,ninfl!lly shy. There are some chill
Iren who insist upon getting atten-

to get it. Such children will do the
MOST ridiculous things, surprising
parents and guests alike, in order to
furce themselves into the limelight.
Then there are children who insist
on mothers attention. Usually this
takes the form of extra caresses, of
climbing in mothers lap and fondling
her, thus making it difficult for her to
carry on conversation. There is
note of jealousy in such exhibitions
of affection. 1t is hard to rebuff q
child who is being thus loving, but a
mother can help child to under
stand that demonstrations are in
poor taste when there are guests,
much as they are welcomed when the
family only are present. i

brings her too much to the fore. An
adult caller often gets child over

much, and too loud, she hops and
dances about excitedly and is a
hindrance to conversation. 1t is not

Winter Unemployment Relief
To Require Billion Dollars
JObless Will Take Beating Unless States Supply Half
of Fund, Federal Relief Administrator Declares
Drop Reported in Number of Families Receiving Aid

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-One
billion dollars must be spent for un-
employment relief next winter, and
the unemployed will "take a beating"
unless the states supply half, Harry
l.. Hopkins, federal relief administra-
tor, declared in talking with report
ers on the relief situation.
Hopkins, who has charge of the
distribution of the federal govern
ment's $5OO,0OO,00O relief fund, ex-
pressed confidence that state and
local agencies would do their share
but he warned those who held back
that federal aid would not be forth
coming.
Declaring the states must match
the federal appropriation, Hopkins
said:
If we don't raise that half billion,
then the unemployed will lose out. I
want the states and cities to raise it
and | think we will get it.

Steel Barons Bar Green From
Wages and Hours Conference
Angered at Organized Labors Success in Striking Com
pany Union Scheme from Their Code, Corporation
Officials Bolt Parley When A. F. of L. President
Appears.

Washington.-The Labor and Ad-
visory Board of the national recovery
administration protested the action OF
President William A. Irwin, of the u.
S. Steel Corporations; President E. g..
Grace, of Bethlehem Steel and other
steel leaders, in declining to meet with
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor and
one of the recovery administrations
labor advisors on the steel code, in a
conference on wages and hours called
by Secretary of Labor Perkins.
At the hearings the steel men de-
manded a 40-hour week, while labor
asked 80 hours. On wages the steel
gentry said from 80 to 40 cents an
hour was high enough for the mini
mum wage, while Mr.. Green and or
ganized labor insisted on 60 cents an
hour fiat.
Meeting with Secretary of Labor
Perkins and officials of the recovery
administration, the steel men abrupt
ly left the room when Mr.. Green ap-
peared.
AS member of the Labor Advisory
Board assigned to the steel code prob
lem, Mr.. Green not only had right
to attend the conference, but it twas
his duty to do so.
At the hearings on the fair COM
petition code, organized labor, led by
Mr.. Green, succeeded in knocking the
company union, which is the pet
scheme of the steel barons for en-
shaving their employees, from the code.
The success of this fight evidently
aroused the deep animosity Of the
anti-union steel men and to show the
deep-seated nature of their enmity for
the workers they bolted the confer
ence rather than discuss hours and

Washington.-Th officers and
members of 48 State Federations of
Labor, 1000 city central bodies, and
10000 local trade unions were called
upon to mobilize their forces for the
complete enforcement of President
Roosevelt's voluntary agreement and
the national recovery act by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Both the voluntary agreement and
the specific fair competition codes
contain important provisions relative
to the maximum length of the work
day and the work week, minimum
wages, employment of child labor,
and various other matters vital to the
e-employment of millions of jobless
and the increase of mass purchas-
ing power, which are the essential
features of the entire recovery pro-
gram.
There is no provision in the re-
covery act for government inspectors
to watch over the enforcement of the
codes. In this contingency it is nee
essary for organized labor to step
into the breach and keep a careful
and thorough check on all who dis
play the NRA insignia to find out
whether they are violating any code
they have signed or the rules and
regulations relative to the display of
the blue eagle.
In his instructions sent to the state
Federations of Labor, city central
bdoies, and local trade unions, Mr..
Green said:
at is highly important that all
who sign either temporary or per-
manent industrial codes and who are
granted the right to use the blue
eagle emblem shall comply with all
the provisions of said industrial codes
and observe both the spirit and the
letter of the industrial recovery law.
at is my opinion that only such
employers of labor and such mer-
chants who observe the provisions of
the blanket and permanent codes
which they sign, providing for mini
mum rates of pay and maximum
hours of work, and who observe Sec
ton z of the industrial recovery act
guaranteeing the workers the right
to organize without discrimination,
are entitled to either use or display
the blue eagle emblem or the insignia
of the national recovery administra-
ton.
"Great dependence must be placed
upon organized labor and it's friends
to see to it that there are no viola
tions of signed temporary or per-
manent codes in the cities and towns
throughout the nation.
"All must be alert and watchful IN
order to prevent the perpetration OF
fraud and the use of the blue eagle
emblem by those who are not entitled
to either display or exploit it.

Green Calls Upon Organized Labor
10 Report All Violations of Codes

Complaints were coming into cam

age, to their piecework pay scale de-
spite the weekly minimum wage set
by the MIRA code.
I'VE are getting more complaints
against that practice right now,'
Googe said, "than against any other
thing, unless it is the stretch-out OF

How Scheme Works
at works this way:
eve will take worker whose min.
imum wage is set at $l2 a week un-
der the MIRA code.
'This week shortage of material OF
machine breakage or some other con-
dition outside his control cuts his out.
put so that he earns only So week
on his piecework scale.
Saturday night he gets his check
for the $12 all right. But next week,
or the week after, he has a good run
and turns out enough work give
him SIS under the piecework scale.
But he doesn't get the SIS. He
gets $12 and slip reminding him
of So advance wage payment some
time before"

said it would be presented to the

administration at Washington.
