COMPROMISE WAGE BILL TO BE VOTED
Senate, House Conferees Expect Approval of
 Measure

Washington, June II. OUP)-Sen- ate and house conferees will vote today on a compromise wages and hours bill which incorporates south ern demands for flexible labor standards legislation.
 Approval, bringing to an end a long, bitter dispute over sectional wage differentials, was assured. Ten tative approval was given late yes- terday, but southern members de- layed formal acceptance until they had studied the provisions for pos sible loopholes.
 Chairman Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah, of the senate group, sum- moned the conferees to meet at 9:3O a. m., est. He and Chairman Mary T. Norton, D., N. J., of the house group, hoped to complete a report in time for congressional action Monday.
 As written, the compromise bill would:
 l. Create a board for each indus try to recommend wage and hour standards. Board action would be subject to the veto of an admins trator in the labor department.
 2. Empower the boards to fix wages between an absolute floor of 25 cents per hour and goal of 40 cents, and hours between a 44-hour work week the first year; 42 hours the second, and a goal of 40, with exemptions to the maximum to pro- vide for contracts obtained through collective bargaining. The board could recommend any wage between 25 and 40 cents and any Work-Week beWeen A and 40 immediately after they become operative, but the statutory minimums must be ob- served.
 3. Provide that labor standards be fixed upon the basis of classified ton of units in each industry, and also upon the basis of local eco homie conditions, comparative iv- ing and transportation costs.
 It was understood that the ad- ministrator must show, during the first seven years of operation of the act, that the industry can afford to increase wages and shorten the work week. After the seven-year period, however, the burden of proof will be upon each industry to show that 40-hour work week and 4O- cents per hour minimum wage would cause unemployment.
 Final approval of the bill will bring to close week of intense debate among conferees.

ATTACHMENTS
 ARE LIFTED
Conference Held Today to Adjust Wage Differences
 at Laube, Inc.

Settlement of a dispute between Laube-Interstate, Inc, local truck ing company, and it's employees was expected to be made at confer- ence late this morning.
 The conference was to be held at the office of Attorney John T. Mo1- zani, counsel for the receiver. In superior court Thursday, filed ap- plication for dissolution of the firm and Attorney Alfred Finkelstein was named receiver.
 Representing the drivers and help- CTS at the conference were Attorney Edward Sweeney, counsel for Al Laube employees, Rudolph Tata, business agent of the Truck Driv- CTS local, an A. F. of L. affiliate, and a representative of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor.
 Attachments placed on several trucks of the firm by employees who claimed that back pay was due them have been lifted, Attorney Sweeney said today.
 The receiver contends that the companys contract with the union is not operative now that the firm is in receivership. It was expected that the men would be asked to return to work at reduced wages.
 Attorney Sweeney said there was no strike at the Laube company, but that the men declined to work be- cause pay was owed them. They took this action as individuals, he asserted,
