Reasons Why Pay Rise Is Sought In Welfare Work
Representatives of holiday welfare workers push for higher wages as 30 cent local rate is judged below Taylor county prevailing scales of 32 to 52 cents. Meetings reveal 40 cent local rate out of line, with 52 workers walking off two welfare jobs after refusing 30 cent pay. A compromise offer of 40 cents was rejected and the matter was taken up with federal administrator Harry Hopkins.
