Wage Hour Bill Stalled in House Sees Possible Comeback
President Roosevelt hopes for a House vote on wage hour reform this session after the rules committee blocked quick floor action. The bill would set a national minimum wage starting at 25 cents per hour, rising to 40 cents in three years, with 44 hours weekly down to 40 in two years. Only interstate industries would be affected. Representative Cox of Georgia says the measure is dead for the session, warning a petition would threaten federal business control. Roosevelt replied that the subject should be before the House again, without passing judgment on its merits.
