Coalition forms to tie up WPA wage proposal in House
In Washington on July 25 a new dispute over WPA wage scales emerged as senators debated attaching a prevailing wage rider to the $2.39 billion lending bill. Senator Murray abandoned a push in the Appropriations Committee and signaled intent to attach the provision. Senator Adams cautioned Senate attachment, while Senator Russell anticipated southern opposition. McCarran helped draft a plan to bypass a cost of living clause, provoking New England protests that northern WPA wages could fall. Senator Wagner supported the amendment but warned it might delay the lending bill. Senator Vandenberg denounced the measure as a device to evade the debt limit and to socialise business, urging rapid adjournment and predicting continued debate. The bill’s path remained unsettled as other measures triggered hours of debate.
