Mr.. Gross told the House
with this Nation wallowing in
debt, yet indulging in the fic-

It's this type of criticism
that are making members Of
Congress hesitant to vote
themselves pay raises, ever
though most of them want one
very much. In turn, the chanc-

Morse Blasts
Opponents Of
WageBiI|
By GRACE BASSETT
star staff Writer

Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, last night dashed out
at the Metropolitan Washing
ton Board Of Trade for oppos-
ing a minimum wage bill for
the District.
His outburst on the Senate
floor contrasted with the silent
reception he gave Board of
Trade testimony the night be-
fore at a District Subcommittee
hearing.
Il sat there appalled,, that in
1868 an official representative
of the Washington Board Of
Trade and an official represent
ative of a great department
store in the District were OPP
posing S1.25 an hour as a min
imum wage for breadwinners, ="
Senator Morse said.
Witnesses had been William
Press, executive vice president
of the board, and Mrs. Jean
Sisko Of Woodward and 10TH
rop. Mr.. Press warned the min
imum wage would work an
economic hardship in the city
because labor could be hired
for less money in Marylan
and Virginia suburbs subject to
no minimum wage laws. Mrs
SiSko said the law would upset
progress being made between
the retail industry and the La
Dor Department on wages and
hours.
Another argument Of the
Board of Trade was that the
proposed wage minimum would
force the unskilled, the aged
and the handicapped out OF
Jobs onto unemployment COM
pensation and relief rolls.
II would not think of digni-
flying that kind Of testimony by
wasting any time in question
ing" Senator Morse told his
colleagues on the floor.
He said the boards "long
chain" Of unrelated arguments
typified "its lack of social con-
science"
II suggest to the Washington
Board Of Trade that 1t needs to
do a little housekeeping
sweeping out some of the i'm
proper business practices which
prevail in the District" the
Senator added. This was a ref
erence to high interest rates
charged by some stores on over
due credit accounts.
But he said his wife had
stopped buying at one District
store because it charged 6 per
cent monthly interest on I'M
paid accounts.
Such usurious interest rates
apparently are quite common
in the District of Columbia, 4"

senior member of the Senate
District Committee.
