Plan for idle relief centers on city committees
A New York Evening Post dispatch from Washington outlines a forthcoming unemployment relief plan. City by city committees, led by mayors, businessmen, labor leaders, and charities, will register and classify unemployed into three groups for immediate work, potential aid, or charity. The approach mirrors wartime food administration, stressing decentralization and local responsibility while awaiting emergency relief execution. The conference will also address Europe’s economic impact and potential winter conditions, with labor and capital relations discussed later.
