![Urges age minimum age limit provisions in Connery-Black Bill. Washington, D.C. June 14. Testifying on the Black-Connery Wage and [Hours] Bill today, Rep. Robert Luce, of Massachusetts, urged the Seante and House Labor Committees to exempt from the wage provisions of the bill all persons under 21 years of age. Luce, who employs almost a hundred women in a clipping bureau he conducts, declared the measure overlooks all the little fellows like himself. He explains this statement by saying that most women employed today do not intend to make a life work out of industry and therefore should be excluded from a minimum wage. He added that because of the money and times used in training women, he loses $3250 everytime one resigns. 6/14/37](https://cache.getarchive.net/Prod/thumb/cdn4/L3Bob3RvLzIwMTUvMTEvMjUvdXJnZXMtYWdlLW1pbmltdW0tYWdlLWxpbWl0LXByb3Zpc2lvbnMtaW4tY29ubmVyeS1ibGFjay1iaWxsLXdhc2hpbmd0b24tZGMtMTAyNC5qcGc%3D/320/400/jpg "Urges age minimum age limit provisions in Connery-Black Bill.
