Wage-Hour officials of the South-
west this week reported approxi-
mately $900,000 in agreed restitu-
tion of back wages for the year
1942, and promised continued active
administration of the Fair Labor
Standards and Public Contracts
Acts.
The year-end summary was is-
sued by Russell L. Kingston, newly
appointed Regional Director for the
Wage-Hour and Public Contracts
Divisions of the U. S. Department
of Labor with headquarters in
Dallas.
A total of 2938 wage-hour in-
spections were completed during
1942 in the four-state Region, in-
cluding Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and New Mexico, according to
Kingston’s report.
Restitution of back wages agreed
to totaled $893,499.
“This figure represents only a
portion of the benefits realized for
the year in this Region under the
provisions of the Fair Labor Stand-

for good poultry,” Mr. Archer de-
clared.
He said that ordinary birds would
have no place in the program, and
urged that vocational teachers and
county agents examine each bird to
ascertain its superiority.
In the turkey division, all entries
should he of the broad-breasted
type, and must have been hatched
after May 1, 1942.
“It is intended that these birds
shall be market turkeys only,” Mr.
Archer said. “All breeds are eli-
gible to compete.”
The auction sale of capons and
fat poultry will be held at 1 p. m.
Monday, February 8. Last year, the'

Children’s Bureau of Department
Of Labor Drafts Standards for
Employment of Youth in War Industry
the employment of boys and girls
in war industries has been drafted
by the Children's Bureau of the U.
S. Department of Labor, and is
now available to industries of the
Southwest, it was announced from
Dallas this week.
“The advisory standards are de-
signed to supplement the manda-
tory regulations now governing
"Our latest batch of War Bonds is bringing almost imme-
diate action."
In the words of President Roosevelt, Labor’s’ greatest friend,
“Labor’s active participation in a cause which is so close to

ardous occupations,” said Miss Mil-
dred Dougherty, Associate Child
Labor Consultant for the Depart-
ment of Labor, who has offices in
Dallas and in Austin.
As advisory standards they are
not confined to interstate indus-
tries, but are intended for use in
intra-state industries as well.
The standards are embodied in a
series of bulletins which may be
obtained by writing the Department
of Labor in Washington or by ad-
dressing Miss Dougherty at her
Austin office, 404 Old Post Office
Building.
“War has brought about a tre-
mendous expansion in the employ-
ment of boys and girls in industry,”
said Miss Dougherty. “The use of
such young workers, whenever rea-
sonable, to replace men of military
age and fitness, has been approved
by the nation’s highest officials, in-
cluding President Roosevelt. Rea-
sonable employment og such boys
and girls obviously, is employment
where they will not be subjected to
injury or impairment of health.”
These advisory standards have
been prepared by the Children’s
Bureau to assist employers in at-
taining this objective in their use
of young workers.
The first leaflet deals with the
problem in general. The succeeding
leaflets deal with the accident and
health hazards of various kinds of

middlemen, many butchers were
left stranded. Their sole source of
supply was gone, and those who de-
sire to continue in business turned
to racketeers, who were able to
supply meat in any desired quan-
tity—at an extortionate price.
Prices have skyrocketed beyond
reach of families of modest in-
come. An investigation by Consum-
ers’ Union in New York disclosed
that thousands of families are un-
able to buy even the cheapest cuts.
The survey also revealed that
only a quarter of the meat shops
are complying with O. P. A. price-
posting regulations, and that very
few of these shops are keeping un-
der the price ceiling, >
Prices of all but a few cuts of
meat were found to be more than
twice the established ceilings.
Retailers told investigators they
were forced to buy on the black
market to get meat and had to pay
salesmeh “substantial tips” before
orders were filled.
Salesmen for the packers were
also revealed as operating on the
side a “racket” in butter.
Retailers who obtain meat are
compelled to accept an inferior
grade of butter at premium prices
and sell it at a loss or in violation
of price ceilings.
Retailers complain that the gang-
sters have been operating openly
for weeks and said they were un-
able to understand why they have
so long enjoyed immunity, especial-
ly in the light of hundreds of pro-
tests that have flowed into O. P. A.
headquarters.
wartime.
The leaflets suggest the types of
work suitable for 16 and 17-year-
old boys and girls and point out the
types of work that are particularly
hazardous and, therefore, unsuit-
able for them.
Miss Dougherty cited as an ex-
ample Leaflet No. 2, which deals
with the employment of young
workers in shipbuilding. Concern-
ing the use of 16 and 17-year-olds
in this industry, the leaflet sets
forth three underlying facts:
1. Work on the ship ways is the
most hazardous of all shipbuilding
work—much more hazardous than
work done on the shor or in the
shops.
2. Fitting-out work on board ship
is more hazardous than work in
a dozen radio programs in which
the Act was explained. The clinics
were question-and-answer sessions
in which employers and labor lead-
ers participated equally, discussing
with officials in detail the Act’s
provisions.
“But wage stabilization was only
one of the extra war assignments
accepted by the Wage-Hour and
Public Contracts Divisions during
the year,” said Kingston. “Immedi-
ately after Pearl Harbor the full
facilities of our organization were
offered for emergency duty—and
accepted. Most of these duties are
continuing, and a heavy year lies
ahead.
“In recent months, for instance,
our inspectors have completed 359
audits of war materials under the
Production Requirements Plan—the
system set up some months ago by
the War Production Board to con-
trol the flow of vital war supplies.
“Numerous surveys also were
made—for OPA a tire survey and
a survey of used machinery, and for
WPB, surveys of canning, electro-
typers’ and photo engravers’ mate-
rials, defense housing, steel ware-
houses, copper, brass, aluminum
and scrap metal.
McGown, the WLB regional
director, commenting on the assist-
ance rendered his office by Wage-
Hour, recalled that he started his
Southwest assignment .in October
without a staff. The Wage-Hour
Division provided temporary office
space and lent him personnel. ‘Its
administrative officers advised with
us on setting up our staff,” he said.
“‘Its field force was ‘ready-made’
for the job ahead—and our pro-
gram was under way in days, in-
stead of weeks.”
Concerning the Wage-Hour Act
itself, Kingston said:
“The great goal of the American
home front is to achieve maximum
war production. We believe that
the Fair Labor Standards Act has
contributed much toward the sta-
bilized wage structure which has
made possible the miracle of Amer-
ican production achieved thus far—
and the further achievements to
come.
“Our division has assumed from
the start of the war, however, that
its full duty would encompass more

3. Repair work in general is
more hazardous than new construc-
tion. n
With this as a basis, the Chil-
dren’s Buream recommended that
young people, 16-and17years of
age, working in shipyards, should
be limited for the first six months
or year to such work as laying-out,
bolting-up, welding or working on
sub-assembly in the yard or in the
plate shop; less hazardous work in
other shops; fitting-out work on
board ship not dore in connection
with rigging or the handling ef
heavy materials; bench work or
hand blacksmithing in the shops,
and other similar jobs—also cleri-
cal work.
Shipyard jobs on which workers
under 18 should not be employed at
all, according to the Children’s Bu-
reau, included construction work on
the hull or superstructure and fit-
ting-out work involving rigging,
erecting or the handling of heavy
material; also work in preparation
of ways,, in grinding or dry-mixing
of paint and spray painting and in
the transportation of steel and lum-
ber and other heavy materials.
Another bulletin deals with the
hazards of industries which handle
lead and lead products. In general,
this bulletin warns against employ-
ment of children where they might
be exposed to lead dust or lead
fumes, and outlines a list of six
types of work which can be done
safely by 16 and 17-year-old em-
ployes.
Other bulletins deal with welding,
exposure to carbon disulphate and
exposure to chlorinated solvents.
Still others are to be released
shortly.
American Families
Every effort to furnish adequate
medical care for American families
was promised last week by Paul V.
McNutt, Chairman of the War
Manpower Commission.
The Chairman’s statement was
based on a report by Dr. Frank H.
Lahey, Chairman of the Directing
Board, Procurement and Assign-
ment Service for Physicians, Den-
tists, and Veterinarians, which is a
part of the WMC.
Some physicians, Dr. Lahey indi-
cated, will be asked to volunteer for
practice in areas oher than those
in which they are now located. This
will be done to assure at least a
minimum standard of medical care.
It is hoped that in most instances,

the act. Each war assignment has
been accepted gladly.
“The personnel of the division—
and of this region—deserve credit
for this fact. Inspectors have ac-
cepted an ever-increasing burden of
work willingly, and have turned to
enthusiastically to get each new job
done.”
The truce on “raiding," negoti-
ated recently by A. F. of L. and C.
I. O. committees, received its first
official “okay” this week—by the
executive board of the C. I. O. Next
week the truce plan will be acted
on by the Executive Council of the
A. F. of L., at its mid-winter meet-
ing in Miami.
The proposal calls for the crea-
tion of a joint committee of both
sides to dispose of jurisdictional
disputes between rival unions and
for arbitration of the differences
where the committee cannot agree.
The plan was made subject to rati-
fication by the governing bodies of
• each group.
President Philip Murray of the
C. I. O. said his board approved the
plan without a dissenting vote, but
the C. I. O. “raids” ’on the Kaiser
shipyards were looked upon as a
stumbling block to A. F. of L. con-
firmation.
Raiding Is Obstacle
“These raids are likely to prove
a serious obstacle to ratification,”
• declared the Federation’s “Weekly
News Service.’
The A. F. of L.-C. I. O. battle in-
volving the yards of Henry J. Kai-
ser is one of the most bitter in
years. Although these yards are
under closed shop agreements with
A. F. of L. unions, with relations
harmonious and production at a
record level, the C. I. O. Shipbuild-
ing Workers’ union filed charges
with the National Labor Relations
Board designed to break the agree-
ments on the technical ground that
they were negotiated before the
yards reached peak employment.
Labor Board Interferes
In the face of protests by many
union leaders and government offi-
cials, the Labor Board issued a com-
plaint against the Kaiser yards,
based on the C. I. O. charges, and
ordered hearings which started in
Portland, Ore., on Monday.
Kaiser’s attorneys have gone into
Federal court in Portland, asking
for an injunction to stop the hear-
ings, on the claim that two of the
board members—Chairman H. A.
Millis and Gerard Reilly—had “pre-
judged” the case in favor of the C.
I. O., and that they are, therefore,
disqualified from proceeding with
it. The court fixed next Monday for
. arguments on the injunction plea.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Presi-
dent William Green of the A. F. of
L. sent a letter to every Congress-
man denouncing the Labor Board
for going ahead with the case.
Creates Internal Warfare
Its action, he said, “‘will- inter-
fere ath production, lower morale
of the employes, create internal
warfare, and substitute bitterness
and hatred for the harmony and
goodwill that now prevail.”
Green declared the board was not
obligated by law to proceed with
the complaint, and could have exer-
cised its discretion to drop the
whole matter for the sake of the
war effort and of peace on the labor
front
"While he did not ask for any spe-
cific congressional action, Green in-
sisted that “someone in authority
in the government” should halt pro-
ceedings “at any cost,” as a men-
ace to the production of ships.

much less cost to the government.”

the three months since stabilization
went into affect, Wage-Hour in-
spectors in the Southwest had in-
terviewed approximately 8000 per-
sons— mostly employers — on re-
quests for wage adjustments.
Of those interviewed, more than
2400 filed formal applications for
Wage-Hour rulings on the proposed
pay increases.
“We are glad to report that in
1624 of these cases—-more than 67
per cent—we were able to authorize
the pay adjustments immediately
under general orders issued by the
War Labor Board,” said Kingston.
“This was due to the flexibility of
the wage stabilization program,
permitting justifiable advances in
pay.”
In the 800-odd requests which the
Wage-Hour office had no authority
to approve, all applicants were re-
ferred to the War Labor Board and
more than 500 have filed detailed
applications which the Wage-Hour
officials transmitted to WLB.

Our military leaders insist on giv-
ing the boys in uniform many
months of drill and special training
before they consider them ready
for active duty on the battle fronts.
In the same way, though to a
lesser degree, the experience gained
during the past year will be of
great benefit to the nation’s’ army
of production soldiers and will help
them perform their tasks more
efficiently.
There is no question that labor
relations as a whole have improved
considerably since Pearl Harbor.
Workers and management are co-
operating for maximum productih
to a wider extent than ever before
in the nation’s history. Progress
has been achieved because both
sides have been more willing to put
aside their own selfish interests and
to unite on a single objective of
turning out more and more goods.

case where a violation is found and
restitution agreed to there are un-
counted and uncountable instances
where firms have voluntarily come
under compliance with the law and
made restitution, without the mat-
ter ever coming to our attention.
“To induce voluntary compliance
from the start is much more impor-
tant, in the Division’s estimation,
than to obtain restitution after the
law has been violated. Certainly
from every viewpoint—of labor,
management and the wage-hour ad-
ministration, prevention is much
more important than cure, as re-
gards violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.”
Kingston’s report also stressed
the numerous wartime duties as-
sumed by the Wage-Hour organiza-
tion—duties which he said were
executed without relaxing the ad-
ministration of the Fair Labor
Standards Act. This phase of the
wage-hour year-end report brought
comment from Floyd McGown, Re-
gional Director of the War Labor
Board, that the. Wage-Hour Divi-
sion, in his opinion, had assumed
the status of a “‘full-fledged war
agency.” The Wage-Hour staff has
handled all field work for WLB
since inauguration of the federal
and even exceed” the Nation’s dou-
bled war production goals for this
year.
“Our army of production soldiers
made good last year,” the council
declared. “They will do even better
this year if they are given a fair
chance.”
The statement warned against
“force, compulsion or regimenta-
tion” in the handling of war pro-
duction problems and pointed out
that voluntary methods bring the
best results.
The experience and training that
the Nation’s labor force obtained
on the job last year will stand
America in good stead this year
and make for increased output.
Other favorable factors, processes,
and the completion of many new
plants for the manufacture of
planes, ships, tanks and guns.
The council’s declaration was
made public by President William
Green at a press conference follow-
ing the first session of the annual
mid-winter meeting.
Mr. Green disclosed that the
council plans to review the entire
course of the war effort to date and
chart plans and policies for the
future which will promote increased
and more efficient production:
He also announced that the first
meetings of the Anglo-American
Labor Committee will be held here
next week when the British dele-
gation, headed by Sir Walter Cit-
rine, is scheduled to arrive from
overseas.
This meeting, he said, will dis-
cuss ways and means of expanding
war production among the United
Nations and of widening the scope
of labor’s participation in the war
effort. The committee also will
make plans for labor representation
at the peace conferences after vic-
tory is achieved.
Mr. Green revealed that a com-
mittee of building and metal trades
union representatives appeared be-
fore the Executive Council to de-
nounce the CIO raid against the
AFL unions which hold closed shop
agreements with the Kaiser ship-
building interests in the Northwest.
He indicated thatAthe council may
send a telegram to the President of
the United States protesting
against the action of the National
Labor Relations Board in giving of-
ficial recognition to the CIO raid
by holding hearings in the case.
“We feel that this governmental
agency is making a great mistake
by persisting with this Kaiser case
at this time,” Mr. Green said. “The
■AFL workers in this shipyard have
maintained a perfect record. They
have reached new heights of pro-
duction. The action of the NLRB
will lower efficiency, retard produc-
tion and create bitter feelings.”

able to maintain its lead which it
established in the financing last
August.”
Mr. Churchill continued, “We
must not become too optimis-
tic over this fine showing as all of
us should realize that our work is
to continue for the duration of the
war.”
George V. Rotan, co-chairman of
the Harris County Victory Fund
Committee, stated, “Speaking for
Mr. Harris, the co-chairman and
myself, we are most pleased that
Harris County, during the Cruiser
Houston drive, was able to provide
$85,749,884.24 of the Houston Re-
gion’s total amount. However, we
must not be misled by these fig-
ures. A great deal more hard work
must be looked forward to and dur
efforts must be redoubled when the
next drive in late March or early
April is embarked upon. We real-
ize that many people in Harris
County were not reached by our
workers, and it is my personal
opinion that we have hardly
scratched the surface.”
George N. Allen, Executive Sec-
retary of the Harris County Vic-
tory Fund Committee stated that he
was even now preparing plans for
the next drive, and called the at-
tention of the citizens of Harris
County to the fact that Series F
and G bonds as well as Tax Savings
Notes are continuously on sale and
that the Savings bonds should be
purchased out of current income.
He further announced that he is
sending a letter to more than seven
hundred corporations in Harris
County asking that they plan to
make their purchases of Tax Sav-
ings Notes, Series C, on a monthly
basis so that the-impact of the next
tax law will not come upon them
too heavily toward the end of 1943.

ployers and solving many personnel
and operational problems. Some of
the nation’s outstanding industrial
executives freely and publicly ac-
knowledge that their amazing pro-
duction gains could not have been
achieved without the valuable sug-
gestions and eager cooperation of
their workers and the union that
represents them.
Furthermore, in several impor-
tant industries, wages and working
conditions have been stabilized on a
fair basis, thereby removing many
past causes of disputes'
During 1942 American workers
for the most part lived up to labor’s
pledge to the President that pro-
duction would not be delayed by
strikes. Time lost due to strikes
and lockouts was reduced to a tiny
fraction of time worked. Consider-
ing how upset industrial conditions
were and the vast changes that
took place from month to month,
labor’s no-strike record in 1942 was
indeed remarkable. And we are de-
termined as part of our duty to the
nation and to the workers we rep-
resent, to see to it that such im-
provement comes to pass in the
months ahead.
Of course, there are pessimists
who become quickly discouraged by
the magnitude of the tasks before
us. And there are those who have
no real faith in the processes of de-
mocracy. These are the first to
demand that we discard the volun-
tary methods which bring results in
a democracy and to urge the sub-
stitution of force and compulsion
and regimentation. These are the
voices that call loudest for drafting
labor and freezing all labor condi-
tions and other dangerous experi-
ments—dangerous to war effort
and dangerous to our basic Ameri-
can freedoms.
Labor sees no justification for
such misadventure into the unex-
plored fields of desperation. After
all, it is the men and women of
labor who will be called on to do
the work. They are not frightened
or intimidated by the bigness of the
job that has to be done. They say:
“Give us the tools, give us the ma-
terials and we’ll deliver the goods.”
Our army of production soldiers
made good last year. They will do
even better this year if they are
just given a fair chance.
We pledge that the trade unions
affiliated With the American Fed-
eration of Labor will do everything
in their power to fulfill and even
exceed America’s war production
goals for 1943.

year. One of these will be a voca-
tional school exhibit, in which farm
youths will see methods demon-
strated. for making their farm
equipment go farther in war years.
Dairy-products and dairy stock
will be shown in a special exhibit
for the first time this year. There
will also be a rabbit show.
On Friday, February 12, the
Texas Hereford Association will
stage its annual- Hereford sale in
connection with the Houston Fat
Stock Show and Livestock Expo-
sition. Already, seven famous Texas
ranches have entered this event. E.
R. Johnson of Brady is secretary of
the -association. Those so far en-
tered include:
M. U. Borden, Houston; Essar
Ranch, San Antonio; Howard
Hampton, Clarksville; Moorin-
Wimberly Hereford Ranch, Bryan;
J. E. Robinson, Temple; Turner
Hereford Farm, Sylvester, and Mrs.
J. F. Yearwood, Georgetown.
The greatest number of entries
from the 4-H and F. F. A. clubs in
the entire exposition up to January
1 paradoxically came from a county
so far the most diStant to enter.
Approximately 75 entries will be
made from Fisher County, accord-
ing to T. H. Roensch, county agent.
Fisher County is 500 miles from
Houston. It will be the first time
the Fisher County boys have en-
tered the Houston exposition.
“We want to congratulate Hous-
ton on making a decision to hold
the show in 1943,” Mr. Roensch
said. “We know that our entries
will contribute materially to the
food locker for our all-out war
effort.”
Chief entertainment feature of
the event will be the Gene Autry
World Championship Rodeo. Autry,
now a sergeant in the United
States Army Air Forces at Luke
Field, Arizona, has combined his
own organization with those of
Everett Colborn of Dublin, Texas,
and William Clemens of Florence,
Arizona. The new combine operates
three large ranches, one at Gene
Autry, Okla.; another at Dublin,
and a third at Florence.
The best rodeo stock from all
three has been assembled at Dublin
and will be shipped to Houston. Ap-
proximately 600 head are included,
including 300 bucking horses from
the best strings of the land.
