Man Who First Persuaded Gov

flee Offers His Name

Chicago, June 29.-(P)-Nominating
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presi-
dency Wednesday, his old friend, John
E. Mack, told the Democratic conven-
ton the New Yorker filled the crying
need for practical American with a
clear perspective and knowledge Of
the entire nation as our chief eXecu-
tive"
; One of the most tumultous out
bursts of vociferous convention came
as Mack the man who persuaded
Roosevelt to run for his first public
office more than 20 years ago. placed
his name before the 1854 delegates.
Mack said Roosevelt comes to this
convention with the greatest number
OF states behind him in the history of
the Democratic party: the north, the
east the south and the west-the great
central states of the midwest unite"
He said Roosevelt has captured the
heretofore impregnable enemy
stronghold Of upstate New York, the
territory which in all the history of
the Democratic party never gave its
gubernatorial candidate majority
why this sudden charge in the
|Notes of upstate New York;" Mack
asked. 1T was brought about, in the
first place, because he insisted on
knowing his own state first. He knew
every public institution and county in
Il the state, every public institution and
county in the state knew him. 1t was
a repetition of his record as assistant
secretary of the navy when. because of
I his characteristic thoroughness, he
knew every port Of this country and
every port. likewise, knew him."
Knows His Subject
A marked characteristic of the man
he advocated for the presidency, Mack
said, was his ability to get things
done through knowing his subject.
- He inStanoed his delving into the
subject of marketing farm produce,
which resulted in a measure that
protected the farm from rapacious
3kand dishonest middlemen." He cited
Governor Roosevelt's success as bus
iness executive and his record as as
sistant secretary of the navy and as
governor of New York.
He has put into effect more saw
4 ings and brought about such efficient
administration that the credit of the
L state of New York is on higher basis
/ than that of the federal government"
/ Mack asserted.
He has first-hand information, i"
Mack added, "of the demands ard
needs of every state in the union be-
cause he has been in every one of
them"
Gentlemen of the convention" he
said, "our party presents to the coun-
try no claim for immediate relief
from all our present ills.
I'VE make no reiteration of the
following but untitled promises of our
opposing candidates of four years ago
nor present assurances of recovery
within "a hours from the depression
which exists, but We do promise an
earnest, sincere and determined eff
/ fort under the leadership of a man
whose courage is unquestioned and
whose word is as good as gold to so

BRITISH UNIONS
Act to Organize Jobless
Workers
By HERBERT TRACEY

London.-The General Council of
the Trades Union Congress at their
last meeting had under consideration
recommendation from the Trades
Councils joint consultative commit
tee for the creation of local unem-
ployed workers association. A few
bodies of this kind are already in
existence.
Active steps are now to be taken
under the guidance of the general
council to foster such organizations
throughout the country.
The general council attempted in
1927 to press forward the organiza-
ton of the unemployed on these lines,
and chose six experimental centers;
but following discussion at the Edin-
burgh Congress in 1927 the general
councils recommendations were not
carried into effect. The initiative was
left to the Trades Councils in the mat
ter of local organization, though, Of
course, the general council has been
active in connection with the proc
lem of unemployment in general, and
particularly in relation to benefits and
the proper treatment of people under
the unemployment insurance acts.

industry. A committee is preparing
