Senate Rejects
Floor Of S1.1O
In Wage Bill
Neurs Showdown
On Compromise
Plan by Monroney
BY LEE M. COHN
Star STAFF Writer

The Senate today rejected
Republican sponsored mini
mum wage compromise and
headed for a showdown on an
other middle-o f-the-road pro-
posal by Senator Monroney,
Democrat OF Oklahoma.
A 56-41 roll-call vote de-
feated a substitute bill by
Senator Prouty, Republican of
Vermont, aimed at scaling
down the minimum wage legis-
lation sponsored by Senator
Kennedy. the Democratic presi-
dental nominee.
Senator Prouty said his sub
stitute would have extended
minimum wage coverage to
about 4 million workers who
now are excluded, compared
with 5 million in the Kennedy
bill. He proposed to achieve
the cutback by eliminating
hotels, restaurants and auto
dealers and by tightening the
definition of interstate COM
merce.
The Vermont Republican also
would have granted a minimum
wage of $l.10 instead of raising
the wage floor gradually TO
SIPS. as provided by the Ken
nedy bill. Senator Kennedy's
measure would gradually re-
duce the standard work week of
newly covered employees TO 40
hours, but the Prouty substi-
tute would have provided for a
45-hour week.
Claims 48 Votes
Senator Monroney, mean
while, claimed nearly enough
support to put across his pro-
posal to limit the scope of
Senator Kennedy's bill. out the
Kennedy camp was working
hard to keep its votes in line.
We're picking up votes all
the time" Senator Monroney
said, maintaining that 48 Sen
ators favored his compromise
amendment to limit new min
imum wage coverage. He con-
ceded, however. that his 48
votes were not "copper-riveted"
and said some might switch
back to support the Kennedy
bill.
With normal absenteeism
among the 100 Senators, 48
votes would be close to a ma
jority.
Senator Kennedy prepared
to make some relatively small
concessions, trimming the
scope of his bill, to retain the
support of the liberals and
moderates who defeated two
drastic amendments yesterday.
Passage Possible Tonight
Operating under time limi-
tations for debate, the Senate
moved toward final action on
the Democratic presidential
nominees bill. Passage of the
misunderstanding it to con-
ference with the House-was
considered possible tonight or
tomorrow.
Senator Monroney said his
amendment would reduce the
coverage extension in the retail
and service field slightly below
"a million, producing total new
coverage of about 3.8 million.
He would 60 along with the
$1.25 wage floor.
