RELIEF PROTESTS
BRINGING ACTION,
OFFICIALS SH0 W
BY Federated Press


ness of the protests against curtailed
relief appropriations was again in
dictated here as President Roosevelt
summoned his financial advisers and
indicated that he would soon have
something to say on the subject.
Previously the WPA responded to
protests of organized labor by en-
larging WPA rolls to 100000 At
first it was hoped that mid-winter
relief rolls could be held to 1900, 900.
With a group of progressive repre-
sentatives President Roosevelt dis
cussed the question of self-liquidat-
ing relief projects. No definite
Roadway was made on the subject,
according to reports, but the Presi-
dent expressed a desire to enlarge
the number of such projects.
Cited was the proposal to build a
national highway on which tolls
would be charged. Work on such a
highway, it was said, could be car
ried on intermittently, filling the
gaps caused by industrial depression.
The whole relief question, Mr..
Roosevelt told a press conference, is
being considered on the basis of hu-
man needs rather than pump prim-
ing He said he expected to have
something within a few days.

Bringing of $1,000 Under
Civil Service Is Hailed
as Vital Step.

Announcement that $1,000 exempt
positions would be classified under
civil service today brought statements
Of qualification from the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees and
the United Federal Workers of America.
"The American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, as its whole record
has amply demonstrated" said one of
the statements, 'iS vitality interested
in having all non-policy forming posi-
tions placed under civil service, and
this is another vital step toward that
goal. The federation is particularly
pleased at the prospective inclusion of
the group of hospital attendants, for
merly excepted in schedule A, for it
has many members among this group
and has long sought civil service and
retirement benefits for them"
The commissions action was hailed
by the United States Federal Workers
as bringing "the Federal Government
one significant step closer to the posi-
ton it rightfully ought to occupy
that of the Nations model employer"
"It is gratifying to the United
Federal Workers of America" the
group said through its president, Jacob
Baker, "to know that thousands of
deserving Government workers will at
last obtain measure of job security
and old-age protection as specified by
the Presidents executive orders of
June "a, 1888, and as provided for in
civil service rules.
I'VE are not willing to admit, how
ever. that workers in those agencies
not now covered by civil service and
omitted from the commissions list
today are necessarily precluded from
civil service. Our committee of law
yers will continue to make study OF
existing regulations and statutes in
an effort to bring under the civil serv-
ice system other deserving employees" "

Friendship Depends on Cession
of Ruthenian Territory,
Says Warsaw Paper.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Oct. 6.-The official
newspaper, Gazeta Polska. said today
Polish -Czechoslovak friendship would
depend on the cession of Carpathian-
Ruthenian land to Hungary.
This will answer whether the
Czechs wish to accept cordially our
hand sincerely extended to them with
the purpose of friendly and neigh
borly relations" the paper said, "or
whether they still tbase hopes on) a
policy of adventurous alliances to con-
struct bridges to the Soviets and to
surround us from the back"
The Gazeta Polska declared Czecho-
slovaks in the past used Carpathian-
Ruthenian land, in Hastern Czecho-
slovakia, as a base for Communist
propaganda in order to demoralize
the .Ukrainians of Poland and Ru-
mania.
1t also charged the territory some
of which Hungary now claims, served
as a base for Soviet airplanes flying

MINIMUM WAGE
 RATE EFFECTIVE
Women, Minors to Benefit By Change Approved
 for June 1

Hartford, May 10. Labor Com missioner Joseph M. Tone today gave his final approval to the recommendations of the minimum wage board for the laundry industry and announced that the 30 cent hour for women and minors will go into effect on June l.
 While both the board and I rec ognize that this wage is far too low from the employees point of view, 1t appears to be all the industry can bear at present." the commis- sioner said.
 A supplementary regulation which requires that every employe work ing less than 35 hours per week shall be paid at least B cents an hour will also be effective the first of next month.
 This regulation was necessitated, MT. Tone explained, by the fact that large number of women are em- ployed only the first three days in each week.
 Through the adoption of this penalty wage for part-time work" !" he stated" 1t is hoped that employ ment will be spread throughout the week. But this effort cannot suc- ceed unless many customers cooper ate by sending their work to the laundry during the latter part of the week."
 The wage order further provides for regulation of deductions from wages, payment for waiting time and exemption by the Labor Con- missioner of physically handicap ped employees from the minimum wage requirements. It is to apply to all employees in laundries, whether independent establishments or de- partments of hotels or institutions.
 Recommendations incorporated in the wage order were submitted to a public hearing held last Thursday, following which certain minor changes were made in the proposals.
