PRESIDENT FAvORS
SHORT WEEK IDEA
Urges That Definite Limit Be
Left Out for Sake of
Elasticity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt looks favorably
upon the principles of the Black 80
hour-week bill passed by the Senate,
but believes considerable elasticity in
its provisions will be required for suit
able administration, 1t was learned to-
day.
This elasticity would eliminate a
definite limitation fixing 30 hours as
the working week.
The President, who has discussed the
legislation with his aides, likes the
principle OF spreading employment
among as large a number of people as
possible. He also wants to prevent
any one individual working too many
hours at time
He Is considering ways by which the
Government might foster the spread of
work in given industry over the whole
industry and prevent the concentration
in one or two units Of the industry.
Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of
Labor. said today after two-hour ses-
sion with the House Labor Committee
that she thought legislation for a
shorter work week can be produced
at this session"
The committee asked Miss Perkins
to put some OF her suggestions into
written form. She agreed, explaining
later that these would be provisions
to make the bill enforcible and to give
some elasticity in enforcement"
Miss Perkins indicated that questions
OF minimum wage provision and the
length OF working hours may be COW
cred in her suggestions.
Meanwhile. Representative Crosser,
Democrat, Of Ohio. laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt his proposal for a con-
stitutional amendment authorizing
Congress to reduce the hours of work
in industry.

FORESTRY RANKS
HERE ARE SWELLED
Districts Quota of 500 Ex-
pected to Be Filled in
Several Days.

Recruiting of Washington's quota OF
500 for the forestry army was moving
rapidly today.
Recent college graduates and laborers
were rubbing elbows in the crowded
Army recruiting station opposite the old
Ford Theater on Tenth street. -Four
were waiting at the door when the
station opened this morning and were
sent down to Fort Washington on the
first boat.
The squirt comes with clarification of
the requirements which. rigidly inter-
preted by social workers, have kept
recruiting almost at minimum until
today. Enlistment has been especially
slow IN Washington, to the surprise OF
those who knew of hundreds of jobless
men within the age limits who pre-
sumably would welcome such an oppor-
tunity The lag, however. has not
been due to the unwillingness of these
men themselves to face Summer of
hard work, but to the necessarily slow
progress Of the machinery set up by the
relief agencies, 1t is declared.
107 In Training.
Late yesterday So men were sent to
Fort Washington, making a total of 107
from the District who will receive their
preliminary training at the Maryland
post From the rate at which recruits
we're going through this morning Army
recruiting officers expect to send at least
100 more before dark. This Is about the
pace that was expected the first two OF

successor.
The New Yorker informed the Pres

private business.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked him to remain

The resignation Of Meyer was de-

but to represent desire on the part
OF the New Yorker to permit the Presi-
