battle over the work-relief appro-

private employment in certain

Administrator Harry 4 Hopkins,
ate false" he said:
1--WE have followed up IS
separate charges in 20 states
during the past two months.

charge substantiated."
The latest charge was from
Nassau county, N. Y, where it
was alleged Negro workers were
being imported from the south
because of the unwillingneSS of
men on WPA and local relief to
accept farm jobs. Gill said:
Careful investigation showed
that fewer than 20 Negroes
had been brought into the
county. Negro workers were
receiving wages Of 81 for q
12-hOur day. Few local workers
will accept this rate, as COM
mon labor in other local in
duStrieS is paid 81 and IS for
