Horan Urges Revision
OF 40-Hour Week
For Federal Workers
Asks More Flexible Law,
Saying Many Employees
Hold Other Jobs, Too
BY Harold B. Rogers

Chairman Koran of the House
Appropriations subcommi t t e e
handling the District budget to-
day declared he was amazed"
that so many Government en-
ployes were also working part
time at other jobs. At the same
time, he said, the Government
was forced to pay overtime to
many of its workers.
Mr.. Horan placed in the Congress
sional Record a statement that the
4O-hour work week was responsible
and that the wage-hour law should
be made more flexible both for
Government and private business.
His observations, Mr.. Horan said,
were prompted by discussion of
the wage-hour situation by David
Lawrence in The Star, December 9,
which he had reprinted in the
Congressional Record.
Does Not Favor Repeal.
LET there be no mistake about
it," Mr.. Horan said, however, Il do
not by any means advocate the
repeal Of the wage and hour law;
consider the basic legislation very
necessary for the welfare of the
thousands of unorganized workers
who have no collective bargaining
power At this time, I feel that a
rise in the minimum wage is in
order"
Mr.. Koran said he believed that
no wage-hour law should be so
rigid that it will not allow for
adjustment to meet changing eco
nomic conditions. He said he was
pleased that the House Education
and Labor Committee is consider
ing means of adjusting provisions
of this law so as to make it more
flexible.
Opposes Part-Time Activity.
"I fully appreciate" Mr.. Horan
said, that the wage-hour law was
passed at a time when equity de-
manded that available employment
be shared among as many workers
as possible. We do not have such
condition today. The health and
welfare arguments for shorter
work week do not pertain when a
man sees fit to work 10 or 20 hours
at another job after finishing 40
at his regular stand"
Mr.. Horan said he had learned
during hearings on various appropri-
ations bills that hundreds and
probably thousands of Government
employees were taking advantage OF
the shortage Of labor and their 40
hour week to hold down additional
part-time Jobs"
