Considerable doubt seems to be arising in many quarters whether Doubt the New Dealers are quite as much Arisea concerned over uplifting living standards of the poor as they are concerned over their votes in the fall elections. These doubts which are now in the form of a flood of inquiries obviously arise from two incidents which have occurred here in the nations capital. Rather, there were three incidents, for it was the first action that made the other two incidents significant. Let us take them up in order to get a good view of the circumstances: First, President Roosevelt lately has signed the new wage and hour law. Under its terms, wages paid employees and the hours which they work throughout the nation now become a matter of federal jurisdiction if the employers of those workers buy or sell anything outside of the state in which the plant or factory actually is located. That is to say, any business operating in interstate commerce must now comply with a federal law as to wages paid and hours worked, and meet the regulations laid down by a Washington bureaucrat after the law becomes effective October 24, 1938. None of these employees may work more than 44 hours a week (five and days of eight hours) nor can they be paid less than 25 cents per hour during the first year of the law. In the second year, the number of hours is reduced to 42 per week and the rate of pay rises to 30 cents per hour. Thereafter, the work week is fixed at 40 hours and the lowest rate of pay at 40 cents an hour. The provisions naturally will apply to nearly all individual manufacturing because few of them can exist by selling only in their home localities. Agriculture is not affected by the law, so that farmers are privileged, for once, to pay for what they get in the way of services and not be under orders from Washington. This is the law that was fought off so long by senators and representatives from the southern states. They demanded that some consideration be given the employers of the South where conditions are decidedly different from other parts of the United States. They did not get a complete differential in the scales but they obtained a compromise that permits the new bureaucrat, the wage administrator, to consider the costs of living to some extent. Living costs in the South generally have been lower than elsewhere and some types of labor in southern areas are recognized as not being as efficient. Passage of the act with some leeway of flexibility was believed likely to solve these problems of the South. That brings us now to the second of the incidents. Mr. Roosevelts signature to the wage and hour bill was affixed on a Saturday. On Sunday, Harry Hopkins, chief of WPA, the professional reliever of the administration, issued an announcement. By the terms of the order he released, all unskilled workers in the 13 southern states something like 500,000 working on relief payrolls were treated to a pay raise. In addition, some other classes of WPA workers were given a pay boost, but the numbers were not disclosed. Certainly, they are fewer than the class known as unskilled workers. The action was taken, Mr. Hopkins explained' in his announcement, pursuant to a general administration policy of bringing income lev-els of the lowest paid workers of the South more nearly in line with the income levels of such workers in other parts of the country. one-ha- lf It will be recalled also that while debate was at its hottest in congress, Roosevelt Mr. Hophina into the deep went Anawera gouth to lecture low wage levels. on the employers He spoke at Gainesville, Ga., in vigorous language to the effect that the South was being held back because employers were paying wages that were too low to maintain a satisfactory standard of living.of That arguspeech came in the midst ment by southern members of congress that even WPA was paying lower levels in the South than elsewhere and employers should not be compelled to accept a new drain on their production costs. Thus, we see Mr. Hopkins has an swered both arguments. By increashas ing the WPA levels of pay, he of the mouths the sealed effectively southern opponents of the WPA and at the same time has forced the industries about which Mr. Roosevelt complained to meet a new kind of competition for workers. Anyone who knflws anything about the factors that govern wages, and they are all very human conditions, recognizes that southern industries will have to increase their pay rates or watch WPA lake over the workers. For it remains as a fact that certain types of persons will work regprefer to go on WPA than work does even if t ic regular the -- wage-ho- ularly, ur provide a somewhat greater money return each week. That condition results from the fact WPA has had such a loose system of planning the work to be done and to the further fact that among the WPA labor there has been absolutely no discipline; no one who can compel a full days work for a full days pay. It is one of the tragedies, dark and dangerous, of the present system of relief that men are taught to loaf on the job instead of working that their families may have somewhat more of food and clothes and things to enjoy life. But, as treacherous as the Hopkins policy appears from what has been stated, there is yet a very much worse angle. It can be traced through most easily. By raising the WPA pay levels in the South, Mr. Hopkins thereby forced new levels of pay in the industries of the South. I have visited many parts of the South and I believe I can safely say that few manufacturing establishments have been able to avoid losses in their operations during the last eight years. By raising the WPA levels and bringing about a competition for the available workers, Professor Hopkins saddled upon the industries an added burden of expense. From some parts of the South, I hear that this added payroll cost will mean the closing of some plants; others are going to continue operation and try to get their money back by increasing the prices of their products. That means the consumers will pay the bill. It causes me to wonder whether it will do the workers any good to have more money when prices of the things they use are hiked up at the same time. The above explanation was given at some length as prelude to the real effect of the Real Objective boost and what believe to be the real objec tive of the New Deal action. If WPA and industrial pay levels are higher in the South, then it becomes obvious that the exemptions and differentials which the southern senators and representatives thought they obtained are absolutely and completely nullified. The New Dealers who have the Presidents ear have whipped the devil around the stump; they have accomplished by indirection that which congress rejected as a direct action, and they have tossed the southern members of the Democratic party straight to the wolves. So, now we can consider the third movement of the symphony that has caused doubts to arise concerning the sincerity of the program. This chorus was sung by Aubrey Williams, assistant WPA administrator No. 2 man for Mr. Hopkins. He, It was adtoo, made a speech. dressed to the Workers Alliance, which is an organization that has gone so far as to participate in strikes among WPA workers to force the United States government to do its bidding. The Workers Alliance bigwigs came to Washington to fight against a proposed WPA cut in pay for artists and actors. They said they represented something like 200,000 WPA workers, and naturally the WPA workers must contribute something out of their pittance to support of the organization. Well, Mr. Williams advised the WPA workers to stick together." He urged them to discover who are your friends at election time. We've got to stick together," Weve got to said Mr. Williams. keep our friends in power. I don't need to tell you. You know your friends very well, or must blow them. Just judge the folks who come and ask your support (at elections) by the crowd they run with. . . . The same goes for painting and writing, keeping up these things. The men who stand for this sort of thing are the men you are going to send to the elections by winning in the primaries. There were repercussions against the Williams outburst, and the senate investigating committee may call the speaker but I doubt it. The senate, you will remember, defeated four amendments to the $5,000,000,-00- 0 bill that were designed to keep the distributors of relief money out of politics. Isnt it rather difficult to believe this money is being used solely for relieving the destitute? WPA 1 borrowing-lending-spendi- ( Wcftcrn Nawapapor Union.
