Green Declares HaIf-MiIIion
More Persons JoblesS
Than Last Year
By GEORGE w. HOLMES
International News Service

Administration officials VIII o
have been patting themselves on
the back of late because Of "im-
proving business conditions" re-
ceived a rude shock today in the
estimate of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that unemployment
is increasing, instead of diminish
ing, and that the country faces
this winter a relief problem in
comparably greater than last
year.
The A. F. of L. figures maintain
there were $4,000 more unem-
ployed in October than in the
same month a year ago-or, re-
duced to cold figures, 1851, ZOO
persons were jobless.
The Federal Government has
no figures of its own with which
to combat the labor estimate,
although the United States Cham
ber of Commerce has consistently
estimated that the A. F. Of L. estl-
mates are about 100000 above
the actual condition.
More People on Relief
In any event, there was little
disposition on the part of Admin
iStration officials to quarrel with
organized labor'S prediction that
the relief problem this winter IS
going to be greater than last
winter.
Figures from the office of
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, confirm there are
now more people on Federal relief
than there were a year ago.
There seemingly is little ques-
ton that business has picked up
and improved in many lines dur
ing the autumn. Department
Store sales, usually a reliable
barometern are way ahead of last
year. It is in the so-called dur
able goods induStries-.steel, lum-
ber, cement, etc.-that progress
has been conspicuously lacking,
and it is these heavy industries
that employ the bulk of laborers.
Good Prices Higher
Instead of improving during the
autumn, the general business
level actually went lower in Octo-
ber, as compared with a year ago,
according to William Green,

Prosecutor Says 3 Little Girls
Were Smothered in Tragic
Sequel to "EIopement"

CARLISL Pa, Nov. 80
U.N.SD.--The three little girls
found dead between blankets, on
the mountainside near here, were
killed as a result of "Suffocation
by external means" at the hands
of their father, Elmo j. Noakes,
Cumberland County Coroner A.
E. Haegele and District Attorney
Fred Templeton charged today.
Mr.. Templeton said DR.. George
Moffit, of Harrisburg, the pathol-
ogiSt retained by the coroner to
make tests of various vital or.
gans of the girls, had been in
structed to discontinue his work.
The district attorney said the
physician will issue statement
in the next few days confirming
the beliefs of himself and the
coroner with respect to the cause
of death.
From the West coast came word
which established the victims OF
the two Pennsylvania tragedies as
Noakes; his daughters, Norma, 10:
GCVn4A, 1Vs dAAu AOAGOA4n, o, dAA0
his niece and houSekeeper, Wini-
fred Pierce, 10.
Autos Key Clue
So certain are the authorities
that these are the victims that it
may not be necessary for relatives
of NoakeS and Miss Pierce to come
here to confirm Identification.
The identification were made
through pictures of the victims
and through the license number
of the black sedan in which the
five came to Pennsylvania from
California.
Major Cecil M. Wilhelm, sec.
ond in command Of the State
police, declared the descriptions
of the victims and the NoakeS
family and the Pierce girl were
"close enough" to be conclusive.
The direct linking to Noakes
of the couple was the move that
started the authorities on their
way to success. When Interna-

Cummings Decides Alcohol Tax
Unit Employees Can Have
Pay Readjusted Later

The 1000 employees Of the
Treasury Departments Alcohol
Tax Unit, scheduled for dismis-
sal today, won definite vic
tory with a ruling by Attorney
General Cummings that Treas
ury Secretary MOrgenthau is
not forced to dismiss them.
The Attorney. Generals Opin-
ion rules that the Secretary of
the Treasury can keep the en-
plOyes at work without pay,
their compensation t6 be read
juSted with the coming session
of Congress.
Treasury officials and Attorney
General Cummings went into a
huddle today in last-minute et-
fort to save the jobs of 900 en-
ployes of the Alcohol Tax Unit,
scheduled for dismissal today.
Officials were attempting to de-
termine by what precedent, if any,
employees can be retained without
pay. The purpose of this pro-
cedure is to stave off dismissals
until Congress convenes, with the
hope the McKellar rider will be
amended.
Already 500 new employees for
the unit have been taken from
Civil Service rolls and if today's
plans fall through about 900 more
will be recruited to replace those
discharged.
Today, as far as opinions of
members of Congress can be
ascertained, it is the general view
that the legislation was passed
too hastily, since it has been re.
vealed that the 900 gained their
Civil Service status by passing a
regular open competitive Civil
Service examination. Many ex-
press themselves as favoring
prompt legislation to correct the
injustice.
Samuel Ansell, attorney for the
employees, has advised them to
return to their jobs each day, al
though they will receive no com.
penSation for their work at
present.

Waterbury must pay s1z1,as4.4t in state and military taxes this year. City Treasurer Edward l.. Futile mas received notice to this effect from State Tax Commissioner William H. Hackett. This city must pay the fourth largest sum in the state, Hartford being first, New Ha- ven coming second and Bridgeport holding third place. Conroller Daniel J. Leary was in receipt Of news of the states bill, also.
 The state tax throughout Con- necticut will be $t,250.000 and Is apportioned among the towns and cities. The military tax is based on the appropriation made by the general assembly for the support of organized militia the amount for this year being $451,4S2. Of this amount s5 per cent is apportioned among the towns as is the state tax and 15 per cent is paid out of the general funds of the state. The total military tax this year due is $383,759.70.
 The amount due from Water bury on both the state and mili- tary taxes is more than $10,000 less than the amount estimated in the 1894 budget. The city set up $1O0.- 699.04 for state taxes and ESQ.,. 915.39 for military taxes. The amount due for state taxes is all most $8,000 less than the amount appropriated and that due for mili- tary taxes is. almost $2,500 less than the appropriation. Therefore, the. budget makers here left the city safe margin
 Such is not the question in New Haven where, when the bills for the state and military taxes were
