until those given employment can find work in other channels. "It is unthinkable.” the mayors declared in a statement after conferring. with high federal officials, “that this great attempt to give work and wages instead of direct relief should be discontinued on Feb. 15, when the present funds will have been depleted.” The 4.000,000 workers receiving blue CWA pay vouchers are in addition to 4,000,000 recently estimated

by President Roosevelt to have been re-employed as a result of the na- ! tional recovery and public works programs. The President announced the CWA program on Nov. 8. Public Works Administrator Harold Ickes alloted $400,000,000 from his fund to finance the drive the same day. Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator. pledged the President i the program would be completed by 'Dec. 16.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

On Nov. 15. Mr. H&pkins held a conference with 1,019 senators, congressmen, mayors. Governors and state relief adminisrators here. The meeting lasted all day and far into the night. The officials sped back to their homes. Two days later first returns of the world’s greatest battle against unemployment trickled in. Chicago reported 20,000 at work. Thousands

received jobs in Texas. The drive was on. The pressure here was terrific. Mr. Hopkins drove himself and his staff almost to the limits of human endurance. Thousands of problems were decided as fast as they could be brought to the attention of the proper officials. Red tape took a holiday. Like a field marshall checking up on the results of a campaign, Administrator Hopkins called each

state administrator late yesterday. Some had exceeded their quotas. A few had lagged. But the battle was won. The 4,000,000 are at work. That means aproximately $49,000,000 is being paid out in salaries every week. The mayor's committee, consisting of Mayor-elect Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York, James A. Curley of Boston, Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee. S. H. Walmsley of New r Orleans, Meyer Ellenstein of Newark, R. C. Sparks of Akron, Henry

Holcombe of Houston, city manager Dvkstra of Cincinnati, and Paul V. Betters of Chicago, congratulated Mr. Hopkins last, night, then went into sesron with Treasury Chief Henry Morgenthau, director of the budget Lewis Douglas, and officials of the Federal Reserve and R. F. C. “To turn back the 4,000,000 persons to the relief rolls would be disastrous." they said In a statement. “Congress should, therefore, make available funds to carry on temporarily.”
