SPECIAL RULE
ASKED TO SPEED
WAGE-HOUR BILL.
Rep. Norton Peads
For Her Measure
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

G.N.S) The battle for q House
vote on wage-hours legislation de.
manded by the Administration
moved toward a climax today as
Chairman Mary T. Norton CD Of
New Jersey, Of the Labor Com.
mittee, urged an antagonistic
Rules Committee to expedite
action.
Questions by members revealed
bitter opposition to the measure.
Chairman O'Connor CD Of New
York, Of the Rules Committee,
announced a vote will be taken to-
morrow.
Mrs. Norton proposed adoption
Of a special rule whcih would give
the bill right-of-way on the House
floor. Otherwise, the bill will be
Shelved unless forced to q vote
by petition of 218 members.
HEARING PACKED
Urging passage of the bill pro-
viding minimum wages ranging
frcm Is cents Immediately to 40
cents four years from now and
minimum hours starting at A per
week and dropping to 40 in three
years, Chairman Norton said:
There has been an alarming
decline in business activity
which brings inevitable wage de-
clines.
1.-THE vicious downward spiral
must be halted"
The committee room was packed
by members Of Congress as Mrs.
Norton made her plea.
She explained the action Of the
Rules Committee in throwing over
board the wage-hours bill which
the House recommitted to her
committee five months ago. The
new bill, she explained, is designed
only to put a floor on wages and
a ceiling on hours. Higher wage
groups, she said, would not be
affected.
Under the bill, she explained,
the Secretary Of Labor determines
whether q particular employer or
industry is engaged in interstate
commerce or a business affecting
interstate comemrCe. The business
or industry then would be subject
to the minimum wage and maxi
mum work week standards Of the
bill.
VALIDITY BACKED
Mrs. Norton, answering conten-
tons that Congress cannot consti-
tutionally fix definite wage and
hours, said that good lawyers say
there is q fair chance the law
would be upheld by the Supreme
Court"
at should only be necessary
to show that the minimum wage
rates are necessary to provide
. decent cost of living In the
lowest wage areas" she said.
Citing a WPA report, she said
that cost of living for a family Of
four in SO cities was found to be
$1,260 a year.
Mrs. Norton suggested a special
rule allowing but four hours of de-
bate before amendments are con.
sidered on the House floor.
I'VE have debated this bill
before and we don't need much
time" she said.
Mrs. Norton explained the
highest wage imposed by the bill
is $500 a year If a man works So
weeks a year.
wide OPEN RULE"
Chairman O'Connor interrupted
to say that, if a rule is granted,
it would be a wide open rule"
permitting latitude in amend
mentS.
He apparently sought to assure
Southern members that they could
advocate a flexible bill on the
House floor which would permit
differentials in wages. Mrs. Nor
ton said that she had sought such
a bill but failed.
