OF course, there are limitations to the ex-

WPA WORKERS AVAILABLE

Officials of the WPA have moved to
correct situation pointed out in these
columns whereby Key West home owners
and prospective builders were finding it
difficult to hire laborers and other work
men because the majoriety of the supply
was engaged in WPA activities and could
not be induced to leave their relief jobs.
A rule has been established, accord
ing to officials of the WPA, whereby a
WPA workman who refuses private en-
ployment is automatically discharged. In
other words if property owner wants to
do some repair work and needs carpen-
ter or two or more and several laborers he
may make application for the necessary
labor at WPA headquarters. Officials of
the WPA thereupon will assign the re-
CURED number of men to the private work,
providing, of course, the employer agrees
to pay the workmen at least the amount
of their government wages.
Such an arrangement is at it should
be. Many WPA workmen fear that when
they leave their government jobs for pri-
vate employment they will be unable to
return to the federal sinecures after the
completion of the outside work. If return
to WPA is made easy, then it will be easier
for property owners to hire men when they
need them. 1t would be a crying shame, a
waste of public monies, if it became neees-
sary to import labor from other cities to
do local work when local men are avail
able. - sef z5sa 5e.@9.tr.t saat
Relief work is generally easier than
private work A private ditiizeni/ expects
full days work fora days pay W. The WPA
cannot exact that kind Of production and
workmen on the federal jobs go along the
line of least resistance with the least pos
sible effort. For that reason few WPA
workers are likely to leave their present
jobs with any great alacrity. 1t will require
stern regulations rigidly enforced to force
some shirkers into private employment
even when it is offered.
AS a general rule old-line American
citizens, forced to go on WPA because Of
adversely and necessity, will be the first to
grasp an opportunity offered for private
employment. They wonld be ashamed to
accept relief work any longer than abso-
lutely necessary. Aliens have no such
scruples, so it behooves the WPA admins
tration to continue giving preference to
American citizens when it has jobs to
offer.

INSIDE WATERWAY

Passed by Congress is bill
which Key Westers look for
ward to with much satisfaction
the Rivers and Harbors bill.
At the next session of Congress
Key West is hopeful of having
its project, calling for the COM
pletion of the intracoastal
waterway, from Bahia Honda to
Key West on that list. Because
of delay caused by necessity of
presenting a second petition to
the u. S. Engineers Board it
could not go in the bill this
time. Visions of many more
yachts, many more small boats
coming south through an entire
ly protected inside route, are
seen by local folks. On the Keys
now are many yacht harbors, the
principal one being at Craigs,
Florida. Others are in the MAX
ing on the lower stretch. At
least one more owiH be ready for
the next seasonJi in Key West, and
the Yacht Club will soon have its
clubhouse and piers at the Garri-
son Blight ready. Money from
gasoline, food, entertainment fur
nished. Future money from the
influence of interested yachts
men coming here. 1t is said that
one yacht will bring more money
into Key West than five automo-
biles.
