WAGE-HOUR LAW FOES BALKED IN DRIVE TO AMEND

Andrews’ Able Enforcement Seen as Factor in Act's Popularity.

By LUDWELL DENNY

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 81. — The minority group of employers trying to wreck the Wage-Hour Law aprarently will be defeated by the Administration. No strong Congressional bloc has taken up the recent demand for repeal by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, despite attacks on the alleged nflexibility of the law yesterday by Senators George (D. Ga.) and Smith (D. S. C). The move to nullify the law with the canner-packers amendment in the House is being successfully councered by the Administration. THe Sowaown a. will come

Doomed, but Doesn't Know It

tw Because the Chattanooga News printed a story mentioning his ambition to be a jockey and win the Derby, 16-year-old Fred Roy Jr, smiles and jokes with his nurse as he sits in his baby bed at a Chattanooga hospital. What Fred, called “Small Change” because he's only four feet tall, doesn't know is that he is dving by reason of his unbalSnces anatomy. The News published its regular edition with the true story, then ran a special edition of six copies for “Small Change"— wri tten SO he wol ld never know of his doom.

National vesiigaiors Cite Local Family Plagued With Vermin.

WASHINGTON, May 31 (U.P) .— The American Association of Social

| Workers today made public a survey

of relief conditions which described “shocking human misery” among

| the unemployed.

The survey has been presented to committees considering the WPA appropriation bill. It said that in January 1939, there were more than 23,000,000 people dependent on relief. The survey described the plight of one unemployed man who, despite an injury, stays awake at night to | guard his wife and nine children from rats. He lives in Indianapolis {and was identified only as “Mr. Stinger.” He and one of his children,

aged 2, have been bitten by rats, -

said. $1-a-Month House Another Indianapolis man, iden- | tified as “Mr. Brown,’ lives with his {wife and seven children in a three{room house for which the ey $1 a month. Insects and make sleep impossible, found. The survey covered 35 states and the Territories of Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Tt pendent on “uncertain and ofttimes nonexistent general relief provisions” in many states as “American refugees with no place to go.” Walter West, association secretary, said the facts revealed “emphasize the need for a new approach to the problem of providing basic public assistance.”

16 Instances Noted

Sixteen instances were cited to support the contention that the so“American refugees” are entitled to “adequate ana decent public aid if our democratic system is to fulfill the ideas of its founders They include these statements: Sixty-five agencies administer relief in one county. The Ohio Legislature has passed 82 relief bills since 1931. Relief victims are evicted from their homes. Areas in which relief is awarded only during severe iliness or other emergencies often do not consider being without food or money for rent or fuel as constituting an emergency In 254 Texas counties the only assistance available is Federal surplus commodities. One state reported that food grants are approximately one-fifth of a minimum standard food budget prescribed by the U. S. Agriculture Department. No assistance is available to nonresidents and transients in South Carolina, and in some southern Florida counties a “hobo express” is operated to transport vagrants out of the county. In Atlanta a family of four was found to be receiving only $6.70 a month for food while in Taos, N. M., food grants averaged $2.50 monthly. The average monthly amount per case reported for general relief in January,

being

Leon 1938, was $38.16 in New York: $30.97

in California; $4.82 in Arkansas and

$2.91 in Mississippi.
