' Minimum Wage Bill Amended to Death IT IS obvious, at least to your ' Home Town Reporter, that the Russell amendment to thp new min imum wage act was wangled Into the bill in a parliamentary move spearheaded by 21 southern sena tors as a deliberate intent to kill | the minimum wage bill. It was another of those coalition actions In which 20 northern Repub licans along with two northern Dem ocrats joined with the southern Democratic bloc. Only three south ern senators opposed the action. ... Hill of Alabama, Pepper of Florida and Barkley of Kentucky. It might J be pointed out, too, that the most influential senators on the Republi can side refused to join in the co- ' alition . . . senators such as Taft J of Ohio, Vandenberg and Ferguson of Michigan, Morse of Oregon, and Aiken of Vermont. There was much oratory in the debate from these southern sena- ( tors aoout the poor aowntroaaen farmer," but that this oratory was . so much political sop is evident from the fact that these same' senators _ twice before have had the opportu nity to pass the Pace bill, which includes the cost of farm labor in establishing a parity price, and have twice before even refused to con sider it. To tack the Pace bill onto , the minimum wage bill at this late * ] date as an amendment or rider when even the four national farm organizations didn't want it there, makes it an obvious move, to our ' way of thinking, to defeat the bilL ^ Against Higher Wages j The southern senators, although t they will not say so for publication, t just do not want a higher wage t scale in southern industry. This fact t has been evident in the considers- 1 tion of other wage and labor legis lation. t And these farm organizations 1 nave occn emoarrassea, 10 say ine >? least, throughout the senate fight on < the minimnm wage bill, which i would raise the legal minimnm ? wage from 44 cents to GO cents an I hour for some three million work- 1 era, bnt nfit farm workers. They e were lukewarm on the bill in the , first place for the reason that a high- J er minimum wage would Indirectly mean higher farm wages. f At the same time they favor the i principle of the Pace bill to include 1 farm labor cost in the price of farm products, and so they could not open- J ly and wholeheartedly oppose the amendment although it did not - contain certain safeguards which are set out in the original Pace bill, J such as "area of production" and "primary processing" exemptions. ) The farm organizations also asked for flexible minimum wages based . on cost-of-living index and the trans fer of "area of production" findings 1 to the secretary of agriculture from ) the labor department. They got none I of these safeguards, however. And i so the National Granve the Farm . Bureau, the Farmers Union and the National Co-operatives are not very happy about the result of the coalition. What would this Inclusion of cost of farm labor in the parity formula do? According to the debate on the floor as stated by Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois, it will increase the nation's food bill by something like $4,500, 000,000 annually to consumers. It would send the parity price of wheat from $1.56 to $2.07 per bush el, corn from $1.14 to $1.51 and so on down the line of parity prices. But it makes no provision for pass ing this price increase along to | farm workers. | Senator Lucas declared that un der the Steagall act the govern ; ment could not finance the support program at these prices. Bill Facet Veto Although the minimum wage bill as originally introduced providing for 65 cents on a sliding scale up to 75 cents, was a part of the Preci dent's program, so inflationary does he regard the bill with the Russell Pace amendment attached, he has informed the senate he will veto the ! rnnmra if noeutft in tKot fnpm 1 ! The coalition senators, in the (ace j of the President's statement, refused to compromise on a lower wage 1 minimum in exchange for their I amendment. It went through the i senate with the minimum at 60 cents, and 3H million low-paid work ers were excluded. 1 It Is not believed here that suf ficient strength can be mustered to pass the bill ever the President's veto, so It appears that it's a dead duck Insofar as this session of con gress Is concerned. The coalition senators have iron a victory which means nothing to the low-paid worker nor to the I farmer. The only hope of the farm er now for parity revision lies in passage of the Pace bill In the sen ate as introduced in the house, or in an entirely new bill, the result of a general conference on farm parity. WILL the coming Louis-Conn flght set a new record for gate receipts? There are more than two or three close to the flght game who don't think so. It will be a _ ?U..* +W? iArn* DCUUUl, l/Ub UIC lutu is that the Yankee Stadium can't match either Sol dier Field, Chicago, or the Sesquicen tennial in Philadel phia. Here's the low down from a gate receipts authority: "Mike Jacobs will charge $100 for ? ?_! TT_ Billy Conn ringsiae seais. nt will scale the crowd lown from that. I believe you will tod the attendance somewhere be tween 90,000 and 100,000. My guess vould be around $2,500,000, slightly >elow the second Tunney-Dempsey meeting in Chicago which drew (2,650,000." Jacobs boasts that he vUl gross three million dollars on his fight. This sent us prowling into the rec >rd book to check the leading money ?ecords of the game. Here they are: Tunney-Dempsey, Chicago, 1927? (2,656,090. Dempsey - Tunney, Philadelphia, 1926?$1,895,723. Dempsey-Carpentier, Jersey City, 1921?91,626,580. Dempsey-Sharkey, New York, 1927?$1,083,529. Dempsey-Firpo, New York, 1923 -$1,082,590. Lonis-Baer, New York, 1935? (948,352. Lonis-Schmellng, New York, 1938 -$940,096. Tunney-Heeney, New York, 1928? ?sai.dn. The first Louis-Conn fight in New fork, 1941, drew only $451,743. ["here are two outstanding points in his financial roundup. The first is hat Jack Dempsey figured in all he shows over $1,000,000, five al ogether. These five Dempsey fights muled in $8,338,422. Dempsey altogether drew in some hing like $10,000,000 at the gate, far >eyond any one else. It will also >e noted that Dempsey drew huge imounts against four different oppo lents?Tunney, Carpentier, Sharkey ind Firpo. Gene Tunney, with Jempsey out of the picture fell from >2,650,000 and $1,895,723 to $691,014 igainst Tom Heeney. The Louis Gate Record Joe Louis so far has been in 57 lghts, but Joe has yet to know a nillion dollar gate. Here are his Ive best financial contests: Louis-Baer, New York, 1935? >948,352. Louis-Sehmeling, New York, 1938 -$949,096. Louis-Braddock, Chicago, 1937? 1640,420. Louis-Nova, New York, 1941? (583,821. Louis-SchmeUng, New York, 1936 -$547,372. The five top Louis fights are near y five million dollars below the Oempsey count for the same num ber of contests. The Conn engage ment will be the first time the Bomb >r moves into the million-dollar row. siiu uus nine u is aimosx cenain 10 je better than the 12,000,000 row. Whether it will reach $3,000,000 is mother guess. So far Louis has drawn tn ap proximately $5,000,000 at the gato; )7 per cent of this amount is about 11,850,000. Even if split evenly with lis managers this should have left loe over $900,000. Taxes have taken a terrific toll From this amount, but even so one oegins to wonder how Louis could pe in the red, so far as back debts jo, for over $200,000 to the govern ment and Mike Jacobs. U yon owe $20t,M0 today and make $2,004,900, your net will be I bout $180,004, and this still leaves fon $20,000 shy. The best Louis can hope to collect In the Conn fight will be something about $ 900,000 and (1,400,000, so far as gate receipts go. ft'hat he will get from motion pic tures and television Is still a guess. But when they stop lopping oil 90 pr 92 per cent, the residue won't be any too ponderous to carry around. Dempsey and Tunney had better breaks. Tunney knocked over $900, 100 or more for himself in 1927 at Chicago, but the income tax at that time was light?approximately 10 or 12 per cent. Both Dempsey and Tunney kept most of what they made, although the Mauler split 50 50 with Jack (Ceams before they said "farewell forever." Those days now belong with the dodo and the great auk. Maybe you can make it today, but if you do? try to keep it. ? ? ? Pennant Race Odds What should the proper and cor rect odds be on the two pennant races just aheadT A few dozen bookmakers gave me this: "We've made the Cardinals even money against the rest ot the Na tional league. "The American league looks about as wide open as the Kentucky Derby. The Yankees and the Red Sox should be slightly favored. We rate them the better balanced teams. Brazilians With Multiple Names Get Dual Listing Owing to the few family names of Portuguese origin, most Brazil ians use from two to four names, taking them from both their mother and father and arranging them in a new order, says Col lier's. But it is their uncommon given name which distinguishes them from others and by which they are best known. Consequently, Brazilians are list ed by their first as well as their last name in many telephone direc tories and government files.
