Advocates rush to vote on a wage hour bill backed by President Roosevelt and major unions. A petition method could push the measure through by May 23, as Republicans split over strategy, while farm groups denounce the plan as harmful and demoralising. The proposal would set a 25-cent minimum wage rising to 40 cents in three years with a 44-hour work week reducing to 40 hours in two years.
