IN WASHINGTON WHAT TAKING PLACE BY UNITED STATESsENATOR Q Of the many developments dur ing the first week of the final ses sion of the Seventy-fifth Congress, two stand out. They are the con structive message o f President Roosevelt and the action of seven Southeastern Governors, including Governor Hoey of North Carolina in endorsing a wage and hour bill. This latter is particularly signifi cant in light of the fact that oppo sition to the much misunderstood wage and hour bill has come from the South. q Some of the misunderstanding has been due to methods of admin istering the measure and in this connection the Governors express-' ed confidence that the President and the Congress would work out and “provide satisfactory admini strative machinery.” The action of the Governors gives new emphasis to an important paragraph of the President’s message deserving of widespread attention. He said: ^ “Government has a final re sponsibility for the well-being of its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work for willing hands and relief for the un fortunate, those suffering hard ships from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the gov ernment for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make fit ting response.” 0 Another paragraph of the Pres idential message strikes directly at sectional opposition to the wage and hour bill. It says: “I have spoken of economic causes which throw the nation’s income out of balance; I have spoken of practices and abuses which demand correc tion through the cooperation of capital and labor with the govern ment. But no government can help the destinies of people who insist on putting sectional and class-con sciousness ahead of general weal. There must be proof that sectional and class interests are prepared more greatly than they are today to be national in outlook.” ^ This statement by President Roosevelt is particularly important at a time when sectional issues are raised in connection with impor tant legislation. Members of Con gress now realize that the farmer has been given advantages through legislation designed to raise the level of farm prices and thereby increase farm income. Business and industry has been assisted through loans and increased out put and sales by means of both Federal loans and Federal expendi tures. The upper strata of labor— the organized groups—have been aided with legislation that strength ens its bargaining postition. 0 Obviously, something must be done for the low-paid workers who toil long hours and often under sweatshop conditions. This is where the wage and hour bill would be a help. And it should be emphasized that farm labor, employees of local merchants and many other groups would not be affected. Only those industries and businesses in inter state commerce would be included in Federal regulation of wages and hours. In fact, strictly local busi nesses would be helped through in creased purchasing power in the community.
