'Federation Working
' On Relief Program
| For Lilite MSbers
CINCINNATI, Ohio.—(AP)—A
“two-fold unemployment relief
program” was outlined and recom
raended Monday by President
William Green of the American
T"edercation of Labor, as the organ
ization's convention entered its
second week of sessions here.
Cireen said one phase of the pro
grom concerns immediate reliet,
the other permanent provision foi
the unemployed.
As a “short term” poiicy, Green
explained, the Federation's execu
tive council has recommended ap
propriation for unemployment re
lief by federal and state agencies:
increased development of public
works programs and -the five-day
work week and six-hour day.
In accordance with the council's
“long term” planning, he contin
ued, unemployment insurance ad
ministered “through state agencies
hacked by federal enactments,”
and setting up of a national eco
nomic council likely will be ad
vocated.
“The shorter work week and
work day,” he added, “might well
pe included in the long term plan
ning, too.” It was with various
aspects of _this subject that the
delegates chiefly were concerned
Monday.

Roosevelt Regards
Letters As Guage
Of Public Thought
By WALTER T. BROWN
! ALBANY, N. Y.—(#)—Thousands
|of fetters are piling up at the exe
| cutive mansion while President
elect Roosevelt is in Georgia, some
of them suggesiing how to ran the
‘government, others pointing out
the accomplishments of the writer
‘during the recent campaign and
‘still others seeking jobs.
~ Many of the letter writegs want
‘the governor’'s signature, or his
;‘photograph: information on his
favorite books; the music he likes;
the food he prefers, even the
poems he reads.
Many of the letters are sorted
and classified and forwarded to
'Mr, Roosevelt at Warm Springs.
ISome are answered by the secre.
Itarleu. under the direction of
Guernsey®* T. Cross and James Ma-
Ihoney at the Capitol, and Miss
Grace Tulley at the mansion.
Some of his mail, the bulk of it,
comes to Albany but much goes to
New York and some even to the
, White House. Some of the White
' Houge-addressed letters were given
to him when he called on Tresi
dent Hoover to discuss war debts.
The President-elect, himseif, a
prolific letter writer, is also an
eager letter ‘reader. He has tried
to read. as many of the letters
as possible ‘nd to answer as
many as is humanly possible.
He once said that the pulse of
the people was recorded ‘n the
letters he received. It is certain
that some of the information he
has unsed effectively in statecraft
und politics has come from Iletter
writers, most of thiunknown to
