UNONS HAY 1 NVLRA.STRKE Labor Delegates Attend Project Worker Rally for January 2 Walkout. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, December 16.—Un- employed and labor union delegates to a mass meeting which called & State-wide strike of W. P. A. workers, effective January 2, today sought sup- port of craft unions and unemployed organizations to present a front.” The unions were asked to adopt | resolutions favoring the strike as a protest against W. P. A. wage rates. J. C. Lewis, State Federation of La- bor president and presiding officer at the meeting yesterday, said the strike was not called by the State “united | federation but by the “30 classes of organizations” represented. He said that unless W. P. A. offi- cials complied with demands for & general 10 per cent increase in wages for all W. P. A. workers an attempt would be made to stop every project in the State. L. S. Hill, Jowa works progress ad- ministrator, declined to comment on the strike threat. J. C. Pryor, State relief administrator, said he called Lewis' attention to a relief ruling that works progress strikers would not receive relief aid. About 26,000 persons would be af- fected if the strike were successful. Lewis said the January 2 date for the strike gave ample time for nego- tiations with State W. P. A. officials. The State labor federation was au- thorized by the meeting to conduct any truce negotiations. Towa W. P. A. wage scales range from $40 to $85 for a 120-hour month. At another meeting in Staunton, 11, yesterday, delegates representing W. P. A. workers from 75 Illinois communities voted to postpone “un- til a more favorable time” a pro- posed State-wide strike in a demand for a union wage scale. Power to call a strike when con- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, ditions might be adjudged “more fa- vorable” was vested in an Executive Committee.
