Federal wage and hour chief urges strict enforcement
Detroit December 30 Elmer F Andrews federal wage and hours administrator warned that many employers now complying may fail to cooperate if rivals evade the act without penalties. He cited a Department of Labor report showing employment up in 31 states and payrolls rising in 17, despite fears of adverse effects. Andrews urged state wage hour laws to cover local employment and warned evasion through splitting interstate activity may occur unless state bills pass. He predicted fair labor standards bills in at least half the state legislatures and called for a large rise in inspection funds.
