Secretary Ickes said today he thought
1t was proper for President Roosevelt

on his own theory that United States
Senator represents more than the
people Of the State which elected him.

In Maryland. Senator Tydings was

he has legislated for all the United

GORMAN ASSA|LS
WAGE COMMITTEE
Says High Pay Sections
Of Textile Industry Were
Ignored by Andrews.
Ply the Associated Press,

PS the Associated Press.
Francis Y German, president of
G. I. O.'s United Textile Workers
Union, today criticized the makeup
of the new Wage Hour Committee for
the textile industry and charged that
the hlgh-wage sections of the industry
were not given a voice on the COM
mittee.
Elmer F. Andrews, Federal wage
hour administrator, selected the 21-
member committee Tuesday to study
the wage and competitive conditions
IN the production Of cotton, silk and
rayon and determine the highest mini
mum wage up to 40 cents an hour that
the industry should be able to pay
100000 workers involved.
In a letter to Administrator An
drews formally protesting against the
section OF the committee picked to
represent textile workers, Mr.. German
complained that only two of the seven
labor Representatives were practical
textile workers.
IN addition, he asserted that neither
the Northern cotton workers nor the
oyelng and finishing division of the
industry were given representation,
lhese two groups he classified as the
comparatively high-wage" sections Of
tne INDUSTRY and said they favored 40
cents an hour.
Mr.. German said, in response to a
question, that he considered Paul
Christopher, Charlotte, N. c.. and
Ellzaoeth Nord. Manchester. Conn
the only"two practical textile workers
on the committee Both are connected
with c. I. O.'s Textile Workers
Organizing Committee, which claims
to have taken over the United Textile
Workers Organization, former A. F.
OF L. affiliate.
The other five members of the labor
group are Sidney Hillman, chairman
CT the T. w. o. c.: Emil Rieve. Phila-
delphia, head of the hosiery workers
union; r. r. Lawrence of Atlanta, and
Francis Fenton of Boston and H. A.
