LBOR CONFERENE CALLED ARG 3 Secretary Perkins Issues Summons for Jobless Aid at Roosevelt -Request. By the Associated Press. At the request of President Roose- velt, Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins yesterday issued invitations to a number of labor leaders and others in- terested to a conference on unemploy- ment_relief measures to be held here March 31. The list of more than 30 officials of labor groups invited to the conference was headed by the name of William Green, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, who expressed dis- appointment at the selection of Miss Perkins as a cabinet member. Willing to Attend. Green said yesterday that he had not received Miss Perkins’ invitation ‘but said that he would “undoubtedly be willing to attend.” Miss Perkins, in announcing her conference, said it was her feeling that “in the immediate emergency cer- tain items ought to be developed as the point of view of labor.” A program of permanent improve- ment of labor and industrial standards should also be considered as possible guides to legislation and to standard practice, she added. She therefore mapped out a two- part conference. To be considered under ‘“emergency items” are: Unemployment relief measures; a program of public works; short hours as a means of furthering employment; how to increase purchas- ing power of the wage earners; un- employment insurance; home mortgage problems of wage earners and unem- ployed, along with a canvass of pos-| sibilities of reabsorbing labor into its normal employmenta. Declaring “there is grave danger lest the depression and unemployment may have caused a lowering of industrial standards which will be felt for years to come,” Miss Perkins outlined under “permanent improvement” the formula- tion of a program “to assure a progres- sive rise in standards when industrial revival begins to take place.” Study Also Asked. She also asked a study of labor's relation to industrial reconstruction, the extent of shrinkage of capitaliza- tion in basic industries, provision for old age and preventicn of child labor, and arrangements for employment ex- changes. In the fleld of developing higher standards, she specified such subjects as accident prevention, compensation laws, sanitation, and methods of labor representation and settling disputes. Among the American Federaticn of Labor officials invited, besides President Green, were John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers; Frank Duffy, Indianapolis; T. A. Rickert, Chi- cago; Mathew Woll, John Coefleld, G. N. Bugniazet and Frank Morrison, all of Washingtcn; James Wilson, Cincin- nati; Joseph N. Weber, New York, and Martin F. Ryan, Kan-as City. From other labor groups the follow- ing officials were among those asked to confer: A. F. Whitney, president of | the Association of Rallway bor | Executives; Charles P. Howard, presi- dent of the International Typographical TUnion, and Rose Schneiderman, presi- dent of the National Women's Trade Union League. e THREE PLAY SSCHEDULED| Bidwells’ Friends School Enter- tainment Tomorrow Night.
