Mills prepare test cases over upcoming wage order
By R J Scott several mills indicate they will file test cases against the expected wage order. Andrews is cited as powerless to modify the committee's recommendation and only two routes to change the order exist. Rejection with reopen hearings or discharging and reappointing the committee would take months, likely eliminating any 1939 industry wage order possibility.
