WASHINGTON. Jan. 81 Omitted
PreS) ).-President Harding today
called on six OF the government de-
partments 10 undertake at once all
work possible TO relieve unemploy-
ment.
The President today made public
"a letter sent to the Secretaries OF
War. Navy, Agriculture. Treasury,
Interior and Commerce, calling at
tention to the vital importance OF
Federal agencies assisting in reliev-
ing unemployment
Harding said although remarkable
results have been achieved in reliev-
ing unemployment, the most difficult
period Is just ahead and he urged
the government departments TO start
at once all possible work which
might otherwise be delayed several
months.
"The response Of the general pub
lie to appeals for the widest possi-
BILE Employment has been so generous
and effective that I think we should
be the more concerned to have the
agencies of the Federal government
do their utmost share in this hui
name effort" the Presidents letter
stated, "The response OF employ
ing interests throughout the coun-
try to the appeal for special efforts
TO afford employment to tho great
est possible extent during the winter,
has produced highly gratifying re-
suits. Thanks. TO this fine co-opera-
ton. the situation has been much
less difhcult during the winter thus
far than it otherwise might have
been.

department may be able to afford in
extending further employment
States and cities as well as pri-
vate companies and individuals have
taken more comprehensive and ef-
fective measures than probably have
ever been taken before in such sit
uation.
Employers have to marked de-
gree exerted themselves TO find work
for employees and have anticipated
repair and construction operations
which otherwise would have re-
mained to have been taken up later.
"The city and State authorities
have generally organized to provide
work and to prevent or alleviate dis
tress, due to lack Of employment. In
substantially every city where the
need has appeared. the mayor has
appointed emergency committees to
lead the communitys action. NUM-
cipal bonds have been sold to an un-
precedented degree TO provide for
construction. as early as possible, Of
needed municipal work. In this way
much winter work has been pro-
vided.
any purpose IN writing you now
is to ask you to have a thorough ex-
animation made forthwith OF all the
repair and construction plans in
your department, determine what
necessary work which otherwise
would not have been undertaken
until later in the year, might be ad-
vanced 20 as to provide employment

is possible and practicable, that such
work be undertaken"

FARMERS FAVOR
EIGHT-H0UR LAW

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-zTho Ma
tional Agricultural Conference, after
a spirited debate today, refused to
recommend to Congress repeal Of
the Adamson eight-hour law and the
guarantee provisions OF the Esch-
Cummins law.

these recommendation from the
resolution urging lower freight rates
The action resulted after several
delegates asserted that inclusion OF

mendations was made by A. c. Ia.
