Cc+4 BLACK DEFENDS WACEA00R BIL Alabama Senator Answers Opposition in National Radio Forum. Provisions and objections of the Black-Connery bill to establish min- imum wages and maximum hours in industries whose products affect inter- state commerce were set forth and de- fended by Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, co-author of the measure, in an address last night. He spoke in the National Radio Forum, sponsored by The Star and broadcast over a nationwide network of the National Broadcasting Co. Senator Black made public reply to objections voiced against the bill sev- eral days ago by Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan. “His first objection,” said the Ala- bama Senator, “was that Congress was acting ‘pell mell, that there was no pressing need for doing anything about Federal regulation of hours and wages now, and that, therefore, we should proceed leisurely with the subject. He suggested that we leave wages and hour to the States for the time be- ing and study the problem with all its related implications for at least an- other year. * * * Repudiated in 1936. “This Republican ‘do-nothing-yet' policy was repudiated by the American voters in 1936. “Otf course, to an old-line Repub- lican Senator, there is no present emergency about the condition of that than $1,200 a year. mbout such people. Reactionary Re- publicans and Liberty Leaguers have never been concerned about that part of our population. “But I cannot agree. Nor do I think that the vast majority of the American people entertain any such conception of the indefinite and interminable postponement of the interests of the working population of this country.” The text of Senator Black’s address follows: Over four years ago when I first {ntroduced in the Senate a bill for » five-day, six-hour working week I was given the courtesy of speaking to the national radio audience over this same network of The Star Forum. At that time I said: “One thing is clear in all the tumult of conflicting views and clashing theories—our people will not permit the starvation of these unemployed millions. Two courses are open to prevent this. It will not stand delay. In some way they should be given & chance to earn an honest living by work. Falling this we must broaden, expand and probably perpetuate a sys- tem of public care. We are now un- mistakably at the crossroads, where | we must choose between the evils of | proposed to do. | send a copy of that address and a sec- & dole system and some method of supplying work for our people.” Subsequent events—the continuing | magnitude of the relief problem even in the midst of our new prosperity— have borne out that prediction. ‘The Black-Connery bill, introduced two weeks ago, is an attempt to pro- vide that chance for private work my first bill was intended to give, America Getting Action. ‘The people of the United States bave long been ready and anxious to protect American workers from sweatshop hours and sweatshop wages. Hearings now are going on before & joint committes of the House and Benate on this definite proposal to mMeet the problem. Every person who | has expressed a desire to testify has been invited to be heard. At last the American people are getting action on this subject which has so long been close to their hearts. This bill has been introduced for action at this session of Congress be- cause Franklin D. Roosevelt and the | Democratic party keep their promises | end carry out their pledges. | This bill keeps as plain a promise as a party platform and a party candidate ever made to this Nation. And it carries out a voters’ mandate to perform that promise unprecedented in_American history. I was one of the members of the Platform Committee at the last Democratic National Convention. I remember the enthusiasm with which the committee and the convention drafted and adopted this plank for the Democratic platform. “We know that * * * minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor and working con- ditions in industry cannot be ade- quately handled by 48 separate State Legislatures, 48 separate State ad- Ministrations and 48 separate State courts. * * * We have sought and Wwill continue to sesk to meet these problems through legislation within the Constitution.” To an American people who had eeen starving in the midst of plenty, Wwho were paying heavy taxes for re- Hef of the unemployed while sweat- shops were working longer and longer hours, and too frequently peying smaller and smaller wages, that plank Tepresented comman sense as well as humanity. President's Promise Recalled, In his closing campaign speech at Madison Square Garden, President Roosevelt proclaimed: “Of course we Wwill continue to seek to improve work- ing conditions for the workers of America—to reduce hours over-long, to increase wages that spell starva- tion, to end the labor of children, to wipe out sweatshops. * * * For all these things we have only just begun to fight.” You remember the way he said that. He said it as if he meant it and as if the Democratic party meant it. And 27,000,000 people believed that he—and the Democratic party— meant, it! But Madison Square wasn't the first time in the campaign when he made that promise. He had made sub- stantially the same promise at Omaha when he addressed the farmers of the eountry and promised intelligent re- organization of the farmers’ domestic warket. In that speech at Omaha he pointed out that one of the big an- swers to the problems of the farming population was to give the mass of city workers enough purchasing power to buy the products of the farm, and thereby to increase the cash income of the American farmer, Every farmer will remember how he said it: “Increasing production alone in an unlimited way appeals to no person who thinks the problem through. Increasing consumption must go hand in hand with it. Here is a simple figure to mull over. If every family in the United States had enough money to live on what the doctors and dieticians call a class ‘A’ diet, we would need foodstuffs from 45,000,000 acres more than we are using today. * * * I seek to increase | mestic market for the farmer.” third of the population who earn less | There never was sny old-line Republican emergency | | bill | tries whose product is transported THE EVENING Defends Wage-Hour Bill SENATOR BLACK. ~Star Staff Photo. in turn provide larger and larger do- Again, in his inaugural speech, the President promised to put an end to conditions under which one-third of the population were ill-nourished, {l1- clad and ill-housed. Seeks to Implement Promises. It is to carry out all of these prom- ises of the President and of the Demo- cratic party that the Black-Connery bill has been introduced—promises to the wage earner and to the farmer— promise to the humanity and to the economic common sense of the whole Nation—promises which were to be performed as soon after election as possible, In those industries which sell their product in interstate commerce, the would eliminate child I&bor; trouble-breeding. privately paid strike breakers and labor spies; and those unnecessarily long hours which wear out part of the working population while they keep the rest from having work to do. In addition it would pro- vide a way by which those who get less than $1,200 a year in non-agricul- tural employment may, within that limit, get wages fairly Tepresenting the value of what they give and the cost of what they need to live on. Last week over a national radio hook-up, I tried to tell what the bill I will be be glad to tional analysis of the bill to any one who will send a request for them to my office in Washington. To summarize brifly, the Black- Connery bill applies to the working | conditions in non-agricultural indus- across State lines or campetes locally With products from other States. The bill does not apply to workers on farms, It does not apply to workers in purely local services like restaurants and hotels and laundries and stores and newspapers. All these are left to the States to handle. For those industrial employes work- ing in interstate products to whom it does apply, the bill proposes first to set a number of hours per week and a number of cents per hour as stand- ards below which, except under excep- tional eircumstances or in exceptional localities, American working conditions should not be chiselled. At present no figures have been set in the bill for the number of hours or the number of | cents per hour. From 30 hours up to | 40 hours a week have been suggested —and from 40 cents to 80 cents an | hour. The committees have not yet decided what figures to recommend to Congress Board Fixes Rates. ‘Then the bill gives a Labor Board of five members—appointed by the Presi- dent and passed upon by the United States Senate—power to fix for par- ticular industries, crafts and localities wages at rates differing from the fig- ures which will be written in the bill. The top limit of this power in the board as the bill is now drafted is to glve workers as minimum fair wages for particular industries, crafts or lo- calities, 80 cents an hour or an annual income of $1,200 & year. A bottom limit to which the board may reduce hours is as yet blank in the bill. The law contemplates that the dif- ferent parts of the United States shall be recognized in the appointment of these members, so that the board shall be familiar with the industrial, com- mercial and agricultural problems of all parts of the United States. The board is given a flexible power to fix these higher wages industry by in- dustry, craft by craft, locality by local- ity, after separate investigations and hearings and according to certain di- rections which lawyers call “stand- ards” written in the bill. Those stand- ards require, for instance, that in de- termining what shall be a minimum wage, the board shall take into con- sideration the cost of living; the wages established for work of a like nature by collective labor agreement; the wages paid for work of a like char- acter by employers who voluntarily pay a fair wage; and facts whicn would influence a court in determining & fair and reasonable value of serv- ices rendered. There are similar standards for the establishment of the basic work week. ‘The bill then tries to stop employ- ment at lower wages or at longer hours than have been fixed by the board as fair. It also tries to stop the use of strike breakers and the use of labor spies in the ways that Senator La Follette's recent investigation has shown are the practice of some, and fortunately only some, employers. To accomplish these things, the bill for- bids the transportation across State lines of the products of businesses which do not obey the law. Differs From N. R. A. Now notice how different this bill is from the N. R. A. First, it applies only to interstate industries and those local industries which substantially and materially compete with interstate industries. It leaves the entirely local employer and the small employer alone. Second, it deals with labor condi- tions only—it has nothing to do with fixing prices, with trade practice, with production controls and with monop- olies. Third, all the wage and hour regu- lation is done by the Government Labor Board itself—not by private purchasing power so that people can pay for more food m‘ better food, and » code authorities in the industry. Under this bill one erowd {n an industry ean't 8ang up on the others or run up expenses on the others, Fourth, its jurisdiction stops short at the equivalent of an annual worker's income of $1,200 & year—usually far below the wage scale for unionized industry. Fifth, the new Labor Board is in- structed under the bill to put the new labor regulations into effect slowly enough so that industry will not be dislocated and men thrown out of work in the process and to put them into effect in such a way that they will help rather than sup- plant collective bargaining. How many workers are affected? That depends upon the figures which Will be written into the bill or which | the board may later fix under its flexible powers over hours and wages, We have had evidence before the com- mittee that something under 3,000,- 000 people are now getting less than 40 cents an hour. If, for instance, the committee should write 40 cents an hour into the bill as a minimum wage figure, these 3,000,000 would be directly affected. Creates New Jobs. We have also had evidence that at least 6,000,000 people are now working more than 40 hours a week in in- dustries affected by the bill, If the committee writes 40 hours into the bill as & maximum work week, these | 8,000,000 people would be affected. | And different results would follow if | different figures are written into the bill. Estimates before our commit- tee are that the establishment of even a 40-hour week would result in more. The net effect of this bill for labor as a whole will be incalculable, By shortening hours it will create new jobs in the unskilled categories for millions of our unskilled unem- ployed. By setting up better standards of wages in the interstate industries di- Tectly affected, it will indirectly create competition for labor which should affect wages in all industries where the labor is interchangeable between interstate and local industries. The Federal standards will also stimulate State legislation for local industry, and bring about better labor stand- ards for all workers. And finally, the bill will underpin he whole wage structure, by law, at a8 point from which collective bar- gaining can build more surely and which will be a bulwark against the collapse of higher wages in the event of a business hecession. With comparatively little direct ad- ministrative application to industry, therefore, the effect of the bill and of action by the board will have indirect repercussions all through the labor market to the great benefit of all workers now employed—to the great benefit of millions on relief who want private employment—to the great benefit of the purchasing power sup- porting the commerce throughout the country on which the permanence of all employment depends—to the great benefit of the budget and the tax- payers of the United States. . lrl'low what are the objections to the ill? Two of them were stated the other night by s distinguished Republican Senator from the State of Michigan in a Nation-wide broadcast. Objections Recalled. His first objection was that Con- gress was acting ‘“pell-mell,” that there was no pressing need for dolng anything about Federal regulation of hours and wages now, and that there- fore we should proceed leisurely with the subject. He suggested that we leave wages and hours to the States for the time being and study the prob- lem with all its related implications for at least another year in the hope that what he called “seasoned, sus- tained and matured recommendations of a apecific nature” could be con- sidered in the next year's Congress. This Republican “do-nothing-yet” policy was overwhelmingly repudiated by American voters in 1936. His second objection was a familiar double-barreled shot. He com- plained that the bill subjected indus- try to “a national strait-jacket” while at the same time no one could tell what would be done with what he called the ‘large discretionary and dictatorial powers” given to an ad- ministrative agency. In other words, he said that the bill was too tight, but if he was wrong in that then he wanted the people to believe it was too loose. In fact, he is wrong in both. Let us consider these “pot-shot” ob- Jections one at a time. Of course. to an old-line Republican Senator there is no present émergency about the condition of that third of the population who,earn less than $1,200 & year. There never was any old-line Republican emergency about such people. Reactionary Republicans and Liberty Leaguers have never been concerned with that-part of our popu- lation. . To them thére is no emergency today because the portion of the popu- lation they are interested in are enjoy- ing our recovery at the top and taking big returns for capital while they fight what they call the “labor menace” | diverse industries into a ‘“national | Fersie ony m tooth and nail. The present existence | strait-jacket” and that the provisions | nesda: of six to eight million unemployed, the fact that & third of our working|Board to apply these general but| i population are still toiling for long houunn-rvrnmum y STAR, WASHI press upon their conscience or their intelligence. In my hand I have letters from workers written me within the last week saying they now work 64 and some of them even 91 hours per week. The same letters show that women are working in a nearby city for net weekly earnings of $7.85 for a 65-hour week. But underpaid and overworked labor- ing men and women like that can wait in the relief line or in the sweatshop forever while these objectors leisurely make up their minds to “seasoned, sustained and matured recommenda- tions"—and it won't make any dif- ference to these objectors. But I cannot agree. Nor do I think that the vast majority of the American people entertain any such conception of the indefinite and interminable postponement of the interests of the working population of this country. The idea that the Government should do nothing to help the lowest-paid workers 50 long as it can be put off— that the workers can really share in the prosperity of the country only as the prosperity of the upper classes | trickles down to the lower classes is an idea I thought had been definitely discredited with the unmourned de- mise of the Hoover administration. Evidently there is today an effort to resurrect this dead Republican ideal. ‘The critical Senator says that the prompt consideration of a well-worked= out legislative proposal on a subject which has commanded the attention and thought of statesmen and econo- mists for years would be “a travesty| upon prudence.” On the contrary, I | should think the “travesty on pru- | dence” would be to abandon the 1936 Democratic campaign pledge and adopt the 1936 Republican promise to do nothing. There may yet remain a few indi- viduals in public life who have not thought through again and again the | terrible problem of mass unemploy- ment; the contradiction that some workers should be toiling long hours when others cannot find work to do, the contradiction that a third of the population should not have adaquate purchasing power to acquire the neces- sities of life, when millions of unem- ployed would be happy to produce those needed necessities if they were only given the opportunity. But the common man, fearful of the future, of his job, his wife and his children has thought about those things in the last 10 years as he has thought of little else. He cannot think any harder about it next year than he has thought | already. N. R. A. Sidetracked Old Bill. Most men in public life have for years been giving the most prayerful | | come too great.

Two facts face the Senator from Michigan in his criticism of these flexible powers of the board. The first fact, admitted by all familiar with this subject, is that the varia- tions between localities must be ad- justed by administrative action. Those variations are based on and reflect ever-changing facts’ which can only be fairly found and followed by hear- ings before a board. E. And the second fact is that the administrative provisions of the pro- posed Black-Connery bill have been based upon the most carefully drawn State statutes which have already been before the courts. Perhaps the most important sections have been borrowed from the New York minimum wage statute. Chief Justice Hughes in the New York minimum wage case ex- pressly commended that statute for its flexibile “provisions for careful and deliberate procedure.” We have waited too long for it already—at what cost in dollars and | cents as well as in flesh and blood no one will ever know. Now we are through waliting. The Democratic party has promised the country this kind of legislation. The President has pledged it. The mandate of the election has ordered it. And at long last the American people are going to have it! GLIB BANDIT MENACE Fly-by-Night Gentlemen Prey on Widows. MONTGOMERY, Ala. (#)—Suave “white collar bandits” preying upon | Alabama’s very old and its middle- | aged widows, are described as “the | South's most despicable menace.” The description was eloved by Rob- ert Harris, secretary of the Alabama Securities Commission, directing a | State-wide campaign against “green | goods salesmen—possibly better de- | scribed as ‘white collar bandits.’ “They're a slick-tongued lot, prey- ing principally on the very old and the middle-aged widows of small com- munities,” said Harris. “And they're usually the kind that shave off their moustache and change their names overnight and do not leave finger- prints.” powers upon & Suave Brain Twizzlers BY PROF.

He went through this substance of which has not bee de- bated and redebated or even experi- mented with over the last four years and some of it long before. We know now as much as we will ever know from jnust sitting and think- ing. We know that it is hard to set up machinery that will adjust an ultihate ideal of a single national standard of decent working condi- tions and of a single national stand- ard of living and purchasing power in & single national competitive market, to the inescapable fact that there are great variations of local living costs and competitive advantage in this big country. But we also know that the prob- lem will get no easter by just wait- ing for it to become easier. Hours get longer and wages get lower while these apostles of delay and do-nothing sit, think and talk. As a matter of fact the problem will get harder the longer the expectations of those who heard the Madison Square Garden speech are deferred. When people lose hope they want change. When enough people lose hope they make change. States Powerless to Act. Pending the time when the Federal Government acts, the States can do nothing to meet the situation. Each State which takes seperate action to improve working standards only puts its own industry at a competitive dis- advantage with the industry of States which tarry. This has been the only legitimate objection of employers to useful State .abor legisiation. A na- tional bill, on the contrary, may be the good employers’ chief protection against invasion of :.is market by un- fair methods which his own stand- ards forbid. TO any one who actually is anxious to help the third of our Ppopulation with the lowest income the time for study and further delay has passed. The time for decision and action has belatedly arrived. The time has ar- rived to separate the sheep from the BoAts, to separate those who will give lip service “in principle” to decent treatment to the millions who make less than $1200 a year, from those who are willing to act on their prin- ciples. Four years—10 years—of study and waiting is Lot acting “pell- mell.” Rather it is acting shame- fully and unwisely late. Now for the Republican ecriticism of the administrative discretion given by the bill to the proposed new Labor Board. It is easy to pass off any program of comprehensive reform with the sug- gestion that it involves far-reaching implications not thoroughly under- stood. It is always easy to profess sympathy with the humane general objectives of social legislation and then find technical objection to any specific proposal. It is easy to object to legis- lation dealing with complex economic and industrial conditions on the ground that any rule of general ap- plication, however qualified, imposes a strait-jacket on American industry, or to say that any discretion, however circumscribed, vested in an adminis- trative agency, confers arbitrary and dictatorial powers upon a Federal bureaucracy. But 1t is a little disingenuous for the opponents of the ‘wage and hour legislation to say both things at once —to protest at one and the same time that the provisions of the bill pre- scribing general standards put widely of the bill enabling the proposed Labor flexible standards to the varying local and ind conditions bestow arbl- | to connect with | with the 40 logs.
