Administration seeks delay in wage increases
The Nixon administration urged Congress to slow the Democratic plan to raise the minimum wage from 1.60 to 1.80 next Jan 1 and skip the 2.00 step for another year. Secretary Hodgson warned a 25 percent jump in 12 months could worsen employment and inflation. He opposed extending coverage to state and local workers and proposed a lower 1.60 floor for youths and under 18s. He also pressed moderated increases for farm workers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
