dicted that when this measure is in

small businesses will be ruined and
the farmers will have to pay more for
what they buy without any aid to
them. Labor itself, he said, was di-

WACE-H0UR BILL
RETAINS OUTLINES
Measure as Passed Differed
at Points, but Was Much
Like Original.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey tne ASSOCIATED fIeSS.
The wage-hour bill passed bv the
Senate yesterday differed at several
points from the form in which orig
inally introduced, but retained tie
broad outlines of the original rro-
posal.
The bill originally would nave given
an administrative board power to
vary upward or downward wage and
hour standard set by the bill for in
dustries in interstate commerce.
1t also would have permitted fixing
Of fair minimum wages and fair
maximum work week. higher than the
''non-oppressive" level in industries
where the board found collective bar
gaining to be inadequate"
AS it passed the Senate, the bill con-
tanned no power for the board to fix
fair" wage e-hour standard. 1t also
put top of 40 cents an hour on the
'non-oppressive" wage which the
board could establish and a floor of
40 hours on the work week 1t could
impose.
The original bill dealt with child
labor by simply prohibiting trans
portation of child labor goods in in
terstate commerce
The Senate substituted the Wheeler
johnson child labor bill which would
combine the fiat prohibition with a
provision restraining employers Of
child labor from shipping goods into
State in violation of that States
laws.
In the bill as introduced, "oppres-
Eve" labor practices such as labor es-
pionage and Strikebreaking were pro-
hibited
These sections were deleted by the
Senate Labor Committee.

orally speaking. they all opposed the
bill and sought its recommittal. which
would have meant its death for the
present session at least. Other Sena-
tors. particularly those from Rev
England, were inclined to vote for
the measure in the belief that in the
end it would benefit the mills of that
section.
The bill, which sets up a Labor
Standards Board of five to administer
the act, would give that board the
power to Ak minimum wages and
maximum hours of labor for workers
employed in industries whose products
go into interstate commerce It also
would outlaw child labor. The board
could not fix a minimum wage higher
than 40 cents an hour or a maximum
week shorter than 40 hours.
House Bill Provision.
The House Labor Committee has
drafted bill which would permit
the labor board to fix minimum
wages as high as 10 cents an hour and
a maximum work week as short at
35 hours.
Sixteen years is the limit set for
workers in the child labor prohibi-
ton for interstate commerce. The
johnson amendment not only main
tains this limitation, but it also pro-
hibits goods made by labor under
that age from going into interstate
commerce. 1t prohibits, too, the ship
ment OF such goods into States which
have laws against child labor, and
provides for the labelling Of goods
made by child labor.
