CIVIL WORKS SERVICE GROUP
WAGES PROBLEM TO DISTRICT

that increased aid will be given in
worthy cases.
The whole problem results from the
sudden transfer of thousands of persons
from the emergency relief rolls to the
civil works programs. When this was
done it was decided by Federal author
tiles such activities as sewing, canning
and domestic work would not be done
under civil works status. The civil
works pay limits are As cents to $l.l0 an
hour.
officials then set up a Civil Works
Service classification for such occupa-
lions, persons SO employed to be paid
out Of the Districts relief funds. Their
minimum pay was fixed by District
officials at 80 cents an hour. 1t was
explained that the purpose was to
avoid paying them more than similar
workers would get in private employ
ment. and thus to draw persons from
private employment to the relief rolls.
1t was found yesterday, howevec.
that some women under this arrange
ment were receiving less each week
than they formerly got on made
work projects of the relief bureau.
In addition they now have to pay car
| fare to and from work, whereas for
merry they were permitted TO take
work home and thus had TO pay but
two car trips week.
