(1) Let the function $f(x) = |x - 2| + |x + a|$. If the inequality $f(x) \geq 3$ always holds for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, find the range of values for the real number $a$.
(2) Given positive numbers $x, y, z$ that satisfy $x + 2y + 3z = 1$, find the minimum value of $\frac {3}{x} + \frac {2}{y} + \frac {1}{z}$.
