WPA Criticism Growing
Criticism OF the WPA has grown
rapidly in recent months. Congress
has now dictated that this prevail
ing wage rate business be stopped
and that WPA skilled workers be
forced to labor" at lower hour
ly rate. Their monthly pay enve-
lope will contain just as much
money, but they will have to work
l30 hours per month. WPA skilled
artisans have baked at this change
even though the new Set-up is in
the best interests OF the nation as
6 whole.
The AFOL also opposes the new
ruling because they consider it is
a direct attack on the caste" sys-
tenn of wages used by them for
years. This system has been one
of the big reasons why building has
failed to 90 its share toward re-
covery and unemployment. A spec
ial government committee under
Thurman Arnold is now engaged i'll
a monopoly hunt in the building
industry. Personally, I thing Mr..
Arnold will find that certain union
wage scales and other union policies
are largely to blame for exorbitant
building costs.
How to End WPA
When all is said and done, three
steps are necessary If We ever ex-
pect to get rid of the WPA even
under good business conditions,
FIRST, We must pay as low a wage
as possible on WPA in order to en-
courage workers TO get into private
jobs as soon as private jobs are
available. SECOND, chronic relief
ers must temporarily be purged
from the voting lists in order to
prevent WPA from becoming an all
powerful political organization,
THIRD, WPA workers must be
taught TO have less children, while
non-welfare groups must be encour-
aged to have more children. Today.
1t looks as though We have made
a good start on step No. /.
The present labor situation is a
good Illustration of the fact that
the Law of Action and Reaction
works in human economics just as
it does in physics, astronomy, and
other sciences. A few years ago
the public rightly had sympathy
for wage workers. However, a sue
cession of episodes, such as the cur
rent General Motors and WPA
strikes, has been swinging pepdu-
lum of public opinion away from
the unions. Labor was not giver
as good break" as it should have
had ten years ago. For the pas
three years, it has had too mucl
power. Maybe in 194l or 1912 W,
will strike a sensible balance il oul
employers-employee relationship.

Woman Dances in Nude on
Ledge Of s. Story Hotel

NEW YORK, July 81. (UP)-A
cab driver, blase from years OF
strange events in pre-dawn hours
on Broadway, heard a voice CAROL

When he perceived the disturb

Head. Roger Bobson Soys

, action. The labor situation is like
boil that can be cured only as
comes to head.
The strike of the tool and die
workers in General Motors plants
will also AID in bringing the labor
problem TO a head. The National
Labor Relations Board was intend
ed to promote peace between en-
ployers and workers. 1t has not
done so. Rather. it has famed the
fires OF labor civil strife and has
added TO the sufferings of employ
ees as we'll as employers-particu-
larly those in the automobile indus
try. Now, just as the motor-makers
are engaged in the vital job of re-
tooling their machines for 1910 mo-
dels, the CIO tool workers are
breaking their contract. They are
striking again in order to try to
freeze" their AFOL rivals out of
the auto business.
Employers Hands Tied
Until recently. employers could
not petition the National Labor Re-
lations Board for an election TO
lind out which of the two opposing
unions should become the bargain
ing agency for their plant. Those
rival labor groups would get into
plant and each would loudly
claim they represented a majority
of the workers, but neither side
would dare TO resort to an election.
One faction would start wild cat"
strike one DAY and the other group
would retaliate with another strike
the next day. Meanwhile, the me-
ployers were sewed up tighter than
4 drum by the NLRB.
Up until month ago, however,
Washington had done nothing to
stop this nonsense. Now, new
rule has been adopted which al
lows EMPLOYERS to petition for
an election. Public opinion is solid
ly behind this change. Because OF
the growing wave OF public senti-
ment against the boards policies
and against unioneering tactics. the
labor situation should now take q
turn for the better. Labor leaders
are crazy to kick up another rum
pus with the motor-makers because
the average citizen is sick and tired
of all this yapping and pickering
between the two labor camps
WPA Strike Ridiculous
The WPA strike" however, is the
"pay-off'' While no one begrudges
helping our unemployed, every one
is disgusted with this WPA strike"
The background of the flare-up is
important In 1895, labor leaders
forced the prevailing wage rate"
clause in the WPA program in Or
der to prevent a break down in the
American standard of living. Top
monthly compensation for each dis
trict was announced and skilled
craftsmen 'toiled" only enough
hours at the prevailing wage rate
to reach this monthly amount.
A plumber, for instance, whose
union wage rate is 50 an hour
might work only two days a week
or go hours per month, to get his
monthly check. Thus, he has plenty
of time to do odd work, Ito look
around for private job. and to
take life easy generally. Many peo-
pie believed that We would never
empty WPA rolls if We continued
this ienient policy. Furthermore
these people were worried over the
|. fact that We have bigger relief rolls
today than in the very pit of the

RYAN CRITICIZES
 NEW DEAL POLICY
Radio Commentator Guest of Young Republicans at
 County Meeting

Meriden, June 16-New Haven County Young Republicans meeting in this city last evening heard Ed- ward J. Ryan, Connecticut's leading political analyisist and Radio broad- caster predict that Governor Ray- mond E. Baldwin will be on the next Republican National Ticket.
 Mir. Ryan said in part There are two reasons why people of this city of Meriden can feel proud name ly its manufacture of fine silver ware and the "Danaher Family.
 "The Governor of this state, young energetic Governor Raymond E. Baldwin has accomplished what every other Governor in the entire nation is trying (Unsuccessfully) to do he has balanced the states budget. This is highly important perhaps more important at this time than ever before in the his- tory of this state. It is especially important when we compared his "Pay-as-you-go program" with the wilfull spending of billions upon billions of dollars by the so-called New Deal.
 Today there are billions of dol lars lying idle in these United States, idle because of the fear of the New Deal and fear of govern ment interferences. Today business has no definite assurance that 1t won't face competition from the government. There can be no bus mess SO long as business fears our government. There can be no jobs as long as there is no business.
 More beneficial labor legislation has been enacted by the present ses- sion of the, General Assembly than has been the case in years. The new Republican party was friendly to labor and most of the credit for the passage of the labor laws must go to United States Senator John A. Danaher of this city. (At this point terrific applause caused Ryan to pause momentarily). Senator Dana her is and always has been one of the best friends labor has ever had in this state. Like his famous father before, John Danaher has the cause of the working man close to his heart.
 State Treasurer Joseph E. Tal- bot of NaugatuCk attended the af- fair which brought together about 300 people from all parts of New Haven county.
 The meeting was presided over by Clarence F. Andrews of North Ha- ven, president of the county rogan- ization.

SMALLPOX FEARS MAY BE BANISHED
Vaccination of All School Children Strongly
 Advocated

Although a record period of six years has elapsed since a case of smallpox was reported in Connecti- cut, the weekly bulletin of the State Deparement of Health points out that recent experience with this disease in New York State shows that the public is never sure of one being exposed. One contact of the New York outbreak has been found by the department in Connecticut and placed under observation, while two other contacts who gave Con- necticut address have not yet been located. Since vaccination offers an effective method to prevent small pox, all persons who have never been vaccinated were urged to do so, and revaccination was recommended for those who have been vaccinated for some time.
 In the final analysis the prevent ion of smallpox rests with the public, according to the bulletin. Under Connecticut law it is pos- vaccination of all children as a condition for attending public schools. While such a requirement. is in force in cities and towns com. prising about half the population of the state, if all people were thus protected, the bulletin stressed, all fear of the disease would be re- moved and smallpox could be banished,
