d Million Get
Minimum Pay
Raises Today
By the Associateo Press

More than two million lower
paid workers got a pay increase
today, courtesy of the United
States Government.
The pay hikes came through
a boost in the Federal minimum
wage from rs cents to 81 an
hour. 1t was voted by Congress
last year to become effective to-
day.
An estimated "a million work.
ers are covered by terms Of the
Fair Labor Standards Act-gen-
orally those engaged or whose
work is connected with inter-
state commerce-but only about
81 million have been making
less than the new 81 minimum
13-Cent Average
Although the maximum re-
quired pay boost could be Is
cents an hour. the Labor De-
partment figured the average in
crease would be 13 cents an hour,
or an estimated $500 million a
year. Many of those beneiting
have been making more than
the old 75-cent minimum. which
had been in effect for six years
More than half the increases
were in Southern States, from
Maryland to Texas. This means
Dixie's annual payroll will be
hoisted for more than a million
workers by a sum of more than
$3.50 million.
Some of the industries most
widely affected are numbering,
textiles, candymaking. furniture
and clothing manufacturing.
President Eisenhower had rec
commended that Congress boost
the Q5-cent minimum to go
cents. He said that anything
higher might cause some sudden
unemployment. However, Con-
|gress voted for an even 81.
Aid to Economy Seen
George Meany, AFL-CIO pres
ident, said in a statement the
new minimum would create 9
better standard of living fol
workers affected by it. and woulo
mean new purchasing power
helpful to the entire economy
Mr.. Meany urged another in.
crease this year to SIPS ane
said the minimum should apply
|al1o to farmers. workers in retail
and service trades and others
who now are exempt.
Newell Brown, Wage Hour ad-
ministrator for the Labor De-
partment, said his agency is
stepping up its enforcement staff
and activities to see that the
new law is observed.
His staff has been increased
from 1000 to 1880 persons. About
$50 additional investigators are
being assigned to Southern
areas alone. More than two
dozen new field Offices have beer
opened.

signed to give the farmer a fair
return.
Attack Under Way
The Democrats are beginning
to move in their heavy guns on
attack, with Senator Humphrey
of Minnesota holding the floor
with q 350-page speech indicting
administration farm policies.
With three Democratic associ-
ates feeding" him lines-Kerr
of Oklahoma, Mansfield of Mon
tana and Daniel of Texas-Sen-
ator Humphrey yesterday scored
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
for lobbying" in behalf of low
cred price supports and declared
that "our new select committee
on lobbying should look into
tnls carefully"
He referred to the Secretary's
admitted overtures to cotton
states Senators, which high sup
port advocates fear may weaken
their ranks.
Report Attacks Program
Meanwhile, Democratic mem
bers of a Senate-HouSe Congress
sional Committee today voiced
alarm about farm conditions and
described President Eisenhower's
farm program as inadequate"
The report came from the
Committee on the Economic Re-

hower's economic report to Con-
