge of
great economic and social crises
which will destroy our ability to
implement the Marshall Plan. Even
more widespread is the feeling
that American labor to some de-
gree brought Taft-Hartleyism up
on itself by failing to form its own
strong political party independent
of the Republican and Democratic
parties which are both considered
tools of the employers by European
trade union leaders.
Neither Moscow nor any of it's
agents could think of anything bet
ter suited to their aims than the
Taft Hartley Act" Brown asserts.
The announcement of the Marshall
Plan increased Americas stock at
Russia's expense, but with the
passage of the anti-union legisla-
ton "the original impact of the
Marshall Plan has been blunted."

New York Firemen Get
Virtual 5-Day Week

New York City (ILNS).-After
experimenting with shorter work
week for fremen, Commissioners
Frank j. Quale announced exten-
sion of the plan throughout the
Fire Department beginning Sept.
1. Veterans at Fire Department
headquarters said the order gave a
virtual 5-Day week for the city's
fire fighters.
Commissioner Quale tested the
plan on 5 battalions July 16 short
ly after 200 men had been added
to the department. For the five
units, the men had their hours re-
duced from 50.2 a week to 45.8.
Under the shorter work-week,
most of the department personnel
will have their hours changed from
6 hours on the 32 hours off to 6
hours and 4S hours off. 1t was ex-
planned that there may be a varla-
tion in this schedule in the Brook
lyn and Queens divisions, but the
total of hours worked will be the
same throughout the department.

Ohio Hotel Employers
Want 13c Wage Floor

Toledo IPA)-Three employer
members of the Ohio State Min
imum Wage Board were so oppos-
ed to raising the minimum legal
wage for women and minors in the
hotel and restaurant industries of
the state that they have resigned.
The unreasonable" raise was in
tended to improve the present
floor of between 13c and 21c an
hour, depending on the size of the
community.
81 condemn these employers
bitterly for the disgraceful actions
in ignoring entirely the rights OF
thousands of underpaid women and
minors in our great state, charged
Lawrence N. Steinberg, one of the
labor members of the board, and
director of the Toledo Joint Coun-
Gil, Retail, Wholesale & Dept Store
Employes-CIO.
Blandly ignoring the fact that in
their own establishments a work
er couldn't even eat on the min
imum wage, the three employer
spokesman voted to keep the wage
at the 13c to 21c level. When the
public and labor members voted
together to set a floor of 31c to SOC
they pulled out.
/ "The attacks made upon the pub
lie members of the board" said
Steinberg, "were vicious and un-
warranted, a deliberate plan to
wreck the board and maintain pre-
sent slave wages. -. 1t proves to

senting 100000 phone workers
have registered with the Labor
Dept and filed the "nonCommun-

Taft HARTLEY law.
"We may dislike the law" said
CWA Secretary-treasurer Carlton
w. Werkau, But until it is repeal
ed or amended we expect to COM

out the democratic laws, proceed
ures and practice of the lam.
lam Secretary-treasurer Eric
Peterson explained to the Labor
Dept head that "labor organiZa-
tions have been under heavy attack
for practices that they never have
been guilty Of" He added that the
detailed information about the lam
was presented in the hope it might
"do some good in educating MEM
bers of Congress"
The lam official mentioned these
facts, among others: LIAM salar-
les for top officers are "the lowest
| of any major labor organization"
paying $12,500 to President Har-
vey w. Brown, $4,000 to Peter
son, and $4,000 to Resident Vice
president A. j. Hayes. 2-For 35
years membership has had the pro-
lection of the initiative, referen-
dun, and recall; members can use
machinery to call conventions;
members vote on all laws and
changes in laws even after con-
vention has passed on them.
3-Since the IAM's first constitu-
tion in 1888, regular financial re-
ports have been made to the men,
bership; local trustees have pre-
sented quarterly reports jointly
with local auditing committees to
members since 1890; since 1897,
the general secretary treasurer has
made a monthly financial report to
all local and district lodges; since
1901, an elected rank and file audi

the right of counsel and the right
to cross-examine witnesses with
elaborate rights of appeal; 5-Since
1925, the lam has excluded Com
munists, and this year voted to ex-
clude advocates of Fascism, Naz-
ism and Communism. 6-Strikes will
not be sanctioned until the U. S.
Cancellation Service has had a
chance to resolve the dispute. A
q vote by secret ballot is required
to declare strike, and majority
vote of members affected is needed
to end a strike.

PROFIT is CLAIMED
ON INCH PIPE LINES

On one war project at least
Uncle Sam apparently did not get
the short end of the stick.
John d. Goodloe, chairman of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton, reveals that the government
had net return of $182,0OO, 900
from its construction and operation
of the "Big Inch" and Little Inch"
pipe lines. That is $37, 100000
more than the $145,000,0O0 invest
ed in the lines.
Goodloe also said that the lines
were constructed in less time than
scheduled and at smaller cost than
had been estimated.

Comment On World Events

For Americans and for Ameri-
can business, the most important
single spot on earth today is the
Ruhr Valley of Germany and no
one but the United States can sup
ervise the rebuilding Of the Ruhr
successfully. This is the conclusion
reached by James H. McGraw, Jr.,
president Of the McGraw-Hill Pub
fishing Co., who has just returned
from a trip to Europe for the pur-
pose of observing conditions there.
In an editorial in the September
issue Of all McGraw-Hill publica-
tions, entitled "The Ruhr-Valley
of Decision" McGraw warns that
1--WE had better do the job and do it
well if we love our children" He
suggests that the following consid-
erations be kept in mind, as the
international politicians gamble
/. We are paying for the Ruhr
rehabilitation (or lack Of it). 2. We
alone have the skill and enterprise
to supervise it's building. 8. 1t will
be a tough organizing job requir-
ing money, hard work, and out
right sacrifice on the part of man.
agement men and technicians.
McGraw emphasizes that to re-
store production in the Ruhr so
that it can speed the rebuilding Of
Europe requires harnessing Ger
man incentive. The Germans, he
says, have greater incentive than
anyone else for getting the Ruhr
back in working order.
Especial effort" he says, SHOULD
earn special rewards. There is no
thing wrong with the Ruhr (or the
rest Of Europe) that hard work
will not cure. Before a man will
work hard, he must feel that his
work will advance him and his
family. That simple motive, which
powers our whole economy, must
be revived in the Ruhr. To revive
it requires enormous ingenuity and
work new currency +. log
ical customs union a sensible
ration system enough food,
clothing, housing and consumer
goods so that the worker can buy
something with his currency and
his ration points.
"A sensible priorities system
must channel Ruhr coal and steel
into those uses which, in turn, will
further increase output. Repair
parts for railroad cars should
stand high on the list. Housing,
coal equipment and machine tool
parts should come ahead of the
automobiles and permanent steel
bridges which at times have been
accorded preference"
In conclusion, McGraw says:
German technical management
of industry in the Ruhr need not
mean political control of the Ruhr
