Many Persons Prefer Relief to Employment
Washington Jan 24 Complaints from public works contractors that relief workers refuse offers of private employment triggered a reversal of policy under the 4 billion dollar work relief program. Hopkins ordered that workers be made available to PWA even if it delays WPA projects or curtails active ones. He told state WPA admins that Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works projects have priority in labor assignment. Implication is relief workers refusing WPA jobs lose chance to work on WPA projects. Contractors report uncertainty in persuading workers to take private PWA jobs over WPA work.
