Labor Chief Seeks Equal Pay for Women in Law Change
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach urged the Senate Labor Committee to back an equal pay bill. It would bar paying women less than men for comparable work and prohibit replacing a woman with a man except to protect rights or veterans. He called the measure essential for fairness and wage standards. Miss Freda S. Miller cited a study showing men earning more in 26 of 27 job classifications, with gaps from four to 26 cents per hour.
