Critics argued monopolies dominate the food system and may affect producer prices.

Committee Backs Relief Funds for WPA Jobs
The House Appropriations Committee reported favorably a $250,000,000 supplemental relief bill sought by President Roosevelt to fund 750,000 Works Progress Administration jobs through June. If the Senate acts swiftly it could reach the President for signature by week’s end. WPA officials testified the addt’l funds would keep rolls near 2.0 million next month, or WPA would cut to about 1.0 million. By June the WPA workforce is expected to drop to 2.36 million as seasonal work ends.
