ton Of tile federal highway system
Fire point q HI OF this Is that the
federal government Is determined tc
enforce q distribution of the funds
TO as many areas as possible. This
series the purpose of providing the
work as G Al may be TO the unem
ployed and prevents "hogging'' OF
available construction by any section,
The government also put its finger
on the methods TO be used. 1t is say
inE 10 each of the states that no CON
vict labor may be used. that the con
tractors must pay wages that permit
OF a decent and comfortable living
standard. and that workers ma not be
kept on the job longer than 80 hours
per week N order that the maximum
number workers ma have jebs.
This principle is regarded as b
c4aIy Important because it establishes
lie six-hoar day and the fye-day week
for the first time on q large scale. How
long il a be maintained Is now q
matter OF pure conjecture, but it will
remain as the principle ON all federal
grants 70 states for highway building
during the expenditure of these funds.
