HOUSE TO VOTE |

ON SUBSTITUTE

PAY-HOUR BILL|

More Than 60 Amendments To Be Offered in Place Of Senate Plan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (U.P). — The House Labor Committee decided today to permit Chairman Mary T. Norton (D. N. J.), to offer the 60-odd House amendments to the Wage-Hour Bill as a substitute bill for the entire Senate measure. This procedure, decided upon as

the House began consideration of |.

the bill, will obviate the necessity

of offering each Committee amend- |

ment separately. Other amendments, however, .may be offered to the Committee bill. ; A last-minute strategy meeting was held in Speaker William B. Bankhead’s office just before the scheduled meeting of the House to vote on a motion to bring up the bill. | | Plans to Fight Bill

Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga), leader of a Committee minority which favors regulation of wages and hours through a five-man “board, as approved by the Senate, said he would vote against the bill if the Committee plan for a single administrator in the Labor Department is adopted by the House. Chairman Norton moved formally after the House met to discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of a resolution governing floor debate on the WageHour Bill. She acted in accordance with ‘the petition signed by 218 House members Dec. 2. | Three Plans Pushed The major fight promises to revolve around the alternative plans for administering the system. Leaders believe that the proposal of Rep. Norton will be indorsed and passed. The | three plans: e Norton plan—Creation of a wag ne hours division in the Department of Labor headed bya $10,000 a year administrator; appointment of committees comprising representatives of employers, employees and [the public in industries having substandard labor conditions; wage and hour recommendations by the committees, subject to approval or fejeciion by the administrator. e American Federation of Loko plan—flat standards of 40 cents an hour and 40 hours a week written into law; violations fo be prosecuted by the Justice Department, 3. The Senate plan—Wage and Hours standards within the “40-40” limits promulgated by a board of five men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, (U. P.). —Attorneys for shipping interests today began cross-examination of

Fairman R. Dick, New York, financial adviser to the Association of American Railroads, was: called to the stand first to submit to shippers’ ‘questions about railroad finances. ‘He was to be followed by Dr. Julius H. Parmalee, director of the | Association Bureau of Railway Economics. Two weeks ago, when the railroads opened their fight for a 15 per cent increase in freight rates and advancement of Eastern territory passenger fares one-half cent per mile, both Mr. Dick and Mr.

Alberta Brenner is to speak on “The Romance of Silver” before ‘Rotary Club members at their luncheon meeting in the Claypool Hotel tomorrow noon.
