Pay law hinges on Roosevelt choice of administrator
Washington June 14 AP The South’s chances for pay differentials under the wage hour bill depend on the president’s pick for an administrator. Senator Ellender says the administrator could interpret the act to soften sectional factors, while Senator Walsh argues boards will fix classification scales that may prevent regional minima. Ellender says the word solely allows geographical factors plus other considerations. The bill directs boards to study transportation living and production costs, likely dividing units more by region than by size. Rep Rumspeck helped draft the compromise bill.
