The book, which will be on sale in December, has been writtep as a re- sponse to many requests for informa- tion on the subject it covers, from hundreds of business men, he con- tinned. It should be of value to! both the employer and the employee, in relation to every kind of job, from routine work to managerial positions, Professor Riegel added. Spent Two Years Studying Professor Riegel has spent more' than two years of part-time work in writing "Salary Determination,"1 visiting 40 carefully selected com- panies in order to study the methods they use in evaluating services of employees, ,ive conferences on material ob- tained during these tours of inspec- tion have been held at the Univer- sity, he continued, bringing more .than 151 of the outstanding business executives of the Middle West to- gether.PThroughout these confer- ences, Professor Rielgel emphasized, no attempt was made to influence discussion, and material obtained from the meetings is the result of in- dependent discussion and study by the men attending them. Valuable To Business lVren "Salary Determination," Professor Riegel ,pointed out, serves as a sort- ing and classifying volume, rather than as any setting-forth of definite rules -for evaluation of services. Business men, he continued, should find Its contents very valuable, as they classify methods of evaluation and compensation, stressing those Which seem to be the most workable, and successful.

Fuller Sees Man In dFai Labo New Be In Administrator May 'Trouble -Shooter' Behalf Of Labor Auditor Sees General Brown Black future LANSING, Nov. 20.-()-State officials divided .into two camps to- day in a controversy provoked by statements of Auditor General Ver- non J. Brown that Michigan's "pay- as-you-go" plan of financing its gov-' ernment has collapsed. Brown declared the budget was out of balance, and that the .incumbent Republican administration would add to the $32,000,O00 general fund de- ficit it inherited from its Democratic predecessor. Brown is a Republican. Emerson R. Boyles, Governor Dick- inson's legal adviser, tartly replied' that .there would be no overdrafts unless Brown permitted them. Boyles declared he and Qovernor Dickinson planned to make it their business to see that there was no deficit, even if the .legislature would have to be, ,recalled for a special session to enact some revenue-rasing measure. Budget Director G s T. Hartman -entered the controversy with a state- mwent that new taxes were not needed. By LVUCILE PODELL Although the principles of wage, hour, and child labor regulation in- volved in the Fair Labor Standards Act have gained wide popular support, there are formidable problems in its administration which must be solved, Prof. Richard C. Fuller of the sociol- ogy department, said yesterday in an interview. Colonel Phillip Fleming of the Unit- ed States Army was recently appoint- ed new administrator, Professor Ful- ler said, to replace Elmer Andrews who labor thought had become too conciliatory towards business. It is expected, said Professor Fuller, that Colonel Fleming will become a trouble shooter for labor and "crack down" on the various industries that have been violating the Act either in letter or spirit. Professor. Puller, in discus- sing the laxity that has so far pre-' vailed in the law's enforcement, pointed out that if the Act is going to have teeth in it, the administrator will have to set minimum wages above the blanket level of 30 cents an hour in as many industries engaged in in- terstate commerce as can afford to pay it. To date, this has only been accomplished in the hosiery and tex- tile industries, which have estab- lished a 32/2-cent an hour level. In this connection, Professor Ful- ler deplored the inadequate staff and appropriations that have been allot- ted to the administration of such an important law. At present there are only 451 members on the staff in Washington and 250 working in the field. Yet it is estimated that the Board receives 250 complaints a week and there are 12,000 alleged viola- tions still awaiting investigation.
