BY ELMER F. ANDREWS,


Newly Appointed Administrator of the
Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
America still has all the resources
necessary to regain prosperity and
obtain a measure of economic security
for all its people. More generally
than ever before. it is agreed that
we must husband our resources. our
land, our minerals, our equipment,
our people. Some sort of economic
balance that will bring about healthy,
not feverish, prosperity must BE-
achieved.
In my view, the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act, more generally known as the
wage and hour law, is the keystone
in the arch of all this legislation.
Perhaps because have been an ad-
ministrator of State labor laws, it
has seemed to me that this law
and I said this many months ago
when it was still being discussed as
a bill-is Of the greatest Importance
because it will assist industry in pay
ing wage earners at least enough
wages to live on.
Will Spur Buying Power.
II such wages can be paid, purchas-
ing power will be increased and main
tanned; employment in the production
of goods for which there will be
greater and more stable market will
be increased and stabilized.
1t is preventive rather than cura-
tive legislation. It will help keep
the country well economically.
The fair employer who wants to
pay his employees at least enough to
live on will. under this law, be assisted
and protected in that endeavor.
Through the provisions of the law
and the establishment of industry
committees on which he will have
equal representation with labor and
the public, he will participate in set
ting the standards for minimum wages
In his industry.
Face Grave Problems.
On this Labor Day, labor, employers
and all OF us face many grave prob
lens. Their solution is difficult. We
have made beginning all along the
line. In the short time since I was
appointed administrator of the Fair
Labor Standards Act I have been sur
prised and greatly encouraged by the
attitude of friendliness and intent
to cooperate shown by employers
and labor.
This demonstrated willingness to
do things together, as have observed
it, is the most hopeful sign to which
! can point today.
