Relief Wages Under Attack in New Work Program Plan
Senator McCarran warned against a tentative wage rate schedule for the $4 billion work relief program that would cut pay by about 30 percent. The proposal, not yet submitted to President Roosevelt, would set rates from 29 to 85 cents an hour depending on skill, with monthly earnings varying by region and skill level. He urged labor allies to oppose the plan, arguing it would erode the wage floor and harm workers while letting private industry compete with nations paying little or no wage minima.
