Farm Bloc Steps to Block Wage Hour Amendments Fight
Washington May 5 Strong farm bloc opposition threatened administration plans to rush through wage hour amendments in the house under a two thirds rule. Farm members objected to exemptions for agricultural labor plus probes into 60 hour limits, while five national farm groups warned the changes would intensify hardships in agriculture. The labor committee substituted exemptions for 16 farm operations, allowing overtime only after 60 hours, with debates over broader minimum wage effects and other administration amendments to aid white collar workers and Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The house also weighed parity payments in the agriculture department appropriation and awaited Florida canal votes as the senate recessed.
