For Work Week

equal force on small and large in
terstate business. Payment OF wages
greatly in excess of the 25 cents
an hour minima-even So or more
an hour-doeS not exempt the en-
ploye from payment Of time and
one half overtime for work above
that standard
But there have been some indi-
cations that the wage-hour division
will be chiefly concerned with So
called "Sweated labor" and that
division inspectors may not seek
opportunities to enforce time and
one half overtime benefits for
workers in upper wage brackets.
Congress skipped agriculture in
imposing wage and hour provisions.
Farm labor is the largest exempted
class.
Other major wholly exempted
groups include Seamen. the fish
ing industry. and airline, street
car, motorbus and interrurban rail-
way employees; executives, admins
traitors. professional persons and
persons employed in local retailing
or as outside statesmen; persons
employed in retail or service estab-
lishments largely engaged in intra-
state commerce; and persons en-
ployed in the area of production
to handle or prepare farm products.
Child labor provisions are expect
ed to affect approximately $4,000
young persons. Some 10000 adults,
largely in the south, will obtain
hourly wage rate increases and
some 100000 persons will obtain
a shorter work week. in conformity
with the act, it was said here.
The nearest previous federal ap-
proach to this wage-hour regula-
ton was under the national indus
trial recovery act which sponsored
negotiation and agreement on hours
and wages as we'll as trade prac-
fices. NRA was invalidated by the
supreme court. The administration
is making a new advance toward
similar objectives. But New Deal
strategy now is to deal individual
ly with various labor and industrial
problems instead of attempting
blanket solution as in the case of
NRA.
Persons familiar with the wage
hour act already are complaining
that it was hatily and unsatisfac-
torily drafted. Officials complain
that it was hastily and unsatisfac-
and lacks adequate funds. National
experience with it from now until
January when congress meets un-
doubtedly will underwrite a move
ment for amendment.
Meanwhile governors of seven
states today pledged cooperation
TO Administrator Andrews in en-
forcing the Fair Labor Standards
act.
-Four of the governors represented
southern states - Alabama. Texas.
Mississippi and Louisiana-and the
others were Iowa, Utah and Nevada
in the west. Gov. Bibb Graves of
Alabama announced he had au-
thorized his state labor department
to employ additional inspectors to
aid in enforcement work.
Andrews anticipated additional
offers Of cooperation from COVER
nors of the other states. He ad-
dressed to all state executives an
appeal for cooperation and asked
them to send representatives to
a state labor law conference here
