DOUGLAS COUNTY TAX PAYERS' LEAGUE. By H. O. Pargeter, Secretary. Workers Perturbed Judge Busenbark reported to day that he had been visited by a delegation of WPA clients who are greatly perturbed by the sit uation. They claim, he reported, that, contrary to the claims of a labor shortage, few jobs are avail able at present. While some work is available in hayfields, the county judge said he was told, this work is only of a temporary nature, and little farm work would be available until the fall harvest. The county judge said he had Inquired Into the method of the WPA in dealing with clients who accept temporary outside employ ment and had been informed that it was the policy to restore them to the rolls when such employ ment ended. He said, however, that workers had Informed him that In some cases, at least, this policy had not been carried out In actual practice and that some workers had been forced to wait several weeks for reclassification and reemployment afler having taken outside work for a brief period. For this reason, he said, some of the workers were reluc tant to accept temporary jobs. Status Assurance Given Judge Busenbark said further inquiry will be made into this phase and an effort made to as sure every WPA client that his status would be unchanged upon conclusion of outside employment and that an endeavor would lie made to provide release of work ers for harvest duties in I he event of any emergency. Wilh 100 or more men needed for the airport project, he said, there is little danger of any com plete closure of the WPA agency, and the county court probably will not ask any restrictions on classification of workers unless it is shown that outside? work is available, and, furthermore, that If such work is accepted that the worker shall have the right to re turn immediately to the WPA em ployment roll when temporary outside employment is ended.
