Compromise Sets Base Pay At $46 For Privates And Seamen
A Senate House conference committee agreed to a $46 monthly base pay for back privates and apprentice seamen, with first class rates at $52. The plan, effective June 1, faces further Senate fights as lawmakers debate higher rates than the House. Senator Johnson expects approval, while Senator LaFollette vows to oppose. If defeated, the bill could return to conference to match the $50 House stance. The measure had previously set $43 minimum and $50 maximum.
