Democratic leaders do not ex-

Garner repeal resolution, which

posed 10-cent tax on kilograms cost
ing so cents or more, were detailed
by President Frank B. Powers in a
brief submitted to the senate finance
committee.
1--WE are fully cognizant of the fact
that revenue must be raised and that
taxes must be levied for that pur-
pose," Mr.. Powers told the commit
tee. "We desire to point out, how
ever" he continued, "that taxes which
are bound to cripple or kill an indus
try will not produce the revenue which
is expected from the tax to be levied.
'It is our sincere belief that these
taxes are so heavy that the purpose
of raising revenue thereby will be de-
feated, for the reason that the cost of
doing business will become prohibitive
and brokerage firms, leased wires and
telegraph offices will be eliminated.
Thousands of our members have
already suffered from unemployment
because of the constant decline in the
volume of business transacted over
the brokerage wires and telegraph
company wires. We wish to go on
record most vigorously against a tax
which we feel sure is going to add to
the unemployment problem of tele-
graph workers"
The brief protests that a tax of 10
cents on kilograms costing over so
cents would place kilograms in the
super luxury class and would drive
the public from the use of telegraphic
facilities, further adding to the mum
Der of unemployed telegraphers.

will result in the elimination of such

TOTAL OF IDLE
STILL RISING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-"Ob-
viously we have yet failed to turn
the tide toward economic recovery"
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clares, in making public report of
the federation showing an increase in
trade union unemployment during
April.
Pointing out that the new rise in
unemployment is of the greatest sig
nifcance, coming at time when en-
ployment is usually increasing, in
stead of declining, President Green
warns that unless hours are shorten
ed to give work to more unemployed
the nation runs the risk of worse
crisis. GA universal fve-day week
would afford work for a large num-
ber of unemployed" he says.
President Green's statement fol
lows:

April show a new danger: Industrial
unemployment is increasing at the
peak of the usual spring busy sea-
son. Never before in the five years
of our reports has unemployment III
creased in April, not even in the two

relief money to last until May, June
or August; very few have enough for
the full year. There is only one way
to give men enough work to keep
body and soul together and at the
same time stimulate buying: Divide
work time among those who need
work by shortening work hours.
Shorter Week Would Help
President Hoover is reported as
convinced that the five-day week plan
will become necessary principle in
the economic recovery of the country.
A universal fve-day week would af-
ford work for a large number of un-
employed.
''Trade union reports are warning
that unless hours are shortened to
give work to more unemployed we
run the risk of worse crisis. Our
weighted figures show 22.9 per cent
unemployed in April compared with
22.5 per cent in March-an increase
of four-tenths of one per cent in un-
employment at season when unem-
ployment usually declines at least
six-tenths of one per cent.

the same trend: 1.5 per cent of the
four and half million workers in
their reports were laid off from Feb
ruary Is to March Is.

Estimating unemployment in the
country as a whole on the basis of
our figures from unions, we find that
nearly 100000 have lost their jobs in

NTASHINGTON, Nov. Possibility that Her
w bert Hoover. if defeated for the presidency,
Nov. 8, may name Governor Roosevelt as secretary
OF state, and then turn the government to him
by resigning with Vice-President Charles Curtis,
is being discussed here.
Woodrow Wilson contemplated such step in
1916 in case Charles Evans Hughes defeated him,
and recent disclosures indicate he had decided upon
this course which would make a precedent in
United States history.
President Hoover's statement of Monday night,
deprecatng the four month lapse between election
and inauguration OF administration, also Is
viewed possibly significant in this connection,
although it was made a plea for the necessity
OF continuing the present Republican administra-
ton.
White House attaches today refused to comment
on this phase. and said nothing could be said with
regard to HooVers future course.
Wilson's intention to resign in 1915, recently re-
veaaed by his secretary. Joseph P. Tumuty, is de-
tailed also by George sylvester vereck in his book
