RELIEF BILL
COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, March i.-F-
Democratic leaders looked Friday to
weekend conferences On the 81
S80.O00!000 work and relief bill In
the apparent hope that the dead
lock could be broken before the
senate meets again on Monday.
Senator Robinson, democratic
leader who conferred for 80 min
utes with President Roosevelt Thurs
Gay night, planned a discussion
Friday with negotiators seeking a
compromise on the McCarran
amendment which would require
the president TO pay prevailing
wages TO the 3.500.00o "employables"
the government plans TO put TO
work.
There was a seeming lessening Of
cheerfulness late Thursday among
some Of the followers OF Senator
McCarran D-Nev) while admins
tration leaders appeared more OPP
timiStic.
Whether any compromise would
center around the suggestion put
forward Thursday by Senator Rey-
holds ONO was not Immediately
disclosed. Reynolds one OF those
who voted for the McCarran amend
ment as against the administration
proposal OF security wages" OF
about $50 a month. suggested that
the president be empowered TO cut
relief wages below the prevailing
level in cases where they were
found to be drawing men away
from Jobs in private industry.
A principle contention Of the
security wage" advocates Is that
higher pay would defeat the pur-
pose Of the program by inducing
men 10 leave private jobs. Presi-
dent William Green Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, which Is
backing the prevailing wage idea,
stressed the leading argument Of
the McCarran supporters in a radio
address Thursday night. He said
payment OF wage rates lower than
those prevailing In the community
will inevitably undermine the en-
tire wage structure throughout the
country"
