Kennedy Rebuffs Pay Measure in House Vote
A conservative House coalition blocked President Kennedy’s minimum wage plan by defeating a compromise bill 186 to 185. The Ayres bill would raise the wage to 1.15 dollars for 24 million workers, adding 1.4 million previously uncovered. The administration’s preferred plan, to reach 1.25 in two steps, would have covered 3.8 million more workers. The loss hit Kennedy allies and the House leadership as Republicans held firm. The measure now advances to the Senate amid wider debate on labor policy.
