C., THURSDAY, ORDER FOR COPPE BY NAVY UNFILLED Government Contract Act Is Held Responsible for Lack of Bidders. BY the Associated Press. The Navy was in the market today for 2,600,000 pounds of copper, but could find nobody willing to sell. This strange situation was due, Navy officials said, to the new Walsh- Healey Government contract act. The act provides that concerns which make contracts of more than $10,000 with the Government must pay “prevailing” wages as determined by the Secretary of Labor, must establish & 40-hour maximum work week and employ no child labor. ‘The Navy's bids were to be opend yesterday, but no bids appeared. Navy officials immediately made known they would discuss the situation with Secre- tary of Labor Perkins. Operating 48 Hours a Week. Although no6 comment could be ob- tained here directly from large copper companies, persons usually well in- |’ formed said many Western copper | mines were operating 48 hours a‘week. The Navy also disclosed that an un- usually small number of bids were | submitted yesterday for the complete East Coast fuel oll supply for the Navy, War, Treasury, Commerce and Labor Departments during the first quarter of 1937. Not more than two bids were sub- mitted for any one lot. No bid ap- peared for one 170,000-barrel order. Only one bid was received for a contract for 3,500 tons of steel to be used in new ships under the Navy's building program. This bid, depart- ment officials said, was unsatisfactory. Exemption Requests Received. Although she had not been advised officially of the copper, oil and steel | situations, Miss Perkins said both | Government purchasing agencies and | private businesses had made requests | for exemptions from the act. The Navy Department, she said, | might ask for exemptions in the pres- ent cases. Some Government officials said the upswing in business the Nation over | might be more responsible than the | Walsh-Healey act for an increasing trend of private industry to steer clear of Government contracts.
