( Continued limit the coverage of retail and service enterprises to those operating establishments in two or more states and grossing $1,000,000 or more. It covers chains operating in two or more states, but exempts enterprises that do business only in a single state. It makes no other change in the committee bill. The amendment does not affect specific exemptions contained in the committee bill nor specific inclusions of new employees other than those engaged in retail and service enterprises operating in one state. It does not affect the $1.25 per hour provisions of the Kennedy bill. It will provide total new coverage, according to the labor department, of 3,800,000 persons earlier, the Senate had indicated that some form of wage bill will clear the body by defeating, 56 to 39, an amendment by Senator Holland (D., Fla.) which would have added fewer than 300,000 workers to present coverage. On Thursday the Senate will devote one hour to debating the 40-plus amendments offered by a number of Senators. It will give two hours each to the Monroney proposal and to another substitute bill offered by Senator Prouty (R., Vt.). Prouty's measure would specifically cut about 1,000,000 workers from the committeeapproved Kennedy bill's scope, would from page 1 ) sharply restrict the definition of "interstate commerce" for wage-hour purposes; cut the proposed pay floor to $1.10 hourly with limited overtime pay for newly-covered workers; and retain the Kennedy bill's gradual rise to $1.25 hourly for presently covered employees. Senator Monroney, who has been in "constant running contact" with Kennedy's line-backers on the minimum wage bill, says that there is little difference in economic impact between his measure and that which will be found agreeable to the Democratic nominee tomorrow. It is understood that Senators Anderson (D., N.M.) and Smathers (D., Fla.) will offer a bill to exclude all employees of automobile dealers and all hotel and restaurant employees (including chains) for an additional 701,000 exempt employees. Monroney sees the big difference between the proposals as "philosophical." He would leave the present interpretation of the meaning of "interstate commerce" unchanged while it would be radically broadened by the Kennedy measure. The Monroney proposal is apparently unacceptable to Kennedy. Nevertheless, Monroney believes that his proposal is "getting pretty close to the magic 50" votes tiiat would be a working majority in the Senate. Coast and N. Y.
