JOBS FOR MILLION IN FIVE INDUSTRIES, ASSERTS GREEN

SHORTER HOURS PLAN KEY TO WHOLE PROBLEM, HE SAYS; DOAK LAUDS WORKINGMAN

Labor Head Insists Plants Can Shorten Either Week or Day. ASSAILS ROAD WAGES Charges Effort Is Being Made to Liquidate Workers’ Unions. RY WILLIAM GREEN President. American Federation of Labor. (Written for the United Press) Labor day offers an opportunity to appeal to the employers of the nation to direct their efforts in a special way to the relief of unemployment. There are five industries alone in the United States that could put at least a million men an 4 women to work. This can be accomplished by a reftdjustmeut of the working time, either in a shortening of the work week, or a reduction in hours of the work day. If all industries would adopt this policy there would be a gradual decrease in the number of unemployed. The Five Industries There are 2,371,157 separate and distinct establishments in these five industries, according to the census bureau. The number of different establishments in the five industries are: Retail stores 1,540,426 Wholesale store* 569,888 Manufacturing plants producing products of over $5,000 210,710 Construction Contractors doing Business of $25,000 or over 34,724 Electric Companies (railroads and telegraph) .... 6,400 TOTAL 2,371,157 If one million idle men are given employment by these industries before Nov. 1, it will not be long before another million are at work. From that time on employment will increase amazingly. While much is said of the large numbers employed on good roads the wages paid, from 10 to 30 cents an hour for common labor by the majority of contractors, are barely sufficient to keep body and soul together. After a minimum of the necessaries of life,, they have nothing left to buy those things that will aid in giving others employment. Fart Time Workers In all statistics for wage cuts, these part time workers are included. The object of this is to encourage as many employers as possible to reduce wage rates. In 1920, deflation gave up 6,000,000 unemployed. Two of the objects w'ere to deflate the farmer and labor. The farmer proved a victim, but labor maintained the policy of fighting wage reductions. The unions were successful in maintaining wage rates. The effort now being made by those who are hidden from sight is to try again to liquidate labor. Organized labor will fight as it never fought before against this proposal. It is in the hands of the employers of the country and their financial backers to remedy the present deplorable situation.

U. S. Bending Every Effort to Aid Situation, Is Secretary’s Message. PRAISES WAGE EARNERS 'Real Builders of Our Nation,’ Declares Member of Cabinet. By W. N. DOAK United State* Secretary of Labor. (Written for United Pres*) The nation pauses today to celebrate the achievement of labor and to take counsel on the problems afTecting our people in this period of unprecedented world depression through which we are passing with less suffering than any other industrial nation on earth. On this Labor day we renew the pledge of earnest progress in the well being of all those who labor for the continued progress of our great country. Set Aside as Honor More than forty-four years ago Labor day was set aside as a mark' of honor and respect for the country’s workers, and despite the changing evolutions which natural events have brought about from time to time as the result of scientific production, world influences, and other causes affecting labor and employment, there is a greater inspiration and satisfaction today than ever before in paying tribute to those whose heads and hands have wrought such a contribution to the needs of mankind the world over. Our wage earners and the employers with whom they so heartily co-operate are th e real builders of our success as a nation. It is now a fixed policy that there can be no lasting prosperity which does not include those who labor. Reorganized Service Consequently, the administration is bending every endeavor to place the resources of the nation at the disposal of our eligible gainfullyemployed. The United States Employment Service has recently been reorganized and expanded so as to give, in co-operation with state and municipal employment agencies, a greater service to our war veterans and all others who seek or need work. We earnestly are striving to maintain wages and working conditions the country over, in order to preserve the buying-power of our workers, which, in itself, is one of the foundation stones of our economic welfare. We are restricting immigration so as to leave more free for our nativeborn and those from other lands already here the available opportunities for employment, and we are guarding zealously the welfare of the home-makers and the youth of our nation so that they may better serve the greatest usefulness at the appropriate time and in the proper manner.

The last ballot will be printed in Wednesday’s edition of The Times. The winner will be announced in Thursday’s edition. All ballots are due in the office of the Browm Derby editor not later than 9 a. m. Thursday. Then at 8 p. m.

Black Card By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7. —Alfred Warner, 55, trembled as he looked at *his pinochle draw. It was within one card of a “perfect hand.” With spades as trumps, he held two aces of spades, two kings, two queens and one jack, and two tens. If he drew the jack of spades he would have the rare hand worth 1,500 points. He drew a card, glanced at it and slumped in his chair. Warner had drawn the jack of spades.

PLANE DIVE KILLS TRIO Pilot, Two Young Sisters, Perish as Ship’s Motor Fails. By United Press SANTA CRUZ, Cal., Sept. 7. Failure of the moto/ in a heavy seaplane was blamed today for an accident that carried a pilot and two young sisters to their death in Monterey bay here Sunday. The plane, piloted by George H. Robertson, 22, of Berkeley, stalled as he banked it for a landing and went into a nosedive. Thousands of pleasure-seekers on the beach saw it plunge into the water, killing Robertson and his passengers, Annette Keiser, 16, and Catherine Keiser, 11, of Sanger. Labor Must Rule, Is Keynote By United Press BRISTOL, England, Sept. 7. Labor must govern financiers or be governed by them, President Arthur Hayday said today at the opening session of the annual conference of the trades union congress.

A threat was voiced, Sommerfield said, by one of his three captors, because another had hesitated at taking part in the kidnaping. Turning detective, Sommer - fleld picked up a handful of soil near a deserted farmhouse where he was held for a few days, hopeful that it might afford clews to location of the building, to which he was removed blindfolded. The sod is such as tfcat on which mint is grown and the aged man recalls there was a mint odor at the* house.

ALFALFA BILL MAKES ‘BREAD’ HIS BATTLE CRY 'Food Instead of Beer’ Is Needed, He Tells Labor at Chicago. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Labor, in a bib and tucker grayed by adverse times, celebrated Labor day with more vigor than enthusiasm. Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma, here in his “work clothes” to fit his battle cry of “bread and butter instead of beer” to the tune of a speech under the auspices of the American Federation of Labor at Soldier field, was the chief drawing card. Down Michigan avenue moved a parade of union men, some employed and some ready to step out of line at/the first offer of a job. They were en route, past the towering Lake Shore skyline banked with thousands of onlookers, for Soldier field, to hear “Alflfa Bill” speak his piece on how prosperity can be coaxed back again and to listen to addresses by other representatives of the labor movement. IReady for a Fight On the program, besides Murray, were Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, and former Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky. Their addresses rang with phrases congratulating the federation on its fiftieth anniversary—the golden jubilee of trade unionism in America. Murray, whose bewhiskered portrait has been shunted into the gallery of presidential possibilities by his picturesque onslaught against economic and political problems, was met by a large delegation on his arrival Sunday. After explaining that he had unbuttoned his galluses “to be more comfortable on the train,” Murray shook hands all around and announced that “the greatest fighter for the common people since Andrew Jackson” was ready to forward his sole ambition “to serve the people and accomplish things.” “Were I to become a candidate for the presidency,” said Murray, “the most vitriolic attack ever known in American politics would be turned loose against me. Therefore, unless I am convinced that the people intend, in 1932, to nominate the President, instead of the politicians doing it, I shall not desire such a tinging reward for my ambition.” “Where’s AI Capone?” The catchword of his talk, which Murray said would be extemporaneous, was “bread and butter, bacon and beans.” He said he “allowed as how no Chicago banker could find anything unsound about that.” Escorted to his hotel, Murray unfolded his lengthy frame into a soft chair, lit a cigar, and asked, “Well, where is Al Capone?” The Governor’s gray coat was crumpled, his tan trousers were wrinkled, and his faded purple necktie was askew. None the less, his advent was watched by hundreds and his words were copied down by a score newspaper men. “Clothes don’t worry me much,” he said. “I’m more interested in getting jobs for laboring men and getting a fair price for oil for the oil men.”

EGYPTIAN IS GYPPED Pays $720 in Chicago for Penny-Flipping Lesson. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Matching pennies is costly divertissement in Chicago. Albert Glattfelder, official of the Semiramis hotel, Cairo Egypt, was convinced on that point today. Antics of two men in front of the Wrigley tower fascinated the visitor from Egypt. He watched them toss pennies at a crack in the sidewalk for a while. “You can play, too.” said one of the pitchers. Glattflelder joined. He agreed to wager his $720 in checks against S7OO in money. One of the penny pitchers held stakes. “But it wouldn’t be fair for you, a beginner, to pitch against an experienced man,” said the stakeholder, handing back the envelope Glattfelder just had proffered. Glattfelder, impressed by the Chicagoans’ “sense of fair play,” walked away. A block down the street he opened the envelope. His checks were gone.

men, and they also were able to trace a portion of the crusades of charity which the Knights made through the countryside south of Paris. Records show that De Molay, after having been ordered to divulge the secret story, was taken to the Parvis of Notre Dame, where he was to make public the secrets. There he stood mute, and his torturers, in anger, dragged him the short distance to the point of the island, where he was burned. The mission found a place which will hereafter be revered in Masonic tradition as the spot of the burning. It will remain unmarked, but the American Masonic lodge in France, under James G. Conner, will make annual pilgrimages to the spot on the anniversary of the burning, March 13, 1314.

BRITAIN ENTERS CRITICAL WEEK IN LEGISLATION Parliament Opens on Tuesday; Budget Measures to Be Rushed Through. By United Press LONDON, Sept. 7.—Britain’s national government entered a critical week today during which its plans for financial restoration will be revealed to an expectant world. The federal structure committee’ of the second round table conference on Indian affairs was to meet at St. James palace this afternoon and will adjourn after a brief session to await the arrival next week of other Indian delegates, including the Mahatma Gandhi. Thus, the week’s affairs can be' given exclusively to rushing through parliament, which convenes Tuesday, emergency measures aimed to balance the budget. Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer, arrived here today, closely guarding the secrets with which he will increase British revenue.
