Painters who have visited Williams burg, he said, have tokt him that they "derived great inspiration and benefit" from examining this special painting job- Mr. Wormser told the between 300 and 400 assembled painting contractors that they were "really a part of the lead industry", since about nine out of every ten of them use white lead in their work. He added that, although many may not realize it, some 200,(300,000 pounds of white lead are consumed In a year by painters "in painting many beautiful homes, inside and outside." Court Orders Payment of Back Wages Totaling $250,000 New York City--An injunction di recting 11 of the largest firms in the Knitted'Outerwear Garment Industry to pay more than $250,000 as back wages to nearly 10,000 home workers from Maine to Tennessee has been signed by Federal Court Judge Edward . A. Conger. It provides that the de fendants stop the alleged practice of evading the Wages and Hours Law by making it appear that people who make knitted goods at home for them have lost the status o employes and instead are "independent manufacturers". The government charged that the defend- ants paid home workers piece work rates and not the legal rate of 25 cents an hour. ' - .. $$$&' &i#,W >W$v.
