These wage boards are being eliminated throughout California, and wage control is being centralfice of the SERA. ized in state ofheadquarters, the text of the explanation of the new wage plans issued to San Bernardino county's emergency unemployment relief committee and SE- RA Director Harold P. Thoreson: RATES ARE COMPILED "Under the CWA program, Washington authority provided for the appointment of wage boards in each county, their duties being to furnish a list of the rates of pay for various classifications of skilled and unskilled labor.
"Under the new SERA program the Federal administrator, Harry L. Hopkins, specified that the rates of pay developed by these wage boards should be applicable. "In connection with work on construction projects, wage boards were expected to fix wage rates in conformity with rates prescribed by local county boards of supervisorg for similar kinds of work. "The SERA was to intervene and modify wage rates established by the local wage boards where evidence was presented that such rates were not the prevailing rates. Such modifications were to be made only after adequate hearing by adjustment boards or committees.
"On professional, technical and women's work projects the rate of pay was governed by the Federal Government's general statement to the effect that wages on projects should be those paid for like work in various communities. EDICT RESCINDED "Wage schedules approved by the administrator for the various modification thereof officially remained until effective, approved by the administrator. 'All SERA employment relief project applications were to be based on wage schedule in effect at time of preparation. the Wages paid were always to conform to the wage schedule effective the time the work was done, regardless of the rates which were specified in the approved application. Where necessary, supplemental applications would be approved to cover additional labor costs resulting from authorized changes in rates.
"The new set-up is inspired by Hopkins rescission of the 30 cents per hour minimum wage and provides that whenever it comes to the attention of a local director or field representative that the established wage schedule in any county does not actually conform to the prevailing wages in the locality, the field representative should submit evidence to that effect to the administrator with a request that a wage rate committee be appointed to reconsider the wage schedule for the county in question. At the same time he should suggest the names of two persons to serve on the who should represent respectively: the local ERA and labor. "If the facts warrant, the administrator will then appoint two members of a wage rate committee to represent respectively, the local ERA and organized labor, and will instruct them to select from a local business or profession a third member who, when confirmed by the administrator, will complete the committee. The committee will then determine the prevailing wages for various occupations in the locality."
