Plan To Hike Minimum Wage Bill Faces Two Obstacles
Washington February 5 two hurdles to action on an administration plan to raise the national minimum wage emerged. The first would broaden the federal wage hour law to cover activities affecting commerce. The second would extend minimum wage coverage to workers on large farms for the first time. A Democratic member said labor unions urged the farm provision and the administration does not favor it. House Labor committee Republicans said all nine minority members will oppose both provisions with at least three Democrats likely to back them. The committee began hearings January 27 on the bill to raise the wage from 40 cents to 75 cents per hour.
