Glass and Byrd, Democrats, of Vir.

Labor Standards Act.
Copies of the letters, which refer
to amendments that would increase
the minimum wage rate to IS cents
an hour and extend the act to some
workers not now benefited, were
sent to Virginia House members.
Mr.. Payton, in his letter, de.
clared this particular problem is
so vital to the vast majority of the
