WAGES & HOURS
COMPROMISE ON AMERICAN BILL. PROGRESS BY EASY STAGES. WASHINGTON, June 14. The House and Senate have passed the compromise Wage and Hour Bill. The measure achieves a 40-cent minimum hourly wage and 40-hour maximum week by easy stages in seven years. The quasi-public industrial boards, however, dominated by the Federal Administrator, are empowered to fix the scale in accordance with sectional economic conditions and to exempt certain industries which can prove that the scale of work would cause economic hardships. Child labour under 14 years is exempted, except in seasonal or other specified industries.
