The house then went on and scut th whole controversy back to th labor committee, where it rests with no hope ot getting out until next year. A minimum wage bill waa the first administration labor measure to reach Capital Hill after the new rengreia got to town last January.

The senile labor committee has approved a bill raising the minimum to 73 cents, and making a few other changes, but omitting any large- scale Increase In coverage.
