Coalition Group Crushes Southern Wage-Hour Flex Plan
A bipartisan coalition in the House rejected Representative Ramspeck's alternative to the wage-hour bill, voting 139 to 70 against a plan to permit wage differentials by industry or region. Ramspeck framed his approach as a legal path to regulate sweated labor, proposing a weighted average, an administrative board, and exemptions. The House bill would set a universal wage floor of 25 cents rising to 40 cents in three years, with hours starting at 44 and dropping to 40, while Ramspeck would allow weekly hours from 40 to 48. The Georgian argued the bill mirrored the Senate version but fixed a wage floor and regional representation on the board. The vote moved to amendment stage as leaders proceeded.

Heavier Battles On a Long Front In Spain Civil War
At the Spanish frontier in France the Civil War sees heavy fighting along a 60 mile front from Lerida to Sort. Government militiamen assault Balaguer near Barcelona to push insurgents from a bridgehead to the Segre River. La Repita changed hands eight times as the drive pressed. Insurgent reports admit seriousness but point to high government casualties in fruitless attacks. Government claims say Balaguer bridgehead is slowly being forced back by repeated bombardment.
