Wage Hour Bill Signed By President
President Roosevelt signed the wage hour bill quietly, setting Oct. 24 as the operative date. The act creates a 44 hour week in its first year, raises minimums from 24 to 40 cents in seven years, and requires time and a half for overtime with sector exceptions and an appointed wage hour administrator to study conditions across interstate industries. About 200,000 workers earning under 25 cents will gain raises initially, with broader effects as rates advance.
