Cent Wage Floor Passes Test in Senate Panel
Washington The Senate Labor Committee yesterday unanimously approved a bill to raise the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour. Senator Pepper said the measure would lift about 1,250,000 workers in interstate commerce currently earning less than 78 cents. The panel narrowed coverage to 100,000 additional nonfarm workers while leaving farm exemptions intact. House action favors a 71 cent rate with broader reach.
