New Federal 0vertinleLaw
 Is Explained

A comprehensive statement of the principles he will apply in en- forcing the overtime compensation requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act-the Federal Wage and Hour Law--in the light Of the July 20, 1949, amendment of the act, was announced today by Wm. R. McComb, Administrator of the U. s. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Di- visions.
 Published in the Federal Register Thursday the statement points out that under the amendment which is retroactive in effect, certain premium payments which the Su- preme Court held were not true overtime pay, will now be treated as overtime premiums under the Wage and Hour Law. The prem iums with which the amendment deals are those paid for work on Saturday, Sunday, holidays, the sixth or seventh day of the week, and for hours outside of the basic, normal, or regular workday (not over hours), or workweek (not over 40 hours).
 In his statement, McComb cites the tests contained in the amend ment which must be met as con- dition under which these premiums my be excluded from an employees regular rate" of pay and may be credited toward overtime compen- sation which may be due him un- der the Wage and Hour Law for work after 40 hours in a workweek
 The terms of the amendment apply retroactively to all industries, McComb explained, and are ap- plicable in rotating shift" situa- tions under which an employee has a bona fide basic, normal or regular workweek, although his day of rest may fall on different days of the week, depending on the shift he is working But, the Ad- ministrator cautioned, the terms of the amendment are in all instances limited to premiums actually based on rates and work periods "es- tablished in good faith" as dis from fictitious schemes and artificial devices for classify ing some hours as straight time working hours and others as "over- time" hours.

JUNEAUITES INTERVIEWED

JUNEAUITES INTERVIEWED
 The Empire has interviewed var ious persons who talked to the representative of the Seattle Trust & Savings Bank, who were in Ju- neau to negotiate the loan. From information available, from sources other than from MT Roden, it ap- pears that the loan was refused by the bankers because the Territorial Treasury was found to have well over S2,50O,00O in unpaid bills and s1,500,000 more owing than had been represented to the bankers before they made their own investi- gation at the Auditors office. They also attribute their refusal to make the loan to the fact that cash re- ceipts in the next few months will be Sl,400,000 less than the optimis- tic figure previously given them. These bankers gave one reliable person in Juneau only these two reasons for refusing the loan. Mo- where, other than from MT. Roden, could the Empire find any evidence that the matters alleged by MT. Roden had anything to do with the decision to refuse the loan.
 BANKERS STATEMENT
 MT Winslow, contacted by tele- phone shortly before press time, denied that any threats had been made to bring any suit against the bank if it made the loan.
 MT. Winslow was reluctant to make any statement because the Governor had asked him not to make any statement to the press giving his reasons for refusing the loan.

Washington ana it's King County They felt, however, that because of the pending suits against vari- ous Territorial revenue measures and threats of more vexatious litl- gation. and especially of the threat to attack the financing plan agreed upon by the Syndicate and the Territorial Treasurer, to be brought by the Industries here and in Seattle. together with the ham stringing limitations placed on the Territory by Congress in the Organic Act, they could not see their way clear to go ahead with the plan as originally agreed upon with me.
 This time, legalistic skullduggery is the means used to embarrass the functions of the Territorial Gov ernment. The entrenched interests, however, offer to help solve the merely temporary financial diff culties into which they have delib- erately plunged the Territory by threats and misrepresentation to those who were ready to advance the funds needed to overcome the situation. They have commenced d number of law suits, and threaten to bring more, attacking recently enacted revenue measures. By pur- suing this method they hope to bring the Territorial Government to it's knees and to do their bidding. They want the Legislature con- vened in special session, have the recently enacted tax measures re- pealed or greatly modified, and in their stead provide a sales tax. If you will do this,' they say we will advance the million dollars pre- sently needed and, in addition thereto, will pay the expense ot the special session.
 Tn other words, they propose to dictate and formulate the Terri tory's policies and tell us what we must do. I think the people are amply able to decide for themselves what course to take under the existing circumstances"

A reader disagrees: II have
noticed all along that you do not
ever speak of the bridesmaids and
ushers walking with each other in
the occasional. In many wedding
diagrams shown in magazines they
do. I'm wondering why the diff
ference of opinion and on what
you base your advice.
In my way of thinking. the
bridesmaids and ushers walking
together looks exactly like the
chorus in a musical comedy or a
multiple wedding. and is not ac-
cording to correct precepts. More
over. I have never seen a wedding

was done.
