Minimum Wage Bill For Federal Employees

This volume contains the official record of hearings held on H.R. 152, a bill to fix the compensation of certain employees of the United States government. Conducted on January 11, 1918, before the House Committee on Labor, the hearings provide insight into the legislative considerations surrounding the establishment of a minimum wage for federal workers during the early 20th century. The transcript offers a firsthand account of the arguments for and against the bill, reflecting the economic and social concerns of the time. It is a valuable resource for researchers interested in the history of labor law, government regulation, and the evolution of wage standards in the United States. This historical document sheds light on the debates that shaped the modern employment landscape and continues to be relevant for understanding the ongoing discussions about fair compensation and worker rights.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
