"In every Industry covered by a

approximately 81 per cent of the
women and minors employed in these
industries were receiving more than
the minimum rates fixed by law.
"The minimum wage law has not
caused q reduction In the number of

Probe Lobby"

Plans to block the passage of the
Ball rent extension bill. engineered
by real estate interests, under the
leadership of Henry T. Brigham,
housing expert" of Boston, are BIT
teriy resented in the Senate.
The measure is slated to come UP
In the Senate next week as soon as
the treaty and the judges bill has
been disposed of. Senator Ball con-
ferred with members of the steering
committee yesterday and reached an
Agreement whereby the rent bill will
be made 1.-THE unfinished business of
the Senate" as soon as q vote Is
reached on the judicial reorganization
measure. .,.ti.s. .-....
The proposal that action upon the
rent bill should be delayed until
after the local Housing Commission
has made its report Is ridiculed
among senators who believe that 1t
is imperative that the Rent Com
mission law should be extended be-
fore 1t expires on May %.

House Committee into a lobbying
agency to fight rent legislation in
Congress he will have a real fight
on his hands II Is declared.
Mr, Brigham's past activities in
Washington are well known, and his
present re-entry into the Washington
housing situation is due to the fact
that he has been sponsored by Sen
atof- Henry Cabot Lodge and by First
Assistant Postmaster General Bart
lett. who until recently was a mem-
bers Of the Civil Service Commission
and is the former governor of New
Hampshire.
Mr.. Bartlett is the recent pur-
chaser OF business property In Wash

In realty ciHcles is taking hand in
the fight to prevent the inclusion Of
business property In the scope Of the
Ball act. ~ 3. ~ n. y.
