BERRY TO OFFER
new WORK-PAY
BILL TO SENATE
4O-Hour Week, 80 to IS
Cent Minimum Planned

uNS.). A Federal statute, fix
ing "a maximum workweek OF 40
hours and a minimum wage OF
either 30 or IS cents an hour, was
being prepared today as q subSti-
tute for the pending Black Con-
merry bill. e..
It will be introduced in the Sen
ate at the special session by Sen
ator. Berry Cd of Tennessee,
president Of the Pressmen's Union
and recognized as labor's spokes-
man in the Senate.
LAMNECK SUBSTITUTE
Berry will submit the measure
to the Senate Notwithstanding that,
body passed the Black Connery bill
at its last session. A revolt OF
Southern and Republican members
Of the House Rules Committee pre-
vented the House from voting on
the proposal last August.
Meanwhile, a group Of House
members. headed by Representa-
tive Lamneck Cd, of Ohio, were
putting the finishing touches on
another substitute wage-hour bill.
Their measure would enforce fair
hours and minimum wages
through the fair trade practices
section Of the Federal trade act,
which is enforced by the Federal
Trade Commission.
OTHER PLAN DISCRETIONARY
Berry'S proposed legislation
would impose a flat maximum
work week and minimum wages
for all industries throughout the
country and would be enforced
by the Department Of Justice.
The Black Connery bill would
give q Federal board authority to
establish wages as high as 40
cents an hour and work week
as short as 40 hours-to make
such DEGREES for various sections
ct its discretion and not by any
fixed law.
The American Federation Of
Labor and the Committee for In.
dustrial Organization opposed the
Black Connery bill at their re-
cent conventions. This diSsatis-
faction crystallized today in the
announcement Of Berry's pro-
posal. He discussed his bill with
leaders Of both organizations this
week.
4O-H0UR WEEK TENTATIVE
Berry said the flat 4O-hour week
requirement was tentative and
might be reduced. He personally
favors a minimum wage Of 80
cents an hour.
mo one can object to mini
mum wage of 80 cents an hour,
or a 40-hour week." he said.
'But if they do and violate the
law, the Justice Department
would take the necessary steps
to stop the violations. 1 believe
the 30-cent minimum wage will
automatically eliminate the the
ory of a differential between
the north and the south"
SEEKS ADDITIONAL JOBS
He said the chief purpose Of his
substitute is Ito keep business in
business" to provide more employ
ment and to prevent the exploita-
ton Of workers.
Berry, formerly president Of
Iabor's Non-Partisan League,
which was organized to throw
labor'S support to President Roose-
vent in 1885, would not give Mr..
Roosevelt'S position on his pro-
posed bill.

GOOD SALESMAN

In Johnny" Lloyd, Uncle Sam
has a good salesman. He has q
hand in preparing and writes
the scripts for the Government
program Education in the
News" on N.B.C. Friday evenings
at 6 o'clock.
Government service" he de-
clares, must be sold tc the
American people. This is the
job of every Government en-
ploye. We must all feel the re-
sponsihility Of trying to cancel
in the minds of many people
the Misrepresentation that all
Government workers are loaf
ers or that they are political ap-
pointees, being paid high sal
aries to do jobs that are un-
necessary and cause high taxes.

think we should make tho fact

John H. Lloyd Finds
Cooperation Key
To u. S. Service

Uncl9 Sam has at least one
young nephew who does not look
upon his Government stint as
just a job. To John H. Lloyd in
the Office of Education this bust
ness of being a small cog in the
wheel of a great nation Is an i'm
portant mission.
This blond young man talks
things over with a smile, as If
selfconsciouS of his ideals. But
there is food for thought in his
words:
COOPERATIVE TASK
81 believe Government service
Is a cooperative task, and that
unless all Government employees
and all departments make a
sound effort to cooperate as
unit in serving the American
people, there will be a resulting
waste of time, labor and money.
$50 often Government workers
and agencies become self-cen-
tered, and close their eyes to
what their fellow workers and
departments are endeavoring to
accomplish. We must realize
that we are all part of a whole,
and the more efficiently and CO
operatively e1ch performs his
duty the better Government
serviC will be and the more
citizens throughout the country
will respect it."

FESS A >REATIST AND
ALMOST A FATALIST
(By Morris D. Erwin, in Cincinnati
Times Starr

(By Morris D. Erwin, in Cincinnati
Times Starr
The sudden death of former Sena-
tor Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, has
served to recall to Washington the
fact that the college professor in
government is not a New Deal inno-
walton. Before entering public life,
first as a member of the Ohio con-
stitutional convention in 1912, and
then as a member of congress, Sen
ator Fess' whole life had been spent
on the college campus, as student,
professor and college president. His
entire background was that of the
scholar and remained SO during his
more than twenty years as a legis-
lator. Even after he became mem
Der of the senate his colleagues in
variably addressed him as doctor, /"
even as today some of the members
of the Brain Trust are addressed by
their academic titles rather than
their official ones.
In recent years DR.. Fess' opposi-
ton to the schemes of the New Deal
caused him to be classed with the
''reactionaries But in his day he
advocated and fought for schemes
that at the time were considered just
as liberal as any that the New Deal
professors are now advocating. He
was staunch exponent Of suffrage
for women. He fought for legisla-
tion to put stop to child labor. He
was one of the earliest advocates Of
workmen's compensation and insur-
ance and the eight-hour day. He
had considerable to do with the es-
tablishment of vocational training
for veterans and the present budget
system.
But with all his scholarly back
ground and his advocacy of liberal
policies-though in recent years his
political opponents never would ad-
nit that he had ever been a liberal
Senator Fess was political real
ist. He knew that chance played a
considerable part in the rise of and
fall of political parties. To his dy-
