MacDONALD, EDDY
By 808 THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 25—{(AP)
~—Jeanette MacDonald is back in
Hollywood, but she isn't rushing
into any film that may seem like
a “natural” for her and Nelson
Eddy.
The Philadelphia canary frankly
admitted that her “Naughty Mari
etta” days are over, she and Nei
son being 10 years older, and.
would feel strange playing such
roles. At present, a musical ver
sion of “Reunion in Vienna” is be
ing prepared for them at MGM.
But the ceript is still in the con
ference stage and the music hasn't
reached the arranger’s desk.
“#lnstead of digging through a
list of famous composers and try
ing to make a story around the
music” she said, “I wish they
would first find a good story with
music possibilities, as they are
doing with ‘Reunion.” Then they
could find a good composer 1o
create the music. There are un
doubtedly many fine composers in
this country, waiting to be dis
covered.”
But until that perfect marriage
of story and music appears, Jean
ette is going to continue enjoying
her second honeymeon, now that
Gene Raymond is home from the
service,

U. S. Seizes Strike-Bound Indusiry
' By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-—(AP)—When the government seizes a
strikebound plant or industry, who pays the strikers returning to
\.\'Qrk n_nd‘hmv_nm(-h do they get o
This is how it goes: |
The governmeént takes over. The
strikers return at the rate of pay
they got when they quit. Any in- |
creases depend upon a later de
cision of the government. g
The government can do severai
things. . |
1. If the management is willing
to cooperate with the government
it just continues to manage as it
did in the past, except that the
government is supervisor.
Which means: Management
pays the wages, as it always did,
out of its income and keeps any
profits it makes after paying ex
penses.
« This is what happened when
the Navy seized the strike-bound
gil industry.
2. If the management refuses to
cooperate witk the government,
the government puts in its own
staff of managers. It pays operat
ing expenses, including wages,
out of government funds. Any
profit it makes, the government’
keeps.
The Army ‘says that is what
‘happened when it seized the
Montgomery-Ward properties.
Wage Increase?
. But what about the wage in
crease workers asked? Do they
get it? This® depends on the in
invidual case.
In the oil industry the strikers
who returned to their jobs under
government supervision wanted 2
pay increase. Later a government
fact-finding board said they
should get an increase of 18 per
cent an hour.
But the Navy didn’t put that
into effect and for this reason:
The board said the raise should
go into effect when and if = the
workers returned to a 40-hour
Week.
The Navy has been operating
the plants at 48 hours a week.
This means the workers got their
old rate of pay for the first 40
hours of work and time-and-a
half for overtime for all hours
over 40. e
So,they worked 48 hours and
got paid for 52. Thris gave them
more pay than they would have
received if they had worked only
40 hours a week with the 18 per
cent increase. :
Of the 53 refineries seized b
the Navy, i§ have signed agree
ments with the union to pay the
18 per cent increase when they
return to a 40-hour week. This
may not be for months. The Navy
still holds the other 34 plants
which have not signed the agree
‘ment. :
Now take the Montgomery
‘Ward seizure by the Army. The
old War Labor Board had decided
the workers should get an increase
}of 5 cents an hour. The.company,
according to the Army, refused to
comply. So the Army not only
took over and paid the workers
out of government funds, but also
handed out the increases ordered
by the War Labor Board. The
government lost about $400,000
lwhile running the company.
However, take the meat pack-
