Relaxation of Labor Standards Seen By Miss Perkins Efficiency to Serve as Sole Test, Declares Cabinet Member Warning that shortages in avail- able labor during the present emer- gency will require “relaxations in accepted standards,” Secretary Per- kins declared today that the sole test of labor standards, in the all- out productlon program, must be their effect “on the efficiency of the individual to instire top war produc- tion.” In a statement of policy with re- spect to State hour laws, concurred in by the War, Navy and Labor De- partments, she urged the preserva- tion in State laws and regulations of seven basic principles, “except where modification may be neces- sary during the war period to assure maximum production.” Recommends Standards. The standards recommended by Becretary Perkins are as follows: A maximum 48-hour week; an/ eight-hour day, or the daily hours customarily worked in the particular establishment, industry or com- munity; one day off in seven; adap- tation of working hours and condi- tions to the age and sex of the worker and the nature of the occu- pation; provision for adequate meal and rest periods; proper safeguards for health and safety, and wage rates for women, including the en- trance rates, equal to those of mnn! workers. “The President has said that un- relenting production is the price of | geace with victory, and to this end e has ordered all war facilities to proceed immediately on a 24-hour- day, 7-day-week production basis,” Becretary Perkins declared. “Time is short, and the President's demand must be complied with now.” Opposes Relaxation on Minors. Becretary Perkins opposed any re- laxation of standards governing employment of minors under 16.| “There is no occasion to engage in | & blanket suspension of labor stand- ards” she said. “Social gains, not inconsistent with war needs, must be _consgrved.” Experience has shown, Becretary Perkins asserted, that weekly hours in excess of a maximum of 48 hours “result in decreased rather than in- ereased production when continued for any extended period of time.” Births Reported and Florence. iibur and Rose. boOY. s, Kichard and.

Nathan M. Lubar, author of the resolution, said there was no reason why liquor merchants should not have the same right as other re- tailers. He sald the House-passed bill, if voted into law, would de- prive Washington of a fair know- ledge of city-wide prices. Congress also was requested to enact more severe penalties than now provided for theft of automo- bile tires and accessories. A bill making such thefts a felony is now in the House. ‘The civic group, on motion of Mr. Lubar, voted to thank the Public Utilities Commission for ordering cross-town bus service. The association approved s pro- posal of the Federation that the Capital Transit Co. offer for sale three tokens for 25 cents. The re- quest will be discussed at s public hearing before the public utilities body Friday. Unanimous support of the Dis- vage campaign was voted by the organization. The association also approved a motion that proper steps be taken to incorporate the Mid- City group. Harry N. Stull, president of the Federation, spoke briefly on Dis- trict government. The meeting was held in Thomson School. ‘The additional District grand jury inquiring into Nazi propagands heard a New York bank official yes- terday and, in the absence of two expected witnesses, recessed until next Monday. John Dougherty, official of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, produced accounts reputedly con- nected with Douglas Stewart, one | of the leaders in Scribner’s Com- | mentator, a publication which has| figured in the investigation. | William Power Maloney and Ed- | ward J. Hickey, jr., special assistants | to the Attorney General, had expect- ed to have the grand jurors hear J. Franklin Webber and Willlam Griffin of New York in conjunction with the inquiry. Subpoenas may not have been served on the men in New York, officials said. Raleigh Club Elects L. D. Bushong was elected presi- dent of the Raleigh Hotel Five Year Club at its first 1942 meeting. Other officers hamed were C. C. Schiffeler, honorary chairman; Willlam Fer- laine, treasurer, and Myrtle Erbst, secretary. Feel Punk, Constipated?
