ALL WILL PUSH
BR0UCHT0N BILL
Will Seek to Eliminate Exemp,
lions from Existing Max.
Hour Laws

RALEIGH, Feb. 24-GP-Ameri-
can Federation of Labor officials
disclosed today that they we're
abandoning support of state wage
hour legislation, and would back
instead a Broughton sponsored
measure to eliminate exemptions
from existing maximum-hour laws.
James F. Barrett, organizer of
the A. F. of L., made public an ex-
change of letters between him and
Governor Broughton, in which
Broughton asked support Of the
measure to eliminate exemptions,
and in which Barrett replied that
such support would be given.
The organizer said the aims of
the A. F. of L., still were for some
sort Of state wage-hour law. He
explained, however, that in his
opinion there was no chance of a
wage-hour law being enacted at
this session of the general assem-
bly,.
while the measure to eliminate
exemptions leaves a lot to be de-
sired, it is much better than moth.
ing" said Barrett.
The organizer also made public
e letter to Senator Gregory Of Row.
an, in which the A. F. of L., ask
ed the legislator to withdraw a bill
calling for regulation Of wages and
hours. The letter said in part:
I'VE want you to know that in
asking you to withdraw senate bill
No. 70, which you SO readily spon-
sored for us, our only reason for
SO doing it that we may respond
to a specific request made upon us
by the governor of this state.
1--WE know that you will under
stand Dur motive and purpose ir
asking the withdrawal of your bill
in keeping with u pledge to the
governor to cooperate with him
when he so specifically requested
that cooperation"
The bill by Gregory incorporated
the recommendations of a minor
ity report of a state wage-houl
commission. The minority asked
for a minimum wage of Is cent:
an hour and a maximum work
week Of 48 hours.
The measure which the A. F. o.
L., now will support embrace:
recommendations of the majority
report Of the commission. This
calls for a removal Of many of thu
exemptions in present laws which
limit the working hours of woner
to 48 and of men to IS.
Barrett also sent to Capus M
Waynick of High Point and Labor
Commissioner Forrest H. Shuford
both OF whom signed the minority
report, letters explaining the posi-
ton of the A. F. Of L.
1--WE want you to know that WI
appreciate all that you have done
-" These letters said. "Our con
sent to cooperate with the govern
or in support of the majority repor
in no wise lessons our high regar'
for your splendid work.
1T is simply a question Of &C
operating with the governor whe
specifically requested by him t
do so. I am confident that you wi
understand US in this matter an
realize that a request coming fror
the governor for cooperation in an
given matter is one that cannot b
turned aside lightly by any citize
who loves his state and wants t
be helpful in promoting its inter
ests."
