OPPOSING ALL “GOOD THINGS”
Ih a speech in opposition to 'thaL
Florida pipe line oil supply project/
already noted in this column. Sena
tor J. W. Bailey, Democrat < of North
Carolina, *but not a New Dealer,
made this very important statement:
“I am glad the proposal I am op
posing is a good thing. I intend to
smile. “All out," comes the curt re
tort; or “I’m saving mine for trucks.”
Maybe it’s just a sad shake of the
head.
Free air? Try to get it on a Sun
day, when you are heading for the
country and remember that leaky
formation, repairs for your tires and
cool drinks for your insides. For all
we know there may be Indians lurk
ing again in the swamps of the Low-
country. The days of “service” are
gone,'and you can help yourself, be
ginning now. — The News and Cou
rier.
S-HOUtWSK
FOR m WORKERS
Washington, July 28.—The govern
ment today established a policy that,
generally speaking, the nation’s mil
lions of war production workers
should toil no more than eight hours
a day and 48 hours a week, and that
all workers should have vacations to
restore their energy.
The Office of War Information
said the move was designed to pro
tect health, promote work efficien
cy and to stop “labor piracy” by
plants which entice workers away
from other jobs by offering them
opportunities of putting in long
overtime with high pay. . .
OWI emphasized that tire work
proposal “in no way affects” the
spare. The stations (that is, the ones wage-hour act’s provision requiring
time and
that still are in business) are closed
i in town, and their air pumps are
locked. A lounger at one closed place

• half jpay for all work
after 40 hours a week.
The policy standards subscribed tp
jointly by the war apef Navy depart
ments, Maritime commission, Public
Health service, War Manpower com
mission, War Production board, Com
merce and Labor departments, were
outlined by the OWI as follows;
1. For wartime production the
eight-hour diy and the, 48-hour week
approximate the best working sce-
dule for sustained efficiency in most
industrial operations.
2. One scheduled day of rest for
the i individual in approximately
every seven should be a-universal
and invariable rule.
3. A 30-minute meal period is de
sirable. , -r'V j’
4. Vacations are conducive to sus
tained production.
The statement was issued in the
form of a recommendation “to gov
ernmental establishments, to field
representatives of procurement agen
cies, and to contractors working on
war production.” It gave no hint
that compulsion would be used
against war materials producers who
failed voluntarily to abide by the
principles.
The OWI pointed out that 1,500,-
000 war workers were now working
over 48 hours a week, according to ’
Labor department reports, and some
80 to 85 hours, because of the large
pay inducements for /workers who
voluntarily put in overtime hours.
“Large overtime offers are being
used in some instances to pirate
workers from other war plants,” the
OWI said.
