FIRST LADY VOICES
FAITH IN YOUTHS
Calls for Change in Thought
in Fields of Trade and
Politics.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 13.-Mrs. Frank
lin d. Roosevelt yesterday called for "a
fundamental change in our thinking"
in the fields of economics and politics.
Addressing the New York Herald
Tribune's annual women's conference
on current problems, Mrs. Roosevelt
said:
I'VE must begin to think-as citizens
OF America, yes-but also as citizens of
the whole world, and of ourselves in
relation to what the rest of the world
is facing
This change in fundamental thought
must take place in politics, business
ethics. theories of economics and, above
ALL in youths own weakness. before it
can truly say 1t cares more for the
good of the whole country and whole
world tan it does for its own indi-
vidual good
Naturally there are many of our
youths who know hardly anything about
war. and they therefore are interested
in what is martial. But education can
quickly make them realize its true
facts and they will therefore drop it
as a solution of problems.
The problem of today is How can
we use the machine to the advantage
of all, and how can we distribute what
the machine can produce to all of hu-
manity?'
1T is problem of distribution, not
OF production or consumption.
We have too often permitted a
temporary solution. which remained
only until a new emergency forces us
to change fundamentally

Jobless HELPED Win McKees Rocks Steel Strike

nlouSly to accept this agreement.
At the night of the mass meeting,
which was packed to capacity, the
strikers adopted a resolution of
thanks TO the Organized Unen-
ployed--the Councils of McKees
Rocks, etc.-and recognized the fact
that the unemployed had not only
helped-but had won the Strike !
This resolution was adopted amidst
the greatest enthusiasm and cheers
while the members of the Coun-
ellis all sat back with big, broad grinS
from ear to ear.
In the greater struggles now under
way in the steel industry, the organ
lied unemployed will play their role
and help in the struggle for real
wage increases, Shorter hours and for
union recognition-while, on the
other hand, amongst the masses OF
employed steel workers, the conscious
ness must be instilled that they also
have. great role and duty to per-
form in the fight for increased re-
lief and unemployment insurance-at
the expense OF TIE employers and
the government! Thus the unity Of
the working class is being forged in
the fires of sharp class struggled
There is, however, enc great
weakness in the work of the Coun-
ellis in McKees Rocks during the
strike. The Councils failed to Or
ganize one single mass action or DEM
onstration on the specific issues of
the unemployed, such as increased
relief, shoes, clothes for the children,
milk. etc. With the masses stirring,
the struggles could have been broad
ened to deal with the direct Issues
confronting the jobless, and to have
involved the strikers in this mac
action. 1t would have helped cement
the unity of the workers on the direct
economic Issues facing both the en-
ployed-and the unemployed.

BY PHIL FRANKEELD

In McKees Rocks, Pa, the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
was making rapid Roadway in organ
,zipg the 500 workers in the Pressed
Steel Car Co. More than three
quarters of the workers had been or
ganized. The rest we're almost ready
to be organized. The code Of the
Steel Union was hailed by the work
ers inside the plant.
Big mass meetings were being held.
Conditions inside tbs mill were be-
ing discussed, and the workers were
intensely concerned with the prob
lem Of their wages, hours and gen.
eral working conditions.
However, the biggest concern OF
the men was the problem OF ach1ev-
ing recognition of their union and
their own shop committee. Tne
union, knowing and sensing the feel
ings Of the workers, knew that a
strike was inevitable in the Pressed
Steel Car, and was proceeding to
make preparations for this strike.
Company Strategy
The company officials also sen5ed
the mood Of the workers Tney
adopted the strategy Of trying to
force a strike prematurely on the
men. They attempted to demoralize
the ranks of the workers by first
firing the worker who was openly
elected to go to Washington, D. C.,
to represent the workers during the
hearings on the Steel Code. The
immediate response on the part Ct
the workers forced the management
to reinstate this worker.
The company then decided on the
policy of mass dismissals. The work
ers saw and understood. The union
called mass meeting. and it was
unanimously decided to strike The
Plant. A representative c, the Un-
employed Councils pledged the sup

No Federal Funds
Until May 1884,
Says Relief Head
Families in South Get
Less Than SIS a
Month Aid

WASHINGTON, sept. THE
number of families on relief was cut
by 80 per cent in July in comparison
with June, while the relief budget
was sliced by 1913 per cent, according
to a report by Federal Emergency
Relief Ambassador Harry l., Hop
kins. There were 267,6O7 families
dropped during July The admins
traitor pointing to this cut remarked
that "the people in need are not liv-
ing off the fat Of the land through
relief
The federal, state and local gov
ernments spent S59,000,000 for relief
in July, while in the previous month
$66,o00,Oo0 was laid out. Decreases in
relief were made in every state. In
New York State alone the number
was cut from 362,823 families in
June to 349,4 34 in July.
Starvation Relief
Hopkins also disc1oses the figures
showing the average amount Of re-
lief distributed in various states. Ac-
cording to the administrator a stand
ard is set of not less than ten dol
lars month for family to get
along on. While this starvation
minimum is set by him, the figures
show that in the South the amount
distributed is even lower. In Miss
issippi families averaged 1896 a
month, in South Carolina it reached
1851, and in Texas 1888. States with
the highest figures are New York,
5000 a month; Connecticut aver
aged $20.85 and New Jersey, 1896.
With the rise in prices these So
called high figures are far from sat
isfying even the minimum needs of
the families still on relief.
After painting a dark picture of
unemployment relief for the coming
winter, Hopkins has only one sug-
geStion-that is that relief will not
be increased. He states that the
$500,000,000 voted by congress last
Spring must hold out until May, 1884.
