I knew they could be done and I wanted to do them. I didn't feel that I had tidied up. I wanted to do that. I just loved every bit of it. I liked every dirty claimant that came in. I had my factory inspectors all organized in a relationship of friendship and mutual cooperation that was excellent. I wore myself out traveling around the country to go out with them on inspections, and have meetings of the factory inspectors in different localities so they wouldn't feel away from the central office, making them feel that they would be embraced in the general pattern.

I was even very, very fond of the people who operated the Associated Industries. We had become acquainted. Whereas they had disliked me at one time, they now thought well of me. We cooperated. I was always invited to their annual meeting to make a little speech at either their dinner or their meeting. I liked that. There were a group among them that I had selected out as being superior people. I conferred with them about a great many things - not only about unemployment, but about matters of prevention of certain types of accidents, such as the silicosis problem. I had a group of New York State industrialists all of whom had the silica exposure hazard in their operations. We worked on technical problems and other things. We enjoyed each other. I liked them and they liked me.
