Washington, Sept 80. Formulation
of an emergency program designed
to effect the immediate relief Of tho

from 3,500.0O0- to $4,000 persons
was completed today by the National
conference on Unemployment " tn the

mended by committees.
The conference then adjourned until
October 10 when II VIII consider a
permanent unemployment policy and
suggestions for the return of business
and commerce to normal. Meanwhile
its committees WI work on details OF
these subjects.
The conference found that the talk
of meeting the unemployment emer'
gency was principally community
one with the responsibility OF leader
ship and its solution rest 'ng on the
mayors. Federal, state, and munich
pal aid however. was urged Particu.
lar reference was made by the con.
ference to the connection between
prices and the solution of the coun-
try's economic question
During the per cd Of drastic eco
nomic readjustment through which
we are now passing, the emergency
program said. the continued efforts
of anyone to profit beyond the re
quirements of safe business practice
or economic consistency should be
condemned. One of the important OBJ
stacles to a resumption of normal
nus ness activity viii be removed as
prices reach replacement values in
terms of efficient producing and dis.
