Wage Hour Compromise Shapes New Deal Labor Rules
Conferees from the senate and house drafted a wage hour compromise meeting some Southern demands. It sets a 25 cent minimum wage year one, rising to 30, and a 40 cent goal in five years with an early 44 hour week tapering to 40.

The plan follows debates over reviving elements of the national recovery act while limiting employment impact.
