Lumber Manufacturers Oppose Minimum \(/age Boost

Washington, D. C.; April 27, l948-"Legislating \\rages and hours of work by federal larv is fundamentally unsottnd and will be a disservice to those '"r'hom it purports to benefit," declared Walter S. Johnson, Pfesident of the American Box Company, San Francisco Mr. Johnson appeared today on behalf of the National Lumber Nlanufacturers Association before a subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee holding hearings on proposed a-mendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Reiterating the lumber industry's opposition to the principle of legislating wages and hours by federal law, Mr. Johnson told the committee that the Wage-Hour Law should be repealed immediately.

If the Fair Labor Standards Act is not repealed, the minimum wage should not under any circumstances be increased, Mr. Johnson declared emphatically. An increase in the minimum rvage would have undesirable effects on the economy of the country both now and later, the lumber spokesman asserted. At the present time, an increase in the r,vages of the lorvest paid u'ould have a chain reaction effect on all wages since u'age differentials 'ivould be maintained through across the board raises. In periods of lessened activity, a wage level frozen at 6Oc -75c u'ould have the effect of accelerating unemployment, he explained.
