Workers Don't Want
Split Pay Check

Don G. Abel, State Administrator
of Works Progress Administration,
has instructed that all projects re-
arrange their work schedules for the
semi-monthly work period In the
last half of December in order that
an attempt may be made to provide
all WPA employees with fun pay
check between Christmas and New
Years.
Heretofore, Mr.. Abel says, pay
rolls have been split to provide the
workers with an extra pay check
immediately prior to Christmas. but
an investigation Of the workers de-
sires in the Yakima zone relative to
this matter reveals that their pref
erence is to not have their check
split for this purpose, since they
have experienced hardship In the
long period of time intervening be-
tween the receipt of this special
check and their next next 1ull pay
check"
