Wage Hour Bill Court Test Seen
A joint congressional committee approved a compromise wage hour bill. It is expected to pass Congress and go to the president for signature by mid week. The plan creates a wage hour administration to set minimum wages and maximum hours in interstate industries. The 25 cent wage becomes effective 120 days after enactment with a 36 cent minimum a year later. An administrator heads the division and forms boards with labor, employers and the public to raise wages to 40 cents and cut the work week from 49 to 44 hours as feasible.
