CIO Wins Sole Bargaining Rights In Vote of Steel Company Workers
Roosevelt plans a wage and hour bill in Congress proposing a 40 cent minimum hourly wage and a 35 hour maximum workweek for interstate industries.

The bill would cap federal wage control at 1500 dollars annually per worker and exclude firms with fewer than 20 employees.
