Senate weighs wage hour bill as recommittal fails
Washington UP forces defeated an effort to kill the wages and hours bill by sending it back to senate committee. The test vote signaled passage soon with 48 10 36.Sen. Tom Connally moved to recommit the bill to labor and education committee, which would kill it for this session. The senate then substituted the Wheeler Johnson child labor bill for provisions of the administration measure, 56 to 29. The Wheeler Johnson bill would ban interstate shipments of goods made by children under 16 and, in some cases, under 18, and require labeling. the original bill barred interstate shipment only. The National Grange joined some labor groups in seeking recommittal over broad board powers to fix minimum wages and hours. Despite opposition, administration leaders expected enough votes to pass. The chamber rejected several minor amendments, including McCarran and Ledze attempts to bar foreign goods from low standard labor. Connally moved to recommit amid heated debate. the vote on recommittal would come after other amendments. Continued on Pace 4. Column 1
