Hatch today expressed concern over legislation now before the Senate Human Resources Committee that would raise the national minimum wage from $2.30 per hour to IR-Uta- $2.65. The Senator from Utah said. The minimum wage had a great purpose to fulfill when Congress proposed it in the early days, and I have no quarrel with the original intent, but the minimum wage as proposed by the Democratic majority has no provision for the unskilled, unemployed youth of the nation. The businessmen of the country can't afford to hire unskilled labor at that prire. of a hill Senator Hatch was a in January with Senator James McClure of Idaho designed to provide jobs and training for more than 4 million young people. At that time there was discussion of a wage to be offered to small businesses to hire young people and the chronically unemployed. A suggested formula was $1.30 per hour, paid for unskilled labor by the employer with a dollar subsidy from the federal government to equal the minimum wage for the employee. If the additional 35 rents per hour is added to the minimum wae il is Hatch's feeling that "A suh minimum wage will be absolutely essential. Increasing the minimum wage at this time of high unemployment is just a guarantee that fewer people will find jobs. With this approach there is no provision for the 50 young Rlaeks that are unemployed; the approximately other youths that are unemployed; the many, many Vietnam veterans that are unemployed; and the rest of the people that can't find and jobs. If this bill is approved, unfortunately I believe it will be, the nation is going to suffer for it. 20-5- 0 COUNTY FAIR EXHIBITS-Han- na Oman of Altamont is shown her displaying quilt which was entered in the Home Arts section of the county fair Monday.
