Jobs for 10000 Women
Goal of Conference

Jobs for 100000 to 100000 un-
employed women must be found
at once. according to statements
made by Harry Hopkins, Federal
Emergency Relief Administrator,
and others interested in the
problem, at Mrs. Roosevelt's con-
ference on the problem today.
1t was admitted that not as
much had been done for these
women as for other unemployed
groups. The suggestion was made
that they could in many instances
be given clerical jobs on public
works projects, and that Federal
relief funds could be used to pay
them.
Many nationally prominent wo-
men attended the conference,
meeting at the White House to
discuss the lot of unemployed
women. Included are Miss Mabel

Troyanovsky Ranks High in
Soviet Councils; Was in
Tokyo Five Years


Soviet Russia will do its utmost
to win regard in the United States,
it was indicated today, as Alex
ander Antonovich Troyanovsky,
first Soviet ambassador to the
United States, prepared to leave
Moscow. He is expected here
within two weeks.
The new ambassador stands
high in the councils Of the U. S.
S. r., holding the post OF vice
chairman Of the state planning
commission after five years as
Russian ambassador at Tokyo.
Father OF Two
He has been identified with the
revolutionary movement in Rus
STA since 1902, when he was gradu-
ated from the University of Kiev.
He Is 81 years old, is married and
the father of two children.
Upon leaving college he Joined
the anti-czarist movement and
became a member of the Social
Democratic party in 1904. Five
years later he was exiled to ST.
IBERIA, but he escaped after a year,
in 1910, and fled to France, where
he earned a livelihood through
literary endeavorS.
He returned to his fatherland
in 1917 in time to take part in the
revolution and see active service
in the army Of the revolt. In 1918
he was made assistant chief of
the archives department. The
next year he began a three-year
term in the commissariat OF
workers and peasants inspection.
Went To Tokyo in 1927
In 1923 Troyanovsky was named
president of the board OF direc-
tors of "Gostorg" the state trad
ing corporation. At the same
time he held the post of member
Of the collegium of the peoples
commissariat for foreign trade.
He went to Tokyo in 1927, re-
manning until 1888. watching
Japan's first invasion Of Man
churia, and observing later de-
velopments in the Sino-Japanese
imbroglio.

he tugged at the release valve to
ascertain whether it was operating
properly.
It was not. and instead Of clos

So within is minutes after the
take-off just before dawn, the
black and white gondola, chris
tened "a Century Of Progress" by
Mrs. Rufus Dawes, wife of the
World Fair president, was bump
ing along a railroad track in
downtown Chicago.
Settle so skilfully set 1t down in
the railroad yards, avoiding a net
work of nearby high-tension wires,
that the gondola was scarcely
damaged.
Commander Settle, who is mar
ried and has small son, has
more flying hours in all types Of
aircraft to his credit than any
other officer in any navy in the
world. His speciality is lighter
than-air ships, but he also has
accomplished many feats with air.
planes and gliders.
He is one of the few filters ever
to cut loose in a glider attached
to a Zeppelin. This he did in
Washington. D. c.. in a glider he
had never handled before, when
another officer, scheduled to take
off over the White House from
the Navy airship Los Angeles, sud-
denly became i'll.
Settle was abroad the Los An
geles when it was brought to this
country from Germany, where it
was built. He also has made
flight in the German Graf zeppe-
lin, as well a. in the Akron and

filled-not even by margin Of
so per cent.
The reason is apparent, says
Miss Dessez. 1t takes money to
prepare these boys for the exami-
nations that will entitle them to
a Presidential appointment to the
military and naval academies.
State Funds insufficient
And that's where Miss Dessez
and her co-Workers are stopped.
Some states have set aside funds
for this purpose but in many in
stances the funds are insufficient
and in some cases, there are none
at all.
In the District of Columbia,
where there are 116 war orphans,
there is no such fund. Miss
Dessez will attempt to obtain leg
islation in the next Congress.
Although the work f.. OF Miss

cipally with obtaining scholar
ships for boys, she already has
sent several girls to school.
Some of the children have gone

in all, she reports. there are 1864
war orphans in the country.

At SLOW RATE

Unemployment Of ousted' Gov
eminent workers continued at a
low ebb last week, according to
reports today to the Civil Service
Commission, which showed a net
gain of 10 names on the list.
The number of ousted and fur
Laughed employees awaiting jobs
now stands at 1857, as against
1857 week ago.
E. Claude Babcock, president
of the American Federation of
Government Employees, said:
Replies to our questions on
the unemployment lists would
make one think that it would
not be long before all the per-
sons whose names appear on
the lists would be reemployed.
II the emergency organizations
do what they say they are going
to do. that will be the result.
However, indications are
that they have not been using
the lists very extensively up to
now.

experiences in use of the lists
had not been very satisfactory.

10000 will tax even the re-
nowned astuteness of the Soviet
statesman.
Kerensky Debt Problem
Both sides face a difficult prob
lem in the $187. 100000 Kerensky
debt. In that this is govern
ment debt. President Roosevelt
has no authority to reduce 1t or
make any bargain in connection
with it without submitting the
matter to Congress.
On the other hand, the Soviets
cannot recognize it without be-
coming liable for claims from
other countries, including Japan
and Germany.
The problem facing the con-
ferees is to seek a formula
whereby an arrangement can be
made for settlement Of this debt
without any formal declaration
or recognition by the Soviets.
American conferees are hopeful
this can be accomplished.
There also is the question OF
private debts amounting to ap-
proximately $9O.OOO,ooo. These
represent debts contracted by the
Czarist regime with American
financial houses.
Trade Credit Wait

important understandings on the
extension OF American credit to

of trade would be reached in tf<kS

Anderson of the Woman's Blu
reau, Mrs. August Belmont, Miss
Selma Borchardt and Miss Mary
DewSon.
Mrs. Roosevelt said that as a
group the unemployed women
have been rather sighted up to
now, and that the purpose of the
conference of women leaders is to
find means of giving them jobs.
Mr.. Hopkins said the need is
less serious in rural communities
than in cities because fewer wo-
men are affected there by the un-
employment situation. A large
percentage of these women, he
said, have lived all their lives in
the same localities; it is not
problem of caring tor transients.
Speed was urged by Mr.. Hop
kins and the other speakers. Some
thing must be done for these
women, it was admitted, within
the next 80 days. ~

Soviet Union showed to the
whole world examples Of ire
mendOus creative work.
with intense efforts they
turned our country in a short
time from a backward agrarian
into an advanced industrial
country, and it is precisely be-
cause Of this that our workers
and peasants look with greatest
interest and attention to the
country Of advanced technical
progress, the United States Of
America.
"The most important condi-
ton for securing technical prog
ress and the well-being Of the
people is the preservation and
STRENGTHENING Of peace among

SEES MUTUAL BENEFIT
II am convinced that now
when all artificial obstacles for
full and manifold contact be-
tween the peoples Of our two
great nations are removed, it
will greatly benefit not only
their mutual interests but also
the economic and cultural prog
reSS Of mankind and the
strengthening of universal
peace.
II strongly believe that now
will begin an era. of fruitful
and manifold cooperation be-
tween, our two nations. am
convinced that the joy which
We feel on this &C casiOn Is

Landing Uncertain
Settle said he expected little
difficulty in handling the balloon.
He could not predict in what sec
ton he would land, saying that
lit all depends on the wind"
The ballooniSts were dressed in
the heavy toys of aviators. At
the peak of their flight, the tenn
perature will be approximately So
degrees below zero, they said, but
the temperature within the gon-
dola was expected to be kept
around 40 degrees above.
The adventure today marked
Fordneys first balloon flight. He
became interested in the strato-
sphere jaunt while posted at a
Government exhibit at the Chi

fot the traditional rivalry between

WARNED
On BUILDING
CODE SNACS
Craftsmanship Needed, Not
CraftineSS,' View Given
to Johnson

Organized labor today was
warned that craftsmanship and
not craftineSS" was required to
promote unemployment of more
than 100000 in the construction
industry.
The warning was given by A.
P. Greensfelter, of st. Louis. sec.
ond vice chairman of the Con-
struction League of America. He
was the first witness at the re-
opened public hearing on a code
for the construction industry, He
said:
"The league has no cOntro-
versy with labor. But it knows
that men who earn in a week
what building craftsmen de
mand for a day and a half Of
employment are not going to
be in the market for new
homes"
He charged that labor. particu.
larly as represented by the build
ing trades division Of the A. F. Of
L., was holding up approval Of
the master code for the construc.
ton industry.
Johnson Hears Case
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson was in charge of the
hearing. With him were Donald
R. Richberg, chief counsel of the
NRA; Col. r. w. Lea. assistant
recovery administrator; Deputy
Administrators Malcolm Muir,
Malcolm PRIME and Sol. A. Rosen-
blatt. This represented the largest
concentration of NRA officials at
any code hearing. Greensfelder
said:
eve can reempIOy 100000
men within the next few
months if our code is approved
quickly by President Roosevelt.
Acceptance of this code is the
only means of ending chaos in
the second largest industry Of
this country.
CHISELERS FLAYED
Failure to approve the code
quickly will prevent the NRA
Blue Eagle from flying to all
sections of our country"
Organized labor's attempt to get
provisions in the master code
which would set minimum wage
scales for all types of skilled labor
in this industry was championed
by one of the employer groups,
the National Association of Mas
ter Plumbers.
r. J. Barrett. president of the
association, believed establishment
of such scales for skilled labor
was legal under the National In.
dustrial Recovery Act and thought
such scales should be included in
the code to prevent the exploita'
ton of labor by chiseling EN-.
ployers.
He said most of the bid-ped-
ding in the industry was possible
only because such minimum scales
for skilled labor did not exist.
