Wage Bill Clears House With Kennedy Push
The administration won a thumping House victory 230 to 196 on the minimum wage bill, which the Senate had approved 64 to 28 earlier. It would raise the hourly minimum to 1.25 over 28 months and cover 3.62 million workers. Labor Secretary Goldberg hailed it as long overdue protection for underprivileged Americans. The bill includes exemptions for specific groups, a move that shifted Republican and Southern Democrat support. It is the second of Kennedy's five major proposals, with related notices for Western Hills Country Club membership.
