some court tests was essential to
curb scattered violations.
They said only about 1000 COM
plants of violations had been re-
ceived thus far and that cursory in
vestigation of them indicated that
only about rs per cent of this
number represented actual nom

minimum wage of 25 cents an hour
for 100000 workers in interstate
commerce and payment of time and
one-half in cash for all work in
excess of A hours per week.
Wage-hour Administrator Elmer
F. Andrews said that about 10 test
cases would be instituted in var
ious sections of the country, in
cluding New York City. as soon as
necessary investigation is complet
ed.
Officials expressed surprise that
no legal attack has yet been made
on the controverted statute, which
was passed only after an extended
congressional battle in which some
critics contended the measure was
unconstitutional, particularly in re-
latiOn TO the child labor provisions.
Administration officials admit
frankly that to sustain the new
law the supreme court must reverse
its to decision of 1918 holding
federal child labor laws unconstitu-
tional.
Penalties for violation of the law
include fine up to $4,000 on the
first offense, and fines or imprison-
ment up to six months for latter
