wAGE-H0UR LAW ADMINISTRATIONS

With wages and hours the most universally ols- c,ssad tonic in the United States today the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, commonly known as the Wage-Hour Law, gradually becomes effective tnroughout the nation the matter of its admins tration becomes of first importance. The previous announcement by Elmer P. Andrews, Admnsuator o the act that he was not ready to enforce it on its effective date october 24 had led to great deal oi specuation Thus little information on adminis- tration should be timely. Frederick R. Barkley, who has been newshawkirg around the wage-hour law offices in Washington makes this interesting report to the New York Times on administration of the act which has not progressed very far:
 To administer this complex and delicate instrumentality for raising wages and cutting hours, MT Andrews has announced that he eX- poets to recruit staff of about 1000 persons, all but the topmost of whom will be under v civil service These will be in addition to new e workers required by the Children's Bureau of the Labor Department which will handle the child-abor section of the act
 To aid him MT Analews is directed to ap- point committees for each industry made up equally of public, employer and employee members for the purpose of proposing the highest minimum wage rates for the industry which it determines, having due regard to eco- homie and competitive conditions will not substantially curtau employment in the in- dustry' The committee recommendations, It is expected, will include mnlma above the legal floor for different types of work in each industry, but must not give competitive ad- vantage to any group in the industry.
 A wage order can be made by the Admins traor cnly after a committee makes its recommendations and it may not depart "subsantialiya from such proposals How ever if dissatisfied with the committees re- port he may refer the problem back to this or committee.
 Before the administrator issues an order there are to be public hearings on the com- mttees recommendations A wage order, once issued stands until a higher floor be- effective under the law, unless in the meantime the industry committee (which must reconvene periodically recommends changes.
 Appeals from wage orders and complaints of violation of the law be made only to the Federal courts Three ways lie open:
 CD Employees may bring suit themselves through agents to recover unpaid mini mum wages or unpaid overtime compensation, whereupon employers found in violation of the law liable for unpaid sums plus equal amount as damages court costs and reasonable attorneys fees.
 @ Persons aggrieved in a wage order, including employers workers may obtain a review of the order in United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, which has power to af- firm, modify set aside the order. The courts power of review is limited to questions
