Wage and Hour Bill Faces Prolonged Senate Clash
Washington June 1 A protracted battle over wage and hour provisions delays Congress adjournment past the planned date. Senators Ish (D Massachusetts) and Idaho's Borah forecast the bill will be in conference for about two weeks amid sharp House Senate disagreements. Walsh warned that negotiations will trade debate for time, predicting Congress may adjourn in July. Conferees likely rewrite the measure as differences over 40 cent and 44 cent hourly minima and a 40 hour week persist.
