ously concerned over the Presi-
dents recommendation.
In his message last year, the
President recommended that the
Federal minimum be increased,
but suggested only that Con-
gress study the problems of ex-
tended coverage. Both the Sen
ate and the House. through their
respective Labor Committees,
gave full consideration to this
subject. AS a result of extensive
hearings, the Congress saw fit to
act only on increasing the mini
mum wage and not to extend
coverage." said Mr.. Talbot, who
also is senior vice president of
Woodward & Lothrop here.
THE Presidents current rec
ommendation, coupled with the
pledged support of his executive
department. is practically a
mandate to Congress-" said Mr..
Talbot. Neither this year or
last did the President mention
any specific area where he be-
lieves extended coverage is
feasible or desirable. The Secre-
tary of Labor, however, has
strongly stressed that the re-
tail and service trades are one
of the largest employment seq
ments to which wage and hour
requirements should be extend
ed.
The National Retail Dry
Goods Association is now and
consistently has been opposed
to the extension of such Federal
controls to localized businesses
such as retail stores and service
establishment which are now
specifically exempted by Con-
gress," he added.
THE NRDGA will further
alert our members to oppose eff
forts to place retailing in whole
or part under the wage and hour
provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, and to insist
upon the preservation of the re-
tail exemption provided by Con-
gress since the inception of this
legislation in 1887. The issue is
still one of State prerogative as
opposed to Federal pre-
emption."
