work at night, on Saturdays, Sum-
days and holidays must be counted
as part Of an employees basic pay

pay for work in excess of 40 hours
a week.
Provisions to Offset the Supreme
Court decision are contained in the
administrators minimum wage bill.
The legislation Is expected to be
one of the first labor bills offered
on the House floor.
