Council Report Being
Shaped in Capital Session
JOblessness Main Issue Before Labor
mendations on Insurance Campaign Under Prepara-
ton

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Meet-
ing here in fall session, the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor is this week engaged in for
mulating its report to the coming
Cincinnati convention-one of the
most momentous reports in organ
lied labor history.
The council has before it all avail
able facts about the industrial situa-
ton, including facts and forecasts as
to the probable future of employ
ment and unemployment.
1t also is considering the course to
be pursued in regard to the cam
paign for unemployment insurance
legislation. Recommendation will be
laid before the convention.
Is Leading Issue
Beyond question unemployment and
the dozen questions ranging around
unemployment will be the conventions
chief subject. 1t will top the list.
The presidential election will have
been held before the convention meets
and the delegates will be able to reach
decisions in the light of the accom-
plished fact of election. That, how
ever, is not likely to make any great
difference in the recommendations to
be made, for they are being formu-
lated now. Moreover, labor acts
traditionally on a basis of economic
fact, rather than on a basis of po-
litical promise.
The injunction bill issue, looming
large last year, will for the first time
in years be off the boards, for during
the year the anti-injunction bill be
came law, scoring one of labor's all
time big victories.
Extreme reticence is being mani
tested by the council as to subjects
under consideration, and nothing at
all is being said about probable rec
concentrations. But it is known au-
thoritively that unemployment heads
the list and that the council is MAX
ing wide survey of the situation.
Red Menace Looms
The question of communism looms
somewhat before the council also, for
it has been announced that the reds
plan to stage demonstration at the
time of the convention and as near
the place Of meeting as possible. That
such threats will in any way weaken
the A. F. Of L. implacable hostility to
communism can be denied with all
possible vigor.
Before the council adjourns it will
have the current months unemploy-
ment figures, expected to show some
| improvement. At the same time, as
the council meets, various business
| forecasts have become available tend
| ing to show progress toward recovery
Among these is the R. G. Dun report
showing better comparison with
last year than was shown in the Sec
ond quarter Of this year. Another is
the Standard Statistics Survey, based
on statements of $50 leading execu-
tives, concluding that the crisis of the
depression and the low point of bust
ness activity was passed early in the
summer, with slow, gradual and ir.
regular Improvement coming just
ahead.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Charg-

LABOR CAN HELP
WORK SHARING

In every federal reserve dis
trict there is a share-the-work
subcommittee, in a national net
work under the co-ordinating
and guiding influence of Walter
c. Teagle, general chairman in
New York. Labor's cooperation
is sought, and every central la
Dor body has an opportunity to
act. A letter to Mr.. Teagle, 33
Liberty street, New York, will
bring suggestions.
New York City (ILNS)-With ex-
ceptional cases to mar the uniformity
of reports, share-the-work committee
headquarters at 33 Liberty street
here, report a flow Of progress toward
the creation of new jobs for workers
by the simple process of division.
In surprisingly small number of
cases established rules and practices
have stood in the way Of inaugural
ing share-the-work programs, but
Chairman Walter C. Teagle and his
associates are gratifed by the general
acceptance of the proposal by employ
ers and workers alike.
1t is pointed out that many unions
have taken the initiative in work
sharing through reduction of hours
of labor permitted for any one week.
Companies are beginning to report
experience and these reports of ex-
perience are uniformly favorable to
the shorter work week. Out of these
reports arise labor's only hope for
permanent gain out of the temporary
sacrifices of the emergency period, for
they forecast the permanency of the
shorter work week.
An example is in a report of the
Indian Territory Illuminating Oil
Company, which has reported that on
December l, 1880, it established the
eight-hour day and then established
the 40-hour week as far as it felt it
possible, early in 1881. 1t required
contractors doing work for it to estab-
lish the same hours. 1t reports costs

TEN MILLIONS
Monthly Needed For New
York Relief

New York.-The state temporary
emergency relief administration de-
clared that at least $10,000,000 a
month should be spent for public un-
employment relief in New York state
this winter The belief was expressed
that at least 10 per cent Of the popu-
lation of the state would be dependent
for existence on subsidies from public
or private agencies.
The estimate did not include funds
to be raised privately and the bud
gets of the family welfare agencies.

pressed in the Wagner-Crosser bill,
for which an energetic campaign will
be waged in the forthcoming con-

Denounced by Rail Unions
In an exhaustive report going into
the basic principles of pension pro-
posals, the standard railroad labor
executives in the Cleveland meeting,
referring to the proposal of the Chi
cago Association now branded as a
dual organization, said, among many
other things:
"This association is using clever
trick to cover up the fatal weakness
in its program. The bill drafted by
the association provides how much
the employees will receive in pensions.
All the propaganda issued by the as
sociation is devoted to telling the en-
ployes what they will get. No one
supporting this program dares to
state honestly what it will cost the
employees"
The standard union executives de-
clared the Chicago pension scheme IS
scheme under which the railroad
employees are "being asked to sign a
blank check"
