GOVERNMENT FORCED TO PAY PREVAILING WAGE

Washington, Feb. 21.

President Roosevelt's Administration suffered its first major defeat in the contest over the Relief Bill to- day, when the Senate divided 44-to-43 against the Government.

The Senate supported the demand of organised La- bour and approved the McCarran Amendment to the Relief Bill, which requires that on emergency public works "prevailing wages" shall be paid,

This rules out the limit of $50 a month in wages provided for in the original Bill.

Immediately before the vote was taken on the amendment, a letter from President Roosevelt was read to

the Senate: He wrote that: - oxisting wages would be protected.. In the administrating of the Bill. During the dòbate, Senator Glass, powerful factioódi leader, said he saw no good reason to be.
