Compromise Wage Hour Bill Clears House Then Stalls in Senate
A conference report on the wage hour bill passed the House but stalled in the Senate as Senator Bailey demanded floor time and argued the measure unconstitutional under the commerce clause. The bill would set interstate minimum wages starting at 25 cents, rising to 40 cents in seven years with industry driven exemptions and regional variations. Speaker Bankhead overruled a GOP bid to block final action. Representative Taber criticized the joint draft as overreaching authority. Chairman Norton called for approval, praising it as the best wage hour bill for the underpaid.
