Prevailing wage threat shakes New Deal in Senate push
Washington February 19 The fight over the 4 30 million work relief bill intensified as Senator Wagner urged paying prevailing local wages on public works projects warning that relief pay would reverse wage policy and threaten public works goals. President Roosevelt added 44 million in funds to the relief program as Ickes noted unexpended housing funds and potential projects totaling about 1 billion dollars in state and federal applications. Reports from 29 states outline 1 billion in possible work projects with 2 billion non federal and 1 billion federal requests already on file. Complete state surveys due by March 1.
