ascent Minimum in Mills.
Mr.. Andrews-Well, that's the sit
uation with . great many families
today. The Fair Labor Standards
Act, which becomes effective on Oc-
tober "a, Is Congress effort to change
that, for that law will require that
mill and every other competing mill
Immediately to pay its workers not
less than rs cents m hour. and will
prevent the mills from working en-
ployes for more than ~ hours with
out paying them overtime ut the rate
Of time and one-half.
Interviewer-That's $l1 Z week, an
increase over the old wage, with four
more hours, Of leisure. Suppose the
mill wants q man to work 4S hours
during . week. Could the mill man
agement have him do 50 and pay him
$3.50 additional for those extra four
hours?
Mr.. Andrews-Yes, that's right.
But not only does our employe beneiit
by this higher wage. The mill that
employs him also receives a substan-
tial beneft. After October "a the
mill can know definitely that no COM
petitor In the industry can undercut
| it solely because that competitor un-
derpays and overworks employees. Our
mill will know that no competitor can
pay less than Is cents an hour or
work its men longer than ~ hours q
week without paying overtime.
Interviewer-FIow does that benefit
the employer?
Mr.. Andrews-Well. he can now
take steps to improve the working
conditions Of his employees which he
had wanted to take for a number Of
years, but which he has not done

on substandard wages and harmful
working conditions. He can also ex-
pect better business conditions as these
workers, who are consumers, receive
more money to spend.
Interviewer-Mr. Andrews, what
happens If . mill refuses to put in on
October ~ the pay scale and work
week provided under the act?
Law Has Teeth.
Mr.. AndrewS-There are several e.
fective means Of enforcing this law
and securing its full benefits provided
by Congress. The Government, Of
course. may bring criminal prosecu-
tions through the Department Of JUS
tice, and employers convicted Of vio-
lations are subject to fine or impris-
onment The administrator can also
bring suit to enjoin any employer from
violating the provisions of the law.
However, perhaps more important to
the individual worker, is the special
machinery set up to protect him. Will
you explain that. Mr.. Magruder?

working in retail trade, where the
trade u largely within . State. Other
persons exempt are those employed
in any retail or service establishment,
the greater part Of whose selling OF
servicing is in intrastate commerce
Persons employed in fishing and the
fishing industry, and those who han
die agricultural, horticultural or dairy
products In the area Of production are
likewise exempt.
Interviewer-Well, Mr.. Magruder,
does that mean, then, that except for
the exemptions you've cited, every one
engaged In interstate commerce and
in making goods for interstate COM
merce Is affected by the law?
Mr.. Magruder-That's right. How
ever, there are special provisions
affecting - learners, apprentices and
handicapped workers. For these per-
sons the law permits the administra-
tor to issue individual certificates
which authorize the employment OF
such persons at wage lower than
that set in the act The lower wage
is allowed, however, only If without
the lower wage these handicapped
persons would lose opportunities for
employment. =
Interviewer-Then, y an employer
believes he Is faced with the choice
Of continuing to employ one Of these
persons at wAge lower than that
set in the act or discharging that per-
son, what should he do?
Mr.. Magruder-He should apply
to the administrator for permission
to hire them Ut the lower wage.
1nterviewer-Thank, you, Mr.. Ma
gruder. Now, Mr.. Andrews, let's get
back to our example, the cotton OF
paper mill. Just how does this law
make itself felt there?
Low Wage Competition Factor.
Mr.. Andrews-Many Of the plants
and businesses which once maintained
a high standard Of working condi-
tions in recent years have been SUBJ
jected to ruinous competition from
less scrupulous employers who have
paid wages 80 low that it may fairly
be said that they were selling the
sweat Of their employees along with
their product. think Miss Beatrice
Mcconnell, director Of the industrial
division of the Childrens Bureau,
will back me up in that statement.
know the Children,s Bureau has al
ways been concerned about low wages
in connection with child labor.
Miss McConnell-I have indeed, and
as a matter Of fact I have here, very
appropriately, a notice which has
been posted oh the bulletin board of
q certain cotton mill. It says:
Notice! Here is the bad news you
have been hearing so much of lately
a reduction in wages. We kept it off
as long as we could, but under present
conditions We see no way out for
us but to follow the other mills. This
reduction will take effect one week
from today"
Mr.. Andrews-That is q perfect
example of what the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act is designed to prevent.

concerning that mill, but it is q good
