By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, November 9.— An-| drew W. Mellon, Secretary of the| Treasury, spoke here yesterday at a mass meeting sponsored by the | churches of Pittsburgh in the interest | of the campaign to raise funds for the | relief of unemployed and needy. | Mr. Mellon lauded particularly the so-called “Pittsburgh plan” for the mitigation of unemployment. Under this plan, which operated here last Winter and is being attempted again this year, persons in a position finan- clally to do so contribute money for | public improvements to be carried out | by those who otherwise would be lun- | employed. | Materials and supervision for the improvements are furnished by the | municipality. The plan is independent | of the usual “welfare fund” for the | relief of the needy. The Pittsburgh plan, Mr. Mellon said, “confers a double benefit on the com- munity, for it not only makes possible needed improvements and provides em- ployment but at .the same time helps to maintain that self-respect which is s0 essential if people who are able and willing to work are to be spared the Roses and one of Cowan’s designed Vases.
