.Overtime Paid
Onder Union Pads
Held as Meeting Law
Some Employers Thought
Added Sum Hod to Be Paid,
Wage-Hour Head Says
Employers who pay overtime
under union agreements may con
sider such compensation as paid
also to meet the requirements of
the Fair Labor Standards Act,
Wage-Hour Administrator Fleming
announced today in releasing new
rules covering the relationship of
union agreements to the wage-hour
law.
“Some employers have felt that
when they pay overtime compensa
tion in accordance with a union
agreement, they may not take the
credit for doing so, but they believe
that they must pay an amount m
addition to the amounts paid under
the agreement," Col. Fleming said.
The additional amount, they under
stand. must equal time and a half
the employe's regular rate of pay
for the number of hours worked in
excess of 42.
AutomaticaUy Obeying Law.
"This is definitely not the case.
An employer may properly consider
as overtime compensation paid by
him for the purpose of satisfying
the requirements of the act any
extra compensation he may have
paid for overtime work under a
union agreement or other agree
ment
“The act does not require the
employer to pay overtime on over
time. For example, if a union
agreement calls for a 42-hour week
and overtime at time and a half
the regular rate for all hours over
the 42, and an employer complies
with this agreement, he is automat
ically obeying the law. However,
after October 24, this year, on which
date maximum hours allowable will
be reduced to 40, if an employer
then continues to pay only in ac
cordance with the union agreement
he will not be obeying the law, and
his compliance with the union
agreement, even to the letter, will
not be an acceptable excuse for
violation of the statute.
Another Misunderstanding.
"Some misunderstandings have
also arisen in interpreting the
act as it operates in connection with
a union agreement requiring time
and a half for all hours worked in
excess of eight hours a day, the
normal, or regular, work day. Here
again it is entirely unnecessary for
an employer to pay overtime on
overtime. Tire official yardstick for
calculation of compensation under
the Fair Labor Standards Act is
the single work week.”
In a recent supplement to Inter
pretative Bulletin No. 4 the Wage
Hour Division discusses “supper
money” and payment for holidays
not worked. Under Administrator
Fleming's ruling neither "supper
money” nor payments made on hol
idays can be claimed by employers
as overtime payments and credited
as overtime wages paid to meet the
requirements of the law.

Soft-Wafer Tip Saves
Railroad Fuel Cash
Bit the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 22.
—A couple of railroad engineers,
George McCormick and Frank Rus
sell, sauntered through the South
ern Pacific's West Oakland laundry
a few years ago and overheard a
conversation about water softening
to save soap.
They got an idea right there that
helped the railroad set a new rec
ord in fuel efficiency.
It came out the other day when
the road’s statisticians figured the
company hauled 10.31 tons of
freight a mile for every pound of
fuel in 1939, just about twice as
many tons hauled as 20 years ago.
The remark was that the water
softening stuff saved more on the
linen washed than on the soap.
The two engineers substituted loco
motive boilers for linen. They tried
the water softener to stop the de
posit in boiler pipes which inter
feres with heating and it worked.
McCormick is now general super
intendent of motive power and Rus
sell is mechanical engineer.
Don't Blame Weather
On War, Says Expert
By the Associated Press.
PLAINFIELD, N. J., July 22 —
The European war is the public’s
favorite explanation of cold and
rainy weather of the present year.
This report comes from the rec
ords of S. K. Pearson, for 35 years
co-operative observer here for the
United States Weather Bureau.
People did exactly the same thing
in the World War. he said. The
reason is a popular belief that
large-scale explosions affect weath
er. Pearson declared, however, the
detonations in Europe don’t even
affect the weather there, let alone
here.
There is always, in his experience,
some fantastic explanation for un
usual weather spells. Radio and
“its many air waves” was one. An
other common belief is that some
astronomical event causes bad
weather. Mar’s proximity, the lin
ing up of certain planets and posi
tions of the moon are examples.

Stewed Prunes Credited
To Comanche Indians
By the Associated Press. \
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 22.—
The Comanche Indian was probably
the originator of the well-known
breakfast dish, stewed prunes.
This and other new aspects of
prehistoric Indian diet are reported
today by Dr. Gustav G. Carlson,
assistant professor of sociology,
University of Cincinnati, and Vol
ney H. Jones, University of Michi
gan, as a result of research on the
Comanche reservation near Xndla
homa, Okla.
The Comanches seeded and dried
a form of'plum for storing, later
to be boiled and eaten. This was
such a delicacy that in winter they
sometimes obtained plums by track
ing pack rats to their nests and
taking the hoarded supply.
A sidelight on Comanche do
mettle life «u use of spines of a
prairie cactus to punish unfaithful
wives.
The study, in general, contradicts
conclusions of earlier investiga
tors that American Indians of the
plains tribes depended mostly on
game for food. The report lists 30
food or beverage uses of plants
and 23 medicinal uses, covering 73
different plants.
To avoid stomache ache from
fresh fruit it was an Indian custom
to bark Uka a wolf before eating.
A cross painted on the forehead
with red juice of an edible cactus
was supposed to prevent digestive
upsets from this same cactus.
