agencies face the strange dilemma of being unable to find sufficient jabor This weird situation is the result of certain definite restrictions fund Two placed upon the spending of the $4000000000 work-reliof the most important restrictions are: 1 Ninety per cent of those employed on W P A projects must be on the dole 2 They must also be "employables” in other words among those thrown out of work by the depression and not the permanent "unemployables” whom the cities are supposed to take care of - Strange as it may seem these two restrictions have created such a condition in some areas that there just isn’t enough labor to go around Scores of projects actually are being held up a a result Stalled A confidential report lists suspended projects in almost every state Here are some characteristic examples: Florida— Marlon and Citrus counties three schools Uncom‘ pleted owing to lack of skilled labor Texas —Seven counties unable to proceed on projects owing to lack of both skilled and unskilled workers Kansas— Five counties faced with same difficulty New Hampshire — All eligible relief labor at work and hundreds more needed in ail sections of the state Mississippi— Eleven counties in need of all types of workers Solutions Two solutions are being urged on the president: 1 To retain the present restrictions but grant exemptions where work actually is being held up 2 To expand federal relief rolls so as to increase the number of eligible workers The second course is being advocated by states and cities since it Would mean the lifting of a large burden from their shoulders But' the president's attitude is anything but favorable He maintains that such an expansion would add materially to the expense of the federal government at & time when his critics are clamoring for a balanced budget i 1 peda-gogu- es Merry-Go-Rou- black-gowne- black-gowne- : s 1 |
