Show Page Two Bennett Criticizes Senate Version Of Wage Bill and Supports Veto Senator Wallace F. Bennett has criticized the Senates rejection of a substitute minmum wage bill and said he will support a Presidential veto if the bill by the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare is approved. A final vote on the issue is scheduled in the Senate soon. The bill now before the Senate will have serious inflationary and unemployment impact on the entire economy, and is especially harmful to the small business, farmers, students, the young workers and other marginal employees such as handicapped, the elderly and poor, he said . The Utah Republican supported a substitute bill on the Senate floor which stretched out minimum wage increases and contain a youth differential to avoid a worsening the high teenage unemployment rate. However, the substitute was defeated. Sen. Bennett said the bill' recommended by the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare will raise the nations annual wage costs by an estimated $4.7 billion or more by increasing the present minimum wage for most . rec-ommed- ed FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1973 THE SALT LAKE TIMES National Institute of Education Awards $1 1 Million in Grants Supermarket Leader Comments On Possibility of Phase IV Control HEWs National Institute of Education has awarded 206 workers from $1.60 an hour to $2.20 an hour by next year and grants, totalling $11,313,632, to in 37 states as the extending minimum wage and researchers overtime coverage to about seven result of its Grants for Research in Educatoin competition,' HEW million new employees.

The President is aware that the profit, margins of the supermarket chains in the America before Phase I were less than one cent on a dollar of merchandise sold. Today profit margings less than 0.36 of one cent on a dollar of sales, and the lowest profit margin on sales than at any time in the history of the supermarket industry.

Annual sales are almost $1 Hunting By Aircraft Banned in Utah A new Utah state law will complement Public Law 159 out lawing the use of aircraft in any hunting. The regulation, outlined in the 1973 elk proclamation bans the use of both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft in the taking harrassment, pursuit and location of any form of wildlife. It also contains a provision making it illega lto pick up and deliver hunters, hunting gear and big game animals with any aircraft except at established airports. In former years hunters have been allowed to hitch rides on aircraft out into the field. Division of Wildlife Resources Law Enforcement Chief John Nagel said all Utah airports will be notified by letter regarding the new regulation. - When your taste is young, OISTILUD FROM GRAIN nt William Sample, general manager of K Mart Food Stores in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and South Dakota and the 45 store Humpty Supermarket chain in the midwest, issued the following statement: Phase IV is better than what we had in Phase but it is no solution to the inflation problem in this country. On the good side, Phase IV frees up food supplies. We should be seeing more products brought to market by farmers and food processors than under Phase 3 Vz when it was unprofitable and shortages were evident at the supermarket level. Also on the good side, Phase IV permits a dollar for dollar pass through for raw agricultural goods. While Phase IV continues to ignore, the dominant role of increasing labor costs, utility costs and other operating costs by continuing to prohibit the pass through of those very real and substantial costs, the pass through on raw agricultural products offers at least partial return to sounder operations. On the bad side ,it seems silly that the freeze on beef is continued until Sept. 12. Beef alone accounts for one half of the average housewifes purchase of meat in the supermarket. The continued freeze on prices under Phase IV will continue to contribute to the beef shortage at supermarket level caused by the cattle producers withholding the product from market or selling to foreign markets where the freeze does not apply. We in the food industry again urge President Nixon to return as quickly as possible to the traditional system of supply and 01973 Sang the kid, My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; land where my fathers died, land of the pills inside ...
