United States from attack.
In what is regarded the most revolutionary forward

Europe and return carrying heavy cargo of bombs.
The bomber International News Service learned today

the measure.
With proponents determined to
reach q final vote on the bill by
night, the Southerners centered
their rapidly dimming hopes on
an amendment which would allow
tn Secretary Of Labor to set aside
the proposed wage standards
where finding Of fact showed diff
ferentials justified.
HOPE Is SLIGHT
Although they numbered in
their ranks the two top Admins.
tration men in the House, Speaker
Bankhead and Majority Leader
Rayburn, the members from the
South, frankly viewed the amend.
ment'S chances slim. A united
wage-hour bloc, predominant in
numbers. served notice it would
resist all efforts to alter the rigid
standards of the bill.
AS slated for passage, the meas.
ure would declare Is cents an
hour the legal minimum and A
hours the maximum work week,
with provision for wages to be
stepped UP to 40 cents in three
years and hours to be reduced To
40 in a two-year period.
Only purely interstate industry
and agriculture would be ex.
empted. Administration would be
vested in the Secretary of Labor
and enforcement in the Depart
ment Of Justice.
Representative Mary T. Norton
CD Of New Jersey, author of the
bill and chairman Of the House
Labor Committee, predicted the
bill would pass by margin of
at least 40 votes. She declared
the chamber would be kept in
session until a final vote was
reached.
With bitter sectional feeling
marking the opening day of de-
bate yesterday, Southern members
saw it clearly demonstrated that
they were badly outnumbered
when the House voted 1922 to 70
to free the bill from a recalcitrant
rules committee and bring it to
the floor for action.

mended against any reduction in

lection be extended needy widows

THOSE INCLUDED
The councils recommendations,
relayed to Chairman Arthur j.

bring under the old-age insurance
provisions of the law servants,

ables together with the employees

1T is the concenSuS Of this
council that no reduction Of the

be made at this time" Brown
wrote.
SCALE NECESSARY
The graduated scale, starting
at cent on the dollar for en-
ploye and employer and lifting in

to handle the program now. Once
