Mine Pay Idea May Spread to Other Fields

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 20. Portal-to-portal pay looks like 1% will become an issue in industries other than mining This became a probability today when the war labor hoard directed that tile portal-to-portal * principle be applied in an open-pit copper mine in New Mexico. Thus the board gave another twist to an issue which the:supreme court has recognized as valid in under- - ground iron-ore' mines, and on which John L. Lewis has won two victories for coal miners, The open-pit "copper mines in which WLB said the men should be paid from the time they appear

at the edge of the pit until they leave that edge, instead of from the time they arrive at and leave their actual working places down below is an operation-of the Kennecott Copper Corps of Santa Rita, NN M = = n

IT WAS DESCRIBED AS an open pit about four-fifths of a mile long, three-fifths of a mile wide, and about as deep as the Washington monument is high—" 555 feet. To “get from the rim to the working places down below,

- miners walk about two miles by

a truck road, unless they catch a ride on an automobile or a company bus. Dimensions of the Santa Rita pit are much less than many in- : dustrial plants -in- this country. For instance the Aliquippa works of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. near Pittsburgh is four: miles long and about a mile wide. The Irvin works of United States Steel Corp., and the Gary and South Chicago plants of the’ same concern are at least as huge. Some of the Detroit’ autemobile plants are .similarly breath-taking in size. = = " UNDER PRESENT industry practices, workmen check in at the entrance gates to these plants but are not at work for payroll purposes until they punch the clocks close to their actual working places. They punch out when their shifts - are finished, and then check out at the main gates. The time clocks govern the pay. Under national wage freezing policies, part of the stabilization program, about the only way a fellow can get a raise is through one of the so-called fringe issues. Management and labor authorities here agreed that the edge or rim question from Santa ta appears to be another bit®of

| fringe.

We, the Women ‘Me Firsters' Cancel Out Valuable Work

By RUTH MILLETT SHE'S AN old lady living alone and she doesn't think she is doing anything to help the war effort. That is a real cause of concern to her. Yet in the summer she works long holuirs’ in her garden, growing enough vegetables to carry her through the winter months She keeps a few . chickens, too, and she doés all of the work around her house and yard—even the heavy work. She buys just as few scarce articles as she can get along with, and puts everything that she can save into war bonds n » ” SEVERAL neighborhood bo} serving overseas get boxes of food from her regularly’ One day of the week she doesn’t count her own at all. On that day she goes to the Red Cross early and works a fall, uninterrupted day. But it bothers her that she isn't doing mnything for the war effort.
