Laborers To Get
20 Cents Hour
Chairman E. 8. Jeffress announc
ed yesterday, states an article In
yesterdays News-Obserrer, that the
North Carolina Hlchway Commis
sion has reluctantly agreed to the
for unakilled labor proposed by the
United States Bureau of Roads for
the wage scale to be paid by con
tractors on projects from the fed
eral emergency approprlattion for
hlgtowayi. The minimum pay for
skilled workers will be 30 cents an
hoar.
Approximately 1,500 men are ex
pected to be pat to work in this
state as a result of the first letting
of contracts on August 16 and
about five times that number are
expected to be employed when all
contracts shall have been let. Con
tractors will be required to complete
projects by July 1. 1934 and are
expected to work two shifts of men,
each for three days of ten hours
each. The new scale of pay is about
50 per cent higher than that pre
viously paid here for exactly the
same work.
Mr. JeCress himself Arst inclined
to a minimum wage of 20 cents an
hour in view of the fact that the law
limits iu view of the fact that the
law limits the employment of any
individual to 30 hours a week. How
ever, he later adopted the view of
members of his commission that a
wage of not more than 15 cents
should be required because of the
even lower price* for which unskill
ed labor can now be obtained in
North Carolina and because of the
fact that such a scale would permit
the employment of more persons.
T Instate Highway, Commission at
its meeting last w?M flatly refused
to wtt the propttM^iicale of pay
aaA-KH Jeffress has nnee used every
effort to secure a modification of
the proposal of the United States
Bateau of Reads. However, Ur. Jeff

the entire Southern tier of states
and that higher scales will be put
into effect fat other sections of the
