FERA Officials Claim System Maintains Better Morale than Doles
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. - Work-relief will likely be one Government answer to so-called permanent unemployment. This became clear when officials disclosed they were testing various methods of work-relief from one end of the country to another.
A survey showed that one million and three quarter persons, most of them heads of families, are working for relief payments.
Many experts gave a warning that the country must expect to have a large body of jobless people for years to come.
They claim the dole is cheaper than work-relief but FERA officials say the practice of making jobs for unemployed maintains the morale better besides producing public improvements and goods.
