July —<AP)— Men, not mnehines, arc to be favored for jobs resulting from the new $120,000,- 000 in Federal highway aid. | And these worker3~-skilled and un skilled alike must be employed on a 30-hour weke basis and paid salaries specltiod A ll contracts between the government and those who undertake the road construction. So apeclfices the law. The Bureau of Public Roads is ready to speed the expenditure of many millions next month out of the money made available under the new relief law. But Secretary Hyde must prepare regulations to carry out the congressional mandate of “the maxi mum employment of local labor con- \ sistent with reasonable economy of' construction.” I Under this proviso, the progress of machinery in forcing out hand labor j will be curtailed, and it is said at the j bureau that disputes undoubtedly j would favor enforcement.
