"Overworked, Underpaid"

Members of the Senate received, by mail, a petition from The Association of Overworked, Underpaid Dishwashing Housewives whose headquarters are "by the cookstove and the cradle, with the wash tub nearby."

Two striking clauses of the petition: "We believe Congress should legislate less and less for industrial workers and more and more for the relief of the overworked, underpaid dishwashing housewives.

"We believe Congress should realize that 80% of the members of the House and 60% of the Senate are paid now a sum in excess of what the service rendered by them to the people is worth."
