Wages-Hours Bill Reaches Legislators
Raleigh February 2 AP The labor department proposes a wage hour act for intra state commerce with a 25 cent hour minimum rising to 40 cents by year seven and 44 hour weeks initially and 40 hour weeks after two years. The bill would be administered by a labor commissioner with an governor appointed advisory board. Public hearings will follow within two weeks, with sponsors Representative Uzzell and Wilson and Senator Bain. Senate advocates argue for economic efficiency in road funding and a separate anti-diversion good roads measure may fail to gain minority support. The House moved to set a five dollar annual State Bar membership fee with enforcement by judges and approved a joint resolution urging a Halifax county national park. The House narrowly defeated a proposal to provide county commissions with liquor controls.
