John Phillips, head of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, told Lt Governor Kennedy he did not intend to interfere with the United Mine Workers when offering WPA CCC and PWA workers membership in the International Hod Carriers and Builders Union.

The plan aims to uncover substantial untaxed wealth, noting wide disparities in reporting and assessment across counties.
