excuse noncompliance with any Federal or State law or municipal
ordinance establishing a minimum wage higher than the minimum wage
established under this chapter or a maximum work week lower than
the maximum workweek established under this chapter, and no
provision of this chapter relating to the employment of child labor
shall justify noncompliance with any Federal or State law or
municipal ordinance establishing a higher standard than the
standard established under this chapter. No provision of this
chapter shall justify any employer in reducing a wage paid by him
which is in excess of the applicable minimum wage under this
chapter, or justify any employer in increasing hours of employment
maintained by him which are shorter than the maximum hours
applicable under this chapter.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter (other
than section 213(f) of this title) or any other law -
(1) any Federal employee in the Canal Zone engaged in
employment of the kind described in section 5102(c)(7) of title
5, or

instrumentality under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces,
shall have his basic compensation fixed or adjusted at a wage rate
that is not less than the appropriate wage rate provided for in
section 206(a)(1) of this title (except that the wage rate provided
for in section 206(b) of this title shall apply to any employee who
performed services during the workweek in a work place within the
