OPPOSITION

ON RELIEF BILL

McCarran Amendment

EMERGENCY WORK PLANS ARE CONSIDERED LIKELY TO PROVE TOO COSTLY

Washington, To-day. The first major defeat for the Roosevelt forces in the contest over the Relief Bill occurred when the Senate, by 44 votes to 43, sup- ported organised labour in approv- ing the McCarran amendment, re- quiring that on emergency public works "the prevailing rate of wages" shall be paid.

This rules out the limit of $50 monthly provided for in the ori- ginal bill

Before the vote a letter was 1ead from President Roosevelt stating that the existing wages would be protected in adminis- trating the bill.

-During the debate Senator Carter Glass said he had good reason to believe that the Pre- sident would vote the $4,880,000,- 000 bill if it reached him contain- ing the prevailing wage amend- ment.
