the out-or- door workers tried for a
while in the snow and rain, but lack
of adequate clothing and shoes forced
them to surrender, after couple of
hours. Officials declared that these
men would be paid for the time they
were actually employed.
If the C. W. A. set-up provided a
contingency allotment for snow removal
or other emergency work, the men could
be placed on this task today, said the
park authorities.
In Anacostia Park, where the United
States Engineer Office has supervision
of the c. w. A. workers, none Of the
1000 men we're at work today. A
similar situation existed at Acqueduct
Bridge, where the snow and rain made
footing dangerous. There the c. w. A.
men are normally engaged in removing
the obsolete structure. Only a few
mechanics at the United States Engi-
neer Wharf near the Navy Yard OIL
the Anacostia River, were at their
benches today
Some snow removal work was being
carried forward by the regular park
employees, entirely apart from the G. W.
A. program. This force, however, has
been so diminished, officials said, that
it is unable to move ahead rapidly on
this program.

Although the Civil Works Admin
