WPA Commissioner Forecasts Loud Howl Over Wage Equalization
Francis Harrington, WPA commissioner, said he expects a loud howl when the plan to equalize northern and southern wage scales takes effect, but he will not seek changes in his handling of protest strikes or request new legislation at this time. He announced immediate 30 day furloughs for WPA workers under the new law, noting delaying furloughs could collapse projects due to 80 workers suddenly gone. Harrington spoke at a press conference with WPA directors from 48 states and Hawaii, regional officers, and his Washington staff. He estimated the wage gap would not exceed about 25 percent based on living costs.
