He opposed a raise in the current $1.25 wage and urged careful study of effects on incomes, costs, and jobs. He also proposed overtime reform to double time after 48 hours, with 45 hours cap in three years, and suggested broader coverage for certain industries. He left room for later action on higher wages and a reduced work week.
