ROOSEVELT WORKS
ON BUDGET FIGURES
Plans to Spend Most of Day
at His Desk Despite Fed.
eraI Holiday.

Busy with completing budget esti-
mates for the next fiscal year Presi-
dent Roosevelt planned to remain at
his desk most of today, despite his
executive order declaring a full holiday
for Federal employees.
The budget estimates must be ready
for submission to Congress when it con-
venes next week To complete this work
the President has had frequent daily
conferences with Director Of the Budgey
Douglass, Acting Secretary Of the Treas.
ury Morgenthau and various other
administration officials
Mr. Roosevelt also faces the task nj
writing his annual message to Congress
IN which ne must report upon the stats
OF the Union and in which he must
give an accounting for his Stewardship
and in which he will set down recon-
mendat1ons for needed legislation. The
Presidents principal concern now. how
ever, is to get the budget out of the
way and then he will get to work on the
message.
No Difficulty Expected.
Those who have discussed this with
MIN were given to understand that he
anticipates no great difficulty in writ
ing the message and if he can get to
work on it without too many INTERRUPT
lions he Is confident he can complete
it in few hours time.
In this particular Mr.. Roosevelt is
especially fortunate Unlike some of
the more recent Presidents he writes
rapidly and has little difficulty in put
ting his thoughts on paper. In addi-
ton, he seldom has to make MANY
changes after his writings have been
typed.
The President arose earlier than
usual today, despite the fact that 1t
was governmental holiday, and lost
no time getting to work on the budget
writing problem
With the exception Of Elliot Roose-
welt, the second son of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, who Is living In
California, the President is today sur
rounded by all the members of his i'm
mediate family, including his mother.
Mrs. James Roosevelt, and his grand
children.
Prepare for Dance.
The White House will be made ready
today for the New Year eve dance,
given for Mrs. Anna Curtis Dali, the
only daughter of the President. Franklin
jr., and John Roosevelt, the two younger
sons, also are home from college for
the holidays.
The White House will not be the
scene of the customary New Year day
reception this year, inasmuch as the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt decided
some months ago to abandon this
custom, at least for this year.
Vice President and Mrs. Garner, who
returned to Washington yesterday from
their Texas home, will be luncheon
guests tomorrow at the White House.
The President has not seen the Vice
President since Congress adjourned last
June, and following the meal tomorrow
they will retire to the quiet of the
Presidents study on the second floor
for a long chat which will include an
informal discussion of prospective legis-
lation.

TIGHTEN UP THE
LOOSE PARTS

Efficient operation of any piece of
machinery, whether built of men or
metal, is dependent upon its integral
parts, massive and minute.
Every time the fiivver develops a
rattle the first thought of a mechan-
ician and correction of the fault.
A wavering household appliance
necessitates an immediate visit to the
family tool chest.
An unfamiliar sound from the office

Guilty.
Whatever the trouble, or where,
correction without delay is Indicated
That is the commonest common
sense. A continuation of the trouble
means loss of time, interruption of
efficiency and possible disintegration
Loose parts in the machinery of
an organization are also undesirable
and often unnecessary.
Tighten them up by using the screw
driver of cooperative effort.
See that the needless member is
made conscious of his responsibility,
of the necessity of adjusting himself
to conditions in the trade now beyond
human control.
Point out the impossibility of pres
ent conditions continuing forever.

edge on the canvas of experience.
Keep alive interest in the organi-

about of better conditions.
Get him to attend union meetings.
Incite his interest in matters and ac-
tions in which all should be concerned
you and he and others.
If grievance exists, aid him TO
seek its solution through the proper
authorities, rather than nurse it as a
grudge.
If he has plan he thinks will be
of benefit, see that it is given respect
full consideration.
Make his troubles your troubles un-

Rejuvinate his spirit of self-help
and mutual cooperation, without
which no cause may prosper.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
Held Big Factor in Keeping
Up Women Toilers' Pay

Washington, d. c.. ILNS)-The
Women's Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor says that facts
on women's wages and hours in the
garment making industry revealed in
a recent report of the bureau, give
fresh evidence of the need for just
the sort of industrial control that the
national industrial recovery act will
provide.
Among other things, the Women's
Bureau report shows that Arkansas
women making mems work clothing
during the past year had weeks earn
ings with a median less than half
the median for their California sis
ters doing the same kind of work.
At the same time the California wo-
men had a work schedule of eight
hours a day, while those in Arkansas
were expected to put in from forty
five minutes to one hour more each
day for the much lower rate of pay.
California manufacturers must
compete for the same markets with
manufacturers in other states who
pay half the wages for longer hours.
How long California would have been
able to maintain her superior stand
ards, under the chaotic conditions de-

veloping in the clothing trades is
problematical. Clearly, regulation of
the sort the national industrial re-
covery act sets up was imperative if
the higher standards were to survive,
the bureau says.
One other state, Georgia, and the
city of New Orleans were included in
this first section of study that grad
ually will include other states. The
hours and earnings of women engag-
ed in the manufacture of women's
dresses are being Investigated as
well as those in the mems work
clothing.
Consistently, California was far
. ahead of the other states in the mat
ter of favorable earnings and hours
in both sections of the clothing in
dustry, the report points out. The
median of a weeks earnings for Cali
fornia women making mems work
clothing-half the women earning
more and half less-was $14.50. The
median next in rank, that for Geor-
gia, showed drop to $7.45. New
Orleans followed with a median of
$500, and Arkansas trailed the group
with $6.55.
In all four states women making
house dresses earned less than did
those making mems clothing, accord
ing to the report. However, Califor
MIA was still in the lead, with the
median of a weeks earnings of
S10.45. In Arkansas the median was
1920; in Georgia, $5.05; and in New
Orleans, S4 The extremely low
medians in New Orleans and Georgia
are influenced by the fact that in New
Orleans 80 per cent of the women and
in Georgia about 20 per cent earned
less than SO. In Arkansas only 6 per
cent and in California only a little
over per cent were paid in such ex-
tremely low amounts.
California has had median
wage law since 1913 Exactly how
much of the markedly higher pay in
this state can be ascribed to the
minimum wage and how much to a
difference in locality cannot be deter
mined, the report points out. How
ever, it cannot be doubted that the
minimum wage has been strong de-
termining factor in the maintenance
Of the higher standard, the Women's
Bureau declares.
