WPA Workers Protests Over Lambing Season Jobs

About 100 WPA workers were dropped to let men take sheep company jobs during lambing season. Haray Mundell, WPA zone engineer, confirmed the dismissals but said workers could return after private work ends. Protests were sent to New Mexico's congressional delegation. Workers say private jobs last 20 to 25 days with pay between 15 and 25 dollars a month and require six months to re qualify on WPA rolls. Mundell noted several sheep companies offered private work and that WPA policy allows layoff if private employment offers a decent salary.
