—Lancaster Farming, Saturd«y? w Aprll 6, 1974 32 Sometime this year, Congress seems almost certain to pass a new minimum wage law. There is wide agreement on Capitol Hill that no one in these inflationary days can be expected to live on $1.60 per hour. Of course, there will be the argument, and it’s valid, CHARLES E.SAUDER &SONS R D 1 East Earl HERSHEYBROS. Remholds STEVENS FEED MILLI, INC. Stevens. Pa HAROLD H. GOOD Terre Hill FOWL’S FEED SERVICE R D 2. Peach Bottom that raising the minimum wage has tremendous in flationary impact, and the end result is that the same people the raise is designed to help get hurt by the in flationary spiral that grows out of the increase. But, that argument does not take into account the financial problems already GRUBB SUPPLY CO. Elizabethtown WHITE OAK MILL R D 4, Manheim DUTCHMAN FEED MILLS, INC. R D 1. Stevens H.M. STAUFFER & SONS, INC. Witmer PARADISE SUPPLY Paradise faced by workers on the low end of the wage scale as their pay has remained frozen in a period of tremendous price jumps. The job before Congress is to try to minimize the impact of hiking the minimum wage by keeping the increases within reason and spreading them out over several months, or in some cases, years. The House version of the legislation would raise the lowest wage from $1.60 to $2.00 per hour effective the first day of the second full month after the bill becomes law. On January 1, 1975 the figure would go up to $2.10, and on January 1, 1976 to $2.30. These would be the effective rates for all non agricultural employees covered by minimum wage provisions prior to 1966. The rates would differ slightly for those in non agricultural categories who received coverate after 1966. The increase would go to $1.90 on the first day of the second full month after enactment, to $2.00 on January 1, 1975, to $2.20 on January 1, 1976, and to $2.30 on January 1, 1977.

The problem with listing those figures is that the Senate version of the bill is almost certain to contain higher rates. That means the issue probably will be resolved in a Conference Committee, although the House is likely to be pretty firm in holding out for its provisions. Why? Because there is good reason to hope that the House version will not bring on a veto by the President, while higher figures could put us back where we were last year with a vetoed bill that ended up failing to help those in need of help. The House bill includes a worthwhile section known as the youth differential. It would permit employers to hire full-time students for part-time work at wages somewhat less than the minimums< for full-time workers. This provision will help assure that part-time employment will remain available for high school and college students. Otherwise the new minimums could threaten to abolish many traditionally part-time positions, and cause real problems for young people looking for a job after school.
