made available as production
possibilities have been examined
for the coming year. Both state
distribution and national needs
have been more accurate by re-
Gently revised estimates of crops

WILL NAME COMMITTEE TO ACT
ON MIGRANT LABOR CAMP HERE
Meeting Is Held On
Wednes doY To Dis
cuss Possibilities

Following a discussion of mi
grant workers camps at a pub
lie meeting held Wednesday af-
ternoon in the courthouse, a
motion was made and passed to
start the preliminary work to
determine if a camp could be
established in this county.
George w. GustafSon preSid-
ed at the meeting and will ap-
point ten men to represent the
organizations in the county to
work together in presenting the
case to government officials.
c. E. Hazard, Farm Security
Administration representative OF
Denver, Charles Miller, labor
camp specialist from Denver
and j. P. Brennan of Helena
spoke on the camp project as
to how it was established and
how it was operated.
Mr.. Hazard stated thatSthere
were at present "a camps OPP
Grating and Al more under con-
struction in the United States.
He added that the camp idea
originated in California in 1885,
and it proved so successful that
the FSA carried the project in
to other states where it has
been operated to the advantage
of farmers who desire help with
their crops.
The camps are erected and
operated without cost to the
community in which they are
located. Supervision IS under a
camp manager and community
recreation room, laundry and
other facilities are combined
within the camps.
The camp would work in con-
junction with the local re-em-
ployment service and farmers
needing help could obtain men
on short notice.
Charles Miller of Denver
showed a diagram Of a camp
now under construction at Fort
Lupton, Colo, and showed pic
! lures Of a. completed camp at
Grange, Wash. He answered
questions on various topics per-
tanning to the camps that were
asked of him.
Members of the committee to
be appointed by Mr.. Gustafson
will gather various statistics
showing the need of a labor
camp here as well as recon-
mendations from responsible
persons endorsing the project.
It was brought out that al
though the camp would not
function for the oncoming crop
year, plans must be laid now If
the camp is to operate in 1913.
Congress is expected to approp-
rate funds for building camps
throughout the nation at the
beginning of the fiscal year
which is July l.. 1912.

By the Associated Press.
The second war powers bill,
placing vast emergency author
ity in the hands of Federal ag-
encieS and the President. was
passed yesterday by the House
little changed from the form
originally advocated by the ad-
ministration.
The action came on voice vote as
the climax to four days of heated
debate.
As finally passed and sent back to
the Senate for action on compara-
lively minor amendments, the meas
ure contained a controversial pro-
vision giving Federal Reserve banks
limited authority to purchase Gov
ernment obligations directly from
the Treasury. Under present statutes
they must be bought on the open
market.
That particular section still con-
tanned a clause to limit the total
amount of direct purchases to S.

contended that it was so worded that
it would prevent all sales-directly

Rather than attempt to straighten

PrevaiIing-Wag Law
Makes Paving Costs
Higher on u. ). Jobs
Many Such Projects
Awarded in Contracts
For Erecting Buildings
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The confusion existing in
Washington as to prevailing"
wage rates for construction
workers generally applies even
to a greater degree in the paw
ing industry and has cost the
Government uncounted thou
sands of dollars, especially where
the jobs are within the grounds
of public buildings.
In paving there is definite wage
scale which admittedly holds for a
vast majority of the industry's work
in this section. Yet in many in
stances, the Government pays con-
siderably higher wages to get its
work done. Contracts frequently
are let to include both the building
and paving around it, when by let
ting separate contracts the paving
could be done at much less cost.
As result of this situation, the
cost of a paving job depends on
who does it. If the paving job is
let to contractor employing C. I.
o. labor, the cost will be less than
if the paving job is done as part Of
a general building contract, en-
ploying A. F. L. labor According
to C. I. o. spokesmen the same in
dividuals sometimes work on both
types Of jobs, temporarily transfer
ring from the c. I. o. to the A. F.
L., on payment of a fee which en-
titles them to work on A. F. L. Jobs.
Paving workers generally were
