For many Of the enterprises
which would be covered under

THE adjustment to both the

consideration"

about 2.5 million employees,
mainly store workers, be in

presented the administration
Recommendations to a Senate
Labor Subcommittee opening
hearings on proposals TO broaden
Icoverage Of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act.
Mr.. Mitchell proposed in pre-
pared testimony that the law be
broadened TO include employers
doing at least 81 million worth Of
business a year and employing
a minimum Of 100 employees.
The Labor Secretary said the
administrators recommended
tons would extend the present

million workers, but for one rea-
son or another, does not include

clause Of the law. Mr.. Mitchell's
plan would expand this clause.
