More Than Human
WASHINGTON (/P>—AFL Pres
lieut William Green chided Con
41 ess today for planning to spend
more “for the protection of migra
tory birds and other wild life’’
than to “protect workers’ mini
mum wage standards.”
The labor leader said some six
million dollars was proposed to aid
wild life in the fiscal year begin-,
rung July 1, while the House "has
appropriated only $4,057,400 to
p otect workers’ minimum wage
standards.”
Green’s protest was to the Sen
ate appropriations sub-committee
which is reviewing some $14,000,
00 slashed out of operating funds
or the labor department by the
House.
The AFL president did not ask
for restoration of any specific
amounts but urged “adequate”
funds.
