WAGE-HOUR BILL
PASSAGE URGED
Secretary Perkins Says Law
Would Shorten Hours of
100000 Workers.
(Story on Page A-1.J
BY tie Associated Press.

by tEe PSSOClAleG HIesb
Secretary Of Labor Perkins estimat-
ed today that passage Of the revised
wage-hour bill. now pending in the
House, eventually would shorten the
hours OF about 2,500.o00 workers and
increase the wages of more than $780,
600 factory employees.
The Secretary pleaded for solution
Of the wage-hour problem in an ad-
dress to regional conference Of DEM
ocratic women in Chicago. The ad-
dress was broadcast from Washington.
The Secretary said the far-reaching
effect Of the wage-hour legislation
would not be instant. Only q small
percentage Of the 100000 workers
employed in interstate industry. she
said. would be directly and imme-
diately benefited.
She asserted, however, that reports
to the Labor Department indicated
at least 10 per cent Of all wage earners
we're receiving less than 40 cents an
hour and large group. therefore,
would benefit when the measure had
been in force three years.
The wage-hour bill would establish
minimum wage starting at IS cents
an hour and increasing to 40 cents
in three years for workers in inter-
state industry. The measure also
would set up work week beginning
at A hours and decreasing to 40
hours in two years.
Wage and hour legislation" Miss
Perkins said. will protect that great
majority Of employers who are trying
to maintain decent standards, but may
now be at the mercy Of price cut
ting competitors.
