The Walsh -Healy Act governs minimum wages paid by industries doing business with the government. The Secretary of Labor determines the prevailing minimum of an imlustry. In ti.r clarification of the word "locality" Fulbright argued that Congress meant locality to designate a local area.

He said Tobtns' establishment of 'single nation-wide minimum wages for specific industries" has tended increase prices and wages and lo discourage small firms from trying to obtain government contracts. of ArkuiMi.
