(Associated Press Photo) PRODUCTION BOOST SOUGHT 10 COMBAT JOBLESS INCREASE Green Seeks Federal Action to Have All Industry Join-in Movement Washington, Oct. 29.— (>) —The American Federation of Labor pursued new tactics Monday in its fight on an unemployment problem which it says is growing in severity. Without mentioning the 30-hour week, President William Green issued a statement seeking federal action to have all industry join in a huge and simultaneous effort to increase pro- duction by 30 per cent. Declaring there were 843,000 more’ jobless last month than in September, 1933, Green said: < “If the nation-wide level of all pro- duction were lifted 30 per cent in a balanced program, adjusting produc- tion to consumption needs, each indus- try would then be assured that all other industries would increase their tion, and the wealth produced by putting labor to work would create income to buy the product of all.” Gains Over Seasonal Though noting that “: sea- sonal gains in employment appeared in September and carried into the first part of October, Green said: “For the first time since the presi- dent’s re-employment program start- ed in Jufy, 1933, unemployment has. exceeded last year's level. The total number at work in the United States ‘was 39,746,000 in September, 1933; by oral 1934, it had declined to 39,- “During these 12 months the nor- mal increase in population has added close to 450,000 to the army of job-seekers for whom indus- try provides no work. Thus the num- ber without work in industry has risen from 10,108,000 in September, 1933, to 10,951,000 in September, 1934. Green also was concerned Monday with labor’s differences with the At- lantic & Pacific Tea Co. which caused the company to close its 300 stores in Cleveland. The chain's unionized butchers were called out in Milwaukee, where meat departments have been closed in 26 of 38 stores. The company says they were unprofitable; the union blames. labor trouble. Butchers of two small- er chains also were ordered to strike by the union. Commission merchants planned to move produce despite a truck drivers’ strike.

CALL CONFERENCES 10 ALLOCATE FUND FOR TEACHERS’ PAY Thompson Schedules Meetings of Educators at Four Cen- tral Points First steps toward distribution of; salaries to North Dakota teachers from federal funds were taken Mon- day by Arthur E.

Technique of the salary payments will be outlined by Thompson at the conference with the 52 county school superintendents. The federal government announced its intention of paying teachers’ sal- aries in North Dakota in rural dis- tricts for the next three months, in @ statement issued Friday. Affected by the announcement are districts not having cities of 5,000 or more popu- lation, and in which financial re- sources are exhausted. Both elemen- tary and high schools will be aided. Statistical forms, from which data will be drawn to determin eligible districts, will be discussed by Thomp- son and the county superintendents at the series of conferences.

D., Oct. 20.—(P)— First steps in rehabilitation of North Dakotans who have “lost everything” are being taken through formation of @ new corporation whose activities will reach far into the future, E.

Willson, state federal relief adminis- trator told the conference of social. workers here Monday. ‘Willson outlined the organization of| the new rural rehabilitation ation, and drew @ picture of the divis- ion of its future activities. He forecast the possibility the new corporation “may become the state agency through which all relief ac- tivities of state-wide character are handled. “The rural rehabilitation corpora: tion is a perpetual organization,” he explained, “and will continue to func- tion many years after the federal em- ergency relief administration is for- gotten.” Reveais Working Pian How the new corporation will work, what it will bring to those seeking funds with which to recover from the He termed the task of rehabilitation “bigger than providing relief at the Present time.” “A big job is confronting the feder- al emergency relief administration in North Dakota,” than: providing relief at the present time.
