When the WPA was first consti tuted by Congress, and the principle in for the of stead of direct relief, was decided upon the idea was that WPA workers would be paid salaries sufficient to maintain them at minimum comfort levels in return for useful labor. Little trouble resulted so long as the work ers were put on jobs requiring no skill lawn cutting, pick-an- d shovel labor, etc. But when the 'made' work projects began requiring the aid of skilled workmen, such as electricians, carpenters and steam-fitter- s the craft labor unions let out a tre At this writing, WPA striker are thousand workers work-reli- able-bodie- ef n i U Dciilinra STANWYCK Jos! fKREA - PROBLEMS INSEPARABLE rEOM ) I HArPEXESGS THAT AFFECT lEE DIVNKH FAILS, DIVIDEND ?

On Friday evening a wedding dance was givea m "Not for a bride on her wedding day." Dick admitted. He took her hands, "1 love you, Mollie," be said soberly. "1 believe you do," Mollie said gravely, "but there'll be no talk of a weddin' till you've done as 1 gay." Dick studied her. A slow smile spread over his face. "It's the first time I've ever discarded aces for a queen," he said at last "Get the money bag. Let's go." Jeff and General Casement w.re In an angry discussion of the robbery when Mollie and Dick entered the General's car. Dick was carrying the bag of money. "It's sorry 1 am to be lnterrupln' you. General, but this belongs to you." she said as Dick tossed the mall sack on the desk. "It's the payroll." Jeff explained, as he examined the bullet holes. He turned the bag over. The bullets had not gone through. "Where did you find it?" Casement demanded. "Mr. Allen and 1 were on our way to Father Ryan to talk about gettla married,'' Mollie besan nervously. "We found the mail sack where the bandit dropped it on the railroad tracks." "Mollie, it's a medal you deserve for this," General Casement Eald warmly. "But if you're going to get married, it will have to be tonight. Father Ryan's church will be loaded on a flat car within an hour, bound for Laramie." Dick turned to Jeff. "You going to be best man, BuckoZ" Dick grluned. "Captain Butler has work to do." General Casement Interrupted. To Jeff he added. "I want the man who robbed that train, Butler. That's all." Jeff saluted. "Yes, sir," he said. He turned to Dick. "I hope you deserve her," he added before he turned and left the car. "We're all very grateful to you, Miss Monahan," Reed said, "and we'll give you a wedding tonight that will go down in history." Mollie was startled. She had agreed to marry Dick to save Jeff. But this was rushing things. She attempted to delay matters but to no avail. And so, despite Mollie's attempts to delay the ceremony, General Casement and Reed hurried the pair ot them to Father Ryan's small frame church.

Mollie came around the end of the counter. "Dick's been with me all evenin' waltin' to plight me his troth," she said. The tears were dangerously near the surface. "Dick was with you?" Jeff's tone was frankly sceptical. Fighting back the tears, Mollie added: "There nothln' in this car you want, Jeff." For a moment their eyes met before Mollie's dropped. "I guess you're right," Jeff said at last Turning, he strode down the steps into the night At a word from Dick, Brett and Cookie followed a moment later. Dick turned to Mollie. "Darling, you were glorious. How long will it take you to pack?" "Why did you do it. Dick?" Mollie demanded, when they were alone. Her voice was shaky. "We've a together to talk about that. Suppose we find out first if they've got lakes in Ireland the color of your eyes?" "Take off your sweet lip and say what you're meanin'."

Dick stared at her in life-tim- union members would inevitably force down the wage rates of workers in private industry and commerce. Whether or not this was true, Congress listened and thot it over carefully. At that time, union political influence was just about at its apex. The consequence was that Congress passed a law under which skilled WPA craftsmen would receive hourly rates of pay in accord with union standards in the locality invold ved but that these men would be allowed to work only enough hours to bring their total monthly compensation up to a maximum of $92.89. (This is the maximum in the big Eastern cities where cost of living is high; maximum is lower in the South, West and elsewhere where the cost of living tends lower.) The law went into effect, and a considerable confusion resulted. A electrician had to work but 46 hours a month for his out-of-wo- rk had to put in some 150 hours for the same money. Much criticism came from within the WPA as well as without.- WPA jobs were delayed because of the difficulties of coordinating work when some men worked only a third as much time as others. And this year Congress passed a new Relief Eill making a number of drastic in the principle of changes WPA administration. Biggest change was abolishment of the wage .differential, and the requirement of all WPA beneficiaries to work 130 hours a month, without any increase in wages. And the A. F. of L. craft unions, led by William Green, howled again. The WPA "union," the Workers Alliance, howled louder yet, and called the strike. No one knows exactly how many men walked out in some sections a majority did, and in others few did. WPA executives took a firm line and the dismissal order followed, apparently with Presidential approval. There is a considerable group in Congress which favors restoration of the wage .differential. But, at last this group has decided against pushing a bill to that end now it looks as if the strike found small public favor, and as if Congress at large solidly committed to the principle that WPA jobs are relief jobs and that workers have no right to As Newsweek phrases it, "The "PA strikers find themselves on the dubious ground of conducting a walk-u- t an employer who would against he mdney ahead if they would close down every job." Very high government officials have said that there can be no such thing as a successful strike against the Federal government, and that it cannot be recogniz- or arbitrated.
