Bush, Congress strike deal
to increase minimum wage
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush and the
Democratic-controlled Congress agreed Tuesday to
raise the hourly minimum wage to $4.25 by April 1991,
a compromise clearing way for the first increase in
nearly a decade.
Both the White House and the Democrats made sig
nificant concessions to strike the deal, which for the
first time since the minimum wage was established 50
years ago would allow employers to pay a subminimum
“training wage” to teen-agers with little work experi
ence.
The compromise ends a lengthy and often bitterly
partisan battle that pitted Democratic congressional
leaders and organized labor against the Reagan and
Bush administrations and business interests.
“No side will get a victory for this,” Rep. Augustus
Hawkins, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education
and Labor Committee, said. “We didn’t want the train
ing wage to begin with but we wanted to depoliticize the
thing.”
The deal was struck between White House Chief of
Staff John Sununu, House Speaker Thomas S. Foley
and House GOP leader Robert Michel. Hawkins and
other lawmakers prominent in past minimum-wage bat
tles complained about being shut out of the talks. Some
Democrats also said Foley conceded too much.
But they agreed to the deal, which was being drafted
Tuesday and, barring unexpected disagreements over
language, will he presented to the House on Wednes
day as a substitute to a Democratic bill scheduled for a
vote. Senate passage is expected to follow shortly.
Once signed by Bush, the legislation would trigger a
45-cent increase in the minimum wage on April 1, to
$3.80 an hour, with the jump to $4.25 coming a year
later. The last increase in the minimum wage came in
January 1981, when it increased from $2.65 an hour to
the current $3.35.
The new subminimum, which could be paid to work
ers 16-19 years old for three months, and up to six
months in some cases, would be 85 percent of the mini
mum wage.
Democrats and union leaders long have considered
such a “training wage” unacceptable. However, it be
came clear that agreeing to the provision was the only
way to win a general increase after conservative Demo
crats and moderate Republicans helped Bush sustain a
veto of a minimum-wage bill passed by Congress earlier
this year.
In siding with Bush, those lawmakers argued that
employers would be reluctant to hire youths for part-
time and summer jobs if the minimum wage was in
creased without an accompanying subminimum.
For his part, Bush gave up nine months from his of
fer to increase the minimum wage to $4.25 in January
1992, and he also conceded ground on the training
wage. He had demanded a six-month provision for all
workers regardless of their age and prior work experi
ence.
Anti-abortionist remains in jail,
refuses to pay fines to get out
ATLANTA (AP) — Abortion foe
Randall Terry has spent the first
four weeks of his two-year sentence
behind bars and out of the limelight,
but his critics still accuse him of us
ing his jail time as a publicity ploy.
Terry, the outspoken leader of
Operation Rescue, is serving time
for leading a wave of demonstra
tions outside women’s clinics in At
lanta during the Democratic Na
tional Convention last year.
The 30-year-old born-again
Christian and former car salesman
has been jailed 34 times previously
for his protests, the longest time for
about a month in 1987. Unlike other
jail terms, Terry hasn’t been allowed
to do jailhouse interviews this time
and is limited to one 10-minute
phone call a week.
“We don’t get the access that we
had before,” said Barbara Magera
spokesman at Operation Rescue’s
headquarters in Binghamton, N.Y.
“We just got a little note from him,
just encouraging us and telling us he
is doing well. That was all that we
heard from him.”
Operation Rescue is a loose-knit
grassroots organization founded by
Terry in November 1987, three
years after he and his wife, Cindy,
began standing outside a clinic in
Binghamton trying to discourage
women from having abortions. It
has a mailing list of about 20,000
people,and Magera claims 35,000
supporters have been jailed for pro
tests.
Terry was moved last week to the
Alpharetta Correction and Rehabili
tation Center, north of Atlanta. He
had been held in the Fulton County
jail since Oct. 5.
A1 Pierce, warden in charge of the
medium-security facility, said Terry
is being treated like any other in
mate. He lives in a dormitory and
has been assigned a job, Pierce said,
although he didn’t know what the
job was. Magera said she had been
told Terry worked on a crew’ instal
ling water pipes.
Terry was given a 24-month sen
tence Oct. 5 for his criminal trespass
and unlawful assembly convictions
over protests at an Atlanta women’s
clinic July 19, 1988. Fulton County
State Court Judge John Bruner said
he would suspend the sentence if
Terry would pay two $500 fines, stay
out of the five-county metropolitan
Atlanta area for the 24 months and
agree not to break any more Georgia
laws.
Terry refused, and also refused to
pay a $2,000 bond that would have
kept him out of jail while Operation
Rescue appeals his sentence. He said
the amount was too high.
No date has been set for the ap
peal. Terry has said he would serve
the full two years, if need be. The ac
tivist could go free any time he de
cided to meet the requirements and
pay the $ 1,000 fine.
