Wage, Labor Laws Urged By Roosevelt
President Asks Aid For Farm, Industrial Workers In Message
WASHINGTON, May 24 —(U.P)— President Roosevelt asked congress in a special session today to enact sweeping labor legislation which would outlaw child labor in interstate industries and establish wage and hour standards along lines of the invalidated NRA for all workers In interstate commerce.
Mr. Roosevelt, In his message, emphasized that his plan was not only to bolster living standards of industrial workers but also to embrace the farm worker. TIME-AND-A-HALF PAY
The nature of his proposals would permit congress to outline such limits as it may desire on maximum work week and minimum wage regulations, or leave these issues entirely to the board the legislation would create.
The Black-Connery 30-hour week plan is not expected to prevail. There have been various estimates ranging up to 48 hours a week as a possible maximum. The bill proposed originally called for a basic 40-hour week with allowed overtime employment on a time-and-a-half pay basis.
SUMMARY OF MESSAGE
Crystallized, the president's message called for:
1.	A general maximum level for the work week, allowing some leniency for exceptional trades, and overtime at time-and-a-half for workers engaged in interstate manufacture.
2.	A wage minimum subject to appropriate qualifications and general classifications by administrative action, also restricted to interstate commerce.
3.	Prohibition of child labor (below 16) ln interstate commerce.
4 Banning from Interstate markets the products of employers who deny workers self-organization and collective bargaining rights, whether through use of labor spies, company unions or strikebreakers.
Mr. Roosevelt's message was couched in sharp terms. He assailed "chiselers" in Industry and reiterated that his fight for the underprivileged would go forward.
