Dec. ».—Scatter- ed from Maine to California, are 2.5<>0,(M)0 workers v*ho are carrying home weekly pay envelopes be- cause of the new-civil works pro- gram, according to Harry L. Hop- kins, federal civil works adminis- trator. By the end of the month, he say*, the total should be up to •umo.ooo. Of this total. luS.OOO are women. states were not all in when Mr. Hopkins concluded his press con- ference this morning. But his esti- mate of the total was 2.r»oo,00t«, as against 1.3tiOJ5<5£ lor the last week. In the expense of the gigantic un- dertaking, probably the greatest in history, the states share 30 per cent. States where work is going rap- idly include Wisconsin. Ohio, Tex- as. Indiana. States where things Many of the 2,n00,o«0 workers would be out on the streets beg- ging. Mr. Hopkins said, if they had not been put to useful work. They are doing everything today, from repairing roadways to cleaning up rat-infested areas. The latest report is that 11U4 of them will be put to work excavat- ing, restoring and investigating seven Indian mounds and village rites which were occupied in pre- historic days in western states. It took a modern- business cycle to uncover these ancient mounds. Some of the states Hopkins said, are slow in pushing the program: others are rapid; in fact amusement was caused by West Virginia, which sent a tele- pram in today leaving Mr. Hopkins aghast with informal ion that it ap- I»aren-t1y not only met its legal lim- it but exceeded it. Jus-t what hap- I>ens to a state that does that, does not yet seem to be certain. The telegraphic reports from the look \slow Mr. Hopkins said, in- clude some of the big industrial states, like Massachusetts, Xew York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois and others. It takes longer to get big states organized, he said. A deadline has been set for Dec. 15. and if adequate progress has not been made within respec- tive states by that time, they may have their quotas reduced. Everything iis being done to speed things up. Every state of- fice has been mired to clean up ap- proval of projects on the same day today, Mr.J submitted, and; to telegraph cities involved when approval is com- pleted. Other big relief tasks are being simultaneously rushed, like purchase of hogs and cattle, which go to feed some of the workers. New York look a big spurt for- ward thi* week from 140,000 to 17.\» workers, the figures show- ed, and Massachusetts paid 13,000 last meek, but has 73,t*oO at work this meek.
