PLAN EXPECTED TO STIR Subdued Counterpart NRA Looms When Machinery Set Up for Latest At tempt to Regulate Work WASHINGTON, June 23. (AP) Those stormy, stirring days of June. 1933. when General Hugh John on wu creating the national recovery ad ministration, may have a subdued counterpart when the machinery set up for the new wage-hour pro gram. Less broad in Its application than the NRA, the wage-hour admin 1st ra tion will concern Itself with inter state Industries and those linked dl rectly to interstate commerce. The NRA, on the other hand, attempted to encompass all industry with 000 odd codes. On a half. dozen or more points, however, the objectives of the wage hour legislation almost coincide with those of the NRA. Here are some examples: 1 35 Cents First Year. Wages The new program fixes minimum of 35 cents an hour the first year and 30 cent thereafter, with Industry committees directed to increased to 40 cents mi parldly as possime. The NRA fixed minimum wages by industries. The cotton textile indus try, for Instance, submitted an origin al code proposal calling for a 10 minimum for a 40-hour week, or as cents an hour. Differentials The wage-hour leg' Islatlon permits sectional pay differ entials within an Industry, after the 30-cent minimum has been reached, This will be done by letting the com mtttees excuse a portion of an In dustry from paying higher wages on ' the basis of economic and sectional factors. Again referring to the cotton tex tile code, the NRA was asked to makv a definite differential between the south and north a $10 a week min I mum In the south and 911 In the north. 44-Hour werk. Hours The new law would fix hours at 44 a week the first year, 42 the second and 40 thereafter with time and a half being required for overtime. Seasonal Industries, run ning 14 weeks or less a year, could go up to 66 hours. The NRA fixed the hours by agreo- ment, with a goal of 40, but making exceptions for seasonal Industries and others. Administration Aa wage-hour ad ' mlntfttrntor, chosen by the president and confirmed by the senate, will operate In the labor department with a minimum number of administra tive employes. The NRA had hun dreds of employes under Ocneral Johnson's direction. Industry Committees The wage hour administrator will appoint com mittee for-each industry, representa tive of the public, employers and em ployes. These committees will fix wages above the 30 cents an hour limit. The administrator wilt havn no power to change the boara'a or ders , But may d lamias It and ap point a new board. His approval of a wage order will be final, except for court review. Code i:p for F. K. Okeh. Under the NRA, code board were chosen by the Industry. If the ad ministrator disagreed with the codes tney drafted, he could suggest changes. He approved them after consulting with an advisory council and representatives of labor and the public. The codes finally were ap proved by the president. Bxemptlons-The wage-hour law will not apply to executives, admin istrators, professional workers or local retailers. It will exempt farm workers and other claAsrs. Tho NRA also wo designed primarily for Industrial workers, but It was much broader be cause it took In rotall workers. There are other minor points on which an analogy between the wage hour and NRA legislation mlgnt bo drawn, but supporters of the new le Islatlon hope history's habit of re peating itself will not be carried too far. The NRA was killed by the su preme court. HAMILTON URGES REAL DEMOCRATS G. 0. P. Republican National Chair man Addresses Plea to Southern Bourbons; Says New Deal Alien Policy BrRltlNOHAM, Ala., June 28.-(AP) John D. M.

"If free enterprise, for which the south has alwaya fought, la to be re established, then principles must trl umph over our emotions and our I prejudices." ! Hamilton declared the new dea1 was dedicated to an alien phllos- ; ophy." Outlgiitlon Cited. "We hear the leader of that (Dem ocrat) party castigate southerners as feudalists " he anld. "We see a war of extermination waged against several southern members of thai party in congress, solely because they have been true to the faltn ana have dared vote their convictions " Citing expanded producelton an:' reduced prices of cotton, the south': staple crop, Hamilton said the out look "Is darker than It has ever been nd this Is due primarily to th; new deal and Ita policies of artlflcla' and enforced restrictions."
