Wages and Hours
4 Football Game

WASHINGTON - The wage
hour bill issue, more obviously
than ever. has become sectional
political football in a queer game
where individual players keep
popping from one side to the 9TH
er, explaining that they don't like
the size or shape of the ball
Chairman Mary Norton of the
House Labor Committee went tc
the White House the other day and
thereafter informed her commit
tee that President Roosevelt insist
ed he must" have some kind of q
wage-hour bill.
Thereupon the committee APP
proved bill which would set
minimum wage of 25 cents ar
hour Cexempting agricultural Ia
bor) and a maximum work week
of A hours, the minimum wage tc
be increased to 40 cents within
three years and the maximum
hours to be cut to 40 within two
years.
Thus was achieved a measure
which won the support of Presi-
dent Bill Green of the A.F. of l..
and even that of numerous north
ern Republicans who previously
had opposed other wage hour pro
posalS
Original proposals of the ad-
ministration had left ample room
for wage differentials between
northern and southern areas. The
so-called Norton bill establishes a
flat minimum wage for north and
south alike.
President Green and the A.F''
of L. leaders previously had op-
posed any differentials and it had
been supposed that this was be-
cause they desired no minimum
wage legislation at all, since any
proposal for a national minimum
was sure to meet solid southern
opposition. But the new bill also
meets AT. of L. demands for en-
forcement of its provisions by the
Department of Justice and since
the measure was written to meet
AT. of l.. specifications. Green
could hardly object to it even If
he SO desired.
Northern Republicans have be-
gun to line up behind the Norton
bill because it eliminates the
north-south wage differential
They believe it's good election
campaign material, in view of the
southwark migration of 1Uctories
to take advantage of cheaper labor,
and that it will help them attract
labor support which has been veer-
ing toward Democratic members.
Conversely. the Norton bill is
anathema to southern Democrats
in Congress who insist there must
be room for differentials if there
is to be a. wage hour law. But it
was the opposition of the vast bulk
oe southern Democratic congress
men which last December killed a
bill which carried provisions for
discretionary exceptions
The bill passed by the Senate
last year calls for a five-man
board on which the south would
be represented and which would
be empowered to set differentials
Hence, southern members are like
ly to prefer the Senate version.
The Norton bill would give SUI
pervision to the Department of La
Dor, empowering it to impose the
acts provisions on industries it
found to be in interstate commerce
and directing it to investigate and
report violations to the Justice
Department for prosecution.
Administration and CLIO. forces
will battle on the House floor fol
an initial 30-cent minimum and
.Sor prosecution through some
other instrument than the Justice
Department on the ground thai
southern u. S. district attorneys
can't be depended on to enforce
such law.

cert by four artists from Mime
apolis. Mrs. Edgar F. Zelle open
ed the program with two violin
solos, ssAir for the C. String" by

! Kriesler. Enthusiastically re-
called for an encore, she played
the beautiful "Andante from Or
go" by Gluck.
Mrs. Franz then gave two more
humorous readings, "a Wild Ride
on Satan" and a Baseball Story
! AS an extra she gave poem

ing request number she sang "The

ghout.
