Lonaconing Clean-up Halted by WPA Strike
Demand Town Rate of 40 cents an hour instead of WPA Rate of Pay.
Lonaconing March 23. Clearing up flood debris and repair work was practically at a standstill today following the strike of Works Progress Administration laborers. They are paid 23 1/3 cents an hour, under the WPA security wage ruling, but demand 40 cents the same as paid a few laborers by the Mayor and City Council of Lonaconing.
