President Johnson Says:
Minimum Wage Is
"Declaration Os Decern 1
WASHINGTON, D. C. - “This
is another D-Day in our fight
to help those in need,” Presi
dent Johnson said on Feb. 1,
the day the minimum wage
amendments became effective.
In a meeting in the Cabinet
Room of the White House, the
President thanked "those who
have worked so long and ef
fectively to bring about passage
. of these amendments.” Ex
cerpts from the President’s re
marks follow:
To me this is another D-
Day in our fight to help those
in need.
It is my humble pride as
President to see that this decla
ration or decency has been made
real in millions of lives and
nomes -for as we meet here
this afternoon, a new Minimum
Wage has become effective in
this country. It will mean a
great deal to a great many
people --none of whom are here.
It will help them to carry on.
Eight million workers, &s Mr,
Keenan has told you, have new
benefits this afternoon -for
the first time since this Act
was passed 28 years ago.
One million more workers
are going to get benefits next
year.
The minimum rate for most
workers -- those 30 million
previously covered --becomes,
today, $1.40 an hour. This
still means less, for a year’s
work, than what we count as a
poverty wage. But this brings
minimum wages closer in line
with minimum decencies than
they have ever been before.
An additional billion dollars
will go, this year, into those
pay envelopes where it is need
ed most and this will be
for services rendered, for work
performed.
If this means very small in
creases in prices -- that we
have heard a good deal about—
