He criticized it as “more dangerous to business than any that has been presented to the Senate.” Striding back and forth, he told his colleagues one reason he opposed the legislation was because Secretary Perkins “may have a great deal to say about its administration.” “I don’t want this measure handled by people who have an antipaihy against my section,” he roared, his want it administered by people who have an idea that our women down there don't wear shoes. and who have other ideas that are unfounded.” Harrison, defeated last major leader, criticized the a1 thority which the Labor Standar Board would have over industry. He declared: “I don't want power to anybody week for to give that much I don't want this board destroying businesses, large or small, by its administrative fiats" He was followed by Senator “Cotton Ed” Smith, ruddy, bull-voiced South Carolinian, who described the bill as “the last and final effort which if enacted into law will arrest. perhaps forever. the hope and prosperity of the South.” “You are creating a psychology in this country that will sink us,” he said. tugging at his grizzled mustache ‘We will have to change our im- migration laws to bring people in here to work.

Declares. in New York Mrs. who came “The Government should be the model employer of the country, and there is every reason to believe the intent of Congress is to rectify long- standing neglect, of the conditions of the many thousand low-paid em= ployes,” Jacob Baker, president of the United Federal Workers of America, said yesterday in commenting on the $1200-a-year minimum wage bill for Federal employes. Baker amplified his statement by adding he believed it was the intent of Congress to bring the governmental policy into line with the economic needs of the individual worker, as well as to encourage higher standards for industry generally.” “When hearings open and the facts are shown,” Baker said, “there should be no question as to the whole= bearted sentiment of members of both House and Senate favorable to the principles of the bill.” The workers’ group, Baker concluded, will have representatives at the hear= ings in an effort to raise the minimum wage to $1,500, which it believes ‘to be justified for all full-time workers.' e o QUIETER THAN GRAVE PITTSFIELD, Mass., July 31 (). — The local public library is literally quieter than the grave, according to tests made with a sound-recording | instrument here yesterday.
