ROADS AND PARKS
FOR HE P OR

Requirements for federal work re-
lief projects, as stated by Commissioner
Hopkins are:
l. That the jobs be quick and
light
2 That they must use high pro-
portion OF direct labor, ie., labor on
relief jobs, not labor in material indus
trially produced which may be pur-
chased for the project This results in
the exclusion of projects requiring the
purchase Of large amounts of steel and
other durable material which have alb
sorbed much union labor, but which
would absorb little relief An
other requirement not stated by Hop
kins, but observable in the programs
now made public is that jobs to produce
commodities for the consumption OF
those on home relief even though such
jobs would reduce direct relief, are re-
jected because Of possible objections
that would be raised by private indus
tries making the same commodities for
profit.
A survey of projects approved to
date for the entire United States shows
them TO be chiefly Landscaping, build
ing of golf links, trout ponds, etc. /;
park Improvements; road and street
work; with the last item leading all
.others combined. WPA bulletins on
approved programs thus show that the
products Of cheap relief work will be
Improvements desirable to the upper
and middle classes; but few, if any,
will produce any urgently needed for
subsistence of the needy

RESETTLEMENT HEAD
LAUDS NEWSPAPERS

Newspapers Of the Rocky Noun
tain region are playing a promi-
nent and non-partisan part in aiding
the educational program OF the Re
settlement Administration, Elmer A.
Starch, regional director for Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana, said today.
From the straight news angle, ="
Starch said, editors throughout this
region realize that the activity of the
Resettlement Administration in chang
ing the present agricultural map is of
vital Importance to every section"
"A survey Of this region reveals little
editorial criticism-and that Of con-
structive nature" he said.
Without the newspapers it would be
nearly impossible for the public to rea-
lie the broad scope of the Resettle-
ment Administration. The manner in
which the information is disseminated
brings before the public-at top speed
the progress Of present operating prof.
ects and the rapidly unfolding plans
for the future.
Especially IN the agricultural COM
munities the newspaper is the most
important carrier Of facts Starch
said.
Because newspapers are alert to
their local and state problems, they
not only follow closely the news de-
fvelopments Of the Resettlement Ad-
mindstration, but they themselves in
vestigate for stories OF special interest.
| am especially glad that editors have
taken such an interest in the funda-
mental Importance of the program"
Starch declared.
The prime motive of the Resettle-
ment Administration is 10 move farm
ers on non-productive land to good
land, rehabiitate farmers whose work
ing capital has been depleted, and TO
restore overgrazed and overturned
land

Labor Rights Stressed
In Call For National
Negro Congress

Observation-Disclosures Ac-
ton by all Negro organizations and
other sympathetic groups, to secure
equal rights for the Negro and better
farm and labor conditions, is the OBJ
ject OF the Negro National Congress,
to be held in Chicago, February IL.
Following a meeting in Washington
to form a national sponsoring commit
tee, about a thousand copies OF the
call for the congress have been sent
out to Negro labor unions, farm or
ganizations, churches, and fraternal,
civic, professional and political groups,
The call is also issued TO all organiza-
tions and persons of whatever race
who are willing to fight for economic
and social justice for Negroes" ."
Special attention is devoted in the
call to Negro labor conditions. Point
ing to the manifold determinations
against Negroes, their restriction to
certain classes OF jobs, and the greater
effect OF the present unemployment on
them than on white workers, it de-
clares that the Negro is fast becom-
ing a jobess race"
The right Of Negroes to Jobs at de-
cent living wages and to join all trade
unions is asserted, as well as the right
to equal wages and equal labor condi-
tions with other workers. Genuine
social and unemployment insurance
without discrimination in asked.
THE Negro farm population in the
South is fast becoming landless, the
call declares, insisting on the right of
farmers, tenants and sharecroppers to
organize free from lynch terror.
A struggle to obtain for Negroes the
right to vote, to serve on juries and
against Jim-Crow exclusion from res
taurants and other public places is also
urged. Opposition is expressed to war
and Fascism and to the attempted sub
jugation of Ethiopia.
Temporary officers, to serve until the
National Negro Congress elects its own
are A. Philip Randolph Of the Brother
hood OF Sleeping Car Porters, presi-
dent; John P. Davis OF the Joint Com
mittee on Natl. Recovery, secretary;
Marion Cuthbert, Y. W. c. A., treas
urer and Joseph H. B. Evans, assist.
treasurer Headquarters Of the nation
al sponsoring committee are at III

Farmers living on poor land, under
the plans of the Resettlement Admins
