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.
