A)to reduce the judges' huge workload

Roosevelt announced he wanted to add more judges to the Supreme Court to make it more efficient. He stated there were not enough judges to make informed decisions.

Roosevelt's opposition claimed he was trying to "pack" the court with liberals to protect his New Deal programs. Though this may have been true, it was not the message Roosevelt provided to the public. The public message was that the Court had become inefficient and unable to rule on judgments effectively so new judges were needed as well as replacing those that could retire.

according to the quotation from booker t. washington's 1895 atlanta compromise speech.

in the great leap from slavery to freedom . . the masses of us are to live by the production of our hands . . we shall prosper . . as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor.

washington believed that  hard work had its own kind of dignity.
