BILL
THREATENED
BY LABOR
Prevailing Pay Scale Battle
May See Presidents Plan
Thrown Into Discard
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

While administration leaders
sought to keep a prevailing
wage" rule out of President
Roosevelt's $4,880, 100000 work re-
lief bill, a bipartisan coalition on
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee today resumed a drive to
discard the whole program in
favor of the dole.
The controversy over wages
was so bitter, it overshadowed the
fight to abandon the work pro-
gram. It appeared the committee
might stand by the President on
his demand for payment Of
security wages" averaging $50
a month, but then turn around
and discard the whole program
in favor of a $2,88O, O0O, 900 ap-
preparation to continue direct re-
lief another year.
Figures in Conflict
President William Green. Of
the American Federation Of La
Dor, entered the wage contro-
versy by demanding payment of
prevailing wages" on all relief
projects. He made this demand
on President Roosevelt in person.
All organized labor stood behind
him.
Administration spokesman sup
ported the President by declar-
ing the security wage" aver
aging $50 a month, would en-
able the government to provide
work for $4,000 for a year,
whereas higher wages would re-
duce the employable list to $780,
900. These statistics were dis
puted by labor leaders.
Corrington Gill, assistant Fed
eral Emergency Relief admins
traitor, declared prevailing wages
averaged 80 cents an hour. This
too was disputed by labor lead
ers, who declared Department of
Labor statistics would show an
existing average wage Of only
81 cents an hour.
Mr.. Gill meanwhile told the COM
mittee the Government planned
to provide a 13O-hour work month
for 100000 at security wages"
if the four billion-dollar work pro-
gram is approved by Congress.
Security wages" might range
from $50 to $3.50 a month.
Half Prevailing Scale
Mr.. Gill divided all American
labor as follows: Forty per cent
common labor, 40 per cent skilled
labor, 10 per cent clerical labor,
and 10 per cent professional
labor. He said prevailing wage
averages were: Firty-five cents an
hour for common labor, rs GEMS
an hour for skilled labor, $1.lO
an hour for clerical labor and
$1.20 an hour for professional
labor. His figures indicated an

Mr.. Wilentz declared that a
man who would kill the Lind
bergh baby would not be an
American-he would have to
be, he said, a man with ice
water in his veins instead of
blood. He shouted:
"An egOmaniac, the kind Of a
man who could keep a secret,
the type of a man who would
never tell thing if death itself
threatened him."
It was at this point that Mr..
Wilentz wheeled and pointed at
Hauptmann and called him Pub.
lie Enemy No. l of the world"
He cried:
"We have found the animal
who committed this crime!
There he is, the lowest kind of
animal in this wOrld!"
Mr.. Wilentz flatly charged that
Hauptmann choked the Lindbergh
baby to death in the nursery crib
on that windy night of March /,
1882.
The Attorney General told the
jury Hauptmann would have been
arrested "long ago" if he had ent-
cred this country legally and there
had been record of him. He con-
tinued:
"NOw, defense counsel says he
could not have gone into that
nursery room. That there would
have been an Outcry.
"Well now there wouldn't
have been anything so strange
