would be necessary to increase men,

Labor unions, fraternal lodges, the
Community Chest and other groups
would feel the tax, Kaiser added, urg-
ing blanket exemption.
The majority OF these intra- agency
associations. it was amplified, were
organized many years ago to minimize

ton that existed prior to their organ

WAGE LAW HOLDS
MINIMUM CONTROL
Draper, Commerce Aide,
Defends Proposal as
Highly Flexible.
UNDUE JURISDICTION
OF BOARD DENIED
National Group Is Warned of
Peril if Installment Sales
Go Too Far.
The new wage and hour legislation

The new wage and hour legislation
pending before Congress contains
a maximum of f1exibility and a mini
mum of restrictive control" and busi-
ness has little to fear from its ad-
ministration, Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce Draper told members of the
American Retail Federation at a ses-
sion Of their conference at the Hay
Adams House last night.
The proposed law, Draper said,
will not require blanket enforce
ment upon all of industry Immediately
upon its passage" The procedure
provides, except in certain situations,
he said, that no change in any in
dustry IS contemplated until the pro-
posed administrative board has held
hearings and sought the advice Of an
Advisory Committee, consisting of rep
resentatives OF employers, employees
and the public.
Denies Undue Powers.
He denied that the proposed Labor
Standards Board has been given
undue jurisdiction in the bill, pointing
out that the same criticism had been
raised against the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Federal Trade
Commission. Tariff Commission, Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
and others OF similar type. Time has
proved, he said, that the power given
these agencies has been exercised with
discretion and that the gains to the
country from their operation has
far outwcighed any losses.
The purpose OF the bill. he pointed
out. IS to wipe out child labor and
sweatshop wages and hours"
IAN but the most hopeless reaction
aries can join in that purpose" the
speaker said. IF enacted, this law
will help industry in that it will make
active consumers for your products
where formerly you did not have 4
chance to sell your goods. And it
will help the country as a whole
in its effort to cure, once and for all,
this disease in Its body polite which
comes from degraded conditions of
industrial poverty"
Warns Of Installment SaIes.
Draper said that installment retail
sales in the United States are increas-
ing more rapidly today than cash and
open credit purchase and issued the
warning that conditions which look
healthy now can become unhealthy
in short time If the advance in in
stallment selling goes too fast and too
far"
Problems confronting retailers in
consumer relations, merchandising
policies and in installment selling
were discussed at the first session of
the two-day conference, which opened
yesterday under the sponsorship OF
the American Retail Federation.
Speakers yesterday included Chan
ming E. Sweitser, managing director
OF the National Retail Dry Goods As
sociation; Daniel Bloomfield. secre-
tary, Massachusetts, Council of Retail
Merchants; Roscoe r. Rau, executive
vice president, National Retail Furni-
ture Association; Col. Clarence O,
