President Warns Business
to Aid Employment

CALLING from Charleston aboard
- the cruiser Indianapolis for
Buenos Aires and the Pan-American
peace conference, President Roose-
welt directed the release of state
ment in which he announced that
the government will continue to
spend money on work relief pro-
gram until July 1, 1888 at least. 1t
is estimated that congress will be
asked to appropriate as much as
ST SOC, 900, 900 for relief in the next
session.
Although he protested himself
gratifed at the inroads upon unem-
ployment by industry, the President
commented upon the fact that pri-
vate business has not yet absorbed
vast masses of the unemployed and
that millions of persons remain on
the Works Progress administration
pay roll and other governmental
agencies.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared it was
widely known" that many of the
largest industries will not hire work.
ers over forty years of age. To a
large extent, he charged, this policy
is responsible for the relatively
large number of older workers on
relief. And industry must expand
opportunities for the hiring of I'M
skilled workers, he said.
The mayors of the United States,
in annual conference in Washington,
were gratified by assurances from
both Harold Ickes, head of the
PWA, and Harry Hopkins, head of
the WPA, that the administration
will not cease its spending efforts
to keep alive the emergency or
carnations intended to deal with
the unemployment problem.

said the report, "does not propose
sudden and instantaneous stoppage.
Those gradual steps should be taken
which are always essential when adj
iustments have to be made upon a
considerable scale.
''There is at present danger that,
ceasing to have work for unem-
ployed persons as it's function, this
activity will undertake to replace
some of the functions of private en-
terprise in advancing recovery.
There can be no substitute for pri-
vate enterprise in the development
of improved economic conditions"
These five general conclusions
from it's study were set forth by
the committee:
Experience has demonstrated the
difficulty of attempting to obtain &C
curate figures on unemployment
through census methods.
Estimates of unemployment on
national basis are necessarily mac
curate and lend themselves to exag-
geration.
Projects of work relief should not
be allowed to take the place in any
degree of established agencies for
performance of government func-
tions.
Projects of work relief should not
be permitted to compete in any de-
gree with private enterprise for
workers, skilled or unskilled, and
should be so conducted as to en-
courage workers to seek private
employment.
It is evident that further advance
in business activities will require
the services in private enterprise of
persons now on work relief at pub
lie expense.

Labor Wants More Money
for La Toilette INQUIRY

XX7HILE it was figuring what to
w do in the matter of the sus-
pended C. I. o. unions, the Ameri-

of other topics. Among these was
the adoption of report of the COM

congress additional appropriations
for the special senatorial sub-com-
mittee investigating violations of
civil liberties. This group, headed
by La Toilette of Wisconsin, has
confined its Investigations almost
wholly to activities of employers in
combating unions or in protecting
their plants against mob violence
during strikes. A large part of the
testimony taken has concerned

The report said: millions of dol

Eat between neals-it's good for
your health
That is the recommendation of
DR.. H. W. Haggard, Yale University
psychologist. For ten years DR.. Hag-
gard has been feeding industrial
workers between-meal lunches In
which milk was the major food item.
He found that workers who ate fire.
quently during the work day work
ed more and with greater enthus-
iasm and less fatigue than those who
did not partake of such lunches.
milk is an especially good be-
tween-meal food" said the Yale
professor at the recent Dairy In
dustry convention. I'VE have, in all
our Feeding experiments, supplied
milk. It's advantages for our purpose
are its standardized uniformity, the
ease with which it can be served,
the fact that it is generally liked,
and the willingness with which 1t is
used because the publicity given to
it has resulted in the belief that it
is good for one"
His interest in reviving exhausted
athletes by injecting sugar into their
blood started DR.. Haggard upon the
broader study of supplementary
feeding. He evolved the principle of
proper feeding to prevent the col
lapsing of football players and
sprinters and then applied the prin-
ciple to industry to prevent fatigue
and increase efficiency among fac
tory workers.
DR.. Haggard set up his laboratory
in a large rubber plant manufactur-
ing tennis shoes. He measured mus
cular efficiency in terms Of shoes
sewed under different dietary con-
ditions.
He found that workers given milk
and cake between meals actually
were able to sew more shoes per
hour than those who didn't eat as
much. When the feedings were stop
ned efficiency diminished.
