wide campaign for a minimum wage

the National Federation of Federal
Employees, according to an announce
ment by Luther {. Stewart, president
of the federation. The proposal con-
templates an amendment TO the elas-
sification law, as introduced by Con
gfessman Flaherty of California. The
federation has locals in every part Of
the United States and its possessions.
IF congress accepts Mr.. Flaberty's
bill it will bring tardy justice to the
large group of low-paid workers in
the government service" said Presi-
dent Steward. Employees in the Gus
todial service are in the greatest need
for congressional attention. This group
includes charwomen, men and women
cleaners, watchmen, guards, elevator
operators and Others engaged in the
maintenance of public buildings. For
charwomen paid by the hour, the
rate of GO cents is provided with 60
cents for head charwomen.
Existing rates for professional
service are not changed, as the Flah-
erty bill would bring a living wage TO
the low paid employees"
