The three delegates from the
Locals of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union of Dallas
have returned with a report on the
minimum wage law which organ-
ized labor has been trying to get
passed in this session of Congress.
At the present time, the mini-
mum wages are 75c per hour on
- certain industries which are in
interstate commerce.
These delegates along with some
200 more, seek a minimum wage
of $1.25 per hour. Of the con-
gressmen and senators interview-
ed, all but one was for a raising
of the covered group but most
thought that $1.10 or an even dol-
lar might the scale, said Mrs.
Dorothy Healey, president of Lo-
cal 348, I.L.G.W. U. Mrs. Healy
is also reading clerk of the Dal-
las Central Labor Council.
The other delegates were Mrs.
Winona Whalen and Mrs. Evelyn
Boy.
Congressman Bruce Alger was
the , one who told the delegates
"that he believed he would need to
be shown that a higher minimum
was needed,” they declared on
their return to Dallas via Ameri-
can airlines.
Mrs. Healy said that the im-
pression to the delegates was that
Labor’s League is not trying to
raise $100 million of $200 million,
of course. But the dollars that
working people give to the League
may be just enough to help their
friends over a financial barrier
and send them winging away to
victory at the polls.

workers of the south were satis-
fied with the present wage scale.
“This is not so, however,” she
stated “and I think we convinced
our representatives of that fact."
All of the delegates said that
those in favor of the bill felt that
a smaller figure might be agree-
able. They named Senators Lyn-
don Johnson and Price Daniel as
favoring the bill, also Speaker
of the House, Sam Raybum, Paul
Kilday, as Democratic congress-
men from other districts in Texas
as favoring the minimum wage

SIMPLE HANDBAGS GOOD
Regardless of the season, you
usually carry a handbag with you.
Fashion changes are fairly slow
in handbags, so they are often
used from one season to another.
With this in mind, it’s wise to ze-

cation . . . (during) the 1955 fund-
raising campaign which is now
under way.
Five families gave the reaction-
aries groups $202,000 during the
1954 campaign.
Judging by what was reported,
Congressional Quarterly said:
“The 1954 Congressional election
was the most expensive since
1948."
Thus the true cost of electing
the 84th Congress the one which
was elected in 1954—must have
been more than $100 million or
$200 million which the New York
Times “informed guessers estimat-
ed was spent in electing the 83rd
Congress in 1952.
Now look at what Labor’s
League spent in two years—in
1953 and 1954. The total was ex-
actly $511,418.91.
That means that the League
spent about five cents for each
