but those few who have Cheated"

returns. and paying their tax had
better start trembling. For inter-

process of spot checking taxpayers
in Montgomery County. They are
doing it by making personal calls
to the taxpayers selected by the
Cincinnati office of the Internal

Over Hu|fof Ohio
Industry Violated Fair
Labor Standards Act

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 18-
Fifty-seven percent of the Ohio
establishments investigated during
fiscal year 1919, had violated one
Of the basic provisions of the Fair
Standards Act or the Public
Contractc Act, it was reported
here by William S. Singley, Regi-
onal Director Of the Wage and
Hour and Public Contracts Divi-
5ions of the U. S. Department of
Labor.
Fifty percent of the Ohio firms
investigated during the fiscal year
ended June 80 had violated the
overtime provision to pay time
and a half after 40 hours a week
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act or time and a half after 40
hourse a week or 8 hours a day
under the Public Contracts Act,
Singley said.
Four percent of the Ohio firms
investigated had violated the min
imum wage provisions under one
of the Acts and 9 percent had
violated the child labor provisions.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-09-19

"These percentage figures do
not mean that all Ohio firms
subject to these two federal laws
would have such a record of non
cause we make Ct! TAO TAOI
compliance" Singley said, "be-
cause we make our Investigations
on the basis of information which
would indicate some probability Of
violations imam industry or area"
The Investigations in Ohio last
year revealed that employers
owed $761,9O6 in back wages to
1926 employees because of fail
ure to pay proper overtime or the
minimum wage
The minimum wage under the
Public Contracts Act is the pre-
vailing minimum as determined BIZ
the Secretary of Labor in a given
industry or area.
The minimum wage under the
Fair Labor Standards Act is now
40 cents an hour. However, bills

No PCin' 4q

According to a New York Times
story, hackers Of the Fair Employ
ment Practices bill to outlaw job
discrimination see little hope of
passage Of the legislation this
year.
The Senate labor subcommittee
approved the administration bill
on Thursday. It went to the full
committee Friday, but it could not
be acted upon because a quorum
was not present. Quorum was de-
stroyed when Senator Lister Hill
of Alabama, an on and off Tru-
mantle, walked out of the meet
ing pleading that he had "an ap-
pointment at the White House."
Observers declare that even if
the full committee approves the
bill, and it probably will, it will
face the unrelenting filibuster Of
the staunch upholders of southern
demagogy.
The FEPC bill would make it IL
legal for any employer of so or
more persons or union with more
than so members to discriminate
against anyone because of race,
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-09-19

creed, religion, color or national
origin. A five man commission
would be set up to enforce the
bill. The same groups which OPP
posed the Ohio FEPC bill oppose
the FEPC bill in Washington. Big
business interests, the chambers Of
commerce and the National AS
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers all
spearheaded the opposition.
The subcommittee passed the
bill 4 to l.. Those recorded fer
it were: Senators James Murray
of Montana; Hubert Humphreys
of Minnesota; Paul Douglas of Ii
%linois, all Democrats, and Wayne
Morse, Republican of Oregon.
Senator Forrest Donnell of
Missouri, a Republican, voted
against the bill on the grounds
that public hearings should have
been held. He said he was not
voting on the merits Of the bill.

Ditch Again
Condemned By
Health Officer

The irrigation ditch running
through Kennewick was again
condemned for swimming this
week by DR.. Charles Tudor, di.
rector of the Benton Franklin
health district.
"TeSts have shown that the
ditch is highly polluted and is
dangerous for swimming" Dr..
Tudor said.
He explained that the water
comes directly from the Yakima
river which drains off extensive
farmland. He. said that many
diseases, including typhoid,
could be present in the water.
When children swim, they are
bound to swallow some water,
DR.. Tudor said.
Swimming in polluted water
is particularly unwise with the
threat of polio present." DR.. Tu.
dor added.
WARNINGS POSTED
He said that the ditch had
been posted with warning pla-
cards repeatedly, telling that the
water was polluted. In addition,
he continued, the sides are sheer
and the current swift, making
the ditch a dangerous place to
swim for children from the wa
ter safety standpoint.
The ditch runs unfenced along
the entire length of Kennewick's
city park. Many mothers have
refused to allow their children
to play in the park with the
ditch open.
A caretaker in the park said
that a major chore was fishing
park benches and tables out of
the ditch where they had been
thrown. He said that children
used the benches for spring.
boards into the ditch.
