business is carrying o ma powerful
propaganda drive, using two argu-
mcnts
First. that the war and defense
program will create a shortage OF
labor-so workers should toll long
hours without overtime pay, and EN-
ployment Of women and child work
ers should not be hampered by legal
restrictions.
Second. pay at overtime rates is
"inilationary.' because it puts too
much money in the pockets OF work
ers and their families.
Workers are getting overtime pay
now, so what these greedy employ
ers ask is that workers take a wage
cut by giving. up overtime pay -
at a time when prices, the cost of
living and profits are going up -
and when the same employers are
opposing an excess profits tax. They
don't think too much profit money
in their pockets would cause "infla-
ton"
Both these schemes were hit by
Secretary OF Labor Maurice ]. lob
in. in a talk to the National Con
ference on Labor Legislation, 1t was
held in Washington and was attend
ed by state labor officials and labor
leaders from all wei the nation.

Miss Curleigh had recalled that

Euphemia handled the cutlery,
who wiped off the prints? She?
Why should she? Some one else?
But surely there would be no
sense in some one else's wiping
off Euphemia's prints. Then,
while Euphemia's prints were
probably on these implements,
some one elSe's prints were also
on them, which accounts for their
having been wiped off. Why? I
