Fair Wage Committee
 Appointed By Tone
Laundry Industry of State, Employing 5000 Women
 Regarded Among Lowest Paid Occupations

arch Laundry company of New Ha- ven, Karl Geissler of the Individual Laundry Service company of Stam- ford, and Harry c. Lydiard of the Sunshine Laundry company of Hartford will represent employers. MT. Dobbs is president of the Con- necticut Laundry Owners associa- ton.
 Ernploye representatives will be Miss Helen Halloran of Litchfield, Mrs. Ann Norin of Windsor and Harold Feinmark of New Haven, the commissioner also disclosed.
 MT. Tone explained that the board has been appointed as part of a broad program launched some time ago by the department of labor in an effort to end sweatshop wages in Connecticut. A branch of the mems pants industry was first in- vestigated and after careful con- Isideration by the minimum wage ad- visory board it was decided that laundrieS be next.
 Laundry Industry
 ''The laundry industry employing about 5000 women, is one of the lowest paid occupations in the state," MT. Tone pointed out. Last spring half the women in a representative group of those estab- lishments received less than 30.3 cents an hour, and 43 per cent made less than $12,0O0 for weeks work. Such wages are far lower than those paid unskilled hands in other Connecticut industries even though laundry work is very hot and heavy"
 Numerous complaints have been received, he said, from women em- ployes and from social welfare agencies, that laundry wages are inadequate and that the health of female workers often suffers as a result. Moreover, a number of own CTS have requested him to establish minimum rate for all Connecticut laundries since employers who are voluntarily paying fair wages are losing business to cut rate concerns which can charge exceptionally low prices because they underpay their help.
 New York and Massachusetts have minimum wages for laundry workers and Rhode Island is about to adopt a similar plan. Connecti- cut cannot afford to lag behind in the protection of its workers" he said.

PLAINTIFF WINS
 JUDGES RULING
Amendments Unnecessary in Complaint Filed in In=
 junction Proceedings

No additions or detractions from the complaint compiled by Attorney John H. Cassidy in the superior court action to halt construction of a gasoline station at the corner of Cooke street and Woodlawn terrace, will be necessary, Judge Frank P. McEvoy decided today.
 Judge McEvoy, in a terse decision unaccompanied by memorandum denied two motions presented by the defense, which if granted, would have made it necessary for Attorney | Cassidy to make considerable alter ations on his very descriptive con- plaint.
 The defense would have Attorney Cassidy make certain of his terms more specific, and on the other hand, eliminate others entirely.
 The suit is that of Max Blumen and other residents of the Cooke street section, against Building h. spector Patrick J. Carlin, Daniel T. Harrington, and others. It was filed after the board of aldermen grant, ed MT. Harrington permission to erect the gasoline station at the site in question, by changing the single lot from the residential to the busi- ness bone.
 A temporary injunction has been granted restraining MT. Harrington from proceeding with the construc- tion of the station, pending the actual trial of the case. The plain tiffS have posted bond of $1,000 by order of the court at the time the injunction was granted.
 The defense counsel at the argu- mentS over alteration of complaint were Attorney Max Traurig and At torney Richardson Bronson.
