Wage and Hour Division Shows Cautious Enforcement Push
Bruce Catton reports that Elmer F Andrews backs tough action to enforce the wages and hours law. The first grand jury indictment in Boston signals firmness, yet resistance remains light given coverage of about 1,000,000 workers. The division, with 128 inspectors, can pursue criminal actions, fines up to 10000, or six months in jail. Workers may sue for unpaid wages, with double recovery and attorney fees. Six injunction suits have been filed, including against Harwell Manufacturing Corp for underpaying workers in Virginia.

The measure would impose a three year deadline for utility appeal reviews and hinges on bond figures tied to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. The bill text notes it aims to facilitate disposition of appeals from city ordinances and sets conditions if the appeal has lingered and bond amounts exceed the original.
