The Federal Wage-Hour Law administered under the Fair Labor Standards Act, sets $1 per hour at the Federal minimum wage and time-and-a-half for overtime based on the employee's regular rate for time worked in excess of a 40-hour week. This is for all persons working in jobs covered by the act, which take in some 24 million workers out of the total U.S. civilian labor force of 69 million. The U.S. Labor Department has cited instances where wages are low as 35 and 40 cents per hour were paid. Investigations for the fiscal year 1959 revealed a total minimum wage underpayment of $22,403,116, involving 177,900 workers throughout the country. The Labor Department reported that minimum wage underpayments amount to $77,381 for the Los Angeles area in 1959. A shortage in overtime compensation for the area totaled $973,169, nearly doubling the amount turned up in 1958. Are these figures indicative? CHICAGO.—Mrs. Gerry Reed, 30, 1734 E.
