Washington Oct. 18-(AP)-
This is an ABC on a new inter-
PROBATIONARY the U. S. Supreme
Court-of the wage hour law.
The government begins it to-
day. 1t sprang out of a case
involving longshoremen. Before
going further, remember the
wage-hour law.
That law set up the 40-hour
week for people working in
places whose business or pro
ducts cross state lines-places,
that is, in interstate commerce.
Which means: In such places
a worker gets regular pay for
working 40 hours a week, plus
time-and-one-haf for every hour
worked over 40 hours.
For example: ones works
eight hours day, at 81 an hour,
Monday through Friday, which
is five days or a total of 40
hours. So his pay is $40.
That's a typical case. But
suppose during those five days
Jones has worked 48 hours.
Then, with time-and-one-haH
for overtime, he gets $12 for his
eight overtime hours. Adding
that to his $40 for his regular
40 hours Of work, he gets total
pay that week Of $50.
That's the way it's done in
many places. And there's no
new Interpretation Of the wage
hour law on that.
But the new Interpretation
comes in on something that is
called premium" or "differen.
tial" pay.
That's when a boss pays a
worker 4 little more than the
regular rate Of pay for working
inconvenient hours. like nights.
Saturdays or Sunday.
This works in several WAYS.
Take them separately:
Example No. l.
Jones gets $40 for a regular
40-hour week. But in that plant
the boss pays the man going to
work at PM, a fiat a extra
for the week-premium pay for
the unusual working hours.

Is based on the total ~ he re-

Wage-Hour Law Very Simple
For Mere Genius To Figure
NARROW

Any man who has to work more
than eight hours in any one day
must get premium, or extra, pay
for doing it.
The contract says the boss has
to pay rs cents an hour extra
for any hour over eight hours
worked in any one day.
Suppose Smith-getting $40 for
a five-day, 40-hour week-works
nine hours Tuesday but winds up
the week working only 40 hours
because Wednesday he worked
only seven.
Then his total pay for the week
is $40.25. That's because he gets
the Is cents premium pay for
that one hour he worked Tues.
day over his regular eight.
Suppose it happened that, by
working one hour extra one day,
he winds up the week with ii
hours. Then his total pay for
the week is $4,000. How come?
His regular pay is 81 an hour.
Time-and-one-half for overtime
at that rate means so cents an
hour more, or $3.50 for every
overtime hour.
But he's already received Is
cents in premium pay for that
one hour extra he worked. So
he has only Is cents more due
him to round out the overtime.
Example No. B.
Some bosses pay workers pre-

this taxi driver said it had failed!
That could not be. That must not be. Any

But believing the principles isn't enough. That's
all I have done-just believed in them. When the
taxi driver tossed off the word failed speaking of
the last great hope for international peace I was

We all know that war can be caused by hotheads

County's Rural
Property Shows
Huge Valuation

Farm property in Montgomery
county is now worth more than
$38, O82, 900, and rural homes here
and throughout the state are in
the best condition in history, ac-
cording to, a report just released
by the. Tile Council of America.
More than rs per cent of farm
dwellings in Maryland and the
South are in excellent condition or
need only such minor repairs as
painting or general maintenance,
the report revealed. Only Gil per
cent were in good repair in 1910.
The report was based on Bureau
of the>Census surveys.
"The rise in farm incomes and
property values since 1910 has
been accompanied by a great in
crease in the number of rural
homes equipped with such modern
40
tiled baths and showers and run
ming water" said F. B. Ortman,
chairman of the Councils residen-
tial construction committee.
Electricity, for instance, has
gone into hundreds of thousands
of the nations rural dwellings
since 1910, Ortman noted. More
than SO per cent of all farm homes
now have electric lights, in con-
trast to 31.3 per cent in 1910.
More than 80 per cent of rural
dwellings in the United States to-
day have running water, and POL
per cent have private baths, ac-
cording to the Tile Council report.
In 1910, IT. per cent had running
water and only 1915 per cent pri-
vate baths.

not mean that insecticides alone
will do the job, for in the long run
it would be too expensive. Para
sites and diseases related to the

Statements by farmers and can

and the resulting damage prompt
ed interested parties to ask for

ties and individual farmers.
1t was the unanimous opinion of

out, it is useless to attempt control
