Congress May Increase Federal Minimum Wage
Washington AP report notes the House will consider raising the federal minimum wage this week while debates over a campaign finance bill continue. The plan would lift the wage from 2.30 to 2.65 next year, then to 2.89 in 1979 and 3.15 in 1980, with a later target of 53 percent of the average blue collar wage. The measure faces opposition from Republicans and some southern Democrats amid broader farm bill action and election-day registration proposals.

The report cites industrial fossil fuel use and deforestation as main causes, and does not endorse alternative energy sources.
