INCREASE IN TAXES
IS URGED BY GREEN
Higher Revenue Advocated to
Take Care of Needs of
Unemployed.

An increase in Federal taxes was
urged today by President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor to
take care of needs arising from steadily
mounting unemployment
The labor official estimated there
were $4,000 jobless on January l, and
added that the peak was not expected
before Spring. This estimate Is 1,3OO,-
600 more than was predicted by Green
several months ago.
In advocating increased taxation
Green charged that both municipal re-
lief and private charity programs are
totally unable to meet the needs OF
the unemployed"
More JobleSs Expected.
I'VE are now fsee to face with an
unprecedented unemployment crisis,
he warned, and With relief provision
totally inadequate for even the Winter
months, we must look ahead now to
the needs OF the year
"A conservative estimate places the
probable unemployment for 1882 pe-
tween 100000 and 100000 as an av-
erage. 1t will cost between S35OO,OO0,-
600 and SIS, TOO, 100000 to feed, clothe
and house the unemployed even at bare
subsistence levels.
Already we are hearing from bank
rIpt cities and towns reports OF un-
precedented suffering they cannot meet.
Some are not even paying their school
teachers. Community chests. after a
valiant effort to collect funds from pri-
vate sources, report their funds made
ouate: the need is four times that Of
1928. their funds only 25 per cent more,
Isolated industrial sections outside
the cities-coal fields. textile mill vii
lages-have no resources outside their
industry to cope with their problem.
Even large cities are not meeting their
relief needs.
Thus the responsibility Of caring for
those out of work is thrown back on
their relatives, friends and neighbors,
who can least afford to give OF their
own meager incomes. This burden,
added to wage cuts and part-time work,
reduces our living standards to the point
OF poverty in millions Of homes.
L. s. Only Agency Left.
"Only one agency can meet the relief
problem now that al other resources
have been proved inadequate--the Fed
eral Government BY taxation 1t can
distribute the burden of this year where
it can be borne with least injury to our
citizenship"
Green said he based his unemploy-
ment estimate and his suggestions for
relief needs upon reports he received
from trade unions in every section of
the United States.
officials Of the Presidents Organiza-
ton on Unemployment Relief refused
to discuss Green's statement The labor
chieftain is member of one of this
organizations most important COM
mitteeS.
The Labor Departments Employment
Service issued its usual monthly bulletin
on conditions throughout the country,
declaring for December a more opti-
mistic outlook prevailed regarding the
general ndustrial-employmen situa-
ton" which. with a few exceptions,
changed very little in December as COM
pared with November.
