Government is presently in un-
fair competition with business
in many activities.
The types of Federal activi-
ties which the Hoover group and
others would like to close down
and turn over to industry range
from construction and repair of
the Nays ships to laundry
services at VA hospitals.
During the past few years
some Federal activities have
been abolished and transferred
to industry. However, industrial
leaders say that only a start has
been made in this direction and
that much more Government
activities should be terminated
and handled by industry.

of Commerce has sent a special
report to business leaders
throughout the country calling
for a letter-writing campaign to
Congress in favor of contract
ing-out policies.

Social Action
Unit Backs
Reform

.WASHINGT0N-(NC)-The So
cial Action Department of the
National Catholic Welfare Con
ference has told Congress 1t fay-
ors the early enactment of a SEN
ate bill which would amend the
Fair Labor Standards Act to ex-
tend its protection to several mil
lion additional workers.
Backing for the proposed
amendment was given in testl-
mony to Msgr. George 6. Higgins,
director of the department, be-
fore the subcommittee on labor of
the Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare.
The amendment would broaden
the act to give minimum wage
and maximum hour protection to
workers excluded when the act
was passed in 1888. A variety of
working groups would be affect
ed. including employees IN agri-
cultural processing, retail stores,
restaurants, hotels and outside
statesmen.
Il Msgr. Higgins said passage of
the amendment would be boon
not only to the millions of work
ers directly affected by its cover
age provisions. but to the econ
omy as a whole" "
He said that the department is
particularly enthusiastic about
the fact that S. 1857, if enacted
would at long last extend the pro
lection of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act TO agricultural workers
on large industrial farms"
Protection for these persons Is
long overdue, he said. TO be
sure. all of the workers included
in the new coverage provisions
!. are in dire need of protection,
but none so much as those who
are employed in our So
called factories in the fields"
Msgr. Higgins said the argu-
ment that the states should han
die this type of legislation is
meaningless for all practical
purposes. He stated that latter
40 years of discussion of mini
mum wage legislation, action at
the state level is woefully incom-
plete and inadequate"
