INCREASED EARNINGS
OF MILLION WORKERS
Washington, D. C.?More than
a million of the nation's lowestpaidi
sweated workers?many of
whofti had toiled for starvation

boosted to well above 30 cents

Act. - - - '* - w J*;.
That was one of the many remarkable
gains cited on the occasion
of the third birthday of
the law by General Phillip B.
Fleming, its administrator.
Fleming listed these other impressive
benefits:
"Hundreds of thousands ,of
American workers who once got
so little for their labor that they
could not live without charity
or relief have been made selfsupporting.
"Responsible employers wno
pay fair wages have been partially
freed from the competition
of irresponsible employers.
"More than a hundred million
dollars additional is being
paid to labor this year because
Df this law.
"The reasonable and just principle
that extra long hours of
ivork should be paid for with
;xtra overtime has been firmly
jstablished. 1
"In enforcing the law, we
lave made employers pay about
?16,000,000 in back wages legally
iue to about, 500,000 workers."

plans to make the *40-cent

possible, Fleming declared.
