Overtime Scrapped on Weekends by CIO as War Debate Roils
The CIO executive board urged unions to drop overtime payments for Saturday Sunday and holiday work within a 40 hour week. AFL President Green said his group would waive double time for Sunday and holiday work in war industries. President Roosevelt opposed relaxing the 40 hour limit, warning of pay cuts and urged no change. War Production Board chief Nelson urged 30 days to persuade unions. The move aims to boost production and push factories to three shifts seven days a week. Many unions reportedly already have such provisions, including United Electrical Workers and United Auto Workers.

Conservation Of Blue Crabs To Be Sought

The plan sets up a biological and statistical study to manage the fishery and requires state technical units to provide data while the Federal service coordinates and makes recommendations. The note about sharecroppers and farm hands appears unrelated to the crab issue.
