Hotel & Restaurant Workers
Public Relations Dir. Frederick B.
Sweet urged coverage for the SIS
billion hotel industry "before it's
too late" He reminded the sub
committee that lower-paid service
workers increasingly are outnum-
bering higher paid production
workers. He stressed the need for
minimum by recalling picket
line scene seven years ago outside
the famous Brown Hotel in Louis
vile, Ky. The owner asked Mrs.
Octavia Sewell what she was doing
there and she replied:
"Mr. Brown, you're a rich man
and I'm a poor woman. That's
what I'm doing out here. We're
not asking for much. Being col
ored people, we're used to beans
and bread. We're not asking for
salad. Ali we want is a decent
wage and Is cents an hour amt
decent"
United Maritime Unions Legis-
lative COmmittee-Exec. Sec. Hoyt
Haddock urged repeal Of exemp-
tons of seamen and seafood proc
essing. Coverage could mean re-
placement of the present three
watch, 56-hour minimum week at
sea with a four-watch, 42-hour
week at sea, he pointed out.

under the old voluntary oil import
program. The company's present
allotment Of %, 800 barrels per day
in districts I-IV and 2S, 400 barrels
per day in district v are already
currently before the appeals board
on the grounds Of hardship, in
equitable treatment and special
consideration.
In objecting to the new pro-
posals, Getty took special excep-
ton to the tables of "incremental
steps," terming them "inequitable
and Objectionable"
"These tables place a premium
on smallness and penalty on pro-
gress in the industry and are not
calculated to attain the most eff
ficient utilization of the industry's
refining facilities" Getty charged.
They represent social legislation
within the industry which has no
relationship to or proper place in
the overall program of limiting
imports in the interest of national
security"
In his letter to Carson, Getty re-
viewed Tidewater's recent history
of appeals to the oil import appeals
board and reminded Carson that
these appeals still remained un-
answered.
Since objections to the proposed
changes in the imports program
had to be filed by June 4, Getty
asked that the letter serve as a
renewal of its appeal for a revised
ALLEGATION and as notice that Tide
water objects to the latest proposed
amendments which, he said, would
worsen the company's already in
equitable quota.

1947 to $1.25 an hour through a
combination of union employer
raises and TWUA leaflet agita-
ton at non-union mill gates. Av-
erage pay has gene from 80 cents
to over $3.50, he added.
But textile prices have dropped.
What cost 81 in 1947 now has a
price tag of "a cents, he said.
TWUA Southern Dir. Boyd Fay
ton said a legal s1.25 minimum
was vital to protect the prevailing
$1.25 which came after Cannon
/, Mills broke the ice and l million
union leaflets apparently persuad-
ed other mills to 60 along. A $1.25
minimum would bring "chiselers,"
into line and help end the "bit-
ter and ugly poverty" of low-paid
workers, he said.
Mrs. Roosevelt Testifies
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, tes-
tifying for the National Consum-
ers League, said government has
an obligation to extend wage-hour
protection to low-paid and unor-
gained workers.
She devoted half her statement
to strong plea for minimum
wage coverage for farm workers
and for migratory farm workers
whose farm income, she noted,
averaged only $745 during 1858.
She also called for the outlawing
of child labor on commercial
farms.
The following testimony also
backed the Democratic measures:
Meat Cutters-Vice Pres. Leon
B. Schachter urged repeal of sew
eral exemptions. He said the in
ability-to-pay argument of the re-
tail industry is refuted by its
profit record and by union-won
wages of S1.73 to $3.50 an hour
for Washington, D. c., retail meat
departments.
He said there should be an end
tc the first processing and seasonal
overtime exemption for fruit and
vegetable processing workers and
an end to the seafood processing
exemption. Factory farm work
ers also desperately need" cover
age, he said.
Herbert A. Lee, an officer of
Meat Cutters Local 2, which in
cludes many New England fish
ermen and seafood professors,
said the seafood processing ex-
emption forces unorganized and
low-paid workers in Maine to live
in "so-called homes" without run
ming water or baths or appliances,
with the further effect of creating
unemployment among unicnized
seafood workers in Gloucester,
Mass.
Communications Workers-Pres.
Joseph A. Bierne pointed out that
an exemption originally designed
for telephone operators running
switchboards in their own homes
has been stretched to cover multi
million dollar independent phone
companies. He said CWA would
accept the trimming of the ex-
emption back to home switch
boards.

Textile Union Flags Initiation
Seen in S1.25 Minimum Wage

TWUA Research Dir. Solomon
Barkin made his point this way:
minimum wage increases affect
low-wage industries which charac-
teristically are highly competitive;
productivity boosts-"exceedingly
impressive" in some areas-have
meant high profits to employers
while prices have actually declined.
The record has been compiled
at the expense of these particular
low-wage people," he declared.
Barkin cited the textile indus
try's experience. Productivity has
been increasing at percent a
year. The minimum wage in tex
tiles has risen from Is cents in

Most everyone will agree
thar fabric can be the differ
ence between success, and
failure in a sew-ie-yourself
dress. Fabric certainly doesn'e
have to be expensive, but it
must be wisely selected, with
an eye to the style dress you
intend making, your own fig
ure and coloring.

Weather
Outlook For
August

The outlook for the Mississippi
Delta for August calls for near
normal amounts of rain and slight
ly lower than normal temperatures.
Rainfall will vary a good deal over
the Delta but will total be-
tween 2 and 3 inches in most sec
tons. Temperatures will average
in the low COS in the afternoons
and near 70 at night.
A build up of dry high pressure
that is taking place in the upper
layers of the atmosphere owe the
southern Rocky Mountains will tend
to- limit rainfall here in the Delta.
1t is responsible for the change
from the wet weather that occur
red during the last half of July.
Evaporation is due to exceed rain
fall during August by about 3 inch
es in most sections, however soil
moisture reserves are excellent and
only a few of he sandy soils are
likely to have a moisture shortage
this month.
Sunshine is forecast to prevail
during IS percent of the daylight
hours. During August 1888, we
had only So percent sunshine, and
this August will be quite an inn
provement. The increase in sun
shine will facilitate the control of
insects, weeds and grass.
