Subject: F.E.R.A. Figures on Unemployment in Building Trades, etc•

In a memorandum that I sent to you last week
about the relief bill, I referred to some figures on
unemployment that I had been told Mr. Hopkins took
with him when he accompanied the President to Florida.
That therems such a set of figures, and that they
showed the number of building-trades workers on relief to be considerably smaller than they are generally
supposed to be, is borne out by the attached clipping
from Paul Mallon!s article in the Washington Star of
Saturday evening. It is evident that Mr. Mallon has
got his figures directly from F.E.R.A.
