Clifford. however, is on the right track

been much greater.
Mr.. Green said that many of the
unemployed, who were able tc help
themselves last Winter, would find
their savings and resources exhausted

He reiterated his demand for Presi-
dent Hoover to call conference OF
employers and employees to work out a
program for creating employment. The
labor leader also said he did not be-

session Of Congress to deal with unen-
ployment but explained that he had
not learned Mr. Hoover's decision to-
ward the proposed conference
Mr. Clifford declined to comment on
Mr. Green's views or his estimate on
unemployment. In fact. the national
relief director said he would not have
ANYTHING to say on any phase OF his
relief work until he has thoroughly
familiarized himself with the situation.
Meantime, his associates in the less

were concentrating their efforts on the
campaign for relief of distress this

this was a normal development for Au-

estimated that there we're 100000 un-

St. Louis Has Explosion.

CHICAGO, August % (P1.-Three
theaters. whose owners recently substi-
tuted Eastern motion picture operators
for those OF the local union, were
bombed shortly after midnight today.
One Of the BOMBS exploded at the
rear of the Ridge Theater and caused
slight injuries to two small children
who were thrown from their beds in a
department building across the alley.
The manager of the theater, Harold L.
Lasker, estimated the damage at 1000,
saying that a delicate sound machine
near the stage had been damaged.
At the second theater, the Olympia,
ON the South Side, more than a dozen
windows were broken in the adjacent
University of Chicago settlement house,
showering sleeping occupants with glass
This theater was owned by Aaron E.
Saperstein, president Of the Independent
Theater owners Association, who was
directing negotiations with the local
motion picture operators union.
Third Damage $1,000.
The third house was the Ray Thester,
where damage to the sound equipment
on the stage and to the interior of
the auditorium was estimated at So 900
by the proprietor.
Immediately after the explosions as
sistants of States Attorney John Swan
son opened an investigation, ordering
the arrests of three former operators.
Assistant States Attorney Charles A.
Bellows blamed the local Motion Pic
ture Operators Union for the affair
He said he would appear before Chief
Justice John p. McGoorty with a pc
tition asking that the bonds of Thomas
E. Maloy. business agent of the union,
and other of the officers. now under
Indictment on charges of conspiracy to
obtain money under false pretenses and
conspiracy to do illegal acts injurious
to public trade, be forfeited He said
the men had left the jurisdiction of the
court and therefore were in contempt.
Union Firm in Demands.
In q controversy between union oper-
ators and independent theater owners
the latter have failed to convince the
union that it should abandon its de-
mandS that two operators, instead Of
one. be employed at each of the small
houses. The owners. eontending that
the wage paid the second man repre-
sented the difference between their being
able to operate at profit or to suffer
loss, have employed men brought
from Eastern cities or non-union local
operators. While the Eastern men be-
long to union, it is not associated
with the local organization
The operators from Eastern cities,
used by the independent owners, were
gathered in a Loop hotel at the time
of the bombings. Detectives we're sent
to the hotel to accompany them to
their lodgings.

The following is percentage table
compiled by the fedeI alton for unicn
unemployment by trades during 1881.
Gain Only Seasonal

1t was on the basis of these figures
the federation chieftain said he was
able to estimate that 100000 were
out Of work in August. Industrial en-
ployment gained. he declared. and
about 10000 found work. However, he
estimated that about 10000 were laid
of on farms with the end of the July
harvesting season, making a total gain
since July of about 80 900 Jobs
This very slight gain in EMPLOY
ment." he asserted, cannot be inter
preted as a change for the better. for
it Is only seasonal We NAV be CRATE
full that few hundred thousand of the
900 out of work will find tempo
rary jobs in industry In the next two
months, but this viii not lessen our
Winter problem.
by November We will have some
100000 farm laboFers out of work, and
this number will double before the
Winter is over. If industry lays men
OH ct the usual rate, we may expect
some l.20OOO to lose their Jobs be-
tween october and January. Even al
lowing for the temporary Fall gain in
employment, we will have some 1000
600 more to provide for in addition to
the 5.000000 now out of work.
There Is only one way to lessen this
number. For industry to keep men at
work by shortening work hours and
dividing available Jobs among all This,
with a guarantee of work to the mini
mum force in each plant. would be an
immense bulwark against business de-
preston this Winter"
Mr.. Green said the biggest gain in
employment during August came in the
textile industries. where nearly 80 per
cent OF the unemployed went back to
work. Gains were noted also In the
manufacturing and shipping industries.
he said.
He said that In some trades, on the
other hand. unemployment was still on
the increase. including printing, where
the number out of work was three times
what it was a yesr before. and in build
ing when ioblessness had reached the
unprecedented preparation for Summer
months Of 81 per cent
