negligence in keeping time on work
projects, of favoritism, and that
workers are placed on back
breaking" projects when they pro-
test their rights.
A NSWER-The Times finds the
L n charges a question of view
point and sometimes misunder-
standings. Workers who fail on
projects in pleasant surroundings
and where work is lighter are
transferred to shovel jobs along
river levees and streets. The
White River levee project in Mar
ion County is termed by some
foremen as the "last place we can
put a man when he doesn't fit in"
The transfers cause hard feelings
among workers, whether just or
unjust.

So to $40 a week when WPA truck
drivers obtained the security
wage on Marion County work
projects.
j. H. Crawley, county assistant
director of WPA, admitted that
the wage of the contract truck
driver would be less than that of
the WPA truck driver in severe
weather. He pointed out, how
ever, that contract workmen are
procured through the United
States Treasury and are not hired
by WPA. They receive a $3.50
hourly rate, he says.

The contract truck drivers say
they will protest to Indiana's con-

A special session of the Indiana
General Assembly is to meet in
March to consider raising the
state pension maximum to $50
and thereby fulfill Federal re-
quirements to participate in the
national security program.
The state has an estimated
$4,000 old-age pensioners receiving
benefits from S. to SIS monthly.
The average pension in Marion
County with 1914 pensioners is
$12.

taken from the relief. rolls. Relief
ends with pension payment.
1t is estimated that reduction of
the age limit from 70 to SIS years
will within years time hike the
pension rolls to 10000 persons in
Indiana and that one-half of the
increased load, 5000 persons, will
be taken from direct relief.
This estimate is challenged bv
more conservative welfare workers,
while others say the high mortality
OF pensioners will serve to prevent
as high a load of old age clients
and as a consequence nullify the
effect on the direct relief lines.
How does the public feel about
the expenditure of all this money?

Questioned about the source of
