stat and local legislative action would place North Carolina and South Carolina contractors on th same footing in Virginia a the Vteglnto eontractors find themselves when bidding on work In those two states The eupraaeicn of thia body of young men is due entirely to the fact that all of the contracts for the naw school house to be built in this city are going out of the state Re i cognition is given in the aeries of resolutions passed to the fact that under PWA the low bid must be the winner but th Young Club points out that when the Virginia contractor goes into either of the states mentioned to compete for work he is put to a large expense in the form of prohibitory license tax and in addition must submit to the difficult term of examination a a test of his competency The resolutions further set forth that there is no reciprocal law in Vir ginia and that the out of state con tractors may come here and bld on work without submitting to any form of examination All they have to do Is to pay a license of 81050 Th Young Men's Club is calling on the City Council and the General Assembly of Virginia to enact parallel measures which would impose the same requirements on out of state contractors as the two states men tioned do when Virginia contractors enter their competitive field The stand is taken In the resolu tions that under the exlsltlng con ditions the lack of reproclty Inures to the detriment of this elate and practically amounts to an Invasion of foreign labor into Virginia 1m portated by foreign contractors and a continual lack of employment of local
