PREVAILING WAGE LOSES. DIFFERENTIALS ABOLISHED. ENFORCED VACATIONS. NAVAL AIR BASES. Early adjournment of congress seems assured now that legislators have definite v abandoned the effort to revise our neu ality laws at this session and to re tore prevailing wages for skilled work ers on WPA projects. The efforts of the administration to get rid of the mandatory embargo on the shipments of arms and substitute for it a “cash-and-carry” plan ran into the de termined opposition of a group of sena tors, whose delight in prolonged debate could definitely prolong discussion for many weeks. Dissatisfaction of labor lead ers over abandonment of the prevailing wage for skilled workers on relief jobs led to an effort to secure a congression al amendment, but analysis of the sit uation demonstrated that a majority of congressmen were not willing to alter the provisions that congress itself insist ed upon. The only legislation of major import ance left before congress, after these con troversal issues were dropped, was the new lending program. The original pro posal had already been altered to some extent, notably in regard, to the amount available for foreign loans, and it is hardly possible to outline its form until congressional action is completed. That he lending idea, as opposed to the out right spending idea, will be adopted in irineiple seems assured but congress is expected to make changes which will revive, to a limited degree, federal con tributions to some projects. The widespread discontent of WPA vorkers over the abandonment of the pre vailing wage, expressed by serious strikes in certain areas, was directed against congress. The prevailing wage was writ ten out of the law’ by congress and nei ther the administrators of WPA nor the president had any power to change it. Declarations by officials, including the president, served notice upon strikers that they could not strike against the govern ment, and WPA officials warned that those absent from work for five days would be dismissed. Little headway was made by the protest and the strike tech nique seemed to work against the hoped br result in congress. Realizing that favorable action was improbable and that the prevaling wage fight was lost, some labor leaders turned their attention to a drive to secure addi tional funds for the PWA, which pro vides full-time jobs al prevailing rates >f pay in many sections. As the reader knows, the PWA carries on large-scale construction projects under private con tract, giving to the sponsor a grant-in id and often assisting the enterprise with a loan. Just how far this move will ■ is uncertai». The WPA administrative troubles will be aggravated on Sept. 1 when the pro vision of the new relief act goes into effect, providing for the elimination of all differentials in pay between the re gions of the country, except those due to difference in the cost of living. This will result in a reduction in pay for northern and some western sections, and an increase in pay in the south. Natur ally there will be violent protests from the workers whose wages are cut, but of ficials also expect that the new wage scale in the south, which will be high in contrast with prevailing wages, will up set labor relations in that section. While the abandonment of the prevail ing wage is based upon the theory that relief wages should be somewhat lower than private wages in order that workers will be encouraged to seek private em ployment, the effect of the abolition of the differentials will be to place wages in southern areas out of line with those normally paid in private employment. Another complication for the adminis trators of WPA is the requirement that all workers who have been on the rolls eighteen months or more must be given i month’s vacation without pay. This means that about 650,000 workers will be laid off on or before Sept. 1. Moreover, the WPA rolls will have to be cut down to 1,500,060 by next June 30. At present, it is planned to decrease the rolls until October or November, increase them dur ing the winter and make cuts again as spring gets under way. The number on WPA rolls is estimated to be 2,500,000. Os these, 650,000 will get thirty-day va cations and, in addition, it is understood that 200,000 were laid off in July, an other 200,000 will be laid off in August and about 300,000 in September. Under the provisions of the law, wage differentials must be warranted by the difference in the cost of living.

This must be determined by July 31 and Col. F. C. Harrington, ad ministrator, must set the new wage lev els. Under present regulations, the un skilled WPA workers in New York, for example, get. $56 monthly averaging 130 hours at work. Most of the southern un skilled workers get $26, with a few getting sl9 a month for working 140 hours a month. With $65,000,000 authorized for the purpose of developing and expanding air bases in the Pacific. Alaska, at Jackson ville, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico high officials of the navy, after a con ference with the president, have decided to spend more than a third of the sum available this year. In the Pacific, bases are to be constructed at Midway, John son and Palmyra Islands, Oahu, Hawaii, and in Alaska at Kodiak and Sitka. The largest base on the continent is schedul ed for Jacksonville, Fla., and the Puerto Rican base will be developed in confor mity with a plan to make it, together with the army program, of tremendous strategic value in the Caribbean area.. GOOD TIDINGS By THOMAS D. LYNN. O they crucified the Saviour, Yes. they nailed Him to the tree; There He shed His precious life-blood. That we all might be made free. Then a man whose name was Joseph, Thus according to the word. Gave to Christ his own sepulcher; There he laid our blessed Lord. As it dawned toward the morning, Just before the break of day; Lo I they came to anoint the Saviour, But the stone was rolled away. And behold, two shining angels, They were clothed in bright array; Said, “We know ye seek the Saviour,”’ But he ’rose this very day. Then he led them out to Bethany, And ascended upon high; And, according to His promise, He is coming bye and bye. With a host of shining angels, All arrayed in spotless white; And the graves will all be opened, That will be a fearful sight. When the dead shall all awaken, And shall stand before the Lord; Both, the righteous and the wicked, Shall receive a great reward. Though ’twill be a sad aplaudit For the wicked on that day, When they stand before the Judgment And shall hear the Master say. "Now depart; I never knew you, To the regions of the lost; You have heedless spurned the gospel, And you now must pay the cost.” Correction. The July 13 installment of Good Tid ings, on the subject of Titheing, carried i statement which read, “Jesus Christ was made a priest after the law of a •arnal commandment.” The reading should have been, “Jesus Christ was NOT made a priest after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. —Heb. 7 :16.” BOYS IN DUEL.

You Build—Summerville Grows HALE REALTY CO. ROME. GEORGIA A SHUT-IN. (By Mrs. Earl Miller.) Listen ! You people who have good health, You should be thankful, for it's better than wealth. In this little poem it is hard to begin To try to tell the life of a poor shut-in. They stay at home from morning till night, Everything is peaceful, nice and quiet; But they get so lonesome blue and sad And wonder what has gone with the friends they’ve had. Their friends used to love them long ago, When they could entertain, or go to a show; But now they are sick and all broke down And their friends hardly ever come around. How nice it would be as you go out in town l’o stop and visit a shut-in as you make your round, And leave a nice little vase of flowers Which they might enjoy for many hours. >r if a neighbor would try to make it a rule Co visit a shut-in en route to Sunday school —■ How much pleasanter the day would be or a poor shut-in—don’t you see? There’s nothing a shut-in enjoys any better Than watch for the postman and receive a letter; Or a shut-in's life wouldn’t seem so hard If friends would remember them with a post-card, And tell them they love them; and can sympathize—• What a pleasure 'twould be, you’d be surprised. A shut-in eats their own food all week, Should a neighbor bring them the same, oh, what a treat — Dr bring them a dish of the same ice cream, How much better to the shut-in ’twould seem. Yes! A shut-in has a lonesome time. Their family goes visiting while they stay behind; But they don't envy their family’s fun, For they know their 'Happiest days are done. There'll be no shut-ins in that beautiful land— Ml will be well, won’t that be grand? We’ll all be together, and shout and sing. For up in heaven there'll be no aches and pains. RAILROADS.
