The exchange of scientific informa-

This is our ninetieth birthday. We
plan at the 100-year mark in our

that the hundredth anniversary of
our founding may see our activities
IN properly expanded quarters which
should include additions to the Nat

ROOSEVELT KEEPS
RELIEF PAY POLICY
Private Employers Scored
for Protest They Cannot
Get Labor.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PresS.
Hitting at some private employers
on the ground the wages they pay are
too low, the Roosevelt Administration
adhered today to present w. p. A.
relief wage policies.
At q press conference yesterday, the
President discussed complaints that
employers in some sections are having
difficulty in hiring men who are on
relief. Most of these complaints, he
said, grew out Of unwillingness Of some
employers to pay enough to support
the American standard Of living.
The President expressed determine
tion to continue the prevailing wage
for relief workers. He said wages paid
to Mexican labor along the Mexican
border. to French Canadians on the
Canadian border and to workers in the
berry-picking sections of New Jersey
were SO low that private enterprise had
difficulty in hiring relief workers. He
said the New Jersey workers on the
relief roster are not willing to pick
berries at 80 cents q day.
SpuTn Mexican LaDOf fThCc6s
Along the Southern border. he said.
workers would not quit relief jobs 70
be paid Mexican labor prices In private
employment.
During the past year. Works Progress
Administration wages have been raised
from an average Of $50 monthly to $5l,
with working hours reduced to produce
the prevailing hourly wage.
Turning to q public works issue re-
Gently emphasized by Secretary Ickes.
the President reiterated that States
and communities must use all their
grants on P. w. A. projects for en-
ployment OF relief labor.
But the Chief Executive revised in
one particular his 100 per cent relief
labor requirement disclosed last week
by Ickes. He said II q local COM
munity could not use all of the IS per
cent grant, which Is customary In
P. w. A. projects. for relief labor. it
could accept q smaller grant. Fur
thermore, the President said. COM
munities were free to use any labor
| they wanted on the portion they
finance.

FARM LABOR WAGES UP

The Agriculture Department said
today the farm labor supply now was
the lowest it has been for nearly 10
years.
The supply, however, was reported
as still adequate or nearly so in most
States. The report gave average wages
for hired laborers on July l as $22!07

scribed by the department as one-flfth
higher than those Of two years ago.

ton included only those which could
employ workers from relief rolls with
both Federal and local money.
The President said he had told a
Texas delegation. which protested to
him that the State was left of the
project list along with 10 other States,
that they would simply have to go
back and find out how many suitable
workmen they had on relief.

communities was suggested by Mr..
Roosevelt as a means of clearing prof.
