Taft Urges Ban On WPA
In The Construction Field

Washington, D. C.-Work relief has
failed as a means of solving the ma
tion's unemployment problem, Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft (R.) of Ohio, told
delegates at the convention of the In
ternational Union of Operating En-
gineers.
Senator Taft urged the union to
throw it's weight behind proposals to
bar the Works Progress Administra-
tion from undertaking projects which
could be constructed by private firms
"It is much better to adopt public
works program on it's own merits anc
let it be handled by contract thar
handle the remaining unemployment
on a relief basis" Senator Taft said
While convention delegates ap.
plauded, Senator Taft said:
"Private industry is discouraged by
excessive taxation and excessive reg
ulation by Congress-"
The delegates concluded the conven
tion by re-nominating for another tern
John Possehl, Savannah, Ga, who ha:
been general president for nine years
Frank A. Fitzgerald, New Haven

of secretary-treasurer Seven vice

Nicely and Labor

JOB opportunities of American Pot
terry and other workers to workers Of
Japan and other countries.
Senator Nicely has consistently ig-
nored the petition of the Potters of
West Virginia. He voted against the
Trade Treaties requiring Senate rati-
fication. He voted against the Nc
Carren amendment which provided
that no tariff reductions be made on
imports into American markets of
foreign made competitive articles
which products, the total value of
which, with total tariff duties paid,
were less than American costs of pro-
duction when competitive American
made products were commercially
available.
In simple language Senator Nicely
voted to transfer the jobs of American
Pottery and other workers to workers
in foreign countries where Labor re-
eeiNes frsAne-half to. one-tenth the
wages paid to American workers for
doing the same type of work.
Many communities in West Virginia
are dependent for their prosperity on
the spending or purchasing power of
our Pottery:. Glass mine and other
workers, the products of which must
compete in American markets with
products of the lower wage paid
products of Japan, Russia and otner
countries. When our Pottery and
other workers are fully employed, at
decent wages, the Merchants also have
a better chance to better their oppor-
tunities. No West Virginian profits
through the distribution in American
markets of foreign made gools which
goods displace the product of workers
of West Virginia. The Merchants in
these communities ought to be aroused,
and, if they have their own interest
at heart they should find it easy to as
sist our members in defeating Senator
Neely's candidacy for Governor.
The defeat of Senator Nicely will be
decided victory for all American Pot
terry workers in that it will serve no.
tce on the "politicians" who voted to
transfer the jobs of American work
ers to workers in Japan and other
countries that the workers do not for
get.

The Republican View
By j. WILLIAM OTTER
Representative from Pennsylvania and Member WPA
INVESTIGATING Committee

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Pol-
itics in relief and federal employ
ment agencies again raises its
ugly head in this election year
1910. as it did in 1886 and 1888.
With the opening of the CAM
paign, July WPA rolls began to
mount. Each successive week
showed progressive increases, the
total for the month reaching So
600. And this was in the face of
increased industrial activity and
announcements from the Depart
ment of Labor that private en-
plOyment was expanding.
Notwithstanding vast appro-
priationS for defense resulting in
many new jobs. relief rolls con-
tinued to increase in August and
remain at virtually the same high
level. Under the Hatch Act. per-
sons receiving incomes from the
federal government are debarred
from political activity. There
is nothing in the law to prevent
government agencies padding the
relief rolls for political support.
New Deal relief is a standing
record of scandal and extrava-
gance. Congressional inveStiga-
tons, dominated by Democratic
members, have exposed the I'M
scrupulous exploitation of the
needy on WPA rolls in a dozen

A few years after the turn of
the century the glass factories

blowing fine crystal passed to
Europe. Now. however, all
sources of fine Swedish and

and skilled blowers are once

And so the reminding of the
