INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Chronology is to record important relationships between
the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the States, as shown by the formal
written communications from the FERA to Governors and to State Emergency Relief
Administrations, during the time in which the FERA acted as the agent of the Federal
Government in assisting the States to meet relief needs arising from unemployment.
The record extends from May 12, 1933, when the Federal Emergency Relief Act
of 1933 was approved, to December 31, 1935, when the grant-in-aid program drew to
a close. The latter date was set arbitrarily and does not mark the termination of
the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. The final grants to the States had
then been determined, however, and the program was in process of liquidation
throughout the latter half of 1935 as the Federal Government gradually withdrew
support for relief.
The Chronology covers the four major phases in the history of the FERA in the
following sections:
I. The early program.
II. Trans£er of Work Relief to Civil Works.
III. The Emergency Work Relief Program.
IV. Inauguration of the Works Program and liquidation of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
It must be pointed out, however, that no chapter is complete in itself. It is
"
inevitable that some material regarding initiation or liquidation of a particular phase
must appear in preceding or subsequent chapters.
Throughout the entire period of its administration, the FERA kept in constant
touch with the States, issuing such instructions as would insure the proper use of
Federal funds and outlining the policies, procedures, and standards to be observed
in general relief operations and in the conduct of special programs to meet special
needs. The Chronology is based chiefly on the formal written rules, serial communications, telegrams, letters, and memoranda which were sent for State guidance.
These are supplemented, however, by digests of other material either fundamental
to the relief program or indicative of its changing emphasis, such as basic laws,
pronouncements of the President, including Executive Orders, and certain regulations
and communications of the Civil Works and Works Progress Administrations. Only
communications of the CWA and the WPA that had a significant bearing on relief
operations were selected for inclusion. The FERA Chronology does not attempt
to present a record either of Civil Works, or of the Works Program which was developed by the WPA and cooperating agencies during the period of FERA liquidation
and carried forward after December 31, 1935.
In selecting the FERA data for mention in the chronological record, the objective
was to include only the more significant communications relating to the general relief
and special programs. Except for communications concerning programs that were
limited to certain areas, such as the drought-relief program, the data chosen were
generally applicable to all States. Lists of all serial communications issued by the

Introduction
FERA and by the CWA, given by series and by subject in Appendixes A, B, and C,
show which serial communications the chronological record includes and excludes.
The FERA serial communications were coded according to a system initiated in
September 1933. All excerpts in the text carry a marginal reference to source and the
codes shown below are given, with serial numbers, as citations for communications
in the following series:
A-Administration.
AO-Administrative orders.
C-Surplus commodities.
CO-Surplus commodities.
DA-Drought areas.

RS-Research and statistics.
&-Safety.
SH-Self-help cooperatives.
T-Transient.
W-Women's work.
WD-Work Division.
WDO-Working procedures for FERA work projects.
Certain appendixes carry information about material which was as a rule omitted
from text mention. References to report.a of various divisions of the FERA and to
publications of the WPA were usually omitted from the text as catalogs and subject
indexes of these publications are available and are listed in Appendix E. Information
on the Federal financing of emergency relief is shown in a tabular statement of the
funds made available to the FERA and the CWA from May 1933 through December
1935, Appendix F. In the field of current reporting, the FERA request.a and instructions which were sent from time to time were usually omitted from the running record,
but Appendix G gives a chronological list of the major forms used for current reports.
In evaluating the completeness of the FERA data included in the present record,
it must be borne in mind that the FERA communicated with the States by other
means than the formal written word. Contacts were made by telephone and also
by visits of FERA officials and members of the field staff, including field representatives and examiners, regional engineers, social workers, and research supervisors.
This record was prepared to serve the needs of administrative officials, research
workers, and others who are interested in the administration of relief. It should be
useful in all research relating to the FERA 8Jld particularly in studies of Federal,
State, and local administration. In addition, the Chronology should have value as a
re~erence handbook for those who wish to trace the development of the FERA policies
relating to specific topics. It is believed that the detailed index 8Jld the full appendixes
will be particularly useful for this purpose.

THE EARLY PROGRAM
May12,1931.
The Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933 "To provide for cooperation by the Federal Government with
the several States and Territories and the District of
Columbia in relieving the hardship and suffering caused
by unemployment, and for other purposes" is approved
by the President. Among the provisions of the act are
the following:
1. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation is directed
to make available for expenditure under this act not to
exceed $500,000,000 from its funds in addition to the
fund authorized under title I of the Emergency Relief
and Construction Act of 1932 (sec. 2a).
2. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration is
created, all the powers of which shall be exercised by a
Federal Emergency Relief Administrator; the Administration and the office of Administrator shall cease to
exist 2 years after the date of enactment of the act 1
(sec. 3a).
3. The Administrator may assume control of the
relief administration in any State where, in his judgment,
more effective and efficient cooperation between the
State and Federal authorities may thereby be secured
The Federal
Emergency Rellet
Act of 1933
(Puhllc, No. 16,
73d Cong.).
(sec. 3b).
4. The Administrator may make grants to the States
"to aid in meeting the costs of furnishing relief and work
relief and in relieving the hardship and suffering ca.used
by unemployment in the form of money, service, materials, and/or commodities to provide the necessities of life
to persons in need as a result of the present emergency,
and/or to their dependents, whether resident, transient,
or homeless" (sec. 4a).
5. Not to exceed $250,000,000 shall be granted

entitled to receive for any one quarter an a.mount equal
to one-third of the amount expended by the State, including all civil subdivisions thereof, for the above
purposes out of public moneys from all sources, during
the preceding quarter (sec. 4b).
6. The balance of the a.mounts made available by this
act, except the a.mount allowed for administrative expenditures, shall be used for grants to be made whenever
the Administrator finds that all available moneys in the
State, supplemented by any moneys available under
section 4b, will fall below the estimated needs within
the State for the purposes specified in section 4a: provided,
that the Administrator may make additional grants (a) to
aid needy persons who have no legal settlement in any
one State or community; (b) to aid in assisting cooperative and self-help associations for the barter of goods
and services (sec. 4c).
7. After October 1, 1933, notwithstanding the provisions of section 4b, the unexpended balance of the
amounts available for the purposes of section 4b may, in
the discretion of the Administrator and with the approval
of the President, be available for grants under section
4c (sec. 4d).
8. The decision of the Administrator as to the purpose
of any expenditure shall be final (sec. 4e).
9. Any State desiring to obtain funds under this act
shall through its Governor make application therefor
from time to time to the Administrator (sec. 5).
10. The Administrator upon approving a grant to
any State shall so certify to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation which shall, except upon revocation of a
certificate by the Administrator, make payments without delay to the State in such amounts and at such times
as may be prescribed in the certificate (sec. 6).
The Federal Emergency Relief Administrator assumes
office.
The Administrator sends the first general communication to the States, informing Governors that it is the
intent of the Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933 that
grants for relief to any State shall be ma.de from the
$250,000,000 available on a matching basis before any
grants are made from the second $250,000,000; that
matching is upon the basis of $1 of Federal funds to $3
from public local, State, and Federal funds expended for
relief during the preceding quarter of the year. Relief
in this instance is defined as expenditures for (1) family
relief within the home; (2) wages in cash or in kind for

work relief; (3) ca.re of homeless and transient persons
outside of institutions. Attention is called to the information on file with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation concerning relief expenditures from public funds
during the first quarter of 1933. The Administrator
states that in determining any grant he will be guided by
this information, insofar as it is complete and pertinent.
Governors are requested to notify the Administrator if
grants on a matching basis are desired.
The first grants are made to the States.'
The first general notification of grants to the States is
sent to Governors. The Administrator makes available
to each State an amount equal to one-third of its expenditures from public funds for the months of January and
February 1933, as reported to the RFC. Notice is given
that upon certification by the State of the amount actually expended during March 1933, one-third of the total
expenditure will be made available.
The Administrator expresses the opinion that the
cooperative intent of the law will be given effect if the
funds made available are used (1) for the payment of
wages in cash or in kind on work relief to applicants for
relief whose need has been properly established; (2) for
the purchase of such commodities as are properly a part
of direct relief for resident, transient, and homeless unemployed; (3) for the payment of general administration
costs, excepting those for rental of local and State
administration headquarters, salaries of regularly employed public officials assigned to unemployment relief
administration, and salaries of all relief workers not under
the direct supervision of a public relief official.
The interpretation is given that the latter costs should
be met by the States and local political subdivisions and
that State and local funds should be used for hospitalization, the care of dependent children in institutions or
boarding homes, institutional ca.re of all kinds, pensions,
and welfare activities normally carried on by State and
local politicnl ·subdivisions.
A system of current reporting is initiated by a request
for a monthly report of obligations incurred for relief
from public funds and of the number of families and nonfamily persons given relief, by counties. (See Appendix G
for a list of forms used subsequently.)
The States are requested to submit a certified statement of obligations incurred for relief during January,
February, and March, 1933.

The Federal Administrator informs Governors and
State Administrators that passage of a public works bill
in the near future is probable. He suggests that a classification of relief cases be made by occupation and ability
to work in order that prompt action can be taken when
calls are made for workers. It is noted that no decision
has been made as to methods of recruiting and that relief
officials "should expect to have only a reasonable proportion of workers taken from relief lists as distinct from
those unemployed and not on relief."
Governors and State Administrators attend a conference in Washington called by the Federal Administrator
for the purpose of acquainting them with the policies to
be pursued in the administration of the Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933.8
Following the conference, the President addresses the
group at the White House, stating, in part:

or the
Ma:,-.June JU33.
The Emergency Relief Act is an expression of the Federal
Government's determination to cooperate with the States and
local communities with regard to financing emergency relief work.
It means just that. It is essential that the States and local units
of government do their fair share. They must not expect the
Federal Government to finance more than a reasonable proportion
of the total. It should be borne in mind by the State authorities
and by the 5,000 local relief committees now functioning throughout the land that there are 4,000,000 families in need of the
necessities of life.
Obviously the Federal Emergency Relief Administrator should
put as much responsibility as possible on the State administration.
This means a competent set-up in each State • • •.
It is essential that there be effective coordination of relief and
public works in all communities • • •.
It is a primary purpose of my administration to cooperate with
the States and with industry to secure work opportunities for as
many of the unemployed as possible, by which they will find employment through normal channels. But until these jobs are
available the Federal Government, States, and every local community must provide relief for every genuinely needy unemployed
person in America.
I know that I can count on your full and complete cooperation
with the Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, and I can
assure you on his behalf of a sympathetic understanding of your
problems and of decisive action when that is necessary.
June 111, 11133.
The President approves the National Industrial
Recovery Act, authorizing the appropriation of $3,300,000,000 "to encourage national industrial recovery, to
foster fair competition, and to provide for the construction of certain useful public works, and for other

FERA Rules and Regulations No. 1, Governing Expenditures of Federal Emergency Relief Funds, a.re
sent to the State Emergency Relief Ad.ministrations
with the statement that the FERA does not intend to
correspond with local units. The SERA's 6 are requested
to distribute the regulations and to instruct local units
to refer to the SERA's for necessary interpretations.
The regulations specify that grants of Federal emergency relief funds are to be administered by public
agencies after August 1, 1933, and prohibit the turning
over of funds to private agencies. In connection with
the niJ.ing, it is stated:
FERA Rulee 11114
ReculatlonaNo. L
Hundreds of private agencies scattered throughout the land
have freely and generously offered their services in the administration of public funds. It would be a serious handicap to
relief work if the abilities and interests of these individuals were
lost. But these individuals should be made public officials,
working under the control of public authority. Thousands of
these workers are serving and will continue to serve without
pay, but, if paid, they should be compensated in the same manner
as any other public servant.

It is ruled that Federal funds granted to the States
may be used to pay for medical attention and medical
supplies for families receiving relief and to pay the cost
of shelter for the needy unemployed, but may not be
used for payment of hospital bills, for the boarding out
of children either in institutions or private homes or for
providing general institutional care. It is noted that
the latter services to the destitute should be made available through State or local funds.
As persons employed on work-relief projects by the
States or their subdivisions are not Federal employees,
it is ruled that premiums for accident insurance in connection with work-relief programs may not be paid from
Federal funds, but should be paid out of State or local
moneys.
The first unmatched grant to a State, under section
4c of the Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933, is made

FERA Rules and Regulations No. 2 are issued. It is
ruled that Federal relief funds cannot be granted on the
basis of expenditures for (I) rental of buildings used for
relief operations; (2) salaries of regularly employed public
employees other than those employed full time in connection with emergency unemployment relief and under
the supervision of the unemployment relief authority
and salaries of relief workers not working directly under
the supervision of the unemployment relief authority;
(3) the purchase of automobiles and other equipment
used in connection with relief administration.
The first instructions regarding assistance to cooperative and self-help organizations are issued. Directions
are given regarding application and accounting for
funds. The appointment of a person on the State administrative staff to be responsible for the development
of this program is suggested.
Attention is called to the requirement of the Federal
Emergency Relief Act of 1933 that the State shall make
application for funds through its Governor and application forms are transmitted to State Administrators.
FERA Rules and Regulations No. 3 are issued, giving
instructions concerning the following subjects:
1. The administration of Federal emergency relief
funds by •public agencies (Supplement to Rules and
Regulations No. I).
A public agency is defined as (I) a public welfare
department supported by taxes and controlled by the
local government; (2) a local unemployment relief
administration that has full authority and control in
the expenditure of State and Federal public relief funds,
conforms to the rulings of the SERA and maintains the
records and forms required by the SERA. Local public
agencies must be approved by the SERA. In the absence
of creative local legislation, an agency created and sustained by executive action may be recognized as a public
agency.
A public official or public agent is defined as a person
who is engaged in carrying out the purposes of the public
agency, who is a member of the official staff and who is
responsible to the chief executive employed to administer
unemployment relief. His compensation may or may
not be paid from public funds.

integral part of a public agency. Visible evidence of the
integration must be shown by: use of the name of the
public agency at all times; use of all records and forms
of the public agency. All bills must be paid directly by
the public agency. It is expected that there will be
cooperative relationships between public and private
agencies on matters other than the determination of
relief, but the public agency shall not pay for supplemental services so rendered by private agencies.
2 . .Adequacy of relief-work relief or direct relief.
Relief shall be given as provided in this act to all
needy unemployed persons and/or their dependents.
Those whose employment or available resources are
inadequate to provide the necessities of life for themselves and/or their dependents are included.
An obligation is imposed to see that the needy receive
"sufficient relief to prevent physical suffering and to
maintain minimum living standards" and to see that no
relief is given to persons who are not actually in need.
A maximum of efficiency and economy, with a minimum
of delay in providing relief should be developed.
The amount of relief must be based on an estimate of
the weekly needs of the individual or family and an
estimate of the weekly income, including wages or other
cash income, farm or garden produce, and all other resources. The relief given should be sufficient to provide
the estimated weekly needs to the extent that the
family is unable to do so from its own resources.
The foJlowing types of relief may be allowed through
cash, orders, or in kind: (1) food, determined by the
number, ages, and needs of the individual members of
the family in general accordance with standard food
schedules; (2) provision of shelter or its equivalent;
(3) light, gas, fuel, and water for current needs; (4) necessary household supplies; (5) clothing; (6) medicine,
medical supplies and/or medical attendance to be furnished in the home.
3. Investigation and service-work relief and direct
relief.
The investigation of all applications for relief is required and the following rules are established:
Each local relief administration should have at least
one trained and experienced investigator on its staff.
There should be not less than 1 supervisor, trained and
experienced in the essential elements of family case work
and relief administration, to supervise the work of not
more than 20 investigating staff workers.

Ohronowgy of tM Fed6ral Emergency Relief Administration
A registration record of all local applications for relief
should be kept at a central office.
The minimum investigation shell include a prompt
visit to the home; inquiry as to real property, bank accounts, and other financial resources of the family; an interview with at least one recent employer; determination
of the ability and agreement of family, relatives, friends,
churches, and other organizations to assist; also the liability under public welfare laws of the several States, of
members of a family, or relatives, to assume such support
in order to prevent such member becoming a public
charge.
Investigation shall be made, not only of persons applying directly to the office, but also of those reported to it.
There must be contact with each family through visits
at least once a month or oftener, if necessary. Investigators should not be overloaded with cases. While no
exact standard is being set as to the number of cases per
worker, State Administrators should see that a sufficient
number of workers are utilized in ea.ch local relief district
to insure reasonable investigation procedure.
Duplication of relief must be avoided, and every precaution should be taken to prevent overlapping of relief
agencies, both public and private.
Frequent and careful reinvestigation should be undertaken at regular intervals.
4. Direct relief shall be in the form of food, shelter,
light, fuel, necessary household supplies, medicine, medical supplies, and medical attendance, or the cash equivalent of these to the person in his own home.
Direct relief does not include relief, where provision is
already made under existing laws, for widows or their
dependents and/or aged persons. Bills for hospital or
institutional care may not be paid, nor the cost of boarding out of children.
Feed for livestock and seed for gardens cannot be
allowed unless the family is enabled thereby to produce
additional food for immediate family needs.
Shelter allowances include. payment of current rent or
its equivalent and are further interpreted to include tax
or mortgage interest payments on the home and land
occupied and held title to by the relief recipient where
the allowance is no greater than the normal minimum
rent allowance and where such payment is necessary to
prevent the loss of the home and the eviction of the
owner.

TM Early Program
In no instance shall a relief grant be made which
directly or indirectly makes possible an increased. capital
investment in private properties.
5. The following instructions on work-relief wages
and projects are given:
All work-relief wages shall be based upon the relief
need of the individual and/or his dependents.
The rate of wages should be a fair rate of pay for the
work performed. Total compensation should meet the
budgetary requirement of the relief recipient.
Payment shall be by check, in cash, or in kind.
Allowance should be on the basis of day's wages, or
the equivalent, for the hours worked.
Work relief should be allowed only those who are
employable.
There shall be no discrimination because of race,
religion, color, noncitizenship, political affiliation, or
because of membership in any special or selected group.
Where skilled personnel is required, skilled wages for
skilled work must be paid. Such personnel taken from
the work-relief lists should be staggered. Where such
skilled personnel is required full time, it should be
provided otherwise than on a work-relief basis.
Work-relief projects must be projects undertaken on
Federal, State, or local public properties. Work projects
for private institutions or agencies, nonprofit or otherwise, are therefore prohibited except as such projects,
undertaken by governmental units, may benefit the
public health or welfare.
Work-relief projects must be for work undertaken by a
State or local relief administration independent of work
under a contract or for which an annual appropriation
has been made. It must be, in general, apart from
normal governmental enterprises and not such as would
have been carried out in due course regardless of an
emergency.
Persons employed on work-relief projects by the States
and their subdivisions ought to be covered by compensation or accident insurance. If such insurance is provided
it must be carried by State or local moneys. (See Rules
and Regulations No. I, p. 5.)
All local work-relief projects must be submitted for
approval to the SERA's.
6. Rules on relief for transients define settlement, for
the purposes of the Federal Emergency Relief Act of
1933, as residence within a State for a period of I continuous year or longer. Hence, all persons in need of

relief who have not resided in a State for 12 consecutive
months may be considered as proper claims on the FERA,
under section 4c of the act, which provides for additional grants to States "to aid needy persons who have
no legal settlement in any one State or community."
Needy persons who have resided in a State for more
than a year, but who may be termed "transient" in that
they may not have acquired legal State or local settlement, are to be classified as coming within the usual
meaning of relief under section 4a of the act.
Programs and projects for the care of transients shall
be approved and supervised by the SERA's. Requests
for Federal funds shall be accompanied by information
on the number of transients to be cared for, the program
proposed, and its probable cost. li acceptable plans are
submitted, grants will be made over and above the grants
made for direct relief and work relief.
The SERA's shall file with the FERA such reports as
may be required on requests for and expenditure of
funds allowed for transient persons as defined under
section 4c of the a.ct.
Transients may be provided for either through direct
relief or work relief.
A Department on Transients will be set up in the
FERA to cooperate with SERA's in establishing permanent policies and standards of service.
7. The following rules and regulations govern grants
to be made "to aid in assisting cooperative and self-help
associations for the barter of goods and services":
It is to be understood definitely that expenditures on
any of these units are to be considered as experimental,
until such units prove either that they have actually
reduced the relief expense and at the same time given
adequate relief or have prevented a rise in the relief
expense.
Funds to establish a barter unit will be forwarded to
the SERA over and above the regular relief grant, upon
approval of the application by the SERA and the FERA.
The SERA is advised to keep in as close touch as possible with any unit that is set up under its recommendation. It should require reports on expenditures of funds
and on progress. These reports should be on file with
both the SERA and the FERA.
li any SERA wishes to make an experiment of its own
without using an already existing barter unit, such application will be given immediate consideration upon the
filing of the plan of organization with the FERA.

A report of the conference of State Emergency Relief
Administrators held in Washington on July 9 and 10 is
given. Discussing cooperation in the financing of
relief, the Federal Administrator stated: "It is not the
intention of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to carry one hundred percent of relief costs where
State and local resources cfl.Il still be tapped." At a
joint session with officials of the United States Employment Service,11 a cooperative arrangement for placement of unemployed persons on jobs was discussed.
The SERA's are advised that no commitments,
involving expenditure of Federal emergency relief funds,
should be made on establishing reemployment bureaus
in local communities without first securing definite
approval of the Federal Administrator.
The Administrator announces that the FERA will
assist the National Reemployment Service "so that
there will be full cooperation with the National Industrial Recovery Act in providing work opportunities for
the unemployed." The FERA will finance the current
expenses of new reemployment offices to be established
in communities where needed and where employment
offices do not now exist. Allotments of funds over and
above regular grants will be made for this purpose, upon
approval of the plans by the FERA.
The State Relief Administrator is directed to aid the
State Reemployment Director in determining the number
and location of offices necessary and the probable monthly
cost of each office. He is also instructed to record the
number of families on the relief lists in the area to be
served by each office. The selection of local reemployment managers must be approved by the State Emergency Relief Administrator. If other employees are
required, they must be selected from persons eligible for
work relief.
The SERA's are authorized to expend funds received
under the Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933 for
Indians-ward as well as nonward. The Office of Indian
Affairs will continue to be responsible for the relief of
ward Indians in concentrated Indian areas but where the
State-wide relief organization covers areas through which
Indians are scattered, it is felt that a more economical
administration can be secured by including Indians in

the general program. The superintendent and other
employees on Indian reservations have been authorized
by the Com.missioner of Indian Affairs to assist in Statewide relief programs.
The Federal Administrator writes to the Governors
and State Relief Administrators concerning relief costs,
stating, in part:
The States and local subdivisions must assume a reasonable
share of the cost. Some have already done so through both
regular and special sessions of legislatures.
Every department of Government that has any taxing power
left has a direct responsibility to help those in distress. The
Federal Government has made provision to carry a substantial
share of unemployment relief needs, but unless many States and
local subdivisions make immediate provision for a larger measure
of support than they are now providing the unemployed and their
dependents will suffer.
I am establishing in the Federal Emergency Relief Administration technical services to assist in determining the extent to which
further resources can be made available in States and local subdivisions, and what may be considered a fair division of responsibility as between the individual States and the Federal Government.

State and local emergency relief administrations are
urged to put forth every effort in two directions:
(1) Full cooperation with each agency In the community that
can put men to work; (2) development of State and local resources
sufficient when added to Federal grants to give reasonably adequate relief to those in need.
July 21, 1933.
FERA Rules and Regulations No. 4, Governing Conditions of Employment on Work-relief Projects, are
issued, effective August 1, 1933.
State and local relief administrations may not employ
any persons under 16 years of age on work-relief projects.
Funds granted under the Federal Emergency Relief
Act of I 933 may be used in paying work-relief wages
only at or above 30 cents an hour. The local prevailing
wage rate for the type of work performed should be paid
if it is in excess of 30 cents per hour.
Hours of work which may be allowed on work-relief
projects a.re limited as follows: (I) if the work is physical labor-not more than 8 hours in any 1 day, 35
hours in any 1 week, or 150 hours in any 1 month;
(2) if the work is in an office and involves the use of
clerical employees, ete.-not more than 8 hours in any
1 day nor more than 40 hours in any 1 week. The
number of hours of work given per week or per month
should be only enough to provide for the budgetary
needs of the family.

Belief to TruState programs for the care of transients and homeless ......... a_..
demand immediate attention. Rules and Regulations
No. 3 of July 11, 1933, are cited and interpreted. Seamen
are to be classed as transients. The statement of plan
to be submitted to the Federal Administrator should
include (1) a general statement as to the proposed State
organization for planning; (2) the size and type of the
problem; (3) the proposed method of dealing with the
problem by localities; (4) the estimated cost of financing
the plan.
It is pointed out that in any local community there will
be three types of homeless persons or families: (1) local
homeless residents; (2) State homeless, more than 12
months in State; (3) transient homeless, less than 12
months in State. The third group is provided for by
additional grants to the States, but it is desirable that
the three types of homeless persons or families should be
cared for through a centralized local program.
Plans should be made either on a municipal, county,
district, or State basis, the smaller units being closely
linked with the SERA.
Plans should provide for utilization of existing personnel and agencies whenever possible and for: (1) a
central State bureau, to render advisory and supervisory

service, as pa.rt of the SERA; (2) local or district administrative units, the numbers to depend upon the need
e.s shown.
Needs are listed e.s follows: (I) central registration
e.nd case-work facilities; (2) shelter, food, and clothing,
adapted to individual needs; (3) medical and health
service; (4) transportation either to place of legal residence or other destination when found desirable and necessary on a case-work be.sis, for families e.nd unattached
persons; (5) work, adapted to the physical handicaps of
the clients, if any; the possibility of work opportunity
should be sought through local work projects, public
works, and employment bureaus; (6) preventive programs.
Shelter may be congregate or in boarding homes,
camps and other suitable agencies which may be willing
to pool their resources under the State or local program.
Shelter care of good quality for unattached males implies
that case-work service shall be available to all clients;
that beds, bedding, balanced diet, medical service, work,
recreation, laundry, bathing, barbering, and clothing
shall be included in the program and that there shall be
proper segregation of the men according to age, etc.
Shelter for families, unattached women and girls and boys
should be individualized according to need.
A program to be considered adequate should make
provision for meeting in a suitable way the needs of transient men and boys, women and girls, and families. In
any consideration of the transient family a very careful
case-work evaluation of their situation and future plan
should be made.
The allocation of funds by the Federal Administrator
will be to the States; the States will compensate the local
unit on the be.sis of reimbursement for moneys spent in
accordance with the agreed-upon plan. All accounts
are subject to audit by Federal authority.
If the time element makes impossible the immediate
development of a State-wide plan, the Federal Administrator will take under advisement the question of approval of local projects approved by the SERA to meet
emergent situations, with the understanding that ultimately the local project is to be integrated with the State
program.
If any State law or the rule of any emergency relief
administration holds that an individual who is receiving
relief may not acquire legal residence while such relief is
being received at public expense, it is assumed that the

emergency relief of transient and homeless will in no way

Federal relief funds may not be used to help support
county health units, per se. Units or personnel of the
units that are used in the administration of unemployment
relief may be paid from Federal relief funds for the part
of the time spent in this work.
Governors and SERA's are informed that work-relief
projects on Federal property or under Federal Departments probably can be arranged, under the same limitations as other work-relief projects. Methods of putting
the projects into operation are described. It is noted that
workers on such Federal projects will be protected under
the provisions of the Federal Employees' Compensation
Act of 1916. A Federal official must be in charge of such
projects.
At the request of the SERA's, standard forms of a case
record card and a financial data sheet are sent for guidance
in preparing forms.
The Trend of Urban Relief from June to July 1933, the
first in .a series of monthly reports on urban trends, is
issued by the FERA. (See Series RS, Appendix A for
list of reports issued subsequently.)
FERA Rules and Regulations No. 6 are sent, requiring
that purchases of supplies with Federal funds, and all
orders given to relief cases be made only from stores
which have complied with the applicable approved code
or the provisions of the President's Reemployment
Agreement.
The SERA's are reminded that it is essential that all
local relief administrations be kept informed of FERA
rulings and policies.
The first communication in regard to the emergency
education program is issued. Authorization is given to
pay work-relief wages to needy unemployed teachers or
other persons competent to teach who are assigned to
elementary schools in rural counties, provided (1) assignment is to appropriate educational authorities who will
have entire supervision of their activities; (2) assignment
is only to schools previously ordered closed or partially
closed for the coming school year because of lack of funds.
Authorization also is given to pay work-relief wages in
cities as well as rural counties to needy unemployed persons competent to teach adults unable to read and write
English. Relief funds should not be used to relieve
counties of their proper responsibility for education, nor
should relief teachers be substituted for regularly employed teachers.

Revised rules on self-help and cooperative grants, with
amplified instructions in regard to application for and
reporting of funds, are issued. Among the rulings concerning the operation of the program are the following:
Any grant made to a cooperative should be for those
of its activities that are supplemental to the other means
of support of its members. It is expected that a substantial proportion of the members will be persons eligible for relief or who would be eligible, if it were not for
their membership in the cooperative.
In general, funds granted from the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration for cooperatives should be used
for working capital for the purchase of mobile or shortlived equipment, for tools, for gasoline, canning equipment, cans, and any other of the items commonly included
in the working capital of such an enterprise. No Federal funds should be invested in permanent plant or land,
although Federal funds may be used for advantageous
leaseholds for temporary use. Thus, if the property of
a cooperative is classified as (1) consumable goods,
(2) working or circulating capital, and (3) long-term investment, Federal funds should be used only for working
capital.
The cooperative must undertake to exercise extreme
care that its operation shall not in any way reduce the
wage of labor in the community. It must agree to
pay its members at least 30 cents per hour in scrip,
book-credit or kind, while the beneficiary of Federal
funds. Unless it is sufficiently productive to make such
return to its members, the cooperative shall not be
considered eligible to further grant of Federal funds.
It is the general intention that no goods produced
by the cooperative under Federal grant shall find their
way into the open market.
It is announced that 200,000,000 to 300,000,000
pounds of processed meat, obtained through the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, will be put in the
hands of the SERA's for distribution by local agencies
in areas where relief standards are low.
Authorization is given to the SERA's to cooperate
with the Bureau of Immigration of the United States
Department of Labor by financing the transportation of
needy dependents desiring to accompany aliens who
are being deported.
It is suggested to State Administrators that a general
survey of food orders and food prices would be timely, in
view of the advance in retail food prices. It is essential

that revisions be ma.de in the amount of money allowed
for food requirements in all forms of relief to make
adequate provisions under increased prices.
FERA Rules and Regulations No. 7, Governing Medical Care Provided in the Home to Recipients of Unemployment Relief, are issued. Extracts from Rules and
Regulations Nos. 1 and 3 are given and the scope of
medical care as previously defined is construed to include bedside-nursing care as an adjunct to medical care,
and emergency dental service.
The following are among the regulations established:
1. A uniform policy shall be determined on the basis of
an agreement between the relief administration and the
State and/or local organized medical, nursing, and dental
professions.
In such agreements, the relief administration should
recognize within legal and economic limitations the
traditional relationships as between family and physician,
dentist and patient, and physician and nurse. The
physician, dentist, and nurse must agree to furnish the
same type of service to an indigent person as would be
given to a private patient; but such service shall be a
minimum consistent with good professional judgment
and charged for at the agreed rate.
The policy adopted shall be to augment and render
more adequate facilities already existing in the community. It shall imply continua.nee of the use of hospitals, clinics, and medical, dental, and nursing services
already established in the community. Federal emergency relief funds shall not be used in lieu of local and/or
State funds to pay for these established services.
The phrase "in their homes" shall be interpreted to
include office service for ambulatory patients, with the
understanding that such office service shall not supplant
the services of clinics already provided.
2. A uniform procedure for authorization of medical,
dental, and nursing care in the home shall be established.
All authorizations shall be issued in writing on the
regular relief order blank by a local relief official prior to
giving the care; except that authorization may be given
by telephone if immediately followed by a written order.
Authorization for bedside-nursing care shall be based
upon the recommendation of the attending physician
in cases where there is a physician in attendance.
Authorizations for medicine and medical supplies shall
be issued only upon the written request of the attending
physician.

Chronology of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration
Authorization for medical care for acute illness shall
be limited to a definite period and a maximum expenditure or number of visits (not more than 2 weeks or 10
visits), according to the general agreement made between
relief officials and physicians. Medical care in excess
of this amount may be authorized only after reinvestigation of the case in the home by the relief administration.
Medical care for chronic illness shall be authorized
on an individual basis. Visits shall be limited in frequency by agreement (not more than one visit per week
for a period not exceeding 2 or 3 months).
Authorization for obstetrical care in the home shall
include an agreed minimum number of prenatal visits
(where possible), delivery in the home unless such
would involve undue risk to the patient, and necessary
postnatal care.
Medical and nursing services not covered above and
dental service shall be authorized on an individual basis.
Dental care shall, in general, be restricted to emergency
extractions and repairs.
A fee schedule for medical dental, and nursing services shall be agreed upon. It is suggested that a flat
rate be established for the usual services and that there
be an agreed reduction from the usual fee for special
services, with an agreed maximum fee. All fees shall be
determined at an appreciable reduction from the prevailing minimum charges for such services. The rate for
bedside-nursing care shall not exceed the cost per visit
established for accredited visiting nursing organizations.
This schedule shall apply only where the expenditure of
Federal relief funds is involved and shall not preclude the
payment of additional amounts from local funds.
Itemized bills for each patient shall be submitted to the
relief administration monthly. Retroactive authorizations shall not be issued or honored for payment.
3. It shall be the responsibility of the SERA to formulate a program in this field and to make sure that programs formulated by local administrations are in accord.
The SERA shall file with the FERA a copy of its program for medical, nursing, and dental care, including the
statement of policy, fee schedules, and detailed procedures.
All persons licensed or registered to practice medicine,
nursing, dentistry or as pharmacists shall be eligible to
participate in the program, subject to local statutory
limitations and the general policy.

The Federal Administrator submits a report on
drought relief at a meeting of the Executive Council.7
The President orders that the Federal Emergency Relief Administrator and the Governor of the Farm Credit
Administration, with the Secretary of the Interior and
the Chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads,
formulate plans and procedure for the immediate construction of feeder roads in drought areas. Funds will
be provided from the public works funds and the Federal emergency relief appropriation.
The Federal Administrator is authorized by the
President to allot funds for work as well as for unemployment relief in drought areas. Under this authorization special emergency relief funds will be provided
for food and clothing for needy families and feed for
livestock. Forage will be shipped as required and provision will be made for purchase of seed for spring
crops by fanners unable to furnish security for crop
loans.
The Administrator announces that Federal relief funds
may be used to provide food and work relief for victims
of recent hurricanes. Relief work will be carried on in
cooperation with the American Red Cross.
Substitute post office employees who apply for relief
should be given full consideration and aid should not be
refused on the theory that they hold regular jobs.
Reference is made to the previous ruling that relief shall
be given "those whose employment or available resources are inadequate to provide the necessities of life
for themselves and/or their dependents."
Federal funds for the care of transients in the States
should be used for "bona fide transients." Funds for
transient care are not intended for seasonal migratory
workers in industralized types of agriculture. The
Federal Administrator is opposed to subsidizing this
type of industry by supplying workers' transportation
to their legal residences out of relief funds. State Administrators are advised to cooperate with labor and
employment exchanges on this problem.
A memorandum regarding the emergency education
program is issued, containing rules to be observed by
the State Department of Education and by relief authorities with respect to work relief for rural teachers and for

write English. Only persons certified as in need of
relief by the SERA or its authorized agents may be
employed as teachers. The SERA shall determine the
amount to be paid each teacher according to FERA
Rules and Regulations Nos. 3 and 4. The FERA has
requested the United States Office of Education and
the Federal Boa.rd for Vocational Education to assist in
the educational aspects of the relief program.
The FERA is interested in furthering good work-relief
projects in cooperation with other governmental departments-Federal, State, and local. It is suggested that
States stimulate work of this kind.
The instructions of August 1 regarding Federal workrelief projects are modified in certain respects. Details
are given concerning the initiation, approval, conduct,
and financing of such projects.
The President announces the availability of surplus
commodities, which the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will purchase and the FERA will distribute to
the unemployed in the various States. The allocation
of 100,000,000 pounds of cured pork is announced.
Other products such as beef, dairy and poultry products,
and cotton probably will be available soon. Emphasis
is placed on the fact that the commodities will be given
in addition to the amounts now received by the unemployed, wherever inadequate, for the purpose of providing reasonable standards of sustenance.
The SERA's are instructed to appoint persons to have
charge of the surplus commodity program, to survey
the needs immediately, and to establish machinery for
distribution.
Additional information in regard to relief practices is
requested for use in interpreting monthly reports of the
SERA's.
Authority is given for the extension of the emergency
education program. Relief funds may be used for the
employment of unemployed persons on relief who are
qualified to teach or render other types of necessary
service for approved projects which include the education and training of (1) unemployed adults who are in
need of vocational training or adjustment to make them
employable; (2) unemployed adults who are physically
handicapped and need additional training m work
opportunities; (3) unemployed and other adults who are
in need of further general educational opportunities.

general adult education. Teachers must be certified as
in need of relief by the SERA or its authorized agents,
and wages shall be determined according to FERA
Rules and Regulations Nos. 3 and 4.
Federal funds for educational work relief may be
expended by the States only on the basis of plans prepared by the State Departments of Education and
approved by the SERA's and the FERA.
The SERA's are reminded of the orders issued at the
meeting on June 14, 1933: (1) that the qualifications
and salary of all personnel of the SERA paid from
Federa.l funds must be approved by the Field Representative of the FERA; and (2) that the research, statistical,
and accounting organization in each State must be
approved by the FERA.
Relief offices are told that the FERA probably will
take a census of all persons receiving public unemployment relief 88 of October 31, 1933. Additional clerical
help may be needed, and an increase in office personnel
from the relief rolls will be approved on a work-relief
basis.
A communication is sent concerning children under
16 years of age thrown out of work 88 a result of minimum
age provisions in the President's Reemployment .Agreement and in NRA codes. Cooperative arrangements
with the schools are urged in order to bring needy
families of such children to the attention of State and
local relief administrations. Relief should be granted to
the family wherever necessary.
No attachments may be made to the wages of any
persons on work relief financed from Federal funds.
A program of child-feeding in the schools is authorized,
to provide one meal a day for children of relief families,
found after examination to be suffering from underfeeding and malnutrition.
The Federal Surplus Relief Corporation is incorporated
under the laws of Delaware. The primary purposes of
the Corporation are:
(1) To asaist In relieving the ez:lstfng national emergency by
the purchaae, processing, and distribution for consumption d.
agricultural and other products as a means to remove surpluses
and improve prices; (2) to apply these surplU8 agricultural and
other products In the form of foodstuffs, clothing, fuel, and
otherwise to the relief of hardship and suffering call8ed by unemployment.

Chronology of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration
Oct. 6, 1933.
Statement is made of policy regarding relief to strikers. 8
The FERA v..-ill not attempt to judge the merits of a
labor dispute. Each case applying for relief will be
considered on its merits as a relief case, wholly apart
from any controversy in which the wage earner may be
involved. Unless the National Labor Board of the
NRA decides that the basis for a strike is unreasonable
and unjustified, the FERA authorizes local relief agencies
to furnish relief to the families of striking wage earners
who are found to be in need.
Instructions are given for action to be taken in connection with health and sanitation in transient shelters,
camps, and other facilities.
The FERA forwards standard reporting and recording
forms for the transient program.
The FSRC is considering plans for the purchase of
certain foodstuffs through the cooperation of the AAA
and also by arrangements with industries for price concessions on other commodities to be purchased by the
SERA's. The SERA's are requested to submit estimates
of commodity needs and suggestions in regard to commodities which could be purchased at a saving through
price arrangements.
Announcement is made of the appointment of a
Director of Women's Work for the FERA. Each SERA
should appoint a person to direct women's work relief.
The appointment must be approved by the FERA.
Plans for increasing purchases of coal for relief consumption are being considered and SERA's are requested
to submit estimates of amounts needed during the
coming winter.
Samples of a schedule to be used in a census of persons
receiving unemployment relief in the United States are
sent to the SERA's, together with a description of the
project. It is announced that a series of regional conferences will be held with the SERA staff members who
will be in charge of the census. Methods to be used in
conducting the census must be worked out by the SERA
staff and plans should be submitted for discussion at
the regional conferences. In many instances workrelief persons can be utilized; in other localities it may
be necessary for the case workers to fill out the schedules. (The first regional conference was held on October 18; enumeration was begun October 25, 1933.)

It is announced that workers' education classes may be E-1.
orga.nized under the authorization of September 26 to
use Federal emergency relief funds for approved projects
for the education and training of "unemployed and other
adults who are in need of further general educational
opportunities." The appointment of a member of the
FERA staff to help develop the program is reported.
The agreement of the national wholesale and retail c-1.
grocery organizations to cooperate with the FSRC to
handle surplus commodities through local stores is
reported, and instructions are given for the selection
of State and county distributors. It is pointed out that
where successful commissaries are now in operation,
they will distribute the surplus foodstuffs, but that it
will not be necessary to set up new commissaries with
work-relief labor to fill this function. The SERA staff
should include a man experienced in distribution of
foodstuffs.
Instructions are given to review all relief cases in order Ao-1.
that any family or person not entitled to unemployment
relief may be dropped. To check relief rolls, agreements
should be reached with employers to report the names
of persons added to their pay rolls.
A study of relief allowances should be made to determine whether they are adequate for winter needs. Such
a study will enable the SERA's to determine the areas
in which surplus commodities are most needed to augment
relief.
State, municipal, or prin.te funds must bear the cost
of materials and accessory services required for Federal
work-relief projects. Arrangements have been made
for the following projects in connection with Federal
departments: (1) Treasury Department, Bureau of Public Health Service-malaria control, rural sanitation, and
the control of rats as carriers of disease; (2) Department
of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology-mosquito control; (3) Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Biological
Survey-control of rats as predatory animals; (4) Department of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Surveytying in control surveys; (5) Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce-building
census.
Federal funds may be used for the assignment of quali- A-311
fied workers on a work-relief basis to the local NRA
Compliance Board offices.

Oct. 23, 1933.
Authorization is given to provide work-relief wages
for qualified and unemployed teachers and other workers
on relief who are needed to organize and conduct nursery
schools under the control of the public school systems.
Plans must be approved by local relief and school authorities and submitted to State Superintendents of Public
Instruction and State Emergency Relief Administrators.
Funds granted for general relief or those granted for work
relief in education may be used. Food supplies may be
provided under the authorization of October 4 relating
to child-feeding programs. It is noted that the nursery
school program includes participation of parents.
The collection and distribution of surplus agricultural
products available locally for the gathering is suggested
as a work-relief project. Distribution should be only to
families eligible for relief and should be in addition to
regular relief allowances.
Detailed instructions are given for the selection of distributors of surplus commodities, methods of issue, and
ordering and stock control.
Work-relief regulations are relaxed in order to provide
for continuous supervision on clerical and professional
projects. Forty hours a week may be allowed. In determining budgetary needs, the previous standard of living
may be taken into account, making it possible to pay
$10 to $15 per week and thus retain persons full time.
Neither the FERA nor the PWA can approve projects
on which it is planned to use the 30 percent cash grant
from the PWA to cover the cost of materials and accessory services and to make up the remaining 70 percent
by using work-relief labor to do the work. The communication states:

The line is clearly drawn between Public Works, which are
intended to revive the country by paying wages for work done on
desirable projects, and the Relief Administration, which provides
those already destitute with an opportunity to earn their minimum
subsistence requirements.

Half-rate transportation for transients will be granted
on a Nation-wide basis, according to an agreement of the
FERA and the Association of Railway Executives. It
is urged that the State Transient Director be the sole
officer to issue requests upon which half-rate tickets may
be procured.
Selection of the method of distribution of surplus
commodities in the State is the responsibility of the
SERA. The advantages of using regular wholesale,

retail, and cha.in distribution channels are cited. Any
other method, except the use of previously established
oommiBAAries, should be reported, together with its
estimated cost.
Eligibility for surplus commodities is extended to include "persons not on public relief rolls, but in need of
relief"-including families receiving mothers' aid, old
age assistance cases, clients of private family welfare
societies, etc. Selection of eligibles may be made on the
basis of an investigation by "agencies of proper standards
designated by the local relief administration and approved by the State Relief Administrator." Commodities
distributed must be over and above prior conswnption.
They will be distributed by the public relief administration through the regular distribution channels for
surplus commodities.
FERA Rules and Regulations No. 8, Governing Organization and Operation of Transient Service Bureaus, are
issued. This bulletin summarizes previous rulings and
communications on relief to transients. Information on
methods of organizing State transient bureaus and
regional service centers is amplified. No regional center
may be established without the approval of the Field
Representative of the FERA. Consideration must first
be given to availability of proper housing. Health
authorities must be consulted regarding sanitary requirements, whether shelter is provided on a congregate
basis, in lodgings, or in camps. Where congregate
feeding is undertaken, meals should be provided on the
basis of schedules prepared by qualified dietitians.
Breadlines, soup kitchens, and kindred projects should
be discouraged.
Adequate care should be given to transients without
any time limitation and no "passing on" will be tolerated
except by a reference center to a treatment center within
the State. It is suggested that return to legal or other
residence be arranged by interstate agreements.
In relation to migratory workers, it is ruled that the
interpretation of the term "transient" will not apply to
people who do not secure sufficient wages from their
labor to meet living requirements. Responsibility for
their ca.re rests upon the States in which, and employers
for whom, they work.

It iq expected that every transient registered will be
given a complete physical examination and that necessary medical care will be provided.
It is expected that each center will promote the
development of a variety of work projects for the purpose
of utilizing various skills; develop educational and vocational activities, using personnel resources available on
a work-relief basis; provide for recreation and leisuretime activities for individuals and groups. In addition,
the development of rehabilitation projects in certain
areas in camps, colonies, subsistence farms, etc., should
constitute a very important part of program making.

TRANSFER OF WORK RELIEF TO CIVIL WORKS
NOT. 8,
19111.
Nov. II, 1911.
A communication to State Administrators announces
that the President is creating the Civil Works Administration and appointing as its Administrator the Federal
Emergency Relief Administrator. "The purpose of this
agency is to provide employment to 4 million persone
able and willing to work, now unemployed. The first
task of this agency will be to provide regular work at
regular wages for the 2 million now on so-called work
relief. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration
will name its State and local emergency relief administrations as State and local Civil Works Administrations."
The presence of State Administrators at a meeting in
Washington on November 15 is requested.
The Federal Civil Works Administration is established
by the President under the authority of title II of the
National Industrial Recovery Act; and for the purpose
of increasing employment quickly: "to administer a
program of public works as a part of, and to be included
in, the comprehensive program under preparation by
the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works,
which program shall be approved by the Federal Emergency Administrator of Public Works and shall be known
as the 'Civil Works Program.'" The Federal Emergency Relief Administrator is appointed as Federal
Civil Works Administrator. An allocation of $400,000,000 is made to the Federal Civil Works Administration
from the appropriation of $3,300,000,000 authorized by
section 220 of the National Industrial Recovery Act.
The State Emergency Relief Administrators are advised of their appointment as State Civil Works Administrators.
Procedure to be used by the States in ordering surplus
commodities is explained.
The Women's Division issues its first bulletin. The
development of the program for providing destitute
women and girls with work-relief opportunities is described. Among the types of projects in operation are
sewing, gardening, canning, teaching, and other work in
connection with the emergency education program, and

personnel service. Other projects are under preparation. Directors of women's work activities are being
appointed in the SERA's. The use of volunteer service
from women's organizations in carrying out the program
is urged.
Governors, Mayors, State and local Civil Works Administrators, and other interested persons meet with the
Federal Civil Works Administrator to hear about and
discuss plans for the Civil Works Program. State quotas
of persons to be put to work on Civil Works projects,
which were determined by taking into consideration population and relief load, are announced.
FCWA Rules and Regulations No. 1 are issued. 1 The
following are among the rules established:
1. It is the intention of the Federal Civil Works
Administrator to use, insofar as is practicable, existing
work divisions of the Federal, State, and local emergency
relief administrations. Additional technical personnel,
if found necessary, will be appointed by the Federal
Civil Works Administrator.
2. It is contemplated that all persons on work relief
and all work-relief projects under way as of November 16,
1933, in order to share in the funds available for Civil
Works projects, are to be transferred between November
16 and 19, 1933, to the CWA.
The objective of the CWA is the employment of
4,000,000 persons by December 15, 1933. Two million
of these persons receiving relief on November 16, 1933,
either as work relief or direct relief, are to be employed
on Civil Works projects by direct transference from the
relief office to Civil Works projects on or before December
1, 1933.
On or after December 1, or prior to this date, if the
relief quota has been transferred and employed by the
CWA, all applications for employment will be made
through the local employment agencies designated by the
United States Employment Service and placements will
be made in accordance with preferences as set forth in
title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act.
3. All public works projects of the character heretofore constructed or carried on either by the public
· authority or with public aid to serve the interest of
the general public are eligible, provided that: (1) They
are socially and economically desirable, and (2) they
may be undertaken quickly. All Civil Works projects

Civil Works employees taken from relief rolls or who
are from case-investigated families not on relief may
receive surplus commodities. Commodity tickets may
be distributed through the CWA.
The National Emergency Council is created for the
purpose of coordinating and making more efficient and
productive the work of the numerous field agencies of
the Federal Government established under and for the
purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of the
National Industrial Recovery Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, and the Federal Emergency Relief Act.
The Federal Emergency Relief Administrator is designated as a member of the Council.2
The Federal Surplus Relief Corporation will deal with
only a few basic commodities secured chiefly out of
processing taxes levied by the AAA or by donation from
the producers. Other surplus commodities, if used for
relief purposes, will have to be purchased by the SERA's
out of current funds.
The Federal Civil Works Administrator instructs the
States on methods to be observed in making allotments
to political subdivisions and in giving employment
according to preference. Three-fourths of the employees
and of dollar allotments shall be distributed among the
cities and counties in accordance with their population
and one-fourth in accordance with their respective
proportion of the total relief case load for the State.
Preference in employment should be given, first, to those
now engaged on work relief regardless of the percentage
of the total; second, to additional direct relief cases up
to 50 percent of the total, if the number of work-relief
cases is less than 50 percent of the allotment; third,
all additional employees must be chosen through the
Reemployment Service.
Representatives of national women's organizations
throughout the country attend a conference at the
White House to discuss the emergency needs for unemployed and destitute women. An address on the Civil
Works Program is given by the Federal Administrator.
State Civil Works Administrations in no case should
exceed the quota of persons allocated to the State.

of fuel and to assist the SERA's. Instructions are given
regarding distributing and ordering procedure. Local
dealers will supply the coal and it will be replaced by
coal purchased through the FSRC.
The distinction between Civil Works and Civil Works
Service projects is explained. Civil Works projects are
those directly connected with construction work or
leading directly or indirectly to construction work in the
future. Civil Works Service projects are sen;ce projects relating to relief offices and educational projects
listed in the telegram of November 23 nnd other similar
projects. Quotas already assigned must include CWS
projects. Wages on CWS projects are to be paid from
available local, State, and Federal relief funds. All employees on CWS projects must be "persons eligible for
relief." In order to reduce case investigations, committees from professional organizations may be used to
determine need.
In furnishing personnel for Federal CWA projects,
wherever possible particular attention should be given to
the employment of women. Their names may be drawn
from the lists of the National Reemployment Service
without regard to the ratio of persons already placed
from relief and NRS lists, respectively.
The Director of Transient Activities points out that
nonresidents are ineligible for employment on projects
financed by the PWA or the CWA. Nonresident veterans
are in the same category as other transients. Attention
is called to possible sources of aid for transient veterans
through the Veterans' Administration, and special services of the American Red Cross.
To fulfill its obligation to provide adequate and immediate care to transients, the FERA requires the utmost
cooperation of the SERA's. Although not expected, to
share in the financial responsibility for transient care,
the SERA's are given the responsibility for the administration of Federal funds for this purpose with the expectation that they will direct the immediate establishment of
adequate services.
Stringent restriction on the use of railways as a means
of free transportation will be enforced by the railroads

Civil Works Service projects will be administered by
the State Emergency Relief Administrations and not by
the State Civil Works Administrations.
Reimbursement to the SERA's for expenditures for
local reemployment offices for the period August 1 to
November 18, 1933, will be made upon receipt of required
reports and application for reimbursement. On November 18, support of the reemployment service was terminated by the FERA and assumed by the FCWA.
Rulings affecting women's work are issued. Civil
Works and Civil Works Service projects upon which
women may be employed are listed. Distinctions
between Civil Works and Civil Works Service projects
are discussed. Women placed on Civil Works Service
projects must be drawn from persons on relief or eligible
for relief; those placed on Civil Works projects are to be
certified by reemployment offices. Women employed on
Civil Works Service projects are to be paid from local,
State, or Federal relief funds through their regular disbursing offices; those employed on Civil Works projects
are to be paid from CWA funds through the disbursing
offices established by the Veterans' Administration.
The hourly rate of pay is to be a minimum of 30 cents or
the prevailing rate. The 30-hour maximum per week
applicable for Civil Works projects applies in all women's
work projects. Quotas already assigned to the States
include both men and women. The State Director of
Women's Work is responsible to the State Civil Works
Administrator and is a member of the State CWA staff.
Instructions are given on the organization and conduct of nursery schools and the employment of needy
teachers and other workers as authorized on October
23, 1933. It is expected that emergency nursery schools
will serve children of needy unemployed families.
General policies with respect to the organization and
administration of other divisions of the emergency
education program will apply to nursery schools. It
is provided that partially qualified professional workers
may be given training before the nursery schools are
opened.
All work-relief projects of a desirable character in
designated drought areas shall be taken over and made
CWA projects. Farmers may apply for employment on
Civil Works projects on the same basis as all other
persons. Funds appropriated by the PWA to the
Bureau of Public Roads for materials in drought areas

Chronology of the Federal, Emergency Relief Administration
may be used in Civil Works projects. Persons not
covered by the Civil Works quota who are in need of
drought relief (livestock feed and seed needs are interpreted as relief needs) must be handled as regular
relief cases with FERA funds. Farmers employed on
Civil Works projects are not entitled to feed andseed
allowances unless they make specific requests that are
approved by the SERA.
Indians on relief, ward or nonward, are eligible for
surplus commodities.
An additional country-wide quota of 40,000 teachers
is announced, to be allotted to the States in the same
proportion as Civil Works quotas. This quota for
teachers is separate from and in addition to the quota
previously allotted to the States for Civil Works and is
a part of that reserved for Federal projects. Teachers
so employed must be in need of relief and will be paid
from relief funds. They should be assigned to teaching
positions on the six authorized emergency education
projects.
The FERA has decided to decentralize the purchase
and processing of beef for relief consumption wherever
the States prefer to make their own arrangements. The
SERA's are requested to advise the FERA whether they
wish cash grants for this purpose or prefer to receive
canned beef. (Decentralization in the purchase of other
commodities was provided for through later orders.)
Self-help cooperatives may be included with other
agencies designated to investigate and select eligibles
for surplus commodities from needy persons not on relief.
FCWA Rules and Regulations No. 10, Hours, Wage
Rates, and Conditions of Employment, are issued. Previous rules are amended and amplified.
Rulings in regard to Civil Works specify:
I. Except in executive, administrative, supervisory, or
clerical positions, hours of labor of workers on Civil Works
projects shall be limited to 8 hours in any 1 day. Clerical
workers may be employed 39 hours per week.
2. The rates for semiskilled labor should be set between the wage rate for skilled and unskilled labor in
accordance with local prevailing rates, unless ot,herwise
provided for by agreements approved by PWA's within or
through the State. The minimum wage rates designated
are not to be used in discriminating against assistants,
helpers, apprentices, and serving laborers who work with
and serve skilled journeymen mechanics and who are not
to be termed "unskilled la.borers."

On clerical, office, statistical, survey, and general whitecollar jobs the prevailing rate in the community shall be
paid, but not less than specified minimums.
3. In the event that any question shall be raised as to
what wage rates prevail in any district under agreements
and understandings between organized labor and Civil
Works Administrators, the United States Department of
Labor shall determine such rates if and when requested
by State Civil Works Administrators, before starting opei:ations on a project. A Board of Labor Review has
been created by the Public Works Administration. This
board shall hear all issues arising under the operation of
all work financed from funds allocated by the Administrator of Civil Works and from such problems as may
result from fundamental changes in economic conditions.
The decision of the Board of Labor Review shall be binding upon all parties.
In the employment of labor on Civil Works projects,
first preference shall be given to employees on projects
previously started or completed. The intention is to
provide continuous work after initial employment.
In the employment of labor on any Civil Works
project, preference shall be given as set forth in Bulletin
No. 2 of the Public Works Administration.
4. On all Civil Works projects reasonable precautlions
shall be taken for the safety of employees, and all
applicable provisions of the Federal, State, and municipal safety laws shall be observed. All machinery and
equipment and other physical hazards shall be guarded
in accordance with recognized safety codes. Attention
is directed to the recommendation of the National Safety
Council that wherever large numbers of employees are
concentrated or where an unusually large number of
accidents occur, , safety director shall be appointed to
supervise proper safeguards and to train employees to
avoid accident hazards.
Rulings in regard to Civil Works Service specify:
1. The maintenance of ma.xi.mum identity of Civil
Works and Civil Works Service employees is essential,
while maintaining at the same time the necessary distinction as to source of funds.
2. The rules governing hours of labor on Civil Works
Service projects shall be the same as those set by the
Civil Works Administration for Civil Works projects.
Wages for Civil Works Service workers shall be the prevailing wage rate in the particular community for the
type of work done, but not less than 30 cents per hour.

Minimum wages for clerical and professional workers in
Civil Works Service positions shall be the rates specified
for Civil Works employees in similar positions.
3. Civil Works Service employees are not covered by
Federal compensation insurance. The local CW A in
charge of Civil Works Service projects shall be responsible for seeing, wherever possible, that all employees on
such projects are covered by accident or employees'
compensation insurance, to be paid from State or local
funds.
Use of Civil Works Service projects for clerical and
other assistance in offices of county agents and home
demonstration agents is suggested.
Instructions are given on the organization of workers'
education classes in the general adult education program,
authorized on September 26, 1933. Teachers' training
should be included in the program.
A safety program is launched by the Federal Civil
Works Administration. Cooperation of all State and
local Administrators with safety officials is requested.
The appointment of a safety director or inspector in each
unit, State, city, and job is recommended. The appointment of a Director of Safety for the Federal Civil Works
Administration is announced. An outline of the program
and organization plan is forwarded and reports on safety
measures already adopted are requested.
Distribution of surplus commodities to Civil Works
employees may be discontinued "if, in your State or any
localities in it, there is objection to the continued distribution of the surplus commodities to Civil Works
employees." If distribution is discontinued, the commodities may be supplied to public institutions-"over
and above their present purchases." The choice between
Civil Works employees and such institutions as recipients
is given to the SERA's.
The SERA 's are requested to secure the loan of a person
to act as a nutrition advisor, if they have no one on the
staff acting in that capacity. The name and qualifications of tbis official are to be reported to the FERA.
Specific Civil Works projects should be used for the
employment of members of cooperative or self-help
groups, if possible; work-shifts may then be arranged in
such a way as to take due account of the requirements of
cooperative activities.

The Manual of Financial Procedure, Accounting, and
Reporting for State and Local Civil Works Administrations' is issued by the FCWA. Instructions are given
concerning forms to be used, application for and approval
of CWA projects, employee records, pay rolls, time recording, purchasing and voucher procedure, fund-control
and project registers to be kept by local administrations,
reports from local to State CWA's, State administration
accounting and reporting, and Civil Works Service
projects.
Word has come to the office of FCWA that workers are
still being taken from relief rolls for Civil Works jobs.
This is positively prohibited. Henceforth all persons
must be placed through the NRS from the self-sustaining
unemployed.
A questionnaire on the method of handling CWA
labor disputes is sent to State Administrators. The
replies will be used in the formulation of labor policy
and procedure. The names and experience of staff
representatives in charge of labor relations are requested.
The importance of making careful and adequate
investigations of new applications for relief is stressed.
The SERA's are warned against the tendency to make
superficial examinations, which has developed in some
sections of the country since the launching of the Civil
Works Program, because of the general impression that
a person must be on relief in order to get a job.
State Departments of Education may use emergency
funds to employ teachers for adult education in prisons.
No work should be done on a project for which
application has been made to the PWA unless the
application has been rejected by the PW A and reconsidered favorably by local and State CWA's. PW A
and CWA workers should not be employed on the same
project.
Signs identifying all CWA and CWS projects must
be posted in order that the public may know what is
being done under Civil Works.
The pay of CWA workers is not subject to attachment
while in the hands of a disbursing officer.

All relief organizations should be informed that the
United States Government is willing to pay the return
transportation to country of birth of any alien "who has
fallen into distress or has become a public charge."
Applications for transportation are to be made to the
Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization.
As announced on December 18, 1933, distribution of
surplus commodities to Civil Works employees may be
discontinued, if there is objection. The FERA, however, does not desire any State to cut off distribution from
all Civil Works employees.
Surplus commodities shall be distributed to nursery
schools, transient centers, self-help cooperatives, and institutions participating in the public relief program or
receiving public aid, on affidavit that such commodities
are over and above present consumption.
Persons now employed on CWA and CWS projects in
rural areas (communities having less than 2,500 population and open country) may be.placed on a basis providing an average of 15 hours' employment per week for
each worker. This does not apply to existing work in
camps or to supervisory, administrative, and technical
and professional personnel. Additional persons may be
employed providing that the total number of man-hours
per week and the total expenditures for labor and materials are not increased. The hours worked per week must
be the same on all projects in any given community. Employment of additional workers shall be in accordance
with FCWA Rules and Regulations No. 10 and shall be
from union locals or through NRS offices.
Appointment of a person on the SERA staff to direct
local projects in workers' education is authorized. Qualifications for the position are prescribed; the appoiJ;i.tment
is to be made subject to the approval of the FERA.
Instructions of January 15 on CWA and CWS projects
in rural areas apply to Federal as well as to State and
local projects.
State Civil Works Administrations are given preliminary instructions on labor relationships. It is to be
made clear that every dismissed worker has the right of
appeal to the local CWA and to be represented at a hearing by a person of his own choosing. The State and
Federal CWA's should be kept informed of appeals and
decisions.
It is ruled that Civil Works employment shall be open
on the usual basis to farmers who have cooperated in the
programs of the AAA.

of production of items necessary for transient shelters and
camps, such as mattresses, sheets, pillowcases, bed.sacks,
and clothing. A cooperative arrangement regarding

It is suggested that a. cooperative arrangement be
effected immediately between transient bureaus and
the regularly constituted boards of public welfare or
other authorized agencies to handle requests for verification of residence and arrangements for return of
residents to their communities.
Because of the complaint that the emergency education program classes in commercial subjects a.re open
to all comers, attention is again called to the regulation
of September 26, 1933 (A-3L), that attendance in
vocational classes is limited to "unemployed adults who
are in need of vocatione.l training or adjustment to
make them employable."
Additional funds are made available to provide relief
for more unemployed teachers during the remainder of
the school year. The funds are available until June 30,
1934, and are over and above the present emergency
education allotments. Teachers may be employed in
elementary and secondary schools in communities having
less than 6,000 population, if the districts have made the
maximum financial effort and are still obliged to close the
schools before the expiration of the normal term. Teachers already employed in the schools, whose sole source
of income is their salary, may be continued. Teachers
shall be selected by the proper school authorities and
certified by the relief authorities. The pay of such
teachers shall not be higher than that stipulated for the
same positions during the current year.
The SERA's are authorized and directed tomakerelief
funds available to the end of the current academic year,
but not including the summer session, for part-time
employment of college students who need aid. A special
allotment of funds for this purpose will be made by the
FERA. The pay shall be from $10 to $20 per calendar
month per student employed and shall be earned by
socially desirable work. The hourly rate of pay shall be
that commonly paid by the college or university for the
type of service rendered, but not less than 30 cents per
hour. No student shall work more than 30 hours in
any week or more than 8 hours in any day.
No person, whether paid or volunteer, who is connected with the CW A shall use his position for his own
political or financial advantage. All CWA's should exercise care that no person connected with the CWA shall
engage in political activity that in any way interferE>.s
with the effectiveness and integrity of Civil Works
operations. Acceptance of fees, gifts, commissions, or

The FSRC issues a statement of the restrictions which
will govern the purchase of submarginal land.11 It is
stipulated: (1) that the lands purchased shall be such as
in general fall under subsection (c) of section 202 of the
National Industrial Recovery Act; (2) that they shall be
lands having an aggregate production capacity equivalent to those lands reclaimed or improved under the
public works program; (3) that they shall be lands now
used for agricultural purposes which normally yield an
insufficient return to provide reasonably adequate standards of living for those residing on and working such
lands; (4) that they shall be lands available and suitable
for national forest purposes, parks or recreation spaces,
bird or game refuges, additions to Indian reservations,
or such that their protection and development will serve
to retard soil erosion, etc.; (5) that it shall be possible to
work out a definite and acceptable plan for the rehabilitation of the population at present living on such lands. /
Distribution of surplus commodities to CWA employees
is ordered discontinued on February 15.
Certain Federal Civil Works projects are to be discontinued on February 15. The total number of Civil
Works employees in each State is to be reduced by the
number working on these projects.
Nursery school programs have been held up by failure
of the SERA's to authorize purchase of food. Approval
of nursery school programs by the FERA includes permission to use funds for purchase of food.
The President approves the act of Congress making an
additional appropriation for carrying out the purposes of
the Federal Emergency Relief Act of 1933, for continuation of the Civil Works Program under the Federal
Civil Works Administration, and for other purposes.

meet the needs of three separate groups of the unemployed:
1. Distressed families in rural areas. Relief funds
will be expended in a manner and to an extent that will
enable rural families to achieve self-support. Work for
wages from relief funds is not an essen tie.I part of this
phase of the program and will be provided only insofar
as it is necessary to accomplish the primary objective.
No encouragement of an extension of competitive farming is contemplated, but rather the placing of thousands
of persons, who have made their living from agriculture,
into a relationship with the soil that will provide them,
a security they do not now enjoy.
/
2. Those composing "stranded populations" (living in
single-industry communities in which there is no hope of
future reemployment). The solution of the problem of
these families involves their physical transplanting, in a
large majority of cases.
It is planned to explore this situation and, in collaboration with the Subsistence Homesteads Division of the
Department of the Interior and with other Federal and
local agencies, to devise and apply definite remedial
measures, which will affect an appreciable number of
these families. These measures will be directed first at
maintenance on small tracts of land and then at the

development of supplemental industrial opportunities to
provide for a normal standard of living.
/
3. The unemployed in large cities. Direct relief as
such, whether in the form of cash or relief in kind, is not
an adequate way of meeting the needs of able-bodied
workers. They very properly insist upon an opportunity
to give to the community their services in the form of
labor in return for unemployment benefits. Therefore,
work programs which would not normally be undertaken
by public bodies, but which are at the same time outside
of the field of private industry, will be projected and
prosecuted in and near industrial communities. Labor
on these projects will not be expected of dependent
members of the community who are unable to work, but
will be confined to those needy unemployed who can give
adequate return for the unemployment benefits which
they receive. Every effort will be made to continue
opportunities for work for the professional groups in
need-teachers, engineers, architects, artists, nurses, and
others.
This program expresses a conviction that industrial
workers who are unemployed and in need of relief should
be given an opportunity for livelihood by the prosecution
of a flexible program of public works. The several
States will be aided, as the Federal relief law provides,
in the financing of this enterprise.

III
THE EMERGENCY WORK RELIEF PROGRAM
Mar. 8, 1934.
The new program of work is announced, to become
effective March 31, on which date the CWA will be
suspended and work divisions will be organized by the
emergency relief administrations. All desirable State
and local Civil Works projects in operation on the date
of suspension may be transferred to the new work divisions. Separate instructions with regard to Federal
projects and emergency education projects will be given.
The new program of work will be carried forward in communities of more than 5,000 population and in counties
or political subdivisions which are predominantly urban
or industrial.
Persons employed on Civil Works on the date of its
suspension may be transferred to the work divisions.
Any additional persons employed by the work divisions
shall be selected on a basis of need. Needy women shall
receive equal consideration with needy men. Hours of
work shall be limited to 24 per week. The prevailing
wage will be paid, but not less than 30 cents per hour.
The maximum weekly earnings shall not in any case
exceed the amount necessary to meet budgetary requirements. A committee, consisting of one representative
each from organized labor, business, and the local relief
administration shall determine prevailing wage rates.
An adjustment committee shall be appointed to hear
grievances. Responsibility for providing accident compensation insurance rests with the States and localities.
Funds for the Emergency Work Relief Program will
be included in the monthly grants to the States by the
FERA. Such funds shall be used to provide employment only for persons in need of relief. No separate
grants will be made for material purchases.
Work divisions will be responsible for the planning,
organization, and conduct of the program.
All projects will be approved by the SERA. They
shall be of a public character, of economic and social
benefit to the general public or to publicly owned institutions. All projects must be carried on by force account

(day labor) and not by contract. They shall be undertaken independently of work under a contract or for
which an annual appropriation has been made and
must be, in general, apart from normal governmental
enterprises.
Adequate provision shall be made for safety of employees and insofar as possible the activities of the
safety department in the CWA shall be maintained and
carried on as a part of the work divisions.
Effective March 15, Civil Works will be stopped in
recognized drought areas and the relief program will be
based on relief requirements defined as "assistance,
either in cash or kind, sufficient to enable the family
receiving the same to have adequate food, clothing, fuel,
and other necessities heretofore generally allowed as
proper relief items." Determination of the amount and
type of assistance is to be based upon investigation of the
resources of the individual and budgetary needs. Payments by the Government on cotton or wheat contracts
and ability of the applicant to secure loans from public
or private sources should be taken into account. Work
projects, governed by conditions and regulations similar
to those for other work projects, may be carried on.
They may be a continuation of present CWA projects.
Grain or other livestock feed may be supplied through
the FSRC or from the special drought relief grant on the
same basis of need. Such feed may be supplied when
the products of the livestock or poultry are for home use
or are to be sold to purchase necessary budgeted relief
requirements.
The FERA announces that it has in preparation a
manual of procedure, accounting, and reporting, which
will be ready about the end of March. Since this may
change procedures of handling Federal relief funds somewhat, it is suggested that work on any manuals being
prepared for the guidance of local relief offices be suspended, pending receipt of the FERA manual. (See
FERA Manual Advance Bulletins, Appendix A.)
Suggested projects for the work divisions are outlined.
They will fall into six major fields of activity at the beginning of the program, with workers tentatively distributed
as follows: (1) planning (as a guide for approval of
projects), 3 percent; (2) public property, 30 percent;
(3) housing, 15 percent; (4) production and distribution of
goods needed by the unemployed, 15 percent; (5) public
welfare, health and recreation, 7 percent; (6) public

education, arts and research, 10 percent; undistributed,
20 percent.
The administrative staffs in each State and in the larger
cities and counties should include an engineer in charge of
planning and coordination.
No person shall be employed in work divisions less than
54 hours a month nor less than 3 days in any 1 week.
Persons whose budgetary deficiency is less than this
shall receive direct relief. All wages must be paid by
cash or by check. All projects must be approved by the
State Administration.
Administrative projects may be maintained so far as
work can be performed efficiently with workers drawn
from the relief rolls. Workers on these projects shall be
employed on a weekly basis at the going rate in the
community.
General instructions are issued for emergency relief
administration pay-roll procedure. One copy of every
pay roll must be forwarded to the FERA.
A bulletin is issued recommending procedure to be
followed by State and local relief administrations in connection with the purchase of materials and supplies.
Statement of a new plan for rural areas is submitted.
Civil i~'orks and direct relief programs in rural areas and
towns of less than 5,000 population will be replaced as
of April 1, 1934, by a program of rural rehabilitation, the
objective of which is "the placing of the individual family
in a position to become self-eupporting." All relief cases
in rural areas shall be closed as of April 1 and persons in
need are required to reapply. Work projects shall be
developed to provide a means of exchanging work for
advances of consumable goods or capital goods for selfsustenance purposes. They may be a continuation of
unfinished preferred Civil Works projects. Payment for
work may be made in cash only in exceptional cases
approved by the SERA. Work shall be valued at the
prevailing rate but not less than 30 cents per hour. Hours
shall be limited to 24 per week except where capital goods
are being worked out. It should be the policy of the
SERA to refuse relief to a family failing to have a home
garden, if there are facilities for it. Each SERA shall
submit by April 10, 1934, a plan for carrying out this
program.
All workers who are on State and local CWA pay rolls,
except the necessary auditing, accounting, disbursing,
and certifying officers, are to be dropped March 31.

Attention is called to the funds made available on
February 2, 1934, for lump-sum grants to the States for
the rural school continuation program.
The transition from Civil Works Administration to
work divisions of the SERA's is discussed, with special
reference to accident compensation. CWA records must
be completed and arrangements made for payment of
compensation. Employees of work divisions will not be
protected under the provisions of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act of 1916.
Federal CWA projects need not all be terminated
March 31, but will be reduced or terminated in accordance with instructions issued by the Federal department
in charge of the project.
A comprehensive review of CWA activities, giving an
accurate picture of CWA installation, operation, and
accomplishments, is requested from each State. Suggestions are made as to the content of the report.
General rules and regulations in regard to grants and
disbursements of ERA funds are forwarded. The formula to be employed by the State ERA in distributing
FERA funds to local ERA's should be developed to satisfy most equitably the particular unemployment and
relief conditions and needs within the State.
A bulletin on work-project procedure is issued. It
deals with duties of the work division; resubmission of
CWA projects; closing out CWA projects; applications
for new projects; classification of projects according to
field of activity; numbering of projects; transfer of employees from Civil Works projects; placement of workers;
regulations in regard to administrative, supervisory, and

As you are aware, the emphasis of the FERA program ia being
placed upon work relief or subsistence activities for normally
employable people. We feel, particularly now, that it is important
that States and localities continue responsibility for various types
of chronic cases and also continue and extend such services as
pensions for widows, aged, etc.
There has been some intimation that in a number of States
many widows with dependent children have gone over to the

was available under the pension or because pensions were eliminated entirely.

The establishment of FERA regional offices is announced and instructions for their conduct are given.
Each region is to be in charge of the Field Representative
and will have assigned to it a field examiner, social
worker, and engineer, and, where necessary, a rural rehabilitation expert. Funds will be available for incidental expenses of the regional office, if necessary, but it
is expected that in most instances this cost can be taken
care of by State Administrations.
Suggestions are given on the method of submitting
statistical projects for the approval of the FERA. Use
of the application for approval of work projects is advised (FERA Form 141). Supplementary information
must also be sent, together with copies of the questionnaires and other forms to be used. The SERA's are
requested to forward two copies of the final results obtained on these projects.
The SERA's are advised that approximately 545,500
veterans or their dependents will be affected by the
veterans' provisions of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act. It is requested that the SERA's get in
touch with Veterans' Administration representatives
in the States and inform local ERA's of the provisions
of the act so that veterans on relief may receive any
additional compensation to which they are entitled.
Suggestions are sent for the curtailed emergency
education program for the summer months. The continuation of vocational rehabilitation, literacy classes,
and nursery schools is desired. The FERA will not
make special grants for these purposes. The program
should be financed from the general grant to the State,
as approved work division projects.
Information concerning canning and preserving projects planned under the Emergency Work Relief Program
is requested.

In the new program we expect that women will receive their
full share of the jobs among those persons you are employing and
it is highly desirable that this work be directed by some competent
person on your staff.

material allowances followed under the CWA are
operative, except that every effort should be made to
produce material by work-relief labor. Particular attention should be given to projects which will provide
facilities for the preservation and processing of food.

Produce which cannot be made available to relief recipients in a fresh form should be handled by work-relief
projects for drying, canning, or otherwise preserving this
food for relief distribution within the State. Should
any State have an excess of foodstuffs which cannot be
absorbed within the State in preserved form, the FSRC

Shipment of cattle from drought areas to certain
States will start shortly. Instructions on procedure are
given. Additional funds for shipment, testing, pasturage, and canning will be provided on request.
Grants will be made to employ State Supervisors for
the emergency education program for the coming year.
Plans for the program, including selection of supervisors,
are to be made jointly by the SERA and the State superintendent of Public Instruction. Plans must be approved
by the FERA. Supervisory positions need not be filled
by persons in need of relief. Institutes for the supervisors will be held at 13 centers located at established institutions. Special allotments of funds for this
purpose will be made to the SERA's in States where the
institutes are held.
The prohibition agamst use of Federal funds for rental
of offices or purchase of equipment (FERA Rules and

should be secured without rental wherever possible."

Employment of all persons on Civil Works pay rolls
shall be terminated by July 14, 1934. Any accounting
or disbursing functions, handling of claims, storage of
records, etc., may be made a project under the SERA
after that date.
Additional instructions regarding procedure in drought
areas are issued, describing the activities and responsibilities of the relief administrations, the FSRC, and cooperating agencies of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Subjects covered are designation of
drought areas, emergency relief operations, and livestock operations.
A bulletin on Objectives and Suggested Procedure for
Rural Rehabilitation, summarizing previous bulletins
and statements of policy, is issued.

bales of cotton to be used for making mattresses and
comforters for distribution as surplus commodities.
Ticking will be purchased by the FSRC and will be paid
for out of a special allotment of funds. The mattresses
are to be made under tho direction of work divisions in
relief workrooms and with relief labor. It is hoped that
the project will be primarily one for women.
All previous instructions regarding hours of work on
work projects are superseded. Henceforth the usual
hours shall be not less than 6 nor more than 8 per day,
nor more than 30 in any 1 week, and not more than 128

Regional conferences of State transient officials may
not be called without clearing through the Washington
Office.
It is pointed out that State laws govern the right of a
transient to vote. If a transient exercises the voting
privilege, however, his relief needs must be taken care of
in some other manner than through transient bureaus.
A suggested plan for establishing meat-canning plants
for relief purposes is issued.
The Work Division of the FERA has been designated
to promote professional projects and projects for nonmanual workers. The procedure for submission of statistical and survey projects to the FERA for approval
and for the prosecution of Project F-48, National Relief
Census and Supporting Studies, is not changed. Eligibility for employment will be established by means of a
questionnaire filled by the applicant and verified by a
professional or technical organization or by a case
worker. Weekly wage rates sha.11 be set by the county
wage-rate committee, at not less than $2.50 per day.
Hours sha.11 be restricted to 7 per day and days to
5 per week, based on budgetary deficiency. Wages
must be paid in cash or by check.
Additional allotments of Federal relief funds for educational projects will be made and a definite quota of
persons to be employed will be assigned beginning August 1, 1934. It is hoped that, in the development of
this program, 40,000 teachers will be employed throughout the United States.
Special a.llotments of Federal relief funds will be made
to the States to continue the program of providing parttime jobs for college students during the next school
year.
SERA's are requested to comply with the order of
April 14, 1934, giving preferred status to submarginal
land acquisition projects.
Relief to unemployed seamen must be uniform in a.11
ports and a special seamen's division sha.11 be established
within the local transient organization. Eligibility is defined and standards of relief are prescribed.

Instructions regarding mattress-making projects are
sent with the request that the projects be put in operation
at once.
Details regarding the provision of training centers for
nursery school teachers, as authorized May 24, are
announced.
Self-help cooperative groups may arrange for their
members to make donations of labor to the cooperative,
equivalent to the value of surplus commodities received,
but failure to make such donations shall not limit in any
way the distribution of surplus commodities.
The principle of State and local responsibility for compensation for injury on work division projects is emphasized. State Administrations are urged to canvass all
possible sources of funds which might be used to meet this
responsibility. Use of State insurance funds or establishment of a self-insurance plan is suggested to cover
fatalities or permanent disabilities, risks not covered by
direct relief.
Improvement of relief-office facilities, commissaries,
storerooms, workrooms, and transient centers is suggested
as a proper use for work-relief labor. Particular attention is called to the possibility of payment of rental for
offices through such activity.
The SERA's are requested to make tentative contacts
with packing houses in the States to determine what
facilities will be available for processing excess hogs
under the com-hog contracts.
Speed in cattle slaughtering and processing is imperative. The State Work Project Directors and the Regional
Engineers are responsible for expediting the work and
should cooperate with Directors of Rehabilitation and
Commodity Distribution. Information is requested on
status of work and on the relation between production
and estimated relief consumption.
State Superintendents of Public Instruction and the
SERA's are requested to submit plans for emergency
nursery schools for the winter of 1934-35. The Federal
Administrator has given assurance that the nursery
school program will, if possible, be supported throughout
the coming school year.
Tanning and the production of articles from hides of
cattle, sheep, and goats for relief distribution are suggested as work projects.

Policies and principles of organization and adminis- E-3l.
tration of parent education activities are outlined.8
The general policies governing work division projects
apply to the program. Qualified and needy unemployed persons may be employed and may receive inservice training. Supervisors may be employed under
the authorization of June 22, 1934.
The FERA will supply forms for a suggested organize.- RD-6.
/ tion of a State Rural Rehabilitation Corporation. The
articles of incorporation and other corporate documents
should be sent to the FERA for suggestions before they
are submitted to the Secretary of State for final adoption/
/
Work-relief projects are suggested to provide forage, WD-1'.
such as hay, oat and wheat straw, soybean hay, and
cottonseed meal, which will soon be needed for droughtrelief cattle awaiting processing. When necessary, the
crop may be purchased by contract with private property
owners. Drought-relief funds a.llocated to the States
may be used for this purpose. /
Methods to accelerate the State beef slaughtering and wn-1a.
processing programs are outlined. In order that approved
plants may continue in operation and their products may
be available for interstate shipment, arrangements for
Federal inspection should be made.
Further instructions and interpretations concerning C~
work division projects for professional and nonmanual PNtJec•
workers are given. Quotas assigned for each State wn-111.
should be reached by October. Persons must be eligible
for relief, but need not be on the relief rolls. Budgets
sha.11 provide for health, decency, and comfort "commensurate with the previous standard of living." It is
intended that continuous employment be provided, with
a minimum of follow-up. Funds granted for professional
and nonmanual workers may not be used for present
State or local administrative staffs, but planning and
supervisory projects may be initiated under these ad. ministrations. Up to 10 percent of the cost of the project
may be used for materials.

requests for funds must be submitted in the regular application for relief grants and must be accompanied by a
supplementary financial statement on the cattle program.
A further statement is made in regard to the use of
meat processing plants under Federal contracts and under
State contracts. It is not intended that there should be
any competition for plant facilities between the Federal
and the several State programs for slaughtering and
processing of livestock.
SERA's a.re requested to investigate and report on the
practicability of work projects to preserve green forage
by use of the trench silo.
/
Regional Field Representatives of the FERA and Regional Directors of the Land Policy Section of the AAA
should be notified of Rural Rehabilitation Corporation
meetings on organization in order that they may assist
in the formulation of corporate policies a.long uniform
lines in connection with programs for rural rehabilitation,
submarginal land purchase, and resettlement of stranded
opulations. ,
The Rural Rehabilitation Corporation of each State
should be a stock company to comply with the requisites
of proper financing.
An agreement between the FERA and the AAA for
the handling of surplus contract pigs is reported. SERA's
are instructed to make immediate plans with the Agricultural Extension Service in the State to receive and
distribute pigs. Methods of procedure are suggested.
Formation of a Livestock Disposition Committee is
announced by the FSRC. The committee will correlate
Federal and State activities in connection with the purchase and disposition of livestock.
A warning against political activity states:
J
The President has repeatedly stated that partisan politics shall
have no place in Federal Emergency Relief activities. Notwithstanding the publicity given this policy, there arise from time to
time cases where there is every indication that partisan politics
do enter into the administration of relief in the States.
Continued employment of personnel must be on the basis of
qualification and in the case of relief recipients, actual need is the
only factor to be considered.
Political and religious beliefs are of no concern to relief agencies
and must not enter into relief activities.
Employees of relief administrations shall in no way use their
official positions in attempts to control political movements and
shall not engage in political activities that in any way interfere
with the effectiveness and integrity of relief operations.
Any relief employee who may run for political office, whether
National, State, or local, must resign, and any employee found to

sent to SERA's in States with recognized drought areas.
Procedures which have been prescribed, especially those
with regard to livestock feed and forage, should be put
into effect immediately./
The resettlement and rehabilitation of families living

The FERA again states its policy regarding relief to
strikers. (See A-17, Oct. 5, 1933.)
The FERA advises the SERA's that there will be no
Federal fuel plan in operation this winter, but suggests
that the SERA's make adequate provisions. "It is the
desire of this Administration that the people on your
relief rolls be given every possible consideration in
respect to their fuel requirements." (See A-30, Nov. 27,

Chronology of the Fe<kral, Effl(!rgency Relief Administration
A communication concerning the present status of
funds obtained by the States from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for emergency relief purposes,
under section le of the Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932, is sent to the SERA's in response to
inquiries. It is pointed out that provisions in the 1932
act for repayment were waiv~d by an act of the last
Congress (Public, No. 393, 73d Cong., approved June
18, 1934).
A complete recheck of families on relief is requested.
Some reports to the FERA indicate that a few families,
wherein the head of the household is employed full time,
are receiving relief. It is contrary to the FERA policy
to supplement the wages of full-time employees with
relief funds.
Mattress-making work projects under the SERA's
will be closed when approximately 1,000,000 mattresses
have been produced for distribution to the needy. It
is expected that the enterprise will be completed within
2 or 3 mon tbs.
The services of vocational teachers of agriculture and
home economics should be utilized in the rural rehabilitation program. Instructions on proced·ire are given
and cooperation with State Directors of Emergency
Education and State Supervisors of Vocational Education
is requested.
A small admission to public art exhibits and entertainments produced as work-relief projects may be
charged to persons who can pay, with a. view to making
the projects self-supporting. Relief-supported entertainments, however, must not be allowed to compete
with existing nonrelief facilities.
Resident schools and camps for unemployed women
may be continued through the winter, using general
relief funds, with the approval of the SERA. Special
earmarked funds cannot be granted at this time. The
FERA will continue to give desired advisory service.
Projects of the Federal Housing Administration are
made preferred projects. They should be handled as
local work projects. Employment of nonrelief labor or
payment of administrative or operating expenses for
cooperating agencies is not authorized.
The warning against political activity by relief employees (A-59, Aug. 15, 1934) should not be interpreted

Announcement is made that the Division of Research
and Statistics and the Work Division of the FERA are
formulating a procedure for occupational clas~ification,
index, and assignment of workers on work division jobs.
It will be to the advantage of all if States and counties
that are working up such procedures will delay pending
receipt of the FERA material. It is desired to secure
uniform procedure throughout the country.
Balances of earmarked funds in grants to the States
remain available for the specified purpose from month to
month until the termination of the program or activity.
Transfers of funds may be made only after authorization
has been obtained from the FERA. The only exception
is the transfer of funds between the general relief and
transient programs to adjust for the cost of care of
interstate and intrastate transients.
Provision should be made for the moving and relocation
of relief families occupying housing which will be demolished in slum-clearance projects conducted by the ERA or
by the Housing Division of the PWA. Surveys to locate
and secure suitable housing and the actual moving of
relief families may be made work-relief projects.
Suggestions are given for the training of leaders for
parent education groups in the emergency education
program.
The research section of the Division of Research,
Statistics, and Finance of the FERA, which has a number
of Nation-wide research projects in the field, is endeavoring to secure as many of the workers as possible through
the work divisions of the SERA's. These projects
provide emplovment for persons of the professional and
nonmanual type and will be cleared through the regular
routine outlined in Bulletin WD-4, April 20, 1934.
The appointments of a Medical Director and a Dental
Advisor for the FERA are announced. The former will
direct policies and activities in the field of medical relief,
advise on health and sanitation matters, and assist in
developing work-relief projects which promote health.
Word has reached the FERA that funds granted for the
education program and for projects such as the repair of
school buildings have not been allotted in some States and
areas in such a way as to give employment to Negroes in
proportion to their probable needs.

The authority of SERA's to extend relief to Indians,
whether ward or nonward, is broadened. Indians may
be included in all relief programs and activities on the
same basis and under the same regulations as any other
applicants for relief. Officials of the Indian Service will
cooperate with the SERA's in formulating plans.
A change in policy on vocational rehabilitation as a
project in the emergency education program is announced. All funds expended on new rehabilitation
cases will be restricted to relief cases certified by the
local relief administrations. The employment of teachers or other workers on a work-relief basis is no longer
required, if the cases can be cared for by the regular
SERA staff. If emergency workers are retained, they
shall be paid on the same basis as workers in other
phases of the emergency education program.
/
The SERA's in drought States are instructed to discontinue the distribution of livestock feed and to turn
over their stocks of feed to the Rural Rehabilitation Corporations. All such feed, except that needed for cattle
received from the FSRC, should be sold at market
prices to the general public. Complaints that persons
not eligible for relief are receiving livestock feed prompt
this action. Eligible persons may be furnished with
funds for feed through work relief, or with disbursing
orders. /
The Manual of Work Division Procedure is forwarded
to the SERA's. All previous rulings concerning workrelief procedure are assembled in section 1. Instructions for the classification and assignment of workers are
given in section 2. 9 FERA Form 144, family occupational record, is suggested for use in classifying all persons
certified by social service divisions as eligible for work.
Coordination between work divisions and social service
divisions is required. It is suggested that where the
number of persons to be employed warrants, the work
division designate a person to supervise the initiation
and maintenance of the registration and classification
service in each county office.
The SERA's are informed that "all previous rules and
regulations governing minimum hourly rates of pay are

The SERA's are informed about the disposition of
excess hogs under the com-hog contracts of the AAA.
Hogs may not be used for breeding; must be butchered by
March 1, 1935; and the meat must be used only for relief
purposes. (Last date for butchering was advanced to
June 1, 1935, by Supp. RD-20, Jan. 15, 1935.)
A report on the joint conference of Regional Directors
of the Land Program and Rural Rehabilitation Advisers
is issued. It deals with the purposes, procedures, and
regulations governing the operation of the land program
of the FERA, resettlement and rehabilitation of persons
in the submarginal areas, functions of Rural Rehabilitation Corporations, etc. / /
Henceforth relief to seamen shall be provided on the
same basis as relief to other transients. No special
exemptions from transient policy shall be made, but separate housing may be provided if it is a practical and
economical arrangement.
In connection with a check of FERA operations during
the last 18 months, the SERA's are requested to submit special reports on balances of the FERA grants in
banks, cash on hand, and inventories of general relief commodities on November 30, 1934.
The FERA announces the appointment of a Director
of the Parent Education Program.
Further decentralization of the transient program is
necessary. State transient departments shall function as
all other departments of the SERA's. Monthly budgets
will be submitted by the State Administrator, together
with his recommendation.
Attention is called to the desirability of participation
by Negro physicians, dentists, and pharmacists in the
medical relief work among Negroes "so far as economic
limitations and the maintenance of efficient service will
allow." There have been complaints of discrimination.
The rules and regulations governing medical care are
cited.
Plans for purchase and distribution of seeds for subsistence gardens are discussed and the States are asked
to submit opinions on methods and estimates of the cost
of the various plans under local conditions.

Chronology of the FedRral Emergency Relief Administration
/
A statement on rural rehabilitation policies is issued,
dealing with repayment of adva.nces to rural rehabilitation cases, functions of Rural Rehabilitation Coryorations, and use of funds granted for the program.
Financial policies and procedures for the rural rehabilitation program are explained in a comprehensive
bulletin.
A special bulletin on the college student aid program is
issued, summarizing information on administrative procedures and suggested work activities. The desirability
of SERA cooperation in the program is stressed and it is
suggested that a staff member be designated to work
with the participating colleges.
The President delivers his annual message to Congress,
announcing that "work must be found for able-bodied
but destitute workers" and that" the Federal Government
must and shall quit this business of relief." In discussing
the problem of what the Government should do with
approximately 5 million unemployed now on the relief
rolls he states, in part:
RD-22.
RD-22A.
/
About 1½ million of these belong to the group which in the
past was dependent upon local welfare efforts. Most of them
are unable for one reason or another to maintain themselves independently-for the most part, through no fault of their own. Such
people, in the days before the great depression, were cared for by
local efforts--by States, by counties, by towns, by cities, by
churches, and by private welfare agencies. It is my thought that
in the future they must be cared for as they were before. I stand
ready through my own personal efforts, and through the public
influence of the office that I hold, to help these local agencies to
get the means nece88&ry to assume this burden.
The security legislation which I shall propose to the Congress
will, I am confident, be of assistance to local effort in the care of
this type of cases • • •.
There are, however, an additional 3½ million employable people
who are on relief. With them the problem is different and the
responsibility is different. This group was the victim of a Nationwide depreBBion caused by conditions which were not local but
national. The Federal Government is the only governmental
agency with sufficient power and credit to meet this situation.
We have assumed this task and we shall not shrink from it in the
future. It is a duty dictated by every intelligent consideration of
national policy to ask you to make it possible for the United States
to give employment to all of these 3½ million employable people
now on relief, pending their absorption in a rising tide of private
employment.
It is my thought that, with the exception of certain of the
normal public building operations of the Government, all emergency public works shall be united in a single new and greatly
enlarged plan.
With the establishment of this new system we can supersede the
Federal Emergency Relief Administration with a coordinated

The Emergency Work Relief Program
authority which will be charged with the orderly liquidation of
our present relief activities and the substitution of a national chart
for the giving of work.
This new program of emergency public employment should be
governed by a number of practical principles.
(1) All work undertaken should be useful-not just for a day
or a year, but useful in the sense that it affords permanent improvement in living conditions or that it creates future new wealth for
the Nation.
(2) Compensation on emergency public projects should be in the
form of security payments which should be larger than the amount
now received as a relief dole, but at the same time not so large as
to encourage the rejection of opportunities for private employment
or the leaving of private employment to engage in Government
work.
(3) Projects should be undertaken on whioh a large percentage
of direct labor can be used.
(4) Preference should be given to those projects which will be
self-liquidating in the sense that there is a reasonable expectation
that the Government will get its money back at some future time.
(5) The projects undertaken should be selected and planned so
as to compete as little as possible with private enterprises. This
suggests that if it were not for the necessity of giving useful work
to the unemployed now on relief, these projects in most instances
would not now be undertaken.
(6) The planning of projects would seek to assure work during
the coming fiscal year to the individuals now on relief, or until
such time as private employment is available. In order to make
adjustment to increasing private employment, work should be
planned with a view to tapering it off in proportion to the speed
with which the emergency workers are offered positions with
private employers.
(7) Effort should be made to locate projects where they will
serve the greatest unemployment needs as shown by present relief
rolls, and the broad program of the National Resources Board
should be freely used for guidance in selection. Our ultimate
objective being the enrichment of human lives, the Government
has the primary duty to use its emergency expenditures as much
as possible to serve those who cannot secure the advantages of
private capital.

persons from the public relief rolls and, except with the
specific authorization of the WPA, at least 90 percent of
all persons working on a project shall have been taken
from such rolls; (3) only one member of a family group
may be employed on the Works Program, except as specifically authorized by the WPA; (4) all work projects

registered with the employment offices designated by the
United States Employment Service, in order that such
persons may be classified as to occupation and fitness
for work and thus be available for referral to public and
private employment.

shall provide relief, work relief, and employment for
persons between the ages of 16 and 25 yea.rs who are no
longer in regular attendance at a school requiring full
tune, and who are not regularly engaged in remunerative
employment."
It is announced that the State Works Progress Administrators shall be responsible for maintaining a current
labor inventory and other related records of persons
eligible for employment on the Works Program.2
WPA Bulletin No. 7, Labor Employment Procedure,
is issued, defining eligibility for employment on the
Works Program. Procedure for certification and assignment and the functions of relief agencies, WPA offices,
and employment offices are outlined. Instructions are
given for the labor inventory and reassignment offices
of the WPA.
The SERA's are required to prepare and transmit
records of persons eligible for employment to Works
Progress Administration offices and to the employment
offices designated by the USES.
The term "persons eligible for certification", as used
hereinafter, shall mean all persons, male or female, who

are receiving relief on the date of certification and who
were either receiving relief in May 1935 or were accepted
for relief subsequent to May, and are working or seeking
work, are 16 years of age or over, and are not currently
serving sentence in a penal or correctional institution.
The term "relief" as used hereinafter shall mean aid,
given for direct human consumption, consisting of
money, goods, orders for general relief commodities or
services (electricity, gas, water, medical ca.re, lodging,
etc.).
The term "persons receiving relief" as used hereinafter, shall mean all persons who are included in: (a)
resident emergency relief cases (families, single persons,
or local homeless persons) which receive relief under the
general relief program (direct relief or work program);
(b) cases receiving relief under the emergency education
program; this program does not include the college student aid program; (c) transient cases which on the date of
certification have been registered with a local transient
center for a period of 2 weeks or more.
Instructions are given for the preparation of FERA
Form 600, certification of eligibility; FERA Form 601,
notice of case change; and FERA Form 602, cancelation of certification of eligibility.
FERA Forms 144 and 144A and supplementary records
are to be transferred from the ERA offices to offices
designated by the State Works Progress Administrator,
upon request. Until such transfer, the records shall be
maintained by State and local ERA's.
Instructions are sent to social service and transient
divisions regarding certification and transfer to work,
supplementing WPA Bulletin No. 7. Among the rulings
given are:
Priority of workers within families shall be suggested
by the social service division, based upon such considerations as health, disabilities, preservation of skills, and
morale.
Continuation of direct relief shall be conditioned upon
receipt of notice of the client's registration at the employment office. On the date of payment of first pay
check to a person accepted for work on the Works Program, the social service division shall stop relief and close
the case. This ruling necessitates a change in the present
definition of a closed case and a case shall not be held
under care for a month after relief is stopped.
In general, the same principles governing the removal
from the relief rolls and transfer to the Works Program

of persons eligible for employment shall apply to nonresidents receiving transient relief.
No certification of transients (except in the case of
those who return to their place of legal settlement)
shall be made for those who register after July 15, 1935.
It should be made clear to the transients now in work
camps that their chance for speedy absorption into the
Works Program is not jeopardized by their removal
from population centers. Not only will their records
remain in the files of the employment office until they
are employed but it may be assumed that many of the
existing transient camps will be transferred, together
with their certified personnel, to the Works Program.
A review of all work-relief activities in each State for
the period April 1, 1934, to July 1, 1935, is requested.
The review should convey an accurate picture of work
division installation, operation, and accomplishment.
An outline is given of topics to be covered.
The SERA's are urged to report for the State as a whole
and for individual counties the total number of March
cases from which cases with eligible workers were selected
for the occupational inventory.3
A memorandum on standards and procedure in establishing educational camps for unemployed women is
issued.
The following interpretations of Bulletin A-90 in regard
to the certification of relief clients for employment on the
Works Program are given: (1) The term "persons receiving relief" does not include those in cases receiving
only medical relief or only surplus commodities; (2) all
persons who on the date of certification are receiving aid
through the emergency education program or on a professional and technical project must have their eligibility
for relief determined on the same basis as all other
persons.
Instructions are given to State Works Progress Administrations and State Emergency Relief Administrations
regarding the installation of FERA Form 144 and Form
144A files and the labor inventory system.•
The new ruling that enrollment for CCC camps is
limited to persons with dependents on relief rolls includes
enrollment for veterans' CCC camps.

States to make more adequate provision for aged persons, blind persons, dependent and crippled children,
maternal and child welfare, public health, and the
administration of their unemployment compensation
laws; to establish a Socia.I Security Board; to raise
revenue; and for other purposes."
The inauguration of the new Works Program and
anticipated changes in the financing of relief necessitate
additional information on obligations incurred for
emergency relief from local public funds for the fiscal
years July 1, 1933-June 30, 1934, and July 1, 1934June 30, 1935. The SERA's are requested to have the
reports prepared by local units and certified by a State
official.
Persons with May relief status who reapply for relief
after a period of private employment may be certified
for employment on the Works Program, if accepted for
relief and otherwise eligible for certification.
All ERA's are urged to continue allowances to relief
cases transferred to WPA projects for a period sufficient
to maintain such cases until they receive their first
checks from the WPA.
It is requested that ERA's cooperate fully in certification of students for the school aid program. Youths
are eligible for school aid if their families received relief
in May 1935 and are still receiving public assistance or
have employment on the Works Program.
Instructions are given to SERA's in regard to the liquidation of the surplus commodity distribution program
"as the Federal Emergency Relief Administration withdraws from direct relief." Family allotments of commodities are to be increased and eligibility is modified.
Local relief administrations should be instructed to
remove from the relief rolls all persons certified to receive
surplus commodities only. Such persons, however, may
continue to receive surplus commodities. The word
"Federal" in connection with surplus commodity distribution shall be eliminated. It is suggested that Statewide WPA projects for the distribution of surplus commodities be prepared and submitted for approval under
the initial sponsorship of the SERA's and to be sponsored
by the permanent State welfare agencies after Federal
relief funds are withdrawn from the State.
The WPA announces its adoption of the Occupational
Classification and Code of the FERA for the following

Service and other official employment or pay-roll records
of the WPA.
Rules and regulations are prescribed with regard to
student aid projects, which will be supervised by the
National Youth Administration, and to the employment
of youth on WPA projects.
Attention is called to the procedure for enrolling
eligible transient boys in the CCC. The SERA's are
told that it is imperative that machinery be set up
and efforts be made to secure the maximwn enrollment in view of the early discontinuation of Federal
relief grants.
Certification for employment on the Works Program
of a case which received relief in May 1935 or thereafter
is not to be canceled if the case is closed because a
member of the relief group has secured private employment. Cases which received relief in May 1935 and
which have been closed before certification because a
person in the relief group secured private employment
shall, if accepted upon reapplication for relief, be
certified as cases with May relief status.
The SERA's receive this order: "After midnight
September 20 no more persons shall be accepted for
service and relief from special transient funds."
Because of the termination of transient intake, instructions regarding the certification of transients for employment on the Works Program are modified. Employable
transients shall be certified as eligible if they remain
under transient care for 2 weeks after September 20,
1935, providing that: (1) They are eligible for relief, and
(2) they have not left their domiciles for the purpose of
obtaining employment as transients on the Works
Program.
The establishment of five regional or field offices is
announced "for the purpose of furnishing State and
district Administrators and Directors timely information
and interpretation of established policies and procedures
of the FERA and the WPA and also for the purpose of
maintaining a means and a system of reporting to the
Washington Office." It is pointed out that: "It is a
function of the regional staff to foster desirable and helpful relationships with Federal, State, and local governmental departments or agencies to the end that the
entire program may be well-balanced and coordinated."

Chronology of tM Federal E~rgency Relief Administratwn
State Works Progress Administrations are instructed
with regard to the number of persons who must be put
to work on WPA jobs by November 1 in order to reach
the objective of employing 3,500,000 persons in the
United States on the Works Program on that date. The
letter states, in part:
Lett« (Gill>.
The Works Progress Administration's program within the State
should be so distributed as to provide employment in the various
localities in proportion to the number of employable workers on
the relief rolls, with due allowance made for employment furnished
by other agencies operating under the Works Program.

An order is issued regarding certification of women A-1oe.
for employment on the Works Program. Women who
are working or seeking work, whether or not they
appear to be needed at home to care for minor children,
should be certified, if they meet other requirements for
eligibility.
Authorization is given to extend relief to transients A-101.
through the local relief offices, using general relief funds.
Earmarked grants will be continued for the care of
persons now receiving relief in transient camps and
shelters, until the transients are absorbed by the Works
Program or until Federal rslief grants to the States are
discontinued.

ments with the SERA's to take care of Resettlement intake through joint intake offices, 88 a result of an agreement between the WPA and the Resettlement Administration. Any additional cost for this purpj>se, however,
is not chargeable to Federal relief funds. /
An alphabetical index of occupations, designed to aid WP.A. Circular
in coding occupations according to the Occupational No. u.
Classification and Code (WPA Circular No. 2), is sent
to the States. The index is based principally upon the
"Alphabetical Index of Occupations, Fifteenth Census
of the United States: 1930" and was prepared by the
Division of Research, Statistics, and Finance of the
FERA.

2. If no person included within a relief group certified
as eligible for Works Program employment has as yet
been assigned to a Works Program job, the local agency
may cancel the certification if any of the following conditions exist: (a) The certification was made by mistake;
(b) all persons included within the relief group who have
been certified as eligible workers die, are incapacitated,
or move from the locality; (c) a change takes place in the
family situation which makes the case ineligible for relief,
unless the change was the employment in private industry
of a person included within the relief group.
3. When a certified case is closed by the relief agency
because a person included within the relief group has
secured private employment, the certification is not to
be canceled, but the employment office and the WPA
should be notified that the person is employed in private
industry and is temporarily not MSignable.
4. The fact that a member of a certified relief group
has secured private employment and is temporarily
unassignable to a Works Program job does not preclude
the assignment of other persons included in the same case.
Also, should a member of a certified relief group who
has secured private employment lose such employment,
he may return directly for assignment to a Works
Program job regardless of the amount of salary or wage
received in private employment.
5. Only after careful consideration of all the factors
involved should relief be discontinued because of the
refusal of a Works Program job by a member of a certified relief group. In no instance should discontinuance of
relief to such a case automatically result in cancelation of
the certification. If it has been decided to discontinue
relief, cancelation should be made only after consultation between the local ERA and the WPA.
