in a Nationwide contest sponsored
by the Quiz Kids radio program.
Mr. Fisher won a special recogni
tion award in the 1947 contest. A
letter from one of his pupils declar
ing: “Mr. Fisher just can't take third
place,” played a part in his first
place selection this year, the spon
sors said.

teacher in the elementary grades at
the Central School in Brigham,
Utah, won $1,000 as the best ele
mentary teacher and Miss Nellie

Vemer elementary schol in Tusca
lloosa. Ala., won the $1,000 award as
the best intermediate grades teach

High Court to Rule on Union's
Plea for 'Overtime on Overtime'
By the Asiociatvd Prtit
A wage-hour dispute involving
"overtime on overtime" is due to be
decided by the Supreme Court soon.
A set of lawsuits brought by steve
dores already has been argued be
fore the court. A ruling may come
Tuesday or any following opinion |
day.
The issue is this:
The stevedores, sometimes called
longshoremen, get paid one rate for
daytime hours. They get another
pay rate—which is one and a half
times the daytime rate—for hours
worked at night, or on holidays or
week ends. The time and a half
rate is called an overtime rate in
their labor contracts.
Now the wage-hour law requires
that workers be paid one and a half
times their "regular rate of pay"
for hours worked beyond 40 hours a
week.
Overtime Considered Premium.
Employers involved in the suits
have been paying one and a hajf
times the daytime rate for hours
beyond 40 a week. They contend
this satisfies the wage-hour law
overtime requirement. The suing
workers say the overtime rate in
their contract is a misnomer; that
it is really a premium rate paid for
inconvenient night and holiday
work.
They argue that a night worker,
for example, who works more than
40 hours a week should be paid one
and a half times the regular rates
for such w'ork. Since they say the
regular rate for night and holiday
work is one and a half times the
day rate, that would mean their
"overtime on overtime” would figure
out at two and one-quarter times
the daytime, hourly rate.
How the Supreme Court’s decision
might apply to other industries is a
big cause for argument. Some in
dustrailists have claimed that a
ruling favorable to the stevedores
could lead to back-pay suits aggre
gating $30,000,000,000.
Labor organizations say the figure
would be nearer $20,000,000.
Wage-Hour Administrator Wil
Device for Detecting
Monoxide Invented
By th« Associated Press
SANTA MARIA, Calif.. May 29 —
William C. Darby, inventor, claimed
today that after 17 years’ experi
mentation he has perfected a ’ fool
proof'' carbon monoxide gas de
tector to avert mine disasters.
The device, .which he said had
been tested successfully nearly 10,
000 times, is due to go into produc
tion soon.
It is about the size of a portable
radio and works on a ‘breather"
principle, taking in air and measur
ing it for carbon, monoxide content.
It has a buzzer and red light warn
ing device actuated by the presence
of the deadly gas. The theory is
that, this would give miners time
to reach safety before asphyxiation
or an explosion.
Arms Seized in Bengal
The West Bengal government, in
India, got very scant response to its
demands that all individuals sur
render their firearms and govern
ment agents had to seize revolvers,
swords, daggers and hand grenades
bv force.
liam R. McComb, while making no
estimate of potential liability, say*
a decision for the stevedores would
not lead to the recovery of any
•‘considerable sums of money" from
employers.
In the cases now before the
Supreme Court, a Federal District
Court held for the employers but a
United States Circuit Court re
versed the decision and held for the
workers.
