Dixie Senators Meet to Decide on Filibuster
Washington June 9 AP A group of Southern Senators served an ultimatum on wage hour conferees saying they would block any compromise without pay differentials. Seventeen Senators caucused early to oppose a plan pressing for a 40 cent minimum wage in seven years with a 25 cent start. Pepper said he backed the compromise but would move to reconsider to create industry boards now to push toward 40 cents sooner. The panel set tentative limits of 44 hours for overtime first year, then 42 hours second year, and 40 hours third year, with exceptions for employment impact.
