JOINT GROUP DECIDES FOR

Twenty-Five Cents Will Be Lowest Pay with

PLAN TO BE COMPLETE IN SEVEN YEARS TIME
Gradual Increase in Wages to Be Job for Sev-
 eral Boards

WASHINGTON, June 8.-A joint Congressional committee today com- promised on wage and hour legisla- ton.
 The committee agreed to the im- position of universal wage of 40 cents an hour in all interstate indus tries by the end of seven years, ex- cept where such a wage will cause unemployment.
 The compromise was adopted with the approval of 12 of the IA con- ferees. It was approved that mini mum wage should be 25 cents an hour with no exceptions this first year, and 30 cents an hour the fol- lowing year.
 After the advance to 30 cents an hour, boards appointed by Gen. tral Administrator will be en- powered to examine conditions in individual industries.
 The boards will be made up of representatives of employers, en- ployees, and the public. and will be charged with the duty of increas- ing the minimum to at least 40 cents an hour, as rapidly as pos sible.
 At the end of seven years, all wages in interstate industry will go to the 40 cents an hour level, ex- cept where the boards find such ac- ton will substantially curtail em- ployment in the industry.

But last spring, in it's hasty eff forts to legislate ap embargo against arms shipments to Spain, Congress enacted a neutrality measure pro- viding that in event of a serious civil war in some foreign country, the United States would refuse to ship arms there. Much discretion is allowed the President to determine whether the civil war is dangerous to the peace and security of the United States. He is obligated to impose the embargo only if the shipment of arms threatens to in- volve the United States in the fray or to endanger it's peace and secur- ity.
 But if the civil war gets bad he has to stop shipments of arms to both sides, rebels or government. And that, so authorities on for

Relief Crisis; What 1t Means;

By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 8. The Federal Government is spending $250,0O0,000 a month to create jobs for the unemployed

 And yet, in the pinch of the latest depression in the Middle West Chi cago marchers are yelling for food. Women riot for relief money Jn Cleveland.
 What has happened? Isn't the government spending enough? Why should reliefers find their checks cut down or shut off?
 It all traces back to the fact that each unit of government in the na- tion-Federal, state, county and city-has built it's own relief ma chine to help take care of the un- employed Like Topsy, these ma chimes just growed" Nobody cut out master pattern so they all would fit together No one unit of government spends money for re- lief in direct ratio to any other unit.

Dictators Are Out

Under our state-federal system of government, no other operation has yet been found agreeable If all the relief machines were hooked up to pull together. one single directing head would have to throw all the switches. That would add up to a relief dictator, and the American public doesn't like dictators
 So, we have many different pieces of relief machinery. The most flexible of them ale is the Federal machinery, operating, for the most part, through the Works Progress Administration (WP Al. It should be flexible. The whole machine is directed from Wash ington, and operates in nearly every one of the 3100 counties in the Unit ed States. Its flexibility, so far, has been limited only by the amount of money Congress appropriates for work relief
