Washington reports the Rural Electrification Administration may need to alter labor rules if Congress passes the Walsh government contracts bill. It would require work on loans or grants to follow NRA minimum wages and hours rules as of May 26, 1935, and bar child or convict labor. REA head Morris Tu. Cooke says company wages will reflect local conditions for private power projects, with exemptions for supervisory and highly skilled staff.
