He 3,000 Employees of State Aided By NRA Program Department of Public Works Is Following Five-day-week Basis at Same Pay Rate More than 3,000 per diem employees in the department of public works are to be placed on a five-day-week basis without reduction in wages. This was the decision made recently by Earl Lee Kelly, director of the departments, following receipt of a letter from Governor James Rolph Jr. ordering all departments of state government to cooperate 100 percent with the president of the United States by stimulating employment. Statisticians of the department are engaged in computing the average weekly earnings of per diem workers for the past year. From these figures will be established the average daily earning of per diem workers and pay schedules will be adjusted accordingly. It is the intention of the department, says Kelley, to play its part in the national recovery act by shortening workers' hours without correspondingly decreasing their average weekly wage, to the end that the spending capacity of these 3,000 employees may not be impaired and possibly a few additional men employed. “This department will comply immediately with Governor Rolph's request that 'my administration march 100 per cent with the president of the United States in this great offensive against depression,' said Kelly. “Prior to the passage of Assemblyman Michael Burns’ bill calling for a five day week for per diem workers in the state government,” he continued, “our maintenance men were working six days per week and our highway shop men five and one-half days per week. Under the governor’s orders, with which we are in entire accord in this department, maintenance men will work five days per week at a per diem rate, which will accrue to them approximately the same weekly earning as they do.” Peter Finds Home Because his picture resembled a son who had drowned, Peter Christopolis, 13, in an Omaha Orphan Home since being 2 years old, is now living in the home of Jean Strengs a wealthy silk manufacturer of Paterson, N.

Aqueduct Setting New Tunnel Mark 91 Miles Under Way For Largest Amount of Tunnel Ever Carried Forward at One Time Marked acceleration of progress on the giant 13-mile San Jacinto tunnel of the Colorado river aqueduct is in prospect as work commences on the west portal of the huge bore that is to pierce a flank of one of Southern California’s highest mountains. With more than one-third of the main line of the aqueduct project under way or contracted for, the San Jacinto tunnel constitutes one of the major jobs that has been launched, district officials pointed out. At the present time, 2,400 men are engaged on the aqueduct job. The aqueduct forces are being increased at a rate of 500 per month. Steward Tells Permit NRA Blue Eagle Sign of Insignia to Signing President’s Agreement Regulations Are Lived Up Employers; Consumers Allow While it is the desire of those in employment campaign to see widespread N. R. A. which bears the words, “We by O. E. Steward, general in charge serious offense on the part of anyone insignia. Mr. Steward made it plan that the NRA official emblem is the property of the United States government and may not be used or reproduced without authority of the NRA. “The government’s regulations permit the use of this emblem,” continued Mr. Steward “by all employers who sign the president’s re-employment agreement and comply with it, and the regulation also permit consumers to wear or display a similar badge but only in the form authorized for consumers who sign a statement of co-operation. “The government’s regulations allow provide that by application to the NRA any responsible manufacturer will authorize to make and offer for sale hangers, cards, and stickers provided (a) that he agrees to conform to regulations to prevent the emblem coming into hands of employers not authorized to use it, (b) he himself has signed the president’s agreement and is authorized to use the emblem; and (c) he will sell at a reasonable price. Information regarding manufacturers authorized to supply the emblem will be issued by the NRA from time to time. “Every manufacturer shall require every employer ordering such emblem that he affix to his order one of the 1 inch stickers. Any newspaper, magazine, or other publication is authorized to reproduce the emblem in the advertisement of any employer, provided such employer files with the newspaper magazine or other publication a written statement that he has signed the preset” United States in this great offensive against depression," said Kelly. "Prior to the passage of Assemblyman Michael Burns' bill calling for a five day week for per diem workers in the state government," he continued, "our maintenance men were working six days per week and our highway shop men five and one-half days per week. Under the governor's orders, with which we are in entire accord in this department, maintenance men will work five days per week at a per diem rate, which will accrue to them approximately the same weekly earning as they have enjoyed in the past. Shop employees will work five days instead of five and one-half at the same average weekly earning as heretofore. "Governor Rolph puts it most aptly in his letter when he says: "'Over this entire nation is sweeping a wave of patriotic fervor, a peacetime wave of unity and accord such as swept us to victory in the World war. In the latter we waged a struggle to the death against mankind. In the former we are waging a struggle to live for mankind.'" "I believe our new working schedule will be ready for operation within a week." Kelly concluded. The governor's letter which lead to Kelly's action is as follows: "Sacramento, August 4, 1933. "TO HEADS OF STATE DEPARTMENTS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY EMPLOYING STATE EMPLOYEES: "In initiating the five-day week for per diem workers in your department under the terms of the bill of Assemblyman Michael Burns which has now become law, please bear the following thoughts of mine in mind: "I am unalterably opposed to any adjustment of working schedules to meet the terms of the law that will reduce the weekly or monthly wage of the workers. In other words, I do not believe any self-supporting agency, nor any department paid out of the general fund, should arbitrarily reduce the working time of their employees and at the same time arbitrarily force a wage cut upon them—especially where funds are available which make such action unnecessary. "Over this entire nation is sweeping a wave of patriotic fervor, a peacetime wave of unity and accord such as swept us to victory in the World war. In the latter we waged a struggle to the death against mankind. In the former we are waging a struggle to live for mankind." "It is my demand that my administration march 100 per cent with the president of the United States in this great offensive against depression. President Roosevelt asks shorter hours with no reductions in pay so that men may be employed without the purchasing power of the people being impaired. The entire nation is in agreement with him in the belief that if labor is the Colorado river aqueduct is in prospect as work commences on the west portal of the huge bore that is to pierce a flank of one of Southern California's highest mountains. With more than one-third of the main line of the aqueduct project under way or contracted for, the San Jacinto tunnel constitutes one of the major jobs that has been launched, district officials pointed out. At the present time, 2,400 men are engaged on the aqueduct job. The aqueduct forces are being increased at a rate of 500 per month. The opening of the west portal of the San Jacinto bore, located near the town of San Jacinto, is expected to result in a marked increase in progress on the tunnel. A crew of men is now engaged in making the approach cut to the tunnel face itself. Work on the San Jacinto unit has been in progress for several months at two vertical shafts—one near Cabazon and the other located about a mile south of the Wolfskill ranch. The Cabazon shaft, it is learned, has been driven to a depth of 242 feet, and tunnel crews are now ready to drive a point for a distance of 1,000 feet to the horizontal adit, or shaft, from that site of the main tunnel. The second shaft, known as the Potrero shaft, has been driven to a depth of 192 feet, with 814 feet yet to be excavated before the site of the line of the main tunnel is reached. The San Jacinto unit is being carried forward for the metropolitan water district by Wencel and Henock company of Milwaukee. Work actually launched, or contracted for and soon to be started, amounts to approximately $58,000,000. Included in the aqueduct job is 91 miles of tunnel, of which approximately 84 miles is now under way. This constitutes the largest amount of tunnel ever to be carried forward at one time in the history of engineering. The aqueduct tunnel units include the following: Valverde tunnel, seven miles; Bernasconi tunnel, one mile; San Jacinto tunnel, thirteen miles; Whitewater tunnels, two miles; Coachella tunnels, thirty-three miles; Messa Pass tunnels, one mile; Cottonwood tunnel, four miles; Hayfield tunnels, three miles; Iron Mountain tunnel, eight miles; Eagle Mountain tunnels, seven miles; Coxcomb tunnel, three miles; and Whipple Mountain tunnels, ten miles.

"It is my demand that my administration march 100 per cent with the president of the United States in this great offensive against depression. President Roosevelt asks shorter hours with no reductions in pay so that men may be employed without the purchasing power of the people being impaired. The entire nation is in agreement with him in the belief that if labor is returned to work at an equitable wage, the spending power of the state or nation necessarily will increase and prosperity be returned. "We would not be in step with the great leaders of the nation if we forced our state employees to work less time per week at the same time take from them part of their earnings which now go for food, clothing, and shelter for themselves and their children. "With kind thanks for your immediate cooperation and best personal regards." Reports 2 Lengths of Hose Stolen E. M.

Four counties are this year cooperating in a program by which each county school system will prepare an exhibit showing the home life of some nation of the world, including its history, arts and crafts and native dress. This program will be expanded next year to make the educational display a colorful world's fair in miniature. The pioneering counties this year are Inyo, representing Canada; Colusa, representing Switzerland; Sacramento, representing Holland; and Imperial representing Mexico. These national displays will be one of the features of the educational exhibits which this year will occupy the two floors of the grandstand building.
