wants to operate. We also have
several WPA projects requested from
this town. And because we know the
conditions and the background, we
will of course, not approve the pro-
jects for this town, whereas if the
final decision had been left up to Of
ficials in Washingto, they might
have been approved. But we know
that all those who really want work
in this town can get it. And we be-
lieve that when they are cut off re-
lief November 1 they will then be will
ing to go back to work in the mills"
Unemployment Acute
There are many localities, however,
in which the unemployment situation
is acute and where WPA projects will
afford the only means of providing
employment through the winter, it is
agreed. It is in these places where
an effort will be made to start WPA
projects at once. And since the State
WPA administrator and me district
directors will have the final sayso in
selecting those projects which will be
undertaken first and their location,
can be gotten under way in all of the
neediest localities by November 1, the
date when all direct relief is schedul-
ed to come to an end. More than
$5,O0O,0O0 has already been allocated
to the State WPA and more is ex-
pected almost weekly.
But it is becoming more and more
apparent that the WPA is going to
be much more hard-boiled than the
old Emergency Relief Administration
and that from now on those who want
relief are going to have to work for
it, not just a few days a week, but
six days week four weeks a month.
Most of the WPA officials are also
convinced that they will not have
more than SO per cent of the former
relief clients; on their lists as WPA
employees since they are confident
that not more than half of the former
relief clients have any desire to do
any work. They are also confident
that the number of unemployed would
have continued to grow rather de-
crease as long as the Government
direct relief or the "dole"
But now that the Government is de-
finitely going to abandon direct re-
lief November 1, with the result that
the only way to get any Government
help will be to work for it on WPA
projects, the number of those who
will apply for WPA jobs is expected
to amount to less than so per cent
of those formerly on relief.
Only Half Registered
In fact, the figures from the Ma
tional Unemployment Service offices
over the State indicate that only
about so per cent of those on relief
have as yet registered for WPA en-
ployment. The unplaced balance of
registered unemployed in the state
this week was 184, 1868, of whom only
about 100000 are former relief clients
although the number on relief last
May, and regarded as typical of 9TH
er months, was about 10000. It is
also believed that many of those who
actually desire work will not strive
to get it in private employment, rath-
er than on WPA projects. AS result
a good many of the WPA officials
now doubt if the WPA will be requir-
ed to give employment to more than
$4,000 persons. In this way it expects
to stimulate private as well as public

private industry needs labor, but
where it has not been able to get the
labor needed because so many have
been on relief and so willing to re-
main on relief that they would not ac-
.cept jobs offered, according to reports
received here.
The first thing the WPA will
strive to do, of course, is to put as
many of the bona fide unemployed to
work on WPA projects as fast as
possible-and since we already know
where the localities are that need
these projects the most, we naturally
will concentrate on these sections" a
WPA official said here today. "On
the other hand, we also know the
places where private employment is
available but where former relief
clients have refused to accept pri-
vate work as long as they were able
to stay on relief.
For instance, we know of one town
where a cotton mill has been unable
to operate for several months because
it couldi not get sufficient workers,
although it has plenty of orders and

CON GRESS
'SUSPENDS

Byrns Says Lawyers Will
Study Wagner, IVA, Holding
Firm and AAA Measures
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Four Administration bills pend
ing in Congress-Wagner labor
disputes bill, iva amendments,
utility holding company, and AAA
amendments-will be reviewed
and probably revamped in the
light of the Supreme Courts de-
cision in the MIRA case, Speaker
ByTnS announced today.
AL Congressional action on
these measures was temporarily
suspended while New Deal and
Congressional lawyers begin an
examination Of the measures.
Consideration of the NRA ex-
tension bill, pending in the
House, was dropped while Donald
R. Richberg, acting NRA head,
and other Administration legal
lights sought to find a way to
recast the measure. Speaker
ByrnS said:
There is a possibility that
the Wagner labor disputes bill,
the EVA amendments, the hold.
ing company bill, and the AAA
licensing amendment are af-
fected by the decision.
II do not offer a legal Opin-
ion on this matter but there
is cause for apprehension. All
the measures must be examined.
"FOr the time being we must
stand by and infinitely examine
all important pieces of legisla-
ton"
Speaker Byrns said the "a
hour work week bill, which is not
part of the Administrators
program. undoubtedly is involved
in the Supreme Court ruling.
Meanwhile the Administration
sought new means of applying the
New Deal to industry.
May Change Constitution
Two possibilities. were seen, an
attempt to reenact NRA in con-
Stitutional form on a constitution
al amendment giving the Admins
tration the unquestioned power of
code government.
A constitutional amendment, 1t
was pointed out, could be enacted
in short time if two-thirds of
Congress and two-thirds of the
States want the NRA.
Meantime, Donald R. Richberg,
acting MIRA head, suspended en-
forcement Of all codes. He ap-
pealed to industry to maintain
the fair trade practices, ban on

Caught Unprepared

Taught OApACPdkCW
The fact is the New Dealers,
from top to bottom, were caught
flatfooted and unprepared for the
tornado that wrecked their house
yesterday by the Supreme Courts
unanimous decision that Congress
could not delegate its legislative
powers, and that it could not con-
troll interstate business. They were
resigned to the courts giving
them some critical jabs, but they
never dreamed of a knockout.
Knockout Blow
And Knockout it was. For the
unanimity of the decision and the
language of the nine justices shut
the door forever to anything ap-

pale and pallid substitute may ap.

MIRA that was is gone for all time.
