IERC estimates were that 80,000 persons would still be on reUef after the WPA became fully operative.

Robert Dunham, state WPA director, blamed the legislature for the dilemma. "If there were no election next year, we'd have some action this fall," he said. After WPA Takes Load Interchanges of opinion the members was heated at UmesH and several suggested that the commission go Into executive session, "to avoid publicity." frank in his criticism of the state legislature and Governor Horner. "The relief situation should have been included in the call which brought the legislature into special session this fall," he said, "but the governor and the legislature do hot seem to appreciate the emergency; but are Just drifting along." Chairman John C. Martin engaged Hunter in a series of cross-questions as to what the state was to do for employables left on Illinois relief rolls after "Dunham takes his 183300 on WPA." Commission estimates, Martin contended, showed that 42,000 employable persons would be left to the state's care after WPA assumed its load.

"Your figures are wrong," Hunter replied. "After Dunham gets 183,500 to work by Dec. he can take enough during that month to bring the total to he can find them. Frankly, I don't believe you have 200,000 employable cases on relief in Illinois, If you can find 6000 them around to Dunham and he will put them to work." Need $5,000,000 In December After this discussion, the commission voted to ask the federal government for $5,210,207 during December, and then voted to supplement WPA wages with state funds in deserving cases. This action, the members 'fel would prove a savings to, the commission, since many who would otherwise refuse, WPA employment due to the difference in the wage scale and the relief allotment would take the Jobs.
