Labor Chief Says Nation
Must Accept 30-Hour
Week Also.
BY the Associated Press.

WICHITA, Kans., September s.
william Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, declared to-
day the Nation must accept the 30
hour week "as real remedy for
unemployment" and said the fedora
ton would appeal to the Government
for direct relief payments to the idle
this Winter
In a Labor day appraisement OF
national planning and economic ex-
perimentation, the veteran labor CHIEF
asserted the 40-hour week, now the
maximum under most N. r. A. codes,
could not supply employment for the
country's workers.
1T is either mounting unemploy-
ment with all its tragic consequences
or shorter hours and higher wages for
ALL" he said.
1T is the opinion of representatives
Of labor and many outstanding econ
omists as well as many enlightened
and progressive employers that in
dustry and the Nation must accept
and apply the six-hour day and the
five-day week as a real remedy for
unemployment.
The federation president proposed
direct relief payments by the Federal
Government in addition to aid through
employment created by various relief
projects.
Face Worst Winter"
In his address at Labor day cele-
bration under the auspices Of the
Wichita trades and labor assembly
and the American Legion, Green said
"It is quite obvious that We are
facing our worst Winter, and in facing
it we must firmly resolve that no man
woman or child shall suffer from
hunger, lack of shelter or for the ele-
mental necessities of life. Adequate
relief must be supplied to the unem-
ployed and their families and to our
farm population, who are the victims
of losses of crops as the result of the
drought.
''The American Federation of La

Federal Government include as part
of its huge relief program an accel-

screamed and bells changed from fol-
lowing fire divisions.

by Reports.

BY the Associated Press.
At least $4,000 workers were idle in
the Carolinas today as a result of the
general textile strike call.
Francis j. German, chairman of
the Strike Committee directing the
walkout, said he was more than
satisfied" with reports from the mill
centers of the South. Northern mills
generally observed Labor day, de-
ferring the test.
He predicted the industry would be
crippled by the middle of the week.
Remember" he said, "the first real
test will come tomorrow. Watch the
textile centers then"
BY Saturday, he predicted, the
strike will be between IS and 80 per
cent complete.
Conflicting claims made it difficult
to determine how many in the Caro-
linas struck and how many were
forced into idleness by the walkout
of others.
German said he was informed there
had been complete shutdown in

which had opened finding it necessary
to close as workers drifted from the
posts.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POCATELLO, Idaho, September 8.
Senator William E. Borah, in a
Labor day speech here today, de-
nounced the suggestion that labor,
in order to have economic security,
would have to give up a measure of
liberty guaranteed under the Con-
stitution.
The Idaho Senator also denounced
a surprising pronouncement not in
frequently heard of late, and that is
this: That in our modern economic
life democracy will not work"
He called attention to the fact
democracy did work "gloriously" in
the past, and said the trouble now
is that nobody is trying to make it
work.
"A great debate is now going or" /"
said Senator Borah, speaking under
auspices of the Central Labor Union
of Pocatello, ''in which labor must
feel a deep interest. The debate
arises out of the supposed conflict
between economic security and per-
son liberty. It is contended by some
that security involves the giving up
of liberty. 1t is said in reply that
liberty Is more to be desired than
security and, therefore, we must waive
security and hold fast to liberty.
Finds No Conflict.
IF this fatal conflict between Sc
curity and liberty really exists, it is a
serious matter. No one could be more
interested In this cruel discovery, this
wanton anomaly in human progress
than labor. 1t would be crucial hour
in which labor would have to decide
between security and liberty, both of
which are essential to the happiness
and dignity of labor in the industrial
world.
Fortunately, a little reflection will
convince us that no such decision is
necessary. 1t is a false and mislead-
ing issue, raised and presented for
