ing that the nation faces its worst

ed higher wages, a greater share of
wealth for the workers, "redistribu-
ton OF swollen fortunes through
inheritance and gift taxes, and
shorter work days and work weeks.
In his Labor day speech, delivered
to the Central Labor Union, Green
also attacked the sales tax and the
practice OF corporations of selling
stock to employees who subsequent
ly lost their jobs and had TO sell the
stock on declining market.
The latter, he said, marks black
page" in the history of industrial
management.
Green called for ratification by
legislatures Of the anti-child labor
amendment, now at a standstill fol-
lowing its submission by congress
several years ago.
No Help for Jobless
He estimated II ,40O,O0O are out of
work and unable to get jobs, and
charged that the governments aid
to business, banks and corporations
has not had any perceptible eff
feet upon the unemployment situa-
ton"
Strive as we may" he said, "to
interpret every hopeful sign in the
most hopeful way, we know, with
fatalistic certainty, that the nation
is facing its worst winter of I'M
employment"
He closed his address with the
optimistic note that there are in
dications that the economic skies are
clearing and that faith and conf
dence are being restored" and a
plea for a remedy Of "our faulty
distribution system
Assails Wage Cutting
Green outlined the federation's
program, emphasizing the shorter
work periods, the Davis-Kell bill
for government regulation Of the
coal industry, and rentriction of i'm

He reiterated his attack on wage
cutting and asserted that there will
be no economic upturn until the
owners and management of indus
try cease their pursuit of stupid,
unwise, destructive Wage-cutting
policy.
