SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT Min imum Wage Law] Should Be Extended By U.S. Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif.) Member, Houte Education ami l.al>f>r Commit ter Continuing his efforts to improve the lot pf the low paid worker, President Johnson has asked Congress to extern! the mini* mum wage law to about 500,000 American workers still re*

ceiving substandard wages. Too many American 'workers have been exempt from the provisions of this legislation since it was first enacted in 19 58. These include employees in food processing industries, large laundries, small logging operations, and employees of restaurants, hotels" and motels. These latter workers are among the lowest paid in the country, and- their wages have been lagging further and further behind those workers subject to the minimum wage law. Important improvements in the minimum

wage law came in 1961. Prior to that, 24 million workers were subject to the Fair l abor Standards provisions, including its minimum wage, maximum hours, overtime pay, and child labor standards. The 1961 amendments extended coverage to J. 6 million more workers, abo t 2.2 million of whom are employed in the retail trade. Oh September J, 1961, the day these amendments became . e lf ective, wage for employees already covered by the Act was increased from SI.OO to $1.15 an hour. This was raised to $1.25 on September J, 1965 For employees newly subject to the Act, the amendment set a minimum wage of SI.OO an hour until September J of this year, when a raise to $1.15 an hour goes into effect for one year. By September J, 1965, all 27.5 — million workers covered by. the provisions of the Fair labor Standards Act will be entitled to a wage of at least $1.25 an hour and not less than time and one half for hours exceeding 40 in a week.

—~ , .i ■ 1.,.,. • . tru estinr.tred thar nvrhe first year of application, the increased minimum wage added $5 56 million to the annual income of workers covered prior to the imendments, and S2HO million to the annual income of workers newly subject to the requirements. Since that time, additional raises under the provisions of the 1961 amendments have added another $56 5 million to the pay envelopes of these American workers. On June JI, 1964‘g a new basic labor standard was adoed to the l air Labor Standards Act —equal pay for equal work, regardless of whether the worker is a man or woman. The prohibition of wage discrimination based on sex was a matter of simple justice to an important ami growing part of the nation’s work force. Bills designed to effectuate 111 c iillniniiiin w.ige proj><is.ils of the Johnson Administration are now before Congress. Those not now covered have much to gain from a successful outcome in this round of the fight against poverty.

I Two Questioned ■ On Robberies . GARY, Ind. <UPII — Two men arrested following a telephone ' tip to a Gary detective were qu<| jined today regarding a string of armed robberies in three states. Robert Dofford and Bernard Wil on surrendered without resis'ance early Monday when Det. Sgt. James Hilton and eight other officers surprised them at the hotel where they were staying. Authorities from Fort Wayne and Chicago came here Monday to question them and they were also reported wanted for questioning in connection with a series of 30 robberies in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Police said federal charges also were expected to be filed against them. Hilton said he was roused from bed early Monday by a caller who telep honed to say he had driven the men here and that they were hiding in a local hotel. He warned that they were heavily armed. Dofford. Wilson and a third man were arrested ‘earlier this year at Fort Wayne but Dofford and Wilson later escaped. Fire Department Extinguishes Burning Mower - A riding mower being used at the city's disposal plant on the Monmouth road, broke out in flames Monday .afternoon, requiring the local firemen to extinguish the blaze. One of the city employees was mowing when the vehicle broke out in flames, believed caused from a burst gasoline line. Firemen quickly put out the blaze, and damage was estimated at about SSO.

Open the table far enough to receive the roller vjjiich is held on the table-top supports — or open the table to a crack about 5 2 :i the width of the poller diameter. to serve as a "V" block. Place thef shade cloth parallel with one side of the table to square it with the roller, then staple the cloth to the roller. Heat Marks , Those unsightly white heat marks on table tops can often be removed by rubbing with a hard paraffin wax candle, then cover- ' ing with plotting paper, and pressing with a warm iron. Repeat this process, if necessary. Afterward, rub well with a soft cloth to restore the finish. Ice Cube Supply During hot weather it seems to take ages for a batch of ice cubes to freeze. If you'll leave several ice cubes in each tray when refilling, this will help to speed up the chilling and freezing process of the water.
