Administrator Aubrey Williams is quoted as saying. "are jobs. sanitation. and good food." I agree with Mr. Williams. But where are these destitute people to find these necessities in a State where the labor market is flooded. the State overburdened with the relief load. and the W. P. A. program curtailed. A California relief administration study of applicants for relief in 1935 reports average annual earnings of 775 migrant families. most of which received betwen $300 and $400 in 1930. and between $100 and $200 in 1935. The great influx of additional labor will cause further decrease in wage rates and a spread of labor unrest. How far.
