WASHINGTON, July 16 (U, P.. —Elmer F. Andrews, 48-year-old New York State Industrial Commissioner and former civil engineer, was entrusted today with the task of nutting a “floor” under wages and a “ceiling” over hours of all industries engaged in interstate commerce. Shortly after President Roosevelt had announced his appointment as administrator of the new wages and hours law last night in California, Mr. Andrews said he had no hesitation about accepting the post. He promised that inforcement of the lew “in the beginning, at least, will be by co-operation rather than by police power.” He has had long experience in similar work. When Mr. Roosevelt was Governor of New York, Mr. Andrews served as deputy industrial

will co-operate with the new Federal agency. “The effect of the law will be to eliminate wage cutting practices as a form of competition among business concerns, and it will also put a stop to factories and manufacuring plants moving around the country in search of cheap labor. “A feature of the new law which has an especial appeal for me, and which I plan to make full use of, is the provision for administering the law through state departments

of labor.” Wage Scale Progressive

The law provides for: An initial minimum wage of 25 cents per hour during the first year, to be increased to 30 cents per hour the second year and 40 cents “as soon as economically possible,” but within seven years. A maximum work week of 44

hours for the first year, 42 hours during the second year, and 40 hours thereafter. Employers must pay time and one-half for overtime. Prohibition of child labor under 16 years of age, and under 18 years of age in hazardous industries. The Administrator is given comsiderable latitude In effectuating provisions of the act and could, upon advice of an industry committee, move the initial wage to 40 cents an hour in the first year for specific industries.
