‘Ma' Avers Texas Jobless Situation to Be Grave When CWA Work Ends
SAYS PRESENT
RELIEF BILLS
NOT ADEQUATE
AUSTIN. Feb 16 rAV-Oov Mir-
iam A. Ferguson Saturday called
for “every dollar that can be made
available from public or private
source” to help meet the unemploy-
ment situation In Texas.
With her husband former Gov.
James E. Ferguson as spokesman
by whose side she sat. the chief exec-
utive warned Texans that the un-
employment situation “with new
complications which have arisen is
imperative and grave."
To Drop 46OM
She showed a telegram from Harry
L. Hopkins federal relief adminis-
trator ordering 40.000 persons drop-
rfrom the CWA pay roll on Feb.
The excutive said a similar num-
ber would be abandoned each week
until on March 28. the entire CWA
force will have been dissipated.
Gov. Ferguson said the proposed
64300000 relief bond issue suggest-
ed by the legislature now in spe-
cial session at her call to enact
amergency legislation bearing on the
rituatlon would be wholly inade-
quate to meet existing needs.
Virtually all of the 62.750.000 real-
ised from the sale of state bonds has
been expended. A sale of an equal
amount of securities has been ex-
pended A sale of an equal amount
of securities has been advertised
for February 20. Considerable diffi-
culty was experienced in dispos-
ing of the first block. The Texas
relief commission through the gov-
ernor. has apnMrd to t*« *> -
government which has promised to
match every dollar expended bv
Texas for the needy for an advance
allotment pending acquisition of ad-
ditional state money.
Bays Situation ‘Grave*
Hie governor said the state relief
•onunisslon staff had estimated that
of those turned out by CWA not
more than 10 per cent would be ab-
sorbed by private employment. 8he
gave It as her opinion however that
not more than five per cent would
be cared for that way.
She said she wanted “the people
of Texas to be duly informed of the
gravity of the situation.”
"Cities and towns should begin at
once to make preparations to take
eare of this addition to the ranks
of the unemployed created by sus-
pension of CWA activities” the gov-
ernor said.
Cals On Charities
She called upon all charitable or-
ganizations “to begin to discus; the
matter of how to meet the situa-
tion that appears unavoidable.”
”1 also call upon all Industrial
plants and employers of labor to
make preparations as far as human-
ly possible to care for those who
art sure to be In need” the gov-
ernor said. "It now looks like we
people of Texas must prepare to
take aare of our own troubles.
Every dollar that can be made
available from public or private
sources should be put at the im-
mediate disposal of the relief au-
thorities In order that the present
program can be carried out. I am
taking the public Into my confidence
with the hope ways and means may
be eel up to meet the emergency.”

$4 Minimum Set
Valley growers at a meeting Fri-
day night decided that the oppor-
tune time had arrived for stabilis-
ing the price of cabbage and a
minimum of $6 was recommended.
Those at the meeting pointed out
that there now Is really a good de-
mand for cabbage and that this la
the time to fix a minimum and stick
by It.
All growers and shippers have been
called upon to assist In enforcement
of this mutual effort at obtaining a
fair return on the cabbage crop.
Fight Consignments
Some of the practices to be fought
in an effort to stabilize the price
will be the practice of shipping on
consignment. Growers art urged tc
stick together and not accept any ol
the $l-a-ton-down-and-more-later
propositions. It was pointed out that
there seldom is anything realized
beyond the initial payment where
growers turn their crops over on this
basis.
The association desires to have al]
violations of the agreement report-
ed.
The committee has been hard at
work in the face of a large supply
of cabbage but believes that the sit-
uation now is controllable if those
interested and standing to benefU
from co-operation are willing to give
it a try.
