BJ PAUL MAIXON.
WASHINOTON. D. C, Aug. 21.
The FERA announced In a whisper
th other day that 80.000 women
would be put to
work Immediate
ly on 350,000
balea of govern
ment cotton to
make free gov
i eminent m a t -tresses
for the
seedy.
It ha been
working the same
trick from time
to time, making
comforters, bed
linen, clothing,
a h o e s, canned
raul Maiion
fruits, vezetablea and meats.
The unannounced fact la that It
now emoloylnB about a million
neoDle In thl partially eelf-support-
lng work relief scheme. That means
approximately one-tenth of the fed
eral relief problem already la being
handled In this way.
But, what Is more Important, the
Insiders now say. la that these ex
periment have been so successful
they probably will be made the basis
for the coming winter relief pro
gram. Plotters and plannera behind the
FERA are known to have worked
out unofficially a plan for trebling
and possibly quadrupling their ac
tivity In this respect.
It could not become a complete
aubstltute for the CWA dole sys
tem, used last winter and abandoned
(ostensibly but not actually) last
aprlng, but It would cut down meas
urably the amount of money to be
irlert out thla coming winter.
Thin la no dlsnute about the
nncticai wisdom of the thing. The
government has been buying surplus
raw materials and must uj u.
' The unemployed need both work and
finished Droducta. It la practical to
have them work at processing these
raw materials for themseivee.
Nelter Is there any question but
that the experiments have worked
very well when the government made
contracts with tne DiwuiKmi
offering them a portion of the raw
material In exchange for manuiac
tured products. But, when the gov
ernment has gone into tne uuwm.
facturlng business for itself, the re.
aults have not alwaya been satlS'
factorv. Unskilled workers, using
makeshift manufacturing devices.
have turned out deficient work.
But that Is not the reason why
the government has been so shy and
uncommunicative about Its extension
ef this phase of relief.
The truth 1. deep political ha
arda are Involved. For one thing,
It smacks of socialism. It put the
government Into the manufacturing
business. No matter how practical
that may be, the manufacturers do
not like It. They have been raising
outte a howl.
One mattress manufacturer, for In
stance, came charging In here like
. bull when the. government flrat went
Into the mattress business, it nan
arranged with state relief organisa
tion to furnish work rooms and
benches for women. The state peo
pie also went out and borrowed or
rented sewing machlnea. Through
such co-operation they did quite
business.
The Irate manufacturer was quiet
erf temnorarllv at least, when the
tv.ua conducted a survey In hie
horn, town showing how many peo
pi In It were too poor to buy his
mattresses but were sleeping on bur
lap bags and wl.at not. That con
vinced the manufacturer they were
not competing with him. Not all
i manufacturer have been quieted so
easily.
In one atate there Is supposed to
bo an experimental government
clothing manufacturing project un
der way, although you cannot find
out much about It here. 8hoes have
been tried and will be tried azaln.
but that work will have to be allot
ted to shoe manufacturers.
Seversl small canning factories
have been set up, and the work of
making comforters and bed linen out
of cotton aurplua la proceeding rap
Idly by direct action.
The governments heavy purchases
of cattle and hogs will certainly put
It Into the meat buslnesa In a bit
way shortly. This work also un
ouestlonably will be handled under
contract with the private packers.
Th msln nolnt about It all Is
that the forces of necessity and reas
on are driving the government more
or leas reluctantly Into expansion of
thee endeavors, and the expansion
haa only begun.
The Inside move to effect further
economies In governmental opera
tlona thla fall are proceeding no less
energetically for the lack of public
ity about them.
