Business leaders oppose proposed minimum wage hike
UPI reports United States business leaders on Capitol Hill warn that raising the minimum to 3.00 an hour will spark inflation and cost jobs. Chamber of Commerce official Robert T. Thompson says the plan risks higher unemployment and inflation. Louis Neeb of Steak & Ale cites impact on small restaurants. The package would raise the wage by January 1977 and auto adjust with living costs, with overtime and tip-exemption changes. AFL-CIO argues shorter work weeks could cut unemployment, a point contested by Thompson who predicts layoffs for low productivity workers. Neeb estimates cost increases for small chains would approach 100 percent.

Ford Plan Fails To Win House Tax Cut Fight
The House Ways and Means Committee rejected President Ford's plan to tie a spending ceiling to a tax cut and approved a Democratic alternative to extend current tax rates through 1976. The panel's 21-16 vote split along party lines with all Democrats for the plan and GOP members opposing. The Democratic proposal, led by chairman Al Ullman, would make permanent recent tax increases, and for 1976 offer a two percent credit on the first 12,000 of taxable income with a minimum $30 per dependent, reducing overall tax payments.
