Predicts Job Insurance

Budget matters were before the

question where the cold cash IS

loomed the gray and gloomy
figure Of unemployment.
To the White House came to-
day Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau, Daniel Bell, Acting
Director of the Budget, and Harry
Hopkins, Director of Federal Re-
lief, who has the growing problem
of relief for the jobless next
winter.
Eight Million Idle
Overnight the American Fedora
ton of Labor through President
william Green made public its un-
employment figures, showing
8,348, 1000 adults out of work and
2,229 900 more on emergency jobs,
relief work, and in CCC camps.
while these figures are some
what higher than those i1tlreports
from other orgaf1fza tons, they *dte'
considered to be a fair indicator
of the problem before the Admin
istration.
President Green asked that in
dustry speed up production 80 per
cent and declared that relif work,
emergency jobs, and similar pal
liativeS are not a true solution OF
the unemployment problem.
Job Insurance Seen
In addition to other callers, the
President today saw Senator Har-
rison, of Mississippi. After his
conference, Senator Harrison ex-
planned he had taken up with the
President important matters con-
nected with the Senate's legiSla-
tive program for next session.
Foremost among these was the
question of unemployment inSur-
ance. In explanation, Senator
Harrison said:
81 think I can promise that
. bill for insurance against un-
employment will be passed by
the Senate next session; posi-
bly, by the House also.
