Only those industries producing goods mov- ing in interstate commerce would be affected, and there are certain exceptions even then. Exemption would be made for persons employed in local retail establishments; outside salesmen; those engaged in taking fish, seafood and sponges; those engaged in agriculture; and certain “marginal” employees for whom the Secretary of Labor would be empowered to make spe regulations, These “marginal” em- ployees are those too old for regular employment having infirmities rendering them unfit for ord employment. The bill provides that for the first year the mini- mum wage in affected industries shall be 25 cents; for the next year, 30 cents; for the year after that, 35 cents; for the following year, 40 cents, at which level it is to remain unless changed by further statute As to the work week, the bill provides for 44 hours as the maximum during the first year; 42 hours the second year, and 40 hours the third and or succeeding years. Thus, under the measure, fresh numbers of workers would be affected year after year until the 40-cent 40-hour level is attained. Some observers place the number to be affected by the wage provisions the first year at about one million.
