H. Manery Mrs. B. Carmichael Mize Seston John W. Jones Robert Simpson, Jr. Walter H. Robinson The New Wage-Hour Bill (New York Times) As it emerges from the Senate committee, the Fed- eral bill for establishing minimum wages and maxi- mum hours is far less objectionable than the measure as originally drafted. The extent of the discretion granted to the proposed Labor Standards Board is greatly curtailed. Some of the blanks in the original measure are filled in. Instead of the board being allowed to fix minimum wages up to 80 cents an hour, | it is permitted now to fix them only up to 40 cents an | hour. It is no longer allowed to establish “fair"wages | | above the minimum. In an expanded definition of | employees, a specific exemption is provided for “local retail” workers, The board may fix maximum hours, {but not below forty hours a week. \ The original measure would have placed in the| | han bf the Labor Standards Board unparalleled | powers. It would have allowed that board, virtuall at its own discretion, to dictate the hours and wages of the great majority of American workers. It would | have introduced an element of uncertainty into nearly | jevery business, which could have been subject to sud- /den increases in wage costs and sudden changes, up | or down, in hours. It would, in short, have established | a regimentation of labor standards unprecedented | in a democratic country. Because the measure as re- | -‘l- vised in committee removes some of the most disturb- | ing features of the original bill, many persons v\ill’ be inclined to assume that it is now unobjectionable In its present form it will undoubtedly command \Llnvk Omit at. strong support.

Gordon a word three Let Gubser points out Pill does not set up any following the equivalent to enforce or administer such body is necessary. The question of maximum hours should also be nge of the eXperi- geqip with separately. What is most important is that such legislation must not, either directly or by implication, embody the fallacy that shorter hours | “create employment.” No Federal body should be | empowered to move hours up or down for their sup- | posed effect on employment; the sole object should be to legislate against hours that are inhumane from the | standpoint of the health and well-being of the indi- vidual worker. The revised measure is in this respect an improvement on the original, though it still appears to some extent to reflect the theory that shorter hours make more jobs. This is evident in the fact that it provides not only for a maximum week as short as | forty hours, but provides that an even shorter week, fixed by collective bargaining or otherwise, “shall be | encouraged.” Those who have drafted this measure | should not forget that shorter hours, below a certain maximum, inevitably mean reduced national produc- tion and reduced real wages for labor. Instead of delegating this question to the disc tion of a board, Congress would do much better to ar lyze the State legislation on the subj and to draft Federal maximum hour law that would reflect the existing standards of the more advanced States. Such legislation, without bringing any sudden or drastic change, would raise the standards of the backward States, while it would not prevent the more progressive States from adopting even stricter standards. Tt would, so to speak, establish a iling” over hours. The question of minimum wages is far more dif- | ficult and complicated than either of the other two. Because of the grave problems raised by geographical differences in wages, and the huge admini®rative task that the Federal Government would face, much the most desirable course would' be to leave this question | to State control, at least until more experience re- garding the working out of State regulation has been accumulated. | But if the Federal Government is nevertheless to & deal with the question immediately, .the administra- Q.
