President Roosevelt looks favorably upon the principles of the Black 30- hour-week bill the Senate, but _believes considerable efasticity in | its provisions will be required for suit- able administration, it was learned to- day. This _elasticity would eliminate a definite limitation fixing 30 hours as the working week. The President, who has discussed the legislation with his aides, likes the principle of spreading employment among as large a number of people as possible. He also wants to prevent any one individual working too many hours at a time. He is considering ways by which the Government might foster the spread of work in a given industry over the whole industry and prevent the concentration in one or two units of the industry. . M Frances Perkins, Secrétary of Labor, said today after a two-hour ses- sion with the House Labor Committee that she thought legislation for a shorter work week ‘“can be produced at this session.” The committee asked Miss Perkins to put some of her suggestions into written form. She agreed, explaining Iater that these “would be provisions to make the bill enforcible and to give some elasticity in enforcement.” Miss Perkins indicated that questions of a minimum wage ‘provision and the length of working hours may be cov- ered in her suggestions.
