Back to Work
The Story of Pwa (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Back to Work: The Story of Pwa<br><br>In order to correct the ills of unemployment and again to start the wheels of industry, the national administration, in midsummer of 1993, under power granted to it by Congress, undertook a program of public works. PWA, as this enterprise soon came to be known after our American fashion of familiar abbreviations, has aroused and held the interest of the people in every part of the land. So far-flung have been its activities that there are few sections of the country where visible evidence of PWA may not be seen by the interested. In hundreds of thousands of homes PWA has meant steady wages, which in their turn have meant food and shelter and clothing, with perhaps a bit left over for some of the comforts and modest luxuries of life.<br><br>By the terms of the original National Industrial Recovery Act, PWA was due to expire by limitation of law on June 16, 1935. By a recent act of Congress its life has been extended to July 1, 1937. As a result the activities of PWA will be continued and expanded as part of the recovery program to be financed out of the 4 billion 880 million dollars recently appropriated by the Works Relief Resolution.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
