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. Hamilton, republican
national chairman, proposed today a
union of "real Democrata" and mem
ber! of hie party, which ha termed
"the only organized champion of the
Jeneraonlan philosophy."
"There la today no Insurmountable
barrier between the real Democrat
of the south and the Republican
party," he told the Alabama state Re
publican convention.
Seeking to end the south'! solid
support of the Democratic party
Hamilton made his address In one '
of the six southern states carried by
Alfred S. Smith In 1028.
Loyalty Only Bar.
"Only the deep-seated loyalty which
cornea from yeara of loving and serv
ing their party keeps many southern
Democrata today from formally and
openly repudiating the Democratic
party under Its present leadership,
he said.
"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."
Let him who said at Charleston.
8. C. "We planned It that way' ex
plain that new deal allure."
