OTTUMWA, Iowa, September 8 — President Willlam Green of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor proposed yes- terday that President Heover call a nltlonllf confer- ence of employes and employers U consider the indus- trial situation, I 3 Green made the | " recommendation in his Labor day ad- dress at a picnic here. The presidential conference, Green said, should point toward bringing about assurance to working men that they will be pro- vided jobs during the coming Winter. Such assurance, he claimed, would break the psychology which now grips the country and would result in freer spending and use of credit, thereby setting business in motion. He also advised re-examination of the interna- tional debt situation. Tells Program for Future. The leader of organized American labor sald the working man wants not the dole but the assurance of employment. For the present, he advocated dis- tribution of all available work among the millions now unemployed. For the future, he proposed long-time planning of public improvement projects, old age pension laws, regulation of child labor, higher standards of workmen’s compensation laws, better educational opportunities, elimination of competi- tion from convict-made commodities, protection of women in industry, im- proved vocational training and legisla- tion for relief from the injunction in labor disputes. “Labor is appealing for work assur- ance,” sald Green. “American workers abhor the imposition of & dole regard- less of any guise under which it is be- stowed. Seeks Aid for Agriculture. “Labor proposes that these millions of workers who are now idle be per- mitted to share equitably in the amount of work available. This can be made possible through an adjustment of the working day and the working week.” Science and invention, he said, have developed machinery and power by means of which one worker can pro- duce in 34 hours the amount that a few years ago required his work for 52 hours. He declared America is on the threshold of the flve-day work week and shorter working days in industries, both public and private. He estimated that “hundreds of mil- | lions of dollars” will be necessary for | relief work this Winter, and said com- munity, State and Nation would be called on to allay suffering. Green pledged labor’s support to any proposition that would better the con- dition of sagriculture, and concluded with & hope that a turn for the better is not distant.

WASHINGTON, STABILIZATION BILL FOR GOAL S URGED John L. Lewis, Miners’ Head, Says Congress to Get Plea for Action. By the Assoclated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa. September 8.— The United Mine Workers of America w\um- I:l!fl wmlun.mem of the coal s lon proposed by Senator Watson of Indiana, ¢t John L. Lewis, president of ' the mine workers, said yesterday. Lewis, here for a Labor day address, made the statement in an interview. the backing of his organization was not for govern- mental operation or ownership of mines. The Watson pro- posal, he said, pro- strict tion ot theMaaastry on Jlll‘l. Lewis, the ground that coal is & public utility.” The bill was introduced previously, },:‘ee.:m';’ but “the refusal of the Govern- nf convene a conference of coal industry will result in !h‘: fll‘lg: zation of the mine workers” to request the passage of it at the next session. Lewis, in his address, sald, that na- e«:‘x:: prosperity ]:.igemd“ ent on high Tegularity employmen and predicted a conununtloxl of t,h% present economic depression as a result of what he described as “a ruthless as- sault on the wage structure of Ameri- can workers.” “There can be no permanent progress or prosverity until the economic axis of capitalism revolves on & sound basis of an equitable distribution of profits,” he sald. “Profits as a whole must be Jarge enough to enable all human factors engaged in each industry to share the profits gained in sufficient amount to maintain relative purchasing power. “Had this essential basic principle, 80 necessary to the success of indus- trial capitalism, been oberved, droughts, market crashes, mechanization of in- dustry and various other revolutionary ¢l would not have destroyed the purchasing power of the masses. “Plainly speaking, the earning power of the masses has been decreased so far below that necessary to sustain consuming requirements of our produc- tive facilities that our people cannot now earn sufficient money to buy back posperity.” He said the bituminous coal industry was as an outstanding example of wha happens “when a single dustry 1s thrown out of gear with the main forces of industrial enterprise.” Wage cut- ting had reduced the coal workers to semi-serf labor relations, he said, and checked the consumption of products of other industries. “It is the duty of business to pro- vide and promote efficient enterprise for the success of all our population, he sald. “If business leaders fail, the people will undertake the performance on their own responsibility by exercis- ing their voting strength in devising and enlarging the regulatory powers of their Federal and State governments.’ VAAAAAAAAAAAA TONIGHT See This Demonstration of the Famous SILENEATOMATIC administer classification and other per- sonnel legislation, optional retirement | after 30 years' service, abolition of the | average restriction in appropriation | bills, & civil service court of appeals, | standardized annual and sick leave, one | ‘s Test in seven, extra pay for night work and overtime, allowances fo transportation when transfers are or- dered, institution of proper methods of | efficiency ratings; stated promotion in- | tervals, extension of the merit system and other efforts designed to improve | general personnel matters in the Fed- | eral service.

Homesteads Asked In Germany to Aid 100,000 Unemployed| Dietrich Urges Forming of Settlements on Surplus Land. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 8.—A “home- stead” project, which by the end of next year would be expected to enable 100,000 unemployed persons now re- celving support from the public welfare to provide for themselves, was submit- ted to the cabinet yesterday by Finance Minister Hermann Dietrich. The finance minister proposed the construction of “Siedlungen,” or settle- ments, which would be situated near the cities on land turned over by the states and municipalities. The building materials for these “Siedlungen” would be supplied by the government, the wood, for instance, to be taken from the federal forest preserves. One condition of ownership would be that the tenant himself would help build his home, with the assistance of others of the unemployed, who would get the “dole” and food in return for thelr services. ‘The tenant would get an option for TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, the future purchase of the house and an adjacent two acres of land. It is| cxpected the first group of 100,000 tenant farmers would be independent by harvest time in 1932. \ e WASHINGTON'S FINEST Winter Hanan Shoes retain their hand - lasted shoes. $]1250 AND UP The New Models for Fall tell you very quickly that America's finest 1931. MORRISON BLAMES CRISIS ON CAPITAL Labor’s Plan for Job Relief Spurned by Employers, A. F. L. Official Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, BSeptember 8.—Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, agid yesterday that America’s unemployment problem might have been mastered long ago if capital had adopted the suggestions made by labor 11 months ago. Speaking at the Chicago Federation of Labor's celebration of Labor day, Morrison said he estimated that a total cf 6,000,000 were unemployed, which meant, he ‘said, at least 30,000,000 persons, Or ap- proximately one- fourth of the pop- ulation of this Na- tion, are not con- tinually assured of food and shelter. “We should not boast of our coun- try as a land of prosperity and op- portunity,” Morri- son said, “under these conditions that offer such fertile field for a discontent that is based on despair. ““Workers are be- coming realists. They no longer accept the doctrine that man is not responsi- ble for these conditions. Frank Morrison. “What have the National Association | of Manufacturers or the Chamber of Commerce of the United States done or suggested to help reduce unemploy- ment? Neither of these organjzations of employers has presented a single remedy for unemployment.” Labor, on the other hand, adopted a comprehensive program at its Boston convention last year, Morrison said, which, “if it had been heeded, would have relieved the unemployment condi- tions existing at that time and avoided the tragic situation which millions of our people are facing today and must meet this coming Winter.” Morrison then detailed the recom- mendations of the Boston meeting, which included suggestions for a six- MEN'S WEAR STORE e HANA and , 1931-32 are destined to fame as Washington Representatives RALEIGH HABERDASHER 1310 F Street First real vacation in years |City worker enjoys 'holiday free from { usual drawback | O YOU know how this man used to spend his vacation? | Believing he should get a complete change, he'd pick out some nice place in the mountains.
