relief rolls will have to be increased
to 100000 or even 100000. in
stead of the present 100000, to
care for the thousands of unem-
ployed workers whose own resources
have been exhausted as a result
of the business recession.
The current situation was unu-
sual because in previous years there
have been marked declines in re-
lief rolls during the summer months.
If it bcomes necessary to in
crease WPA rolls to 100000 work
ers. it will be the first time since
the early months of 1886 that they
have reached that level
In only one month since the in
ception of WPA in 1885 has the
total number of WPA workers ex-
ceeded 100000. In February 1886,
it reached a high of 3035 .852. For
nearly two yearS-until November
l937-WPA employment declined TO
a low of about 1,450,000. In Febru-
airy 1888, however, it jumped over
the 100000 mark and has been
increasing steadily each month.
