Compromise Sets 40 Cent Wage in Interstate Industry
A joint congressional committee reached a wage hour compromise setting a 40 cent minimum for interstate industries after seven years, with a 25 cent floor in year one and 30 cents in year two. A central board would adjust rates by industry, with regional concessions to southern concerns and a later move to 40 cents if employment is not harmed. The plan faced opposition in the Senate and House, with key votes along party lines and regional interests.
