Senate House wage conferees clash over minimum plan
Senate and House conferees held a fourth meeting on the minimum wage bill as Sen. John F. Kennedy discussed a compromise proposal from Sen. Winston L. Prouty. Prouty’s plan would bring about 3.1 million more workers under the act, versus four million in the Senate version and 1.4 million in the House bill. The two measures differ on the minimum wage, with the Senate proposing 1.25 across three steps and the House at 1.15. Most conferees see little chance of agreement. Kennedy reportedly eyed taking the issue to the country. The Senate also sent a major Social Security bill to Eisenhower, including a limited medical program for needy persons over 65, approved 74 to 11 after a long weekend of debate.
