SENATOR BARES
WAGE SCANDAL
WOrkmen Cheated by Fed
eraI Contractors, Walsh
Says, After Probe.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, uly Exchanges
that unscruplous contractors han
ding government building projects
were robbing workmen of their
rightful wages were made today in
a Senate committee report.
Senator David I. Walsh ID,
Mass,), in reporting the inquiry be-
gun a year ago by the Senate Com
mittee on Education and Labor, said
contractors on government projects
had been found violating the Bacon
Davis act.
The act provides that mechanics
and laborers employed on a Federal
project shall be paid the prevail
ing wage" wherever they may be at
work.
The committee reported its inve5-
tigation disclosed that "unscrupu-
lous contractors took full advantage
Of the acute unemployment stu
alton to exploit labor and deprive
workmen of the wages to which they
were by law entitled"
The committee found "reprehen-
sible" such methods for avoiding
payment of the prevailing wage as
the following:
Private Contractors receiving di-
rectly the pay checks of employees,
as revealed in construction Of CCC
camps, and deducting certain
amounts therefrom.
The "kick-back," whereby the en-
ploye returns a certain sum to his
employer upon receipt of his pay.
The formation of partnerships
among individual workmen and let
ting to such partnerships certain
portions of the work under contract,
the result of which is to pay the
employees less than the prevailing
wages.

Local dust storms still blow their
binding way across scattered areas
of the dust bowl sector, but today
much of the section, embracing
parts of six states and covering
hundreds of square miles Of ordi-

the way to a measure of recovery.

mans own ingenuity and hard work
have collaborated in the fight. and
in much of the area the results are
gratifying.
The dust, however, was but one OF
three major disasters the Midwest
suffered in the last year. Last sum-
mer's drought left scars not en-
tirely erased, and spring floods add
ed to the farmers woes.
Recovery Is Well Along

and spread over several states.
In the areas struck by drought
alone recovery seems we'll along. IN
the dust sectors, however, the pic
ture is spotty.
There will be no record crops any,
where, but compared with last sum-
mer conditions are excellent. Then
cattle died in the fields from thirst
and starvation. Hundreds Of
thousands of head we're slaughtered
by the government. People guarded
their water. Today most of the
rivers are full, stock water is
plentiful and rainfall is near nor

Kansas is harvesting a greater
wheat crop than year ago, but
still far below its 10-year average.
Much of the western area, in the
heart of the dust storms, is pro-
viding little or no wheat although
in the eastern third fair yields we're

Oklahoma sees a big improvement
from a year ago, as does Colorado.
The general picture has its dark
spots, however. In Baca County.
Colo, where dust contributed to the
deaths of several persons, the spirit
of residents seems broken and there
is little optimism over the govern

Cimarron County, Okla, also is
little better off than it was last

they are outweighed by the general
improvement.
