The principal speakers of the even ing was George K- Hodge Federal Reemployment Director for Nebras ka; A. L- Foster executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League was unable to attend Mr. Hodges speech was as follows: “Your chairman has allotted me fifteen minutes to discuss the prob lems of reemployment. Therefore I shall devote five minutes each to the past present and the future The Past: Where President Roose velt assumed the duties of his office he was faced with an unemployment problem affecting one third of the population of the nation. An emergency existed and there fore the N. R. A- was created- In signing the act; the President said| that} history would probably regard it as the most important and far reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Cengress. Our President frankly admitted that the program of Recovery could, no© succeed without the whole heart-1 td cooperation of industry of labor and f every citizen of the nation Among the other agencies to help the administration the National Re employment service was established Here are the high spots for Nebras ka- 60000 Nebraskans applied for employment the first of August September firt bought the realization that the Federal Aid Program in Nebraska would not be started in time; to relieve the situation during the winter months. i Through regional meetings with representatives of city and county officials we promoted local projects which provided work for about 15000 people- On November 15 1933 the Ad ministration announced the Civil Works Administration which proved to be a Godsend to Nebraska- 33000 workers have been employed up to this time- It is now the intention to taper the number of C-WS employees ; so that it will lay the way first so ■ that all of the CWA workers will be off the CWA payrolls The Present: There are 124000 | registered applicants for work in Nebraska. There have been 56000 workers placed on temporary and | permanment jobs since the opening ; of our office last August While 124000 are registered we es- j timate the legitimate unemployment; in the state at 60000- One half of ; these needy folks have been working j on CWA projects while an equal : number of needy cases have been standing irouni Relief rolls as of November 16 1933 have been practically cleaned up. However since that time others have foond it necessary to apply for aid until there are know more on re Trinity M- E.

It is my personal opin ion that industry in Nebraska is not speed up to meet this stock- The re employment cases of the fall of 1932 has been postponed to the Spring of 1934. What can be done about it? Here are a few suggestions 1. There must be no further de lay in PWA program 2. Industry will probably be faced with the necessity of working hours so that more people will be hired. 3. In some localities some form of modified CWA will have to be continued. The danger ahead lies in the part that the spirit of wholehearted co operation will be affected by the coming eections- Criticism of politi cians can unarm the confidence of the good achieved to date can be dis counted or betrayed. Only the whole hearted cooperation of every American Citizen can bring about worth while Recovery. I have confidence that even through the clouds gather in the Spring if people will continue to up hold the present administration can great President of those United States will meet the men—if and when it arises.” Mr. William Haynes worker with Mr. Hodges on the reemployment! business says “it was a very good banquet. Also the speeches and en tertainment was very conservative as well as entertaining- Those that were [ not here just missed something.” According to Mr. Black chairman “I’m sure all those present will agree with me that this banquet is some thing that will be a lasting picture . in our minds.” Mr. W- Robert Smalls secretary of the K. C. Urban League says “I am certainly glad to be here on this oc casion- Mr- Parkinson when intro duced to the audience made special "KEEFiiNG UP WITH THE JONESES” Conscientious Wiffins!! i.
