There is some dissatisfaction among Operatives With the rather severe war-tine legislation affecting wages as well as money salaries and hours of work. It is understood that a special levy of 15 percent is to be imposed on all wages and salaries for men between 18 and M9 who have not been drafted. An extension of weekly working hours from no to M5 per week, without any increase in weekly wages, is also authorized by decree law and.a further increase in weekly hours in industry generally up to 60 is allowed.
