Senate Wage Hour Skirmish Triggers Reopen Talks
Southerners threaten a floor fight over wage differentials in the wage hour bill and push a seven year path to a 40 cent minimum. The conferees, backed by 18 Southern Senators, demand exemptions for regional costs while the panel negotiates to avoid a full filibuster. The plan would start 25 cents now, rising to 30, with industrial boards defining future rates and a 44 hour work week before moving toward 40 hours.
