Observation-Disclosures Reduced
On Government Works
What Contractors on Local Projects Are Doing.

Voumnous correspondence introduced the House by Rep
resentatve Kvae and others concusve that many
instances contractors for Federal construction projects have
been reducing the wages of building trade mechanics and
ignoring the efforts of President Hoover have contractors
maintain wages pre-depression basis
So widespread has become this attitude of contractors for
Federal contracts that vigorous protests have been made by
Congressional delegations Federal departments and esab
ishments without results
The truth that the Government power
prevent contractors depressing wages much they like
reapng for themselves financial proportion
what they would have been had community wage scales been
maintained.
On Government jobs the wages first mechanics
have been cut in half.
The charge made that in several District Columbia
tracts reducing schemes used with the bringing
OF outside mechanics and bores dspace local workers
law governing the letting of local as the
Federal laws Lowest responsible bidders get the contracts
no matter what their labor policies.
There is way of compelling contractors to local
workers at local scales Even if there is voluntary
promise to do this the promise be violated at will
Neither Federal District officials have any power
force contractors do the thing by skilled and
skilled workers
Congress, which knows all about these undesirable
conditions in all directions could quickly change District
laws by requiring that in all contracts local labor should be
used at prevailing scales The District Commissioners
could be allowed latitude in letting contracts
In fact much be done by Congress put stop
plotting the Federal Government and the District Government
at the expense of American workers and at sacrifice of all
efforts to maintain living wages at critical time in the
country's history.

BY Elsie Robinson

ness if you gave it to them.
They actually don't want to be
happy, in spite Of their whines
and wheezes. They prefer being
martyrs, because it is one of
the quickest and Surest ways of
grabbing the spotlight. It is
useless to dry. their tears. Get
ting their tears dried is the
best thing they do. They are
professionals at it.
OF course If you want to
make a human blotter Of your
self, hop to it. But I warn
you, from extensive personal eX-
perience, that you can blot and
blot n BLOT and they'll still
drip despair.
Just EgOtiSm, Folks!
You can't make everyone
happy. But you've no right to
let that make you bitter. AS a
matter Of fact, much Of our
effort to make others happy IS
prompted by egotism. 1t gives
us a Big Bang to think that
we're arranging their lives. But
we've no right to arrange other
lives either for veal or woe. 1t
is their sacred privilege to do
their own arranging. AND IF
THEY EVADE OR MISUSE
OUR EFFORTS AND SPOIL
OUR PLANS, WE'VE
BROUGHT THE DISAPPOINT-
MENT ON OURSELVES.
And if we haven't acted out
of egotism if we have
acted from pure benevolence
then, less than ever,
should we be bitter. For a good
deed is it's own reward.
After all, if you're really
bent on uplifting humanity, the
best service you can render is
to be happy and healthy your
self. Keep your accounts in
order, live up to your own
ideals, render help if and when
it is asked or indicated-and
you'll have performed PLENTY.
