L. Hopkins, WPA administrator, back
from an inspection tour of 10 west
tern states, told newspaper men that
he had been strongly impressed by
four or five outstanding facts. These
are: the drop in the relief fund; the
benefits WPA works have brought to
the small taxpayer and small home
owner; the fact that communities and
taxpayers are getting 100 cents worth
of value-or more-for every dollar
spent; and the further fact that WPA
projects contribute S120,000,000 a
month to the nations buying power
in wages alone.
The relief load has dropped 20 per
cent since March, despite the fact
that the drought has forced the WPA
to employ 100000 farmers, and that
it must employ more before spring.
Another thing that impressed me, I
said Hopkins, SIS what this thing
has done for the small taxpayer and
small home owner You can see it
on all sides in the improvement Of
financial conditions of local govern
ments. Municipal deficits are disap-
pearing, and security defaults are be-
| ing cleared up. In little over year,
more than half the defaults in cities
of more than 10000 have been cured.
Distressed Communities Aided
Il think WPA has a fair claim to
share of responsibility for this
improvement. 1t enabled financially
distressed communities to carry on
services which the local governments
We're too poor to continue themselves.
Zone other thing that you can't
miss when you get out and see this
work first hand is that the commu-
mites and taxpayers are getting dol
lar for dollar value for the money
spent. Sometimes they are getting
a lot more than that
Mr.. Hopkins gives instances. One
is the enlarging Of the Wheatland
reservoir for irrigation in Wyoming
Originally built by the farmers them
selves, five drought seasons had ex-
/ hausted it. The WPA, at an incred-
| IDLY small expense, measured by the
acres served, enlarged this reservoir
and connected it with natural water
i storage basin, so that if no rain falls
for two years, the farmers can raise
crops.
Help for Flax Industry
/ One project which he described
seemed to give Mr.. Hopkins peculiar
| pleasure. Oregon has 70 times as
many acres good for producing fas
as has Northern Ireland, one of the
leading flax countries. Oregon farm.
ers know how to raise fiber fax, but
plants to handle it were lacking.
Seeing chance to rehabilitate
Oregon farmers and workers alike,
says Hopkins, 'the WPA authorized
construction of three badly needed

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
formed President Roosevelt, at
luncheon at Hyde Park, N. Y, just
before the nations chief executive
returned to Washington, d. c., that
after careful study he believed
so per cent of the workers would
vote for Mr. Roosevelt in the election
ON November 3.
After the luncheon Mr. Green re-
peated to newspaper correspondents
the substance of his statement.
II reported to the president" he
said, my findings about the political
situation among the workers of the
country. | stated that my appraise-
ment of the political situation showed
that 80 per cent of labor is for him,
including both organized and unor-
ganized. | think that appraisal is
very accurate. 1t is based on reports
| have received and contacts | have
Hdu all over the country.
''That fact is reflected in meetings
Of labor. Practically all of the state
federations-th are 48 Of them
and the national and international
unions have adopted resolutions pledg-
ing their support to the president.
"Such unanimous action of that
kind has never been taken in any
campaign before, so far as know"
The labor vote was estimated by
Mr.. Green as ranging from 100000
to 10,000,000
He said the practically unanimous
feeling Of the workers in favor of
Roosevelts reelection is based on
the fact that this administration
rather speaks labor's languages, and
the humanitarian policies inaugurated
by this administration ought to be
continued by those who inaugurated
them BY those policies, ! mean social
justice and the principle Of collective
bargaining, things which were never
done by an administration before"
Government Contracts Law
The president was requested by Mr..
Green to take some appropriate action
with regard to the enforcement Of the
Wash-Healy act, requiring the 40
hour week, the prevailing wage rate,
and the abolition of child labor by
firms given contracts to supply goods
to the government. He pointed out
that although the act became effective
on September %, congress had failed
to appropriate funds for its enforce
ment.
Mr. Green said he hoped the presi-
dent could find some method of detail

ing existing agencies in the depart
ment of labor to administer the law,
because there was increasing evidence
that manufacturers were planning to
evade it's regulations.
Among these he cited what he
claimed was the establishment of
dummy wholesale companies by manu-
facturers, through which the latter
could evade the labor restrictions as
long as the secondary company COM
piled with them, because the law ap-
plies only to those companies which
deal Immediately with government
purchasing agencies.

RADIO APPEAL
Brings Shekels to Advance
Cause of Labor

The radio appeal made by Daniel
]. Tobin, labor chairman of the demo-
cratic national campaign committee
for contributions from workers
toward the reelection of President
Roosevelt, has already netted thou
sands of replies, mostly in S1.00 bills,
Mr. Tobin announced last Thurs
day.
In addition, more than 100 individ-
uals, the majority of them women,
called at democratic headquarters in
the Hotel Biltmore in one day, and
offered their contributions in person,
Mr.. Tobin said.
"The radio appeal was new expert
nent which | copied after practices in
England where workers contribute in
dividually to pay the cost of the cleo
tion Of their candidate to the house
of commons" Mr. Tobin said. "The
appeal made a week ago not only had
the result of making all workers, both
] organized and unorganized, conscious
of the necessity of re-electing Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but it also enabled us
to gather a tangible report of the
great number of people who are vitally
interested in the outcome of the No
vember elections"
Mr. Tobin exhibited numerous let
ters received from stenographers,
wives of workers and financially
pressed working men who wrote to
express their individual concern at
the fate of labor if the republican
party carried the election
Five stenographers in Washington,
D. c., pooled their resources to send
$40. A housewife in Indiana sent a
dollar bill taken from her household
budget. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firenlen and Enginemen broke
Tits rules of never contributing to a
political campaign by sending $3.50
In the office of the treasurer of the
democratic committee an attempt was
made to segregate the contributions
made by the workers as a result of the
radio appeal, but Mr.. Tobin advised
that many contributors sent their
!small donations anonymously or with
out mention of their occupations.
''These small contributions accom-
panied by sincere and moving letters
from workers indicate that labor is
fully appreciative of the friend it
has had in the White House for the
past three years, and that every man
and woman interested in the labor
movement is fighting hard not only
to return Franklin D. Roosevelt to
office but to return him by an over
whelming majority of votes" Mr.
Tobin stated.
