Some 70 new Republican faces are in the House of Representatives. And when the test came they voted solidly again required appropriations for the WPA, and their leaders insulted those who are compelled to seek relief work through no fault of their own. For the benefit of the members of Congress, we say that the WPA workers are just plain citizens. There are a few lazy ones among them about the same as there are among the members of Congress. Surely they lean on their shovels sometimes, even as Congressmen do. It is so easy to criticize, so easy to misrepresent, that it makes us feel indignant over the absolute misrepresentation in relation to men on WPA and their work. Such criticism is the expression of men who have had no training or experience in industry, and Congress has a large number of such men. The great opportunity that has faced and now faces the Congress is to convert this enormous idleness into permanently valuable improvements. Congress has been failing to do this because Congressmen have mistaken parsimony for economy. Greetings to Labor Life NEWS AND COMMENT Agency Health Accident Insurance GENERAL AGENTS (Continued from page 2) has been flowing so freely by the Drys in the State capitol during the sessions of the Legislature that the new Governor and both Houses of the Legislature have come forward with a demand that drinking within the Capitol must cease. The ban upon liquor is considered to be a direct result of gencriticism by the eral State-wid- e Wets and of the positive action of Governor Leon C. Phillips, who took office January 9. Liquor flowed so freely m the halls and .offices of the Capitol two years ago that it created widespread press comment. At no time has there been any charges that the drinking parties were spon sored by any members of the legitimate liquor industry. Oklahoma, however, has been a bootleggers paradise since repeal of the 18th amendment. Governor Phillips, who voted wet-blo- c while with the a member of the House of Representatives upon the question of whether or not the liquor question should be submitted to the people, because I consider it their right to. decide, is a, personal Dry. He once considered entering the ministry and still retains many of those high religious ideals in per sonal habits. Governor Phillips entered a clear warning during party meetings, following his election, that there would be no liquor in the current session of the Legislature.
