Senate Majority PVT. A. T. AMABON, JR. Equal Pay For Women Bill Passed Working woman would bt guar- afitttd a equal to that paid men for tht work in Industry under a bill approved unanimously yy the Assembly and sent to the Senate yesterday.

The measure, sponsored by Assemblywoman Jane H. Todd of Westchester County, specifically would prohibit discrimination in pay rates because of sex and would cover all workers except domestic servants, farm labor and women employed by charitable, religious or other non-profitmaking groups. Miss Todd, in introducing the bill, backed by several women's groups, said at "represents the concerted thinking of women on the assembly line, in business and in the professions" who feel it "would act as an economic stabilizer." The Assembly also approved and referred to the Senate bills which would: Make it illegal to charge more than $1 above the regular tariff price for railroad, steamship, airline, and bus ticket. Increase annual minimum pay of New Tork City police and firemen by $450 over the July 1, 1943, level, if approved by city voters on a popular referendum.

Lender Benjamin Feinberg said it was "not necessary at this time."

The bill was sponsored by Minority Leader John J. Dunnigan the Senate. By a strict party vote, 59 to 79, the lower house Monday night rejected a motion by Democratic Minority Leader Irwin Stiengut, coauthor of the plan to set $100,000,000 for bonuses for men and wo- men in the armed forces, to have the proposal brought to the floor for a vote. Republican Majority Leader Irving M.

Ivee, Chenango, led the attack on the measure, charging that it had been offered for "political motives." He also contended that the veterans were opposed to the measure. "The veterans do not want to do anything about the bonus at this time." he said. "What they want us to do is to iave jobs ready for them when they come home. That is what we are working on." Ives said the proposal also failed to provide sufficient funds and that under the plan the WMM receive less than $100. Steingut replied that playing politics "hit below the belt" and that "we are trying to do everything possible to help the veteran when he comes home, which we iiope will be coon." He said that if $100,000,000 was not enough he was ready to add $50,000,000 TOWNSEKD CLUB.
