(DaiIy worker washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 30
I'VE have made no Roadway what
ever this year in putting the I'M
employed to work in industry
William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor
Roosevelt administration booster
and leading member of the N. R
A. Labor Advisory Board, an
nounced today in his regular state
ment on unemployment. Unem-
ployment," he said, increased from
10,248,000 in May of this year, to
10,310,000 in June, to 10,772,000 for
July. In August, although the
Government figures are not yet
available, our trade union reports
show that in the first part of the
month unemployment increased
again." he added.
L. X. A. Puts Unemployment Higher
On the basis of government fig
ures, the Labor Research Associa-
ton estimated the number of un-
in November, 1888, at
Is, 1856 900.
Recent trends do not warrant any
in these figures for last
During the Spring of
1884, industry, according to the l..
R. A., took on few thousand
workers. This is more than offset
by the last report of the National
Industrial Conference Board which
stated that $4,000 men lost their
jobs in July.
Unemployment has been in
creasing steadily since May, &C
cording to estimates of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor based en-
tirely on monthly employment fig
ures from the U. S. Government"
Green declared in his opening state
ment. The N. r. A.-A. F. of L..
chief, nevertheless, is grateful" for
he 100000 unemployment T"
claimed by the recently issued first
report.
Does Not Mention Wage Drop
1t is significant that nowhere in
his report does Green attack the
false conclusion of the met in
crease" in purchasing power drawn
by Donald r. Richberg, chairman
of the National Emergency Council
of the N. r. A., from the latter's
own figures admitting g. drop of IL
per cent in the workers real wages
in the period from June, 1888 to
June, 1884.
Green concludes that "unemploy-
ment is our greatest national prob
lem at the present time F.. Clearly
business men have no solution to
offer. The situation is challenge
to the Government. to give lis a
plan which will finish the task so
well begun last Summer and put
the rest of the unemployed back
to work"
Green attacks the business exc
cutiyes' u. S. Chamber Of Com
merce for attempting to "sidestep"
the unemployment issue" despite
his own pointed sidestepping Of the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill, which was the only
measure introduced during the last
session of Congress which provides
genuine unemployment insurance
for those now unemployed for the
duration of their period Of unern-
ployment.

DISTRICT DIRECTORS TO PROTECT
RIGHTS ON RIVER FROM ARIZONA

Arizona IS Colorado river commits
sion is on the way to Washington
to try to negotiate a contract with
the interior department. Agents
from Arizona are urging recogni-
ton of claims to rights far exceed
ing those granted by the Colorado
river compact .-f. -
Directors of the Imperial Irriga-
ton district, learning of Arizona IS
latest move, acted quickly today to
protect the Valleys interests and
to combat demands that would i'm
peril the Valleys future A tele-
gram was sent to Phil Swing warn
ing him to watch the situation at
Washington.
According to information receiv-
ed at Ell Centro, Arizona will ask
storage privileges in Boulder dam
for 100000 acre feet; wants the
Gila, Little Colorado and other Ar
izona tributaries reserved for Ari-
zona IS use and proposes that her
present vested rights not be in
cluded in the 100000 storage now
requested.
A sop to the Metropolitan Water
district is said to be held out by
Arizona with an offer TO withdraW

all her opposition to Parker dam.
District directors this morning
wired Secretary Ickes of the inter-
ior department.
''Just learned Arizona IS Colorado
river commission on way to Wash
ington to negotiate contract with
you. Believe Arizona will urge you
to recognize her claim to rights far
exceeding those granted her by the
Colorado river compact, Boulder
canyon project act and decisions of
the supreme court. Because Ari-,
zona has persistently refused to
ratify the compact, California was
compelled to make burdensome
guarantees on behalf of the lower
basin to upper basin states and &C
cept precarious limitations on her
use of her share of the river and
our future safety will be imperiled
if Arizona IS rights are now en-
larged by contract beyond those
granted her by law and court de-
cisions. Therefore we respectfully
ask a hearing before the contract
is concluded.
Directors also urged Attorney
General Webb to wire Secretary
Ickes and called on upper basin
states to take similar action.

BRAWLEY FACING CRISIS
Serious Water Shortage Causes
Drastic Restrictions For Resi-
dents In North End City

"No rain reported from any Sec
ton of the watershed nor indicat-
ed over Saturday, is the text of a
telegram received at irrigation dis
trict headquarters from the Yuma
office of the weather bureau this
morning. This is the first message
received here from the Yuma office
relative to weather conditions in
the upper basin of the river for
over week.
River readings posted at the dis
trict office this morning show a
drop of 240 second feet in the flow
of the Colorado river at the Grand
Canyon station for today. This
reading gives the flow at that point
at 2630 second feet compared with
the 2870 mark registered yesterday
A gain of II second feet is noted
for the spill, the reading for today
being 293 second feet as against
276 for yesterday. The Yuma and
diversion marks remained tn e
same as yesterday, being 10 and
$50 second feet respectively.
Ell Centrans used 100000 gallons
of water from the city supply in
irrigating their shrubs and trees
yesterday according to figures OBJ
tained at the city engineer office.
City reservoirs are being replenish-
ed with a new supply of water to-
day and this is expected to con-
Enue until ponds and reservoirs at
the city plant are filled to capacity
again. .ejs
Word reached here this morning
that the Brawley water supply has
reached very critical stage it be-
ing estimated that the reservoirs
contain but two day supply at
present. Efforts are being made
today to bring supply of water
up the canal from which the
Brawley plant draws its water so
that the reservoirs might be filled
with little delay. Drastic regula-
tions governing the use of water
are in effect in Brawley today in
order to allow the present supply to
last as long as possible.

A group of friends of w. Lee
Groves, now in the county Jail un-
der sentence to states prison on a
charge of manslaughter, appeared
before Judge Thompson this morn
ing asking that he be granted pro-
baton.
Elmer Heald, district attorney,
appeared in the courtroom in con-
nection with the matter and stated
that the local court could do Moth
ing further in the matter as it is
now before the district court of
appeals.
Groves was found guilty of man.
slaughter by a jury in Judge
Thompson court early this year.
The evidence at the trial showed
he had struck C. w. Clarke during
a quarrel on a Brawley street cor
ner, the blow knocking Clarke to
the pavement and causing a skull
fracture from which he died.
Following the trial Groves had
applied for probation which was
denied by the court and he was
sentenced to San Quentin for the
term prescribed by law. An appeal
was then taken to the appellate
court which has as yet made no
decision in the matter.

ASK APPROVAL
FOR DISTRICT
CANAL WORK

A project calling for new con-
struction and maintenance of a
large portion of the irrigation dis
trict' canal system was forwarded
from local SERA office this after
noon to state headquarters in San
Francisco for approval. 1t is hoped
that this approval will be received
within three days SO that active
work can be started immediately.
This project is the one proposed
by M. j. Dowd, chief engineer of
the irrigation district and approx
ed by the district board of direc-
tors some time ago. If put into
effect it will furnish work to about
400 men for period of one year
and would put the entire canal
system of the district into first
class condition in preparation for
running water through the canals
when the present shortage is over.
The irrigation district would
furnish equipment for this work
with the SERA attending to the
payroll for labor which, it has been
estimated, would be in the neigh
borhood OF about $17,280 a month.

mony to the embattled ranks of

DELAY ASKED
BY AIR CHIEF
ON REMOVAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. U.p)-
Secretary of War George H. Dern
today announced that Maj Gen.
Benjamin D. Foulois, chief of army
air corps, had asked him to with
hold action on the demands of the
Rogers house military affairs sub
committee that he be removed
Foulois, Dern explained, asked
the delay because of his inability
to obtain from Chairman Rogers
or other members of the committee
copies of the testimony on which
the investigators based their de-
mand.
For this reason, F'oulois said, he
was unable to prepare a final reply
to the committee IS request.
Dern in prepared statement,
explained that Foulois had sent
copies of his letters to the COM
mittee members and copies OF such
replies as he had received.
