Aug. 80 -( The senate overrode administr- tion leaders tonight and voted tor exempt from coverage of the wagat and hour law some workers , now covered. Senatoif Pepper (D-Fla estimated the number at 200.000. The senate accepted hf a 50 to 23 rollcall vote an amendment by Senator Holland) (D-Fla) to limif the number of employed of retail and -service establishments cover ed bv the act. I I Nirht Session Vote . ; The vote was I taken at a nighl session held fin an effort to speed! final action on a bill to hike th present minimum wage of 44 cents an hour t6 75 cents. A fei minutes later a recess was called until tomorrow. A bill to boost the wage floor already passed by the house in- eludes an amendment identical with that offerjd by Holland. f " Pepper, leading the fight against the amendment said it would have the effect of "clarifying th law all right but at the expense of 200.000 work ers" now covered Both Holland and Senator Taft (R-Ohio) disputed that. The said the amendment would sim plv reaffirm what congress origin nally intended when it exempted employes of retail and service Establishments. f Tuft Head Support f Taft. the republican policy leadf er. had earlier port behind the he favors "as a thrown his sup bill which he said whole." - f Democratic Leader Lucal (111) told the senators that if thev pas the bill by tomorrow . nipht he will move for la long Labor day recess, through next Tuesday. Memwhile, this might involve night sessions, e said. Republican leaders indicated they would go along with the, plan. . Taft said th.it while the pro posed increase would step up the minimum wacej in interstate com merce industries by B74 per cent, this was not out of line with in creases in pay for most indus tries and businesses. f Taft said tht unless minimum wages are lifted, considerable in equality will exist between un organized wage earners and those in unions. f Senator Pepper (D-Fla). who is floor manager j for the bill, said it had been stripped of several controversial provisions in an ef fort . to assure congressional ac tion this session.
