THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1932. *% B—7 B SHORTAGE SEEN ~ INCHCABD RELEF Cook County Alone Needs $26,500,000, Ryerson Bares in Probe. | By the Associated Press An estimate that Cook County alone | would need $26500,000 for relief be- tween October 1, 1931, and September 1, 1932, was laid today by E. L. Ryer- | gon, jr. of Chicago before the Senate Manufactures' Committee | Ryerson, chairman of the Governor's | Commission on Unemployment, _told the committee $13,500,000 from private | funds in the entire State was available | for that source must be secured or many desti- | tute will suffer,” he said Claims 1,100,000 Jobless. | He presented statistics of the State | labor department to show, as of Oc- tober 15 there were 624,000 unemployed in Chicago and Cook County and 42 000 in the other countles of the Sta The total in the State as a whole.’ he said, “is at least 1,100,000. It un- doubtedly has increased since October.” While the hea was under it was learned Unemployment urged by Sena and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America to | extend relief to destitute miners. The Senate Republican leader and | mine workers' president called upon | Walter S. Gifford, chairman of the President’s committee, and left the con- i ference with some hope of action It was explained that the miners, | many of whom have been without work | for months, are not receiving aid from | the American Red Cross. Also, it was stated, the miners live in communi- ties of their own and are therefore un- able to receive help from neighbors. Scattered in Six States. Lewis said the number of unem- ployed miners extended into the thou- sands, principally in the fields of Penn- sylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, West Vir- ginia. Iliinois and Ohio. Earlier this week Lewis appeared - be- fore the Manufactures Committee to ad- vocate direct Federal aid for miners We presented the case of the miners,” said Watson, “and I am hopeful from the statement made to us by Mr. Gif- ford that we will get some action.” C. A. Dykstra, city manager of Cin- | cinnati, told the Manufactures Commit- tee that city's and relief agencies’ funds would be exhausted there by June at the present rate of spending. | Last year; he said, $1,866,000 was spent for “outdoor” or unemployment relief. Monthly expenditures now run around $250,000, and $1,000,000 is in sight for this year At this time, he testified, there are 48,000 unemployed and 40,000 working only part time in his city, and if relief | is given as needed, “at least $2,000,000 will be necessary in 1932."
