ZvDimiiinniiLiim Wg Ooinig Up epftemmbeir 3 By DAVE CHESNUTT Journal Staff Writer Thousands of Alabama workers will get either a 10-cent an hour raise or a shorter work week with overtime pay when new federal minimum wage laws go Into effect Sept. 3. Workers now receiving $1.15 will have to be paid not less than $1.25 an hour after Sept. 3. The work week for those in the $1 minimum wage category will have to be reduced to 44 hours with overtime pay above this level.

Employes affected by the $1.25 minimum are those engaged, directly or indirectly, in interstate commerce or in the production of goods for interstate commerce. Each worker in this category who now receives $1.15 minimum will get an Increase of $4 per week in his gross prise" category will receive a minimum of $1.15 per hour and overtime pay after 42 hours a week. After Sept. 3, 1964, these employes will receive a $125 minimum and overtime after 40 hours a week. The fair labor laws became effective in 1938 when workers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce or production for this type of activity were guaranteed a minimum hourly wage of 25 cents.

Revisions in 1D40 brought the minimum to 40 cents an hour. This minimum remained constant during the war and post-war years until 1948 when Congress voted to increase it 73 cents. A $1 an hour minimum was reached in 1956 and the present $1.13 minimum became effective in 1961. Federal Law Sets New Floor At $1.25 An Hour pay or $200 on a yearly basis. The second change required under the Fair Labor Standards Act will affect employes who were brought under the act in 1961, with a minimum wage of $1 per hour for all hours worked.

Federal regulations will require the same $1 per hour for the first 44 hours, but employers will have to pay $1.50 for each hour over 44. Employes in this second category now regulated by law include five types of private enterprise: retail businesses with gross sales of $1 million yearly; construction firms with $330,000 gross; gasoline service stations with $250,000 gross exdud'ng excise taxes; urban transit companies with $1 million gross; and any other enterprise, engaged in interstate commerce, with gross sales of $1 million. The September changes in the minimum wae standards are part of the provisions which first took effect in 1961. Beginning in September, 1(X4, all workers in the "enter- On lSMiifl Rev.
