NRA AIMS ARE TOLD Young Democrats Get A Rousing Talk. BALTIMORE, April 13. Asserting that the era of "social pioneering is only at its beginning," President Roosevelt Monday night promised new consideration by his administration of a shorter work week, "adequate" minimum wages and a stabilization of annual employment. Directly, the chief executive pledged himself to aims that once were those of the NRA before it was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court.

In a nationally broadcast speech before the Young Democratic club of Maryland, which was preceded by a torchlight parade and other political fanfare, he hinted, however, at a new line of attack upon the unemployment problem. "Jobless Cut Is Aim" In the form of a question, Mr. Roosevelt suggested that a deep dent could be made in the army of jobless by limiting employment to thos over 18 and under 65 years of age. To that he added this indirect "Industry can contribute in a great measure to the increase of employment if industry as a whole wiU undertake reasonable reductions of hours per work week, while, at the sam time, it keeps the average individual's pay envelope at least as larga as it is today." Addressing himself directly to the youth of the nation, the president, at this outset of his campaign for reelection, gave no direct word as to whether he would seek his NRA goals through legislative or only adminis- Production Outstrips Job In advancing his new suggestion for an age limit on workers, Mr. Roosevelt posed the problem by asserting that the total production of the nation was about back to the high point before the depression, but that only 80 percent as many human beings are engaged in turning out that "We cannot legislate against greater witn WIRE UPHOLDS sibly for the purpose of receiving bids 20,000 worth of furniture and BUREAU MOVE SEEN IN PLANS fifth floor of the Skirvin Tower.

"Our working population increases every year, both because of population increase and because more and more women are working for wages. That is as it should be.

Work out for yourselves what would hapcen if all the boys and all the girls of 14 and IS and 16 and 17. who are now working in industry, found it possible to stay In school until they were at least 18 years old. "How many Jobs would that give to the young people of the nation who have graduated from highschool and from college? And how much better equipped these youngsters who are now at work if they could stay in school to the completion of their education? In the same way, ask yourselves how many jobs would be created if the great majority of people who are now over 65 to take a figure at random were in a position to retire in security for the balance of their days on earth. And how much greater happiness would such security give to their Shorter Work Week Urged Mr. Roosevelt, in talking directly to the gathering of national Democratic leaders assembled with the younir.

Democratic clubs in the huge Fifth Regiment armory here one of a number of Jefferson birthday celebrations left the question for consideration. Turning to the subject or the shorter work week, he cited an Instance where a certain industry under the national recovery act reduced working hours to an average of 36.4 per week. He said that since NRA some members of this industry had increased working hours so that the average for the industry is now 39.9 hours per week. "Not a serious difference you say," he added, "and yet if you figure it out on the assumption that there were 166,500 men and women in this industry, 10 percent of 16,650 peopl have either lost their jobs or. by working longer hours, are preventing 16,650 other people from getting employment.
