Borah Frames Wage Hour Bill as Experimental Plan
Senator Borah described the new wage hour program as an experiment that could lead to broader standards. He forecast a 1939 Congress to revise the law toward a 40 cent minimum, with initial 25 cent and 30 cent steps and exemptions that may affect ultimate goals. Boards would oversee 40 cent adoption in interstate industries and issue industry exceptions. The wage hour administrator would apply legal definitions to hour and wage exemptions.
