Few on Farms To Be Covered By Wage Law
Washington AP reports farm workers will gain minimum wage coverage under a new Congress act, but many are exempt. The law targets large farms with eligibility rules, effective Feb 1, 1967, and sets starting wages at 1.00 dollar for farm workers rising in steps to 1.30 by 1969. Exemptions include family workers and farms with under 500 man-days per quarter, limiting impact to about one eighth of farm workers.
