Senate Rejects Scaled-Down Minimum Pay Plan
Washington reports the Senate rejected a scaled-down Republican substitute to the Labor and Public Welfare Committee wage bill. The panel's plan would raise the basic minimum wage to $2.20 within 14 months, with farm workers rising to $2.20 over three years. Critics warned of inflation and job losses, while supporters argued inflation has eroded pay. A parallel House bill awaits action.
