ADMINISTRATION POWER
(.ROWS IN DKI'KKSSION
ANCIBNff AXIOM REVERSED
hAS INFLUENCE EXPANDS
GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
OWNERSHIP INEVITABLE
AGRICULTURE AND RELIEF
RVLE EXPANSION IMPENDS
WASHINGTON, June 8. The moat
ancient of American political axioms
Is that. In bad times, the power of
the administration diminishes as the
business Index drops. The people
lose confidence In their rulers; the
feelings of the voters are reflected
In congress, and, before long, the
administration Is rendered Impotent.
It has always worked that way.
Under the New Deal, however, all
things are different. Vast depression-born
increases in the power of
the president and his subordinates
are already in prospect In three im
portant fields railroads, agriculture
and relief. In the first, congress has
shamefully abdicated its responsi
bility. In the second, a previous
grant of power will soon become ap
plicable. And. in the third, the op
position to the White House in the
senate played scuttle and run on
the spending bill.
It Is not too much to say that,
if things go on as they are going,
government ownership of the na
. tlon's railroad system will soon be
Inevitable. It was disclosed in this
space yesterday that authoritative
government economists now estimate
that only eight railroads in America
will meet their 1938 fixed charges.
The Implications of that are per
fectly obvious.
Either of two things can happen,
flome way can be found to permit
the RFC to advance funds to the
shaky roads. Then the government
will hold a first mortgage on the
estimated D4 per cent of the national
railroad mileage which cannot earn
Its keep. Or the railroads can be
allowed to go to the wall, with ac
companying fearful shocks to the
economic system. And the imme
diate result will be a violent agi
tation for government ownership.
One of the most fantastic things
in the whole fantastic railroad situa
tion Is the benumbed expectancy of
government ownership. In the ranks
of railroad management and railroad
labor, in the offices of the insur
ance companies and savings banks
where railroad bonds are held, in

40 CENTS HOUR
IN SEVEN YEARS
Joint Congressional Com
mittee Approves Plan for
25 Cents in First Year-
Thirty Cents Second Year
WASHINGTON, June 8. (p) A
Joint congressional committee com
promised wage-hour legislation today
by agreeing to imposition of a min
imum wage of 40 cents an hour in
all Interstate Industries at the end
of seven years, except where such a
wage would cause unemployment.
The compromise, adopted with the
approval of 12 of the 14 conferees,
would provide for a minimum wage of
35 cents an hour, with no exceptions,
for the first year. This would be ad
vanced to 30 cents the following year.
Boards To Set Wage
After this boards appointed by a
central administrator would be em
powered to examine conditions in In
dividual Industries to determine the
minimum wage to be paid by these
Industries. The boards, made up of
representatives of the employers, em
ployes and public, would be charged
with the duty of Increasing the min
imum to 40 cents an hour as rapidly
as possible.
At the end of seven years, all wages
In Interstate Industry would go to
the 40 cents an hour level, except
where these boards found that such
action would substantially curtail
employment in the Industry.
Bow To Southerners
This latter concession was made to
southerners who havo been fighting'
for a wage differential. Senator Pep
per (D.-Fla.) announced that with
this proviso he would support the
compromise. - '
Senator Ellender (D.-La.) told
Chairman Thomas (D.-Utah) angrily
he would not support It. Ellender
was the sole senate conferee voting
against the compromise.
Representative Hartley (R.-N. J.) of
the house conferees also cast a no
vote.
Chairman Thomas said the com
mute would take up discussion of
hour maxima at a meeting this af
ternoon. Under the compromise, administra
tion of the act would be undet the
labor department. An administrator
appointed by the president and con
firmed by the senate would have di
rect charge.
