To Try Shorter

Norwegian labor and manage
ment organizations recently sign
ed an agreement to experiment
with shorter working time at two
garment factories in Bergen, AS
Varde Fabrikker and AIS jobs,
Petersens Fabrikker. Parties to
the agreement are the Norwegian
Federation of Labor and the Cloth
ing Workers Union, on the one
hand and the Association of Nor
wegian Employers and the Gar
ment Industry's Employer Asso-
citation, on the other hand.
Resulting from extended nego-
tiations and Investigations, the
agreement is based on rationaliza-
ton measures introduced at the
two Bergen factories, partly with
the assistance of American spe-
cialists. For a period of two years,

A Valuable
Institution

Since it started to function a
year and a half ago, Norways all
civilian Grievance Commission for
the armed forces has processed
about 200 cases. in addition to
hundreds of oral complaints, re-
ports Grievance Inspector Arthur
Ruud. The complaints covered
principally, family allowances, dis
culinary actions, promotions, dis
charges, lack of equipment and
poor facilities.
The 5-member commission was
set up by Parliament to safeguard
the fundamental human rights of
conscripts and officers serving in
the armed forces. Complaints are
examined. and decided by the
Grievance Inspector, who has full
power to carry his investigation
to the highest military authorities.
If ne deems 1t necessary, he may
submit case for final decision
by the Parliament.
In an interview with the Oslo
newspaper, Aftenposten, Mr.. Ruud
declared that, in his opinion, the
Grievance Commission is a valu-
able institution. AS an impartial
court of appeal, it can and does
look into cases of injustice where
ever they may occur in the armed
forces. 1t can also propose ways
of correcting justified grievance.

drafty barracks.

Work Week

the weekly working time will ex-
perimentally be reduced from AZ
to 421s hours, and eventually, to
40 hours.
There will be no change in the
piece-Work rates. And it is assum-
ed that the total production, with
the same number of workers, will
not be lower than before. If these
assumptions prove to be wrong,
the parties to the agreement may
Independently deman a return to
the normal 48-hour week.
The agreement specifies that
representatives of the labor and
management organizations are to
have full opportunity to check the
technical results. Also, the Ber-
gen Institute for Psychology and
Personnel management is to con-
duct scientific studies in connec-
ton with the experiment.

Book On Educational
System

DR.. George NJ. Wiley, II, for
mer New York State Director of
Education, recently finished a
booklet sketching the development
of the educational system in Nor
way. He has now turned the
manuscript over to the Ministry of
Education which, in appreciation
of DR.. Wiley's valuable contribu-
ton, has undertaken to publish
his work.
Three years ago, the retired edu-
Gator spent six months in Nor
way, gathering material for his
work. This fall he came back to
obtain supplementary information
and the latest statistical data.
In the foreword of his book,
DR.. Wiley makes the following
statement: II have deemed it inn
portant to stress also the social
and economic background of the
Norwegian society today, because
of the close connection it has with
the ideals that are back of the
development of the Norwegian ed
vocational system.
I'm addition, I found it wise to
give some attention to the rich
tradition on which the educational
system in Norway is based, a
tradition which has not only So
cial and economic aspects, but
spiritual and pedagogical as WELL"

Seattleite Tells OF
NORWAY Service

Phil H. Gallagher, candidate for
City Treasurer in the Seattle city
election, tells with pride of his
experiences in Norway while a
member of the U. S. Army. He
landed in Tromsoe on May II,
1915, few days after the surren-
der of Germany. He and a number
of British and American officers
were given a most rouSing well
come by the Norwegian people as
it was a truly timely arrival to
make real celebration for their
independence Day.
Neither the Germans nor the
Russian prisoners realized Ger
manyhad been defeated This group
of men on their arrival were greet
ed by very hostile German COM
mand and it took some real pres
sure to convince them that the
Allies were in charge. This also
meant that the Russians were free
and they Immediately started a
war of their own against the Ger
mans who had been so cruel to
them.
Mr.. Gallagher remained in Nor
way until the end of September,
1915, and was in charge of the
war crimes and. financial reorgan-
ization in northern Norway. His
work took him to the towns of
Narvik, Harstad, Vardo, Badso,
Bardu, Hammerfest, and finally to
OSLO
His trip to Oslo from the north
was made by train through Swe-
den and he had the pleasure of
spending several days in Stock
holm. He states the Norwegian
people were hard pressed for food
as the Germans had taken practi-
cally everything from them except
their fish. Some of the most vi
cious war crimes were uncovered
in this northern area and as a
result of the Investigations many
German war criminals, including
General Jodl received just and fit
ting punishment. Mr.. Gallagher
worked with the Norwegian gov
eminent officials and said they
We're most cooperative to the Am
orleans.
Crown Prince Olaf visited the
area on several occasions and Mr..
Gallagher is very proud of a
plaque he received from Crown
Prince Olaf for his part in helping
restore freedom to Norway.

Get Extra
School Money

TALLAHASSEE Ihirty-three
Florida counties WI eet An extra
share of state SEhooi hi0bey this
year to help meet costs Of abnorm-
al enrolment increases.
But the million dollar limit inn
posed by one 1853 legislative act
will hold them down to only 46
per cent Of what they are due
under another 1853 law.
Monroe County, with q 12.4z
per cent increase in school en-
rollment, win get $500 Of the
extra funds.
Sharing in the fund win be those
counties which during the first two
months of this school year re- ported
an average daily classroom attend
ance of more than 5 per cent over
the corresponding months Of last
year.
The extra payments win range
from only $50 for little Hendry
County to $217, 900 for big Dade.
Broward, which led the state with
an attendance increase of nearly
q per cent, viii get $14S, 900, below
Dade in dollars because Of fewer
pupils.
Last year, Is counties split So
145, 900 to take care of enrolment
increases. At that time, only those
counties which showed increases
of more than 10 per cent shared
In what Is known as the "recalcu-
lation fund" But they got credit
for their whole increase.
The 1853 Legislature, seeking to
spread the extra money among
more counties, cut the figure at
which the extra payments would
begin to 5 per cent. It provided
that counties would be paid only
for the amount Of increase above
S per cent, instead of for the whole
increase.
The State Department of Educa-
ton forecast the total state outlay
would be less despite the lowering
of the figure and the spreading
of the benefits because the first S
per cent Of increase would bring
no extra payment.
That's the way it turned out.
The new formula calls for $2.147
900 to 50 counties. II the old one
had still been in effect IL CO. ...es
would have divided 1854, 900.
The Department of Education
asked two million dollars a year
10 take care of the ''recalculatio :
payments but the Legislature set a
limit Of one million.
So the counties are being adj
vised they can look for only 40 per
