Explains Work Done SIDS SS SSS With two copies of The Citizen TELLS OF TRIP OVER HIGHWAY that told of Mr. Wilcox’s obtain- ing the money for the bridges al- most two years ago, he explained the work he had done to connect Phil Barnev, author of the Key West with the mainland with “Gulf Gleam” a section of the Tampa Tribune, and Mrs. Barney were visitors in Key West recently. They enjoyed “the visit and trip over the \way. Writing in a recent sue of the Tribune the fol- lowing appeared under the caption “Off To Key West” “Your correspondent has left for Key West—by auto- mobile instead of ship this time. We'll probably be gone about one week. It’s the most interesting trio we could think of, short of a flight by air to Buenos Aires or a trip by ship to Iceland. “Years ago we drove down the Keys road as far as Plan- tation Key, just beyond Ta- vernier. Going down to the sea in cars instead of ships, it gives a chance once more to sg@ green coco palms, white sandy beaches, clear green water over coral reefs, and blue water. “Instead of white paper and blac! type.” \ Lhedhededidede al uel ( : SCOUT TROOP MEETS TONIGHT SEVERAL MATTERS OF IN- TEREST TO BE TAKEN UP AT SESSION Members of Boy Scout Troop 52 will rally this evening at 7:30 o'clock and it is expected that the full membership of the organiza- tion will be in attendance at Wesley House in the troop’s quar- ters. There are a number of matters of great interest to be taken up at the meeting, one of them, and a very important one, is the plans for presentation of a play which was discussed some time ago with the idea of using the proceeds for the summer encampment. Other plans are in formation for various activities which are desired by the troop and which will be discussed in detail at the meeting, which should have been held some time ago, but which was postponed due to the indis- position of certain members. At the last session of the troop four applications for membership were received and these will be acted on tonight. For this reason it is urged that the attendance will be large at the meeting to- night. ‘Traveling Around America GRASS, R balsa boats which trans hédud ddd au@tbeir prod and forth across Lake Titicaca, izhesd stviga bid ake fixeteoworld, ye ¥.

I don’t take all the credit for having the bridges constructed”, he said, “for other men worked long and diligently to obtain money to have the work done. But I was the man who revived the bridge proposition after it had been killed, I was the man who gave it new life, I was the man to whom the President said a loan would be granted to construct the bridges”. Mr. Wilcox told of the political activity of the WPA in_ hiring high-salaried parasites and send- ing them out all over the state to drum up support for Senator Pep- per. Mr. Wilcox said further that $84,000 was “actually stolen” from WPA funds, that should have gone to men on the relief rolls who are in need, to pay the para- sites salaries, ranging from $175 to $225 a month,/to: ‘tell -WPA workers how they: must; vote, with intimations that); if. they didn’t vote thatway they would, lose their jobs. One of the-salaries for $175, he said, went imto the home of the Dowling family in Tallahassee, making a total of $875 that family is now receiving. Reply To Pepper The reply to Senator Pepper, which Mr. Wilcox dictated and was to be read for him in the event his voice gave out, was as follows: “Senator Pepper told you that he voted for the wages and hours } bill and that I voted against it. He could have said more about me in that connection: I not only voted against the wages and hours bill but I also made a speech in the house and I was one of the group of leaders that killed the bill in the house. “Did you notice that, when he told you he supported that bill, that he didn’t say a single word about any provision of that bill? He didn’t tell you, for instance, that one provision of that bill gave workers in the eastern, northern, middle western and far western states a higher wage scale that workmen in the south, which means than the workmen in my state of Florida, which means than the workmen right here in Key West “He didn’t tell you that if you, here in Key West, did the same kind of work that a workman in New York, or Chicago, or Los Angeles, cr in any other section of those parts of the United States, the wage scale for your work would be lower than what they got. I saw no reason, why the people in the south should not be paid just as high a wage as people anywhere else in the coun- try for the same type of work; I saw no re@son why, work for work, a Key Wester should not get as high pay as a New Yorker, a Chicagoan, or anybody else. As I saw no reason why that discrim- was made against the southerner. that was one reason why I made a‘speech in the house that helped to kill the bill. “Another reason was. because negro workmen would have been put on an equality with the white ination | man had the wages:and; hours bill become a law. Now,;im speaking about this matter, there .is no in- tention whatever to criticize the negro. All of us want to see the negro enjoy peace and prosperity: People north of the Mason and Dixon line talk about the race problem in the south, but we have no race problem. But we do have race adjustment, and that adjustment is based on segrega- tion. Just as soon as we put the negro tvorkman on the same plane with the white workman, which would break down our present standard of social rela- tions between the two races, then we will have a race problem on our ha And the wages and hours bill would put into effect at problem because three bu- crats that would be created the bill would not draw any but, instead, would mpel employers in Florida l as elsewhere in the country, gro workman with the white ds. jor line on an work ou that the because there therners in « about their people did about th re vs a that sorry there were “LA CONCHA HOTEL In the Center of the Business and er Distri EXCELLENT RESTAURANT Garage——Elevator——-Fireproo!

He likes to forget he supported those measures, and he likes to forget I fought against them and that I am happy to know I helped to defeat them. “The junior senator has stres: ed the fact a thousand times in his campaign that he has sup- ported every measure the admin- istration has advocated and that he will continue to support every measure the administration will advocate. “We don’t know what is going to happen in this country with the depression down on us again and fear abroad in the land.
