Union Orders 'Slow Down' W. U. Expects to Follow Same Procedure NEW YORK. Oct. 34. (AP) The Postal Telegraph company today con tinued Ha plan to lay off 1000 mes sengers as the American Communi cations association (CIO) pressed Its orders for a "slow down" of work in an effort to obtain a 44-hour week from- the company under the new wage and hour act. C. ' B. Allsopp. vice-president In charge of commercial departments of postal, announced the lay-off last night, saying the company found It necessary to "protect its financial position." Recently the company petitioned Elmer F. Andrews, wage-hour admin istrator, for permission to pay its messengers less than the 36-cents-an-hour minimum required under the act. Allsopp said the lay-off de cision waa reached without consulta tion with the Western Union Tele graph company, which also had asked exemption. Says Action Forced Allsopp aald his company waa "forced" into the lay-off action as 'the only course we could follow," The lay-off began last night, he said, and would be completed In two or three days. Tne company employs about 6800 messengers, of whom about 1000 are In New York. Western Union officials declined to discuss the wage-hour situation and refused to comment on Postal's action. Last week Western Union said It would have to discharge 3136 of Its approximately 14,000 messengers unless It was exempted under the wage-hour act. WASHINGTON. Oct. 35 (AP) The wage-hour administration may ask congress for broader authority In applying the new labor standards law to specific Industries. This prediction came today from high-ranking officials, who were swamped yjlth inquiries from em ployers asto whether the statute regulates minimum wagea and maxi mum hours for their particular busi nesses. Now that the wage-hour program actually haa gono Into effect. Ad ministrator Elmer F. Andrews and his staff are giving most of their attention to these appeals for assist ance. Their opinions will be only ad visory, however, for the courts must determine finally whether an lndl vldual Industry is In Interstate com meroe and therefore subject .to the federal law. Court Action Creed There Is also the possibility bus! ness men . will request clarifying amendments to the act and posslbl extension of the classes of exempted workers. Some employers, on the other hand, argue the courts should pass on the law as It now stands before making any changes In Its provisions. After the first day of the act's operation, Andrews reported last night most branches of industry were complying fully with the new standards, even though many com panies were not certain whether It applied to 'all their employes. Unofflclaf estimates Indicated more than 80.000 persons were thrown out of work by shutdowns of scattered Solve Your H WITH A 3 HEW fir; : -r- .! , New Ra-Dial Control Amazing Economy Come In Today and Let Us Show You This New Circulator Liberal Allowance on Your Old Stove Hubbard Bros.

(trpj a radu robot weather reporter lifted by six-foot helium-Inflated balloon as cended nearly 10 miles above the Oakland airport, marking the first attempt of the United States weather ouresu In the San Franclaco bar region to record weather conditions at high altitudes without danger to human life. The radio meteorograph, encased In a smalt black box, rose to 80,700 feet, exceeding by thousands of feet the highest mark ever set by weather bureau aviators In dally weather re cording flights. The tiny box costs only $30, con tains a miniature battery, capable of developing 90 volts, which powers a. radio transmitter, and transmits' temperature and humidity reports back to the weather bureau at the Oakland airport. K. M. Vernon, assistant director of the airport weather bureau, said the balloon may reach a maximum height of 100.000 feet, where gradual ex pansion of the gas in the silk bag causes the balloon to burst. The box containing the delicate recording in struments then floats safely to earth by means of a small parachute, he said. Previously. Vernon pointed out. recording Instruments have been taken aloft each night by plane to ft height of 16.500 feet. This method was unsatisfactory, he said, because) of the Inaccurate degree of temper ature and humidity at that altitude and the constant risk of the pilot's life Hying at night In all kinds of weather. Vernon said that although few of the robot "electrical brains" ever are returned to the weather bureau here, the results are being constantly re corded on delicate instrument in the airport weather bureau during the time the Instrument Is In the air.
