Kelly Says: Poverty to Sit on Political Doorstep Tough Lobby Falls to Save Block Booking Goody of Oregon Wants Merit System By John W.

Th Inspired WPA strike flatten' ed out when Mr. Roosevelt repeat. mg from his attorney general's opinion, aald: "You can't strike against th government." But the coming month are full of trouble. Politicos Quickly Silenced David Leaser, chairman of Work' n Alliance, couldn't pull In his nam tut enough after Mr. Roose velt's statement; th politico In congress making a bid for A PL, CIO, Workers' Alliance and WPA votes, dropped like a hot potato uieir publicized plan to force con' gres to reverse Itself on wages and houra on WPA. Reason: Then po litico (supposed to be 33 in the senate but only Montana's Murray laentuieoi, are Roosevelt new deal era, came Into office on hi coat- tails, and when tha headman spoke iney immediately lost Interest In the cause of the strikers. Pink slips (Form 403) are being distributed to 790,000 on WPA nils as fast as the state administrators can issue them. About August It another angry shout will be heard when wage differentials an nounced. Women on sewing pro' ject In Yakima, Wash., St Helens, Ore., Atlanta, Oa and New York, N. Y., will have the same pay, dif fering only by cost of living In the respective communities. Living Cost to Govern The class by class workers will have their respective uniform wage, modified by living cost (not stand' ard of living), everywhere.

Workers in the south will have a substantial Increase they draw about sat month now. Under the new adjust ed scale, unskilled labor In the south will be paid more than in private industry. Southern legis lators engineered th revised wage provision In retaliation for the ad ministration passing tha wage-hour bill which compete employers of cheap labor In that section to pay a minimum wag and have maxi mum houra.

July 31 (CP) Advantage of routing a highway to Alaska through British Columbia was discussed Thursday In a brief submitted by the Vancouver board of trad to th Canadian section of the International British Columbia Alaska highway commission. The commissioners returned Wed nesday from a tour of northern British Columbia and the Yukon, where various proposed route were surveyed. The brief was devoted mainly to discussion of advantages of a route through British Columbia as against on "wholly or almost wholly east of this province." With the meagre data available on construction coat and division of costs variously estimated at be tween 114,000,000 and 136,000,000 between the government Involved, th board felt It wa not In a posi tion to pas Judgment on th merit of building such a road at the pres ent time. Consideration of cost, mainten ance, population In territorial ser ved, development of natural resour ces, usefulness as a tourist road, and adaptlblllty to defense purposes wen cited as th main considerations. . Proximity of the road to th coast by routing It through British -Columbia waa urged a a means of substantial saving In construction cost as construction crews could service It economically at several point by relatively low transpor tation connection from th coast Th point mentioned wen Prince Rupert Stewart the stlkln river and Skagway, Alaska.
