(AP) Another congressional battle royal on labor legislation apparently was put off today until fall when the House Rules Committee indefinitely delayed action the minimum wage bill.
It refused to clear to the one House floor the measure urged by President Truman and passed by the Senate which would raise the minimum wage requirement from 40 to 65 cents an hour. Various Congressman had been talking of trying to add riders to the bill--the vetoed Case labor disputes bill, the President's emergency strike control measure, and a provision to increase farm prices. "I think the effort to get labor legislation now must over until after the summer recess of Congress," said Rep. Cox (D-Ga.) of the committee. "However, the effort to get strong legislation will go on when Congress returns," he told newsmen.
Asked whether today's postponement means that the bill will not reach the floor before Congress adjourns for the summer. Rules Chairman Sabath (D-III.) said, "I'm afraid that is true." It is believed that the coldest spot in North America is at or near Fort Good Hope, on the Mackenzie river, about 20 miles south of the Arctic circle, with a minimum temperature of 79 degrees below zero.
