Congress stalls on bid to raise federal minimum wage

Senate approves 30 billion for HEW and Labor bill
The Senate approved a 30.5 billion appropriation for Labor and HEW with a provision exempting firms with under three employees from safety inspections. The 73 to 1 vote aligns with a House measure, though a conference committee must reconcile differences. The bill also features minimum wage debates and potential farm policy implications.

Education tuition tax credit gains in Congress
The Ways and Means Committee approved a tax credit plan for parents paying tuition at private primary and secondary schools. Mills doubted a House vote, yet cross party interest grows as Catholic families would be major beneficiaries and leaders consider attaching the measure to other bills this session. Presidents Nixon and McGovern have endorsed a strategic push.

Tuition tax credit proposal to aid parochial schools
The legislation aims to help parents cover private school costs by allowing a tax deduction of half the tuition paid for children in Brades 1 through 12, up to 200 per child, with debate over credit size and constitutionality. A full 100 percent credit could shift the burden to the government, potentially funding full tuition for some students.
