Faced With tho difficult problem
Of operating within cnrtailed
quota of project workers. the
Works Progress Administration
win Of necessity inmediately ap-
ply a more stringent test Of nesyd
and employabliity. Don c. Abel
state Administrator. announced
today
I'VE had projected our plans on
the basis Of an increase IN unem-
ployment with the falling of Of
seasonal work offered BY private
industry Abel said I'VE nave
been allotted a quote Of $4,000
workers for November. which ~
continuation Of the October fig
ure This allotment Is in effect q
severe reduction when viewed IN
the light Of actual employment
need.
Redistribution on national
basis has sbcome necessary be-
cause Of the extremely unusual
and Unforeseen need for aiding dis
tressed families IN the drought
states.
WPA win endeavor to distribute
the available jobs within the quota
on the fairest basis possible. Abel
emphasized, but to do 50 win nee
esaitate drawing extremely fine
and impartial lines.
eWPA was set up to provide use
who were not eligible for benefits
ful employment for those persons
under social security legislation,
Abel stressed. This Is a work pro-
gram for the needy unemployed
We are forced therefore to meet
our quota by limiting ours rolls
first to the needy and unemployed
heads Of families
Quota will be met, 1t was stated,
by dropping from the active rolls
all those who display a wilful
negligence in the performance Of
their TASKS. persons over 65 years
of age. women with dependent
children eligible for widows PEN
sions, All single men and women,
and all those who are physically
unable to perform their duties on
assignments offered.
Pointing out that wPA had a
definite responsibility to heads of
families who had left WPA during
| the spring or summer to seek pri-
| vate employment. tie state admin
istrator said, I'VE have made our
promise to these family heads
that we would take them back,
and we viii do everything human
| ~ possible to see that that prom
Use is fulfilled. We viii clear our
rolls Of everyone who doesn't APP
preciate his job enough to work
for It or who can be taken care
or elsewhere. Need for employ
ment Of the workers returning to
US viii be re-established on an
individual basis.
Il am fully aware that to meet
our quota limitations hardship
win be worked upon some classes
of individuals, and this I regret
exceedingly. With the dimensions
of the problem set for us, the best
we can do is make that hardship
! TALL lightest on those who can
least afford to bear it."
Abel indicated that the present
moves may be charting the future
course of relief and the Works
Program.

Registrars had been summoned to
appear tomorrow before the County
Court; which proposed to conduct a
hearing. The summonses have been
recalled, 1t was said today, following
the agreement.
Dismissal was made after a hearing
in Berkeley County last Thursday,
during which counsel for about so
such absentee voters. resisting the
erasure Of their names or the order
to compel them to appear and satisfy
the court as to their right to vote in
Berkeley County, raised the question
as to the sufficiency of the registered
letter method of notifying the voters
in question and the amount of time
given to make reply.
Counsel for the sponsors of the move
for erasure finally concurred in this
position and joined in a motion for
dismissal. There were more than 500
names on the Berkeley County list.

Another unexplained phase Of the

in his skull.

GREEN ASKS DRIVE
FOR OFFICE UNION
Over Million Workers Held
Eligible for Membership.
Federal Group Cited.

A recommendation for a campaign
to bring office workers into the ranks
of organized labor will be included by
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, in his
report to the annual convention next
month in Tampa, Fla.
Citing organization efforts among
Government employees as proof Of
what could be accomplished among
workers in this category, Green yes
terday described them as probably
the least organized group Of workers
in the country"
The census Of 1890, he explained,
listed 811. 900 persons as stenograph-
ers and typlsts and 10000 as book
membership of which has probably
1.550,o00. Probably three-fourths Of
that number would be eligible for
membership in the A. F. of L. affiliate,
the Stenographers. Typwriters. Book
keepers and Assistants Union, the
membership Of which has probably
never exceeded 5000 in its more than
80 years of existence.
The greater portion Of the present
union membership is still among en-
ployes of unions afhliated with the
federation. The Washington local,
No. 1l,773, with about 400 members,
Is one of the largest of the 80 Fed
eral unions established to date in the
larger cities of the country.
The success of campaigns to organ
ize Federal workers into the American
Federation of Government Employees
is sufficient proof that men and wom-
en- in that group can be brought into
association with other labor groups,
wherever fear Of losing their jobs is
not factor, Green said.
Office workers usually come in
closer personal contact with their en-
ployers than others. but with the
growth of corporations and companies
employing large numbers Of men and
women, the only method of securing
better wages and working conditions
and adequate security of their jobs
is to organize with other federation
groups" he asserted.
Most of the workers in the fedora
tons Office here have been employed
for many years and feel secure in
their jobs. he added, but, nevertheless,
the federation has a signed contract
with the local Office workers union,
providing for maximum hours, over
time pay, minimum pay. collective
bargaining and an arbitration clause
for settling disputes between the fed
Grafton and the local.
