Ball Bill Would Scuttle Wage Hour Like Taft-Hartley Did
Washington battles over labor shift to Sen. Ball who proposed a wage hour amendment seen as a strong strike against the Wagner Act. The measure would raise minimums to 60 cents yet allow industry committees to set 50 to 70 cents and threaten coverage for millions of workers.
