    (a) When the terms ``employer'', ``employee'', and ``wage'' are used 
in this chapter in relation to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as 
amended [29 U.S.C. 201 et seq.], they shall have the same meaning as 
when used in such Act of 1938.
    (b) When the term ``employer'' is used in this chapter in relation 
to the Walsh-Healey Act [41 U.S.C. 35 et seq.] or Bacon-Davis Act [40 
U.S.C. 276a et seq.] it shall mean the contractor or subcontractor 
covered by such Act.
    (c) When the term ``employee'' is used in this chapter in relation 
to the Walsh-Healey Act [41 U.S.C. 35 et seq.] or the Bacon-Davis Act 
[40 U.S.C. 276a et seq.] it shall mean any individual employed by the 
contractor or subcontractor covered by such Act in the performance of 
his contract or subcontract.
    (d) The term ``Wash-Healey Act'' \1\ means the Act entitled ``An Act

contracts by the United States, and for other purposes'', approved June 
30, 1936 (49 Stat. 2036), as amended [41 U.S.C. 35 et seq.]; and the 
term ``Bacon-Davis Act'' means the Act entitled ``An Act to amend the

    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``Walsh-Healey Act''.

any State of the United States or the District of Columbia or any
