Minimum
Wage Bill
Law Now
WASHINGTON. Oct. M iJP)
President Truman signed legisla
tion today raising the minimum
wag from 40 to 14 rents an nour
and railed It "a major victory" for
his aoministiation.
In a statement Truman ex
pressed "regret" that the legisla
tion exempts some workers who
i previously nad been covered by the
fair labor standards law.
He added :
"But the improvement mad by
the new law will go lar towara
achieving our basic purpo ol as
suring minimum laoor standards
necessary lor health, elflciency and
general well-being ot workers.
"The enactment of the talr labor
standards amendments ol 194$ is a
major victory in our fight to pro
mot the general wellar of the
people of th United States
New 'Hour'
The new pay '"floor" lor workers
In Interstate commerce becomes el
fective in $0 days. Congress mem
bers have estimated the SS-cenl-an-hour
Increase in the minimum rate
will hike the pay ol up to 1.S00.
.00 wn.kers now getting less thsn
75 rents an hour.
They figure the Increase will
raist the wane bill ol employers
around $300 000.000 a year.
Truman asked congress not only
to raise minimum par to 7S rents
an nour. but to broaden coverage
of the present law.
Congress met the president's re
quest for a 75-cent minimum, but
it narrowed the law s coversge in
stesd of broadening It.
At present about 33 600 000 work
ers are protected by the statute.
The house voted to exclude about
1.006.000 of these, and the senate
only about 300.000
The compromise worked out puis
the total number excluded some
where between th house and sen
ate figures.
