mands will reduce industry's ability

| for the National Association of
Manufacturers.
Mr.. Robey maintained that a
serious economic situation" will de-
lvelop If portal demands now in ex-
cess of So ,000, 900 600, are upheld.

lead in filing suits against various
firms, claiming payment under the
Wage Act for time assertedly

Mr.. Robey told Mr.. Nathan-and
Mr.. Nathan agreed-that If the
claims are granted they would
knock Mr.. Nathans figures into q
cooked hat" respecting industry's
ability to raise wages.
