Roosevelt Edges Toward Reemployment Pact for Employers
The president seeks a voluntary reemployment agreement to be signed by employers by year end or under a code. It bans child labor under 16 in manufacturing and sets wage floors for clerical and similar workers by city size. It targets profiteering, requires patronage of signatory establishments, and calls for a fair competition code before September 1. The pact covers wage adjustments for fixed price deliveries and ceases upon unspecified conditions.

Minimum wage and hour standards under new code provisions
The text outlines a proposed wage and hour framework setting a 40 hour week for clerical service and sales workers and 52 hour biweekly cap for hours above the limit with no reductions below the set guard, plus an absolute eight hour day maximum for factory workers on a 35 hour work week. It details a 40 cent minimum in certain cases, a baseline of not less than 30 cents as of July 15 1929, and guarantees for price markers. It also restricts wage cuts above the minimum despite hour reductions, calls for equitable pay adjustments, and describes penalties and procedures for noncompliance and temporary stays during hardship investigations.
