Dr. Mead and Assistant Secretary Dixon said that the contractor, at the eginning of work on the project, vol- untarily increased the prevailing wage rate by 50 cente daily. This was de- spile the fact, they poiunted out, that the act of Congress requiring contras wis on Federal projects to maintain the average prevalling wage rate was passed | after the Hoover Dam contract was signed Dr. Mead explained the sirike was an outgrowth of the proffer by the con- tractor to give 30 men, who had been employed in the tunnel and whose serv- ices were no longer required. outside employment at & wage rate $1 per day lower than they had been receiving. ‘The higher scale obtains for work in | the diversion tunnels due to the work- ing condittons, Heat at Site Excessive.
