Umstead Reports Research Triangle Bill Important To County By JOHN W. UMSTEAD _The most iiriportant matter to come before the House ol' Repre sentatives during this session was ’■the Minimum Wage Bill which was debated for 5'- hours on Tuesday. The Bill had been passed on it’s second reading in the proceeding Friday but third reading had been ibjecU'd to and the Bill was plac e as a special order for Tuesday’s calendar. When the Bill came up*on Tues day Speaker Hewlett asked all members who had amendments to send them up and all records for amendments were broken when 24 were submitted. It was evident rom the start that the proponents of the Bill had a majority on Iheif uric but still the opponents insist cd on yoting on their amendments and we remained fn session until 15 in the afternoon before the final vote was taken. This vote was 66 to 39 ip favor of the Bill as amended. The Bill guarantees a minimum wage Of 75 e per hour lor employees in N. C. not engag edMn_lnM^M^to exemptions from the provision of the Rill are' persons engaged in farming, dairying, domestic ser vicc. pari time workers, handi capped workers and persons over 65 years of age. Under the Bill the law would take effect January 1, 1960. The opponents of the Bill used every known legislative de vice to cripple or kill the Bill, but those who think that such a meas ure would help the economy of the state were in the majority from the start. Those of us who support ed the Bill were called “Com munists” and “Socialists” and any thing else that came to the minds of those speaking against - the measure.

Similar surveys have been made in other counties, it is understood However, inasmuch as the lay study committee has been allotted no funds for its study, approval of the UNC survey would require an ap propriation from the Commissioners, it is presumed, and provide further drain on current appropriations. In arriving at the charge for the survey, the UNC department esti mated $3,500 for staff time. $175 for photographic supplies, $100 for spe cial processes. $250 for clerical as sistance, $150 for travel and subs sitence. and $50 for miscellaneous expenses. In addition, it was pointed out, there will be a substantial in v cstment of school district staff time and district monies in the sur vey over the amount which would be required by UNC.
