Much Ado in Manhattan. Lively scenes have attended the WPA strike in New York. Very exciting for everybody, including the cops. Above we seen an effigy of Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum (D. -- Va.) and John E. Taber (R.-- N. Y.) of the House subcommittee investigating the WPA, being seized by a policeman, in Columbus Circle, after WPA strikers and sympathizers attempted to hang the two representatives in effigy as part of a demonstration protesting dismissal of workers who had been on the WPA rolls more than 18 months.
