Maintenance of Workers Buying Power Vital In
Fighting ''Recessive Factors in Present Stua-
ton" Chief Executive Says Move Begins To
Force House Vote on Wage-Hour Bill

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) Speedy I
action on legislation aimed at the set
ting of wage and hour standards that
will maintain and increase employ /
ment and workers income was urged
by President Roosevelt in his message
opening the special session Of con
gress.
The message indicated that the pres
ident is fully aware of the business
slump and the necessity of waging |
vigorous fight against further decline.I Il
81 believe that the country as a
whole" the message said, recognizes
the need for immediate congressional
action if we are to maintain wage in 4
come and the purchasing power of the
nation against recessive factors in the
general industrial situation.
"The exploitation of child labor and
the underwriting of wages and the
stretching of the hours of the poorest
paid workers in periods Of business 4
recession has serious effect on buying
power In the interest Of the national
economy such adjustments as must be
made should not be made at the ex-
pense of those least able to bear
them"
Chairman Norton Files Petition
Following the reading Of the mes
sage, Chairman Mary I. Norton, of
the house labor committee, an
nounced steps to force an early vote
on the wage and hour bill that passed
the senate at the last session and was
bottled up by the hostile house rules
committee majority.
She said she had filed a petition to
bring the bill out of the rules COM
mittee. The petition, when signed by
a sufficient number Of representa-
tives, would put the bill before the
house. Otherwise, under parliamen-
tary regulations, the bill will not
come up for action until December 13.
Labor Spokesman Hold Conference
Organized labor had not declared
its stand on passage Of the bill as
congress met, though conferences Of
labor representatives at A. f. of L.
headquarters were under way to con
slider a legislative program
Mrs. Norton said that during the
recess virtually all complaints she
heard over the wage and hour bill
concerned its alleged delegation Of too
much power to five man board. This
same complaint was voiced at the re
cent A. F. of Il. Denver convention.
In his message, President Roosevelt
called for special consideration of the
| problem of Tightening tax burdens on
small business men and for removal
of unjust provisions in the revenue

might create new injustices.
