President Green Of
 Federation Of Labor
 Warns United States
Unless Government Greatly Increases Program of Public Works to Aid Idle Economic Structure Is in Danger

chusetts Federation of Labor's con vention, something much worse will be substituted" Green called upon President Hoover to call an immediate con- ference of financiers, labor repre- sentatives and economists for in- timate discussion of the unemploy- ment problem.
 He suggested that following the conference employers pledge that they will retain all employees now at work.
 Green said records of his organ l ization showed there were ap- proximatcly six million unem- ployed men in the country at l present.
 "The unemployed man is a | meance {. his community" the labor leader said. And six mil lion unemployed men increase that menace six million fold" Green said the unemployment situation was especially alarming because of it's duration.
 "Our granaries are filled to over flowing" he continued. Yet hung CT stalks the land. The economic balance is wrong. The whole cx- isting structure is affected. And sc- ciety has a responsibility to so re- build it as to banish want"
 Green advocated shortening of the work week not only to five days, but even to as much as three days in some place to distribute work among greater numbers and to prevent layoffs.
 "Laborers have greatly increased their efficiency, and we must re- duce the hours of labor to meet the stuation," he declared.
 The head of organized labor spoke disparagingly of employers who levied wage cuts, terming such reductions silly"
 He also said labor strongly re- scented the attitude taken by some that it was more importance to give charity than work. We want work, not charity" he asserted.

MOUNTAIN AREA
TO GET RELIEF
FROM WEATHER
w armer Temperatures
Expected In Country
Swept By Blizzard

DENVER, March 80. U.P)-A fore
cast of clearing weather today
brought cheer to the hearts of resi-
dents of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion for the first time since early
last week when q blizzard unleashed
its fury to claim II lives.
The storm had ragged intermit-
tently during the week. Its third
attack in that time was made Sum
day. Snow started falling early in
the day and fell until late last night.
The wind yesterday was idle, how
ever, and temperatures were some
what milder than during the bliz-
Zard last week.
Traffic still was hampered, espe-
cially in the vicinity of Towner,
Colo, where the storm struck asst
week with the greatest intensity and
exacted a death toll marked by ex-
traordinary tragedy and suffering
The tragedy at Towner nearly was
duplicated near Syracuse. Kansas.
Miss Enola Glover, teacher at the
Midway school, saw the blizzard was
nothing for the children to venture
into and forced her 81 charges to
remain at the schoolhouse until help
arrived
Two other probable disasters were
averted in the same vicinity. At
Horace, Kansas, rescuers saved 20
children after their bus became
stalled in snowdrift.
John Doll, bus driver at Sheri-
dan Lake, Colo, kept three boys
and a young girl in a shack over
the weekend to escape the blizzard.
Besides the six dead at Towner,
five other people were victims of the
storm. They were: Two men at
Cheyenne Wells, Colo; a man at
Roggen, Colo; sheepherder at Riv-
erton, Wyo., and boy near Max,
Neb.
