- A—16 sxw BUSINESS BLAMED FOR LABOR PLIGHT Failure to Share Pick-up With Workers Scored by Hopkins’ Aid. By the Associated Press. Harry L. Hopkins’ “right-hand man” expressed the opinion today that un- less industry “shares increased busi- ness with workers” the unemploy- ment problem will not be solved by a business pick- up. The relief ad- ministrator’s first assistant, Aubrey Williams, de- clared there has been a gain in ‘business, but that, speaking general- ly, it has put comparatively few persons to work. Asked in an in- terview to explain this seeming par- adox, Williams attributed it primarily to increased efficiency, which permits employers to produce more goods than before with fewer men. Sharing Held Necessary. “Unless industry is willing to adopt deliberately a policy of sharing in- creased business with workers,” he said. “there is not much hope of the workers getting anything out of a| business pick-up.” ‘Williams said there had been a drop in the number of persons on relief, but he attributed this largely to a| “hard-boiled” policy under which the rolls were “combed” of ineligibles. “As fast as they go from relief to| Jobs, we get as many new ones on | relief who have exhausted their sav- Aubrey Williams. | rolls to works-progress rolls. ings.” he asserted. ““We have become prmy hard-boiled ! on relief,” he said. “We've reduced e\pcnd tures almost 100 per cent since | June.” He said the “problem of unemplc)- ment today is just as serious as it ever ‘was” despite favorable business indices. Employment Decrease. | “Even the National Industrial Con- ference Board says there is more un- employment now than a year ago,” he said. “Business absorbs new business without increasing employment. They get a dividend out of it, but no new Jjobs are given. We are not feeling any benefit as far as most of our clients are concerned.” Latest figures show total persons on all forms of relief dropped from a | peak of 20,655,512, or 17 per cent of the total population of the United States, to 16,128,163 in July, or 13 per cent of population. The decline has been gradual since March, which showed a little gain over February. While stressing again that most of | this decline was due to a Government weeding of relief rolls, Williams did | say that a gain in employment in the lumber trade and higher farm prices | had helped take a sizeable number off | relief HAZEN ACTS TO END | POLICING CONFUSION | Conference Slated to Work Out Problem of Jurisdiction Over Small Parks. Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen moved today to sweep away confusion | between jurisdiction over hundreds of | small Government reservations and District roads through Federal hold- | ings here, in a proposal for exchange of powers in many cases between metropolitan and park police. | The subject was ciscussed at today’s meeting of the Board of Commission- | ers and Commissioner Hazen plans to lay the suggestion before the office of | National Capital Parks. He suggests | designation of representatives of thex parks office and the District govem- ment to work out details. For this study, he nominates Edward A. Dent, District surveyor, and John Nolen, jr., city planner of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion. Others could be added, he said. When Hazen first assumed office as District Commissioner he voiced hopes of eventual consolidation of the metropolitan and park police, believing | economies and better administration | could be effected. Federal officials in | the past have opposed the praposed merger, explaining that the work of | park police is different from that of metropolitan police. | Mrs. Post Hutton Denies Reports She Is to Marry “One Might Be Allowed to Stay Single,” She Tells Interviewers. By the Associated Press. Mrs. Post Hutton, recently divorced from Edward F. Hutton, uncle of Bar- bara, the Countess Von Reventlow, today voiced a vehement: “One might be allowed to stay single!” She was denying a rumor she would wed Joseph E. Davies, whose wife got & Reno divorce last week. “Mr. Davies,” she said, “is handling & tax case for me, and that's all!” Wedding rumors had started to fly again when it was discovered that Mrs. Hutton was in Washington, reg- istered at the same hotel where Dayies makes his home, rs. Hutton. when asked if a pub- lished rumor she would marry was true, sarcastically asked: “Which of four or five published rumors?” When the matter was narrowed down to Davies, she claimed him as an attorney, but not as a fiance, and expressed impatience at the whole world of rumors.

Her small, alert figure looks well in that orchid and white suit. Holds Fate of Sisters. Her voice is gentle and her blue eyes kind and calm. Perhaps no other woman in the world today has the fate of so many of her sisters in the palm of her hand. Right now she is engaged in setting up a huge sewing room which will employ a great number of these women. They will turn 150,000,000 yards of cotton in the next six months into clothes for unemployables on re- lief rolls. They will work in cities and towns all over the country where relief committees have arranged rooms with begged and borrowed sewing ma- chines. Mrs. Woodward's eyes gleam as she visions her charges shifting from relief “Now they can work, instead of ac- cepting a dole,” she says. “Any one THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Heads Women’s Work-Aid Ellen Woodward Has Responsibility of 310,000 on Shoulders.

Va.? They went from door to door and placed 1,100 penniless women in jobs, and the town is only 60,000 population. “And do you know about my State manager in Missouri?” She laughs mischievously. “She had women working in an overall factory.

He ended by hiring all those women right off the relief rolls. Perhaps, for her own comfort, Mrs. Woodward can see too far into the homes of those without money or jobs. She feels that each plan, if it involves only one of the 310,000, may be the turning point in a hitherto unfortu- nate life. So no letter leaves her office she has not seen. She came to Washington first when her father, William Sullivan, was Sen- ator. Later, at 19, she married a young lawyer and settled in Louisville, Miss. ‘There “Ellie” Woodward took her first big dose of civic work. She planned and talked until the town bought a de- serted, wooded piece of ground and turned it into a park. The husband died, and she ran for D. C, the Mississippi Legislature. She was so effective, the Mississippi State Board of Development hired her away, and finally made her its chairman. On September 1, 1933, she arrived in Washington, She likes the job “even if Mississippl did lose a very cook—particularly cheese omelets.” R MELON HICCOUGHS CAUSE Patient Swears Off When Trouble Returns After Respite.
