Under the bill as reported by the cornmitte Federal workers and maritime workers would be paid under the laws in Effect in the State in which they worked. The committee. I believe. based upon representations made to them by the Governors of the various States. sometimes in contradiction to the representations made by the attorneys general of the same States. has failed wholly to recognize the fact that the large working centers incident to this war were built up by migrant workers. who in peacetime largely would have no place there. That applies to Federal and maritime workers just the same as it applies to other workers for allegedly private industries whcih. however. met their pay roll from the Government Treasury. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to a rather peculiar situation which would arise if we accept the interpretation of the committee.
