Stresses Low Wage Dr. King emphasized th of low State wage rates “Clearly it would be fuly to pay high prices for the labor of those at present unemployed. Many of them are constitutionally inefficient. Most of them would be unskilled at the tasks which the State needs to have done. Furthermore. it should not be the pur- pose of the State to divert them perma- nently from their customary fields of work. “The pay, then, should be just sufficient to keep them from want. but not enough to make them desire to Tetaln position with the State indefi- perience everywhere for centuries ws that charity breaks down the ‘Unemploy- The 2im necessity give it. | outlined by a group cof experts and the | | lce with complete statistical knowledge of society should be to eliminate both as fully as possible.” Dr. King emphasized that emplcyes of the State would not willingly work for the State on such a low wage, but that since they could maint2in subsicten they would not rightfully be able to call | for charity, unemployment insurance or | any other fcrm of “dole.” Employes for the State also would be required to work ments of the working rules.
