PARLEY OUTLINES
VOCATIONAL PLAN
14-Point Program Adopted to
Reduce Relief Demands
of Future.

A program Of constructive relief
through vocational education which
builds for the future" looking toward
q reconstruction that will minimize the
necessity Of emergency relief In the fu-
ture, was adopted by the Citizens Con-
ference on Vocational Education and
the Problems of Reconstruction at its
closing session at the Willard Hotel yes
terday.
The plan calls for 14-point program
to restore the confidence Of the unem-
ployed and fit them to earn q lveli-
hood by vocational training. The two
day conference was held under the
sponsorship of the American Vocational
Association, the American Council on
Education and the National Education
Association.
People may be fed, clothed and shell
tered, but such measures must be re-
peated," the report read, land we are
no better of year hence than We are
today. We need to plan all measures OF
relief with respect to the future"
Suggestions in Program.
Many of the suggestions made In the
address of Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette Thursday were embodied In the
emergency program.
The suggestions in the 14-point pro-
gram included: The training of home
makers to maintain satisfactory stand
ards of living and family morale on re-
duced family income and with increased
family dependents; training skilled
wage earners to meet new employment
demands; training farmers to be more
self-sustaining in what they produce
and the reviving Of old home crafts to
supplement the reduced income OF
farmers and wage earners.
1t also suggested the training of un-
employed workers in newly developing
occupations, the creation of a program
of home making education, flexible
enough to serve the present emergency
as well as future needs of all types of
homes, as social responsibility. 1t
also called for training Of unadjusted
youth to make use Of enforced and
otherwise wasted leisure.
Many Prominent Speakers.
Other points include: Training the
unemployed toward self Improvement;
adjusting to a balanced rural life the
vast army returning to the country
from the cities; rehabilitating the vo-
cationally as well as the physically
handicapped to economic self-support;
training to conserve the morale and
health Of the unemployed; dissemina-
ton of usable information regarding
occupations and employment; co-opera-
ton with other existing agencies in the
placement of unemployed and dispos-
sessed workers, and emergency training
Of workers in new processes and devices.
DR.. Charles A. Prosser of Mime
apolis. pointed out that society's re-
sponsibility is to fit youth for the en-
vironment in which they find them
selves when they get out into the world,
and also the ability to adjust them
selves to changing conditions.
During the conference more than 80
prominent speakers were heard, includ-
ing Senator La Toilette and three men,
bers of the cabinet.

PRESIDENT DELAYS
INDUSTRY POLICY
Recommendation to Con-
gess to Be Withheld Pend
ing Study of Plans.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt will withhold a
recommendation to Congress on pro-
posal fer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pro-
duction and competition control by in
dustry itself until he has examined
the various programs advanced by busi-
ness, labor and congressional leaders.
There appeared today to be every
indication that the Presidents views
coincided with those of Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York, who heads a
committee of Senators and economists
which has agreed on plan Endorsed
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
But the President also is considering
legislation being drafted by special rep
resentatives of labor, headed by Donald
Richberg of Chicago, and other rep
resentatives of industry.
Thus it seemed likely that he would
wait until more general agreement
has been reached by all interested
parties before making a recommended
ton to Congress.
TdTm hcIudiuS LII DUuDL
Whether the new legislation will be
put forward as modification of the 80
hour week bill pending in the House,
or as part of the proposed public works
program remains to be seen.
The public works bill is as much a
part of the whole scheme as control Of
industry 1t is all aimed at overcom-
ing national def1ation, putting men to
ont ntt
raising wages and preventing over
production.
Hearings on the 30-hour work week
bill-a mere drastic rival of the volun-
tary industrial control plan-were
brought to a close yesterday in the
House Labor Committee with a new
plea from Miss Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor, for insertion of mini
mum wage requirement in the legisla-
tion.
She sent up a letter asserting that
not only the lowest wages are raised
by such legislation. but that the high
has been argued by spokesmen for la
bor, who bitterly oppose her plan.
Proportionate Raises Seen,
"The first result to be expected from
an industry by industry minimum" said
her letter, would be levelling up of
unskilled labor rates within the in
dustry to meet the standard firms
There Is a we'll entrenched custom of
paying the skilled worker more than
the unskilled.
Increasing the wage of the unskilled
would, therefore, bring pressure in the
direction of forcing the wage of the
skilled up somewhat in proportion"
The minimum wage law was indorsed
also by Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of
General Motors, who announced to the
committee willingness to accept shorter
work week legislation, but only if thor
oughly changed from the present 30
hour bill AS spokesman of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. he Endorsed changes which
would bring it into line with the pro-
posals of Gerard Swope, president of
General Electric.
This would set up an average of 80
hours week as the normal period of
labor for all kinds of public and private
employment with the exception of ag-
ricultural and domestic workers.

ROOSEVELT CALLS OFF
OVERNIGHT BOAT TRIP

BY the Associated Press.
Bad weather and a number of mat
ters that had to be taken I'D today
