Czar Lewis Blocked by House Committee Action
Washington June 14 A coalition of Republicans and administration Democrats crushed John Lewis by bottling up his labor bill in the House Rules Committee. The measure would require firms with government contracts of 10 000 or more to meet wage hour standards and face penalties and denial of future contracts for violations. The move followed Lewis using Speaker Thinkhead's office to press lawmakers. The Walsh Wealey act would be rewritten to extend these standards.
