.P.W.A STRIKE SEEN
AT CUMBERLAND
Workers Will Not Return to
Jobs Unless Demands Are
Met, Say Leaders.
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, October 26.-Mary-
lands first strike on a Federal work.
relief project appeared certain today
as the deadline set by Cumberland
authorities was reached and Federal
officials still held firm in their refusal
to reduce hours of work on the Cum
berland Works Progress Administra-
ton projects.
City officials and labor leaders in
Cumberland have said that if their
demands are not met the relief workers
of the city will not return to their jobs
on Monday. They ask reduction of
the number of hours to be worked per
month from 100 to 80.
Francis H. Dryden, State w. P. A.
head, has replied to these demands by
asking who will furnish the extra
money needed if the hour-decrease is
granted. The Federal Government has
allotted set sum to each project, and
the job must be completed with this
money, Dryden says. The requested
decrease in hours will raise the cost
of the project by about 40 per cent.
Cumberland has, by an act of the
last Legislature, a minimum of so
cents per hour as the wage to be paid
workers on public projects. Dryden
maintains that the $40 per month paid
relief workers cannot be fairly re-
duced to an hourly basis, as his men
are paid whether bad weather keeps
them from working or not.
Cumberland replies by saying the
w. P. A. is paying full market prices
for materials and tools, and should
pay the market price for labor.
Hovering over these claims and con-
tentions remains the threat of work
cessation. Both sides are convinced
that the laborers will actually refuse
to return to work if the negotiations
fail, as seems likely.
The question of the attitude of re-
lief authorities in case Of strike is
still unsettled. These officials prefer

tee. in another statement, takes a
crack at a claim made by the A. A.
A. III one Of its releases, that the
wages of factory employees have kept
pace with food prices, and that the
employees therefore have not been in
jured by the higher food prices due
to the A. A. A. program. The Re-
publican committee suggests that the
factory workers themselves be asked
if their wages have increased corre-
spondingly with the increase In prices
of foods. These increases, up to Sep
tember "a, 1885, have been, the ma
tional committee says. using the last
report issued by the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, as follows:
Cereals-White bread, 43 per cent;
corn meal, % per cent; rice, 25.4 per
cent; rolled oats, 172 per cent.
Beef-Chuck roast, SIG per cent;
plate beef. 62.6 per cent; rib roast.
41.9 per cent; round steak. 1913 per
cent; sirloin steak. 339 per cent.
Pork-Bacon. 996 per cent. sliced
ham, 63.4 per cent; pork chops, 64,3
per cent.
Dairy products-Butter, l53 per
cent; cheese, 9.4 per cent.
Eggs. 32.4 per cent.
Lard, 1913 per cent
Vegetable lard substitute, 1879 per
cent.
Oleomargarine, 422 per cent.
Inconsistency CHARGED.
The Republicans also are saying
the A. A. A. is blaming the higher
prices of meat and other food prod
ucts on the drought, when talking to
consumers in industrial States, and
are praising the increase in farm
prices to the farmers in the agricul-
tural States. alleging that these
higher prices are due to the A. A.
A. program.
The battle over the A. A. A is ap-
parently growing hotter, despite the
fact that many Republicans from the
farm States. like Senator Capper of
Kansas, give the program their bless
ing-or are reluctant to attack it.
The corn-hog vote Of yesterday be-
comes all the more important since,
if the administration carries its point
strongly, the result will be widely in
terpreted as meaning the farmers gen.
orally are in favor Of it. If, however,
there is substantial vote-even
though it be minority vote-recorded
against the program, the interpreta-
ton will be just the contrary.
Another question is the proportion
Of the farmers who actually take part
in the balloting. If there is a large
number Of farmers who do not trouble
to go to the polls, how will their ST.
lence and apparent indifference be
interpreted? There are in the United
States 100000 farmers who produce
some corn and hogs. When a similar
referendum on the 1885 corn-hog pro-
gram was held a year ago. SIS, 9,716
voted. and the program carried by a
good margin. The vote stood 1886, ,139
for the program and 190,577 against it.
Heavy Vote Reported.
The polls did not close last night
until 10 o'clock. Early reports indi-
Gated the vote had been heavy, ac-
cord:ug to the Associated Press. This
was taken by administration officials
as indicating the program would win.
Evening star., 1935-10-27

A light vote might have been an un-
favorable sign.
The new corn-hog contract for 1886.
it is said, will provide for Is to 80
per cent increase in hog production
over this year. 1t is possible that the
A. A. A. will offer a four-year con-
tract If the program is approved in
the referendum of yesterday. The 1886
program is desired particularly to pre-
vent a heavy increase in the corn
crop. which would bring surplus Of
hog production in 1887, since the corn
goes largely into feeding hogs.

to make their decision known when
the situation has actually arisen.
A wider significance Of the strike
lies in its effect on workers on other
w. P. A. projects. Joseph P. Nc
CUrdey, head Of the Maryland District
Of Columbia Federation Of Labor, is
backing the Cumberland authorities.
Widespread w. P. A. strikes already
have been forecast by McCurdey.

METEORIC FIGURE IN 1929.
Meehan Took Part in Bull Market
With Radio Boom.

NEW YORK, October 26 CP.-M. J..
Meehan, who was ordered by the Sc
curitieS and Exchange Commission to
defend his right to continue as an
active member Of the New York Stock
Exchange, Curb Exchange and Chicago
Board Of Trade, is the senior partner
Of the Wall Street brokerage firm
bearing his name.
He was one of the meteoric figures
Of the 1929 bull market, and on the
Stock Exchange floor at that time his
name was associated with the boom in
Radio Corp. of America common
stock, which for brief time before the
markets collapse produced a quoted
value of more than $40 a share.
To the commissions complaint he
gave this answer tonight: Il have
been informed that the S. E. G. claims
to have found some basis for COM
plant against me in connection with
Bellapca Aircraft Corp.
Il am prepared to prove at any
time that have not, Willingly or
unwittingly, violated any Of the pro-
visions Of the securities and exchange
act, or the rules of any exchange OF
which am a member"
Had Vision of Future.
His friends said it was his vision
and imagination which turned him to
Radio common. 1t had been a rela-
lively obscure issue with colorless
market sponsorship. Even after Nee
han took it under his wing shortly
after joining the exchange in 1920, 1t
remained sleeper" until he began
to dramatic his unlimited confidence
In the company's future.
Meehan was then about IS, red
headed, stocky, with a genial and
friendly way which won him many
friends in Wall Street. He needed his
prodigious store of physical energy to
run the market in radio in those
turbulent days. Daily then it was his
experience to be mauled and clam
bered over by milling crowd of brok-
ers about the Radio post with selling
orders to fill the rising bids of Meehan.
He was the recognized specialist in
the stock.
Began as Messenger.
He started his Wall Street career
as a messenger. He was successfully
a cigar store clerk and salesman In q
theater ticket agency located in the
Wall Street district. He had am
bitions to become broker, and by
1918 he had saved enough to buy a
membership in the old Curbs Market,
which operated between the curb
stones of Broad Street just below the
Stock Exchange.
Since the depression Meehan had
been less in the hmelight, but this
was also true of most other Wall Street
figures who achieved prominence In
the bull market days.
The drastic move Of the s. e. G.
came as q surprise to the Stock Ex-
change authorities. Charles r. Gay,
president of the institution, explained
that the first notice Of any investiga-
ton OF Meehan's transactions came In
a telephone message from s. e. G.
Chairman Lands late yesterday.
