Labor experts indicated today that
workers in three indutries-manu-
featuring, wholesale trade and motor
carriers-would receive the greatest
benefit from the uatomatic change

On October "a the minimum wage
increases from 25 to 80 cents an
hour and the maximum work week
drops from A hours to AZ. ..
Isador Lubin, commissioner of
labor statistics, said in report that
the great bulk Of those persons
who received less than 30 cents an
hour or worked more than AZ hours
a week" were in the three industries.
About 12.3O0000 persons are en-
gagged in industries and occupa tions

100000 to 100000 received less than
80 cents an hour when survey was
made in April of this year.

Mr.. Lubin reported that 1880 900
worked more than ~ hours. but
noted that about $4,000 of this lat
ter group were receiving overtime
pay for time in excess of the AZ.
Labor officials estimate that total
wage increases expected to result

Mr.. Lubin said there was a
marked concentration" of workers
receiving less than 80 cents an hour
in the large industrial States of the
Northeast and in the South. He
placed the total number for those
States at about 100000.
Meanwhile, the Wage-Hour Ad-
ministration charged that certain
railroads are attempting to evade
payment of the minimum wage to
Red Caps by requiring them to ac-
count for tips and announced a
court test of the practice would be

Some Only Pay Difference.
According to the Wage-Hour Ad-

which the complaint is raised either
pay the Red Caps only the difference
between what they earn in tips and
what would be necessary to bring
the wage level to IS cents, or re-
quire them to show tip earnings o1

In condemning this practice the
