WORK RELIEF WAGES
There is considerable criticism le%-eled at the wage scale
announced for the four billion dollar work relief program
Organized labor leaders are attacking it from two angles,
one that the wage is inadequate to maintain a decent stand
ard of living and again on grounds that it will tend to drive
down wages in private industry.
It is true that a wage of from S19 to S94 a month is low
but it cannot be overlooked that the work relief program is
based solely on reviving private industry and not as a per
manent remedy for unemployment. Unless the government
is prepared to spend many millions more than now planned
it cannot be expected to establish a high standard of living
for 3,500,000 people who are now unemployed. The pro
gram is an emergency measure aimed to stimulate business
and give work relief to those who can find no jobs until in
dustrial revival gets into full swing. It is a matter of what
we as a country can afford and not what we would like to
afford.
Neither is the criticism that it will tend to drive down
the wage scale in private industry valid. The law itself
requires that the President increase the present scale if ex
perience shows him that it affects adversely the going rates
of wages paid for similar work in private industry. It also
seems unjust to attack on this premise an Administration
which steadfastly has stood for higher wages in all industry
and which is one of the basic planks of the recovery program.
President Roosevelt has insisted from the start that
wages on work relief should be larger than the amount re
ceived as a relief dole but not so large as to encourage re
jection of opportunity for private employment. It is the
only logical course to follow if the public works program is
to be a success and fulfill its avowed purpose—injecting new
life blood into the veins of stagnant industry.—Exchange.
