Washington. - Over 100000 en-
ployes of the federal government will
have the final per cent of the orig
inal Is per cent pay reduction restor-
ed, beginning April /, as result of
action by congress. This is now con-
tingent only upon the signature of
President Roosevelt, which it is be-
lieved will be attached to the bill car
rying the restoration provision. This
is one of FIVE A. F. of L. legislative
program major points.
Restoration was effected by attach
ment of an amendment to the deficien-
cy bill by Senator McCarron 3D.,
Nev.), who had been selected by the
Legislative Council of Government
Employees to handle the matter. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had announced that
restoration of the remaining per
cent could not be made until July 1,
while employees were determined to
have it effective January |, the date
of April / representing compromise.
The government pay cut originated
in 1882, during the Hoover admins
tration, when reduction of eight and
one-third per cent was put into effect,
and it was increased to Is per cent
early in 1888. The last session of con-
gress eliminated 10 per cent of the
cut, effective as of February /, 1884.

Strike Against Injunctions

New York City (ILNS)-In protest
against threatened signing OF an IN
junction against their union and the
international Longshoremen's Asso-
ciation, 10000 members of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Teamsters
staged one-day strike which paralyz-
ed the movement of freight to and
from New York's wharves. The strike
was rot sanctioned by the officers OF
the teamsters' organization.
1t was expected the injunction or
der would be signed by Justice Burt
Jay Humphrey on January %, the
day of the stoppage of work. When
the justice postponed action on the
order, the strike committee called off
the walkout, warning that it would
be resumed If the order was signed.
Threat was also made of an attempt
to call general strike of New York
workers If the injunction was granted.
The walkout was under the direc-
tion of "rank and file committee of
25, headed by Thomas c. Smith. 1t
was officially announced by Michael
J. Cashal, vice president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters,
that the strike was unauthorized and
that the union officials declined to as
sumo responsibility for the commit
tees action.
The injunction suit was brought by
the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
and group of trade associations ano
shippers against the two unions ane

cused of acting in collusion with the
union in making impossible the opera,

waterfront. The plaintiffs content
that this collusion is in violation o1

the granting of the injunction in
case involving interstate commerce

department of labor in the automo-

consulted or talked to single repre-

in constant conferences with the au-

TOTAL ON RELIEF
Gaining Despite Increase
I'm Jobs

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS)-Despite
a slight gain in employment in De-
cember, the number Of persons on re-
lief is increasing, President William
Green, of the American Federation of
Labor, emphasized in making public
the federation's monthly report on
unemployment.
Reports from 141 of our largest
cities show per cent more persons
on relief in December than in No
vember, although unemployment in
the country as a whole decreased by
II ,000," President Green said. He
continued:
"This fact points to the exhaustion
of resources among the unemployed,
many Of whom have now been without
regular work for three, four or even
five years. Although employment will
probably increase further in the
spring season just ahead, there is no
prospect that industrial gains will be
enough to employ more than small
portion of the 11,329,000 now with
out work
Little Change in Year
Our revised unemployment figure
for November shows 11,400,000 out
of work at that time and in December
unemployment decreased to 1929
! 600. In December last year 1929
900 were out of work so that at the
end of 1884 unemployment was at
practically the same level as at the
end of 1888.
"The decrease in unemployment IN
December this year was due largely
to two facts: Christmas trade was
unexpectedly good, better than in any
year since 1881, creating over 200,-
600 jobs temporarily at least, in re-
tail stores; in factories increased pro.
duction of automobiles and of stee
and machine tools to supply the auto
mobile industry re-employed large
number as did also activity in tex
tiles, and boots and shoes SO that jobs
in factories were increased by more
than 100000. These gains more thar
offset the seasonal lay-offs in build
ings 123,000), farms (23,00O), rail
roads (18,0oo) and other industries
Improvement Continuing
Trade union reports for the frs
part of January indicate that this i'm
provement in employment is probabl
continuing. In December, report
from unions in "a cities showed 81.
per cent of the membership unem
| ployed (weighted figure, revised
compared to 20.9 per cent in the frs
part of January Gains in employ
ment in theatres, railroads and manu-
featuring, which are not usual at thi
time of year, reduced unemployment
slightly and put a small proportion Q
the membership back to work"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Labor, |
definitely on record at a hearing on
code employment provisions as be-
lieving NRA has failed to adequately
increase employment and purchasing
power, is throwing the full force of
its support behind the Black 30-hour
bill.
The bill was actively championed
by President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, and
President John L. Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers Of America, at
congressional committee hearings
featured by sizzling labor attack
on Donald r. Richberg. Stimuli
taneously, labor sharply denounced
President Roosevelt's renewal of the
automobile code.
"Recreant to Obligations"
Richberg, director of the National
Emergency Council and former gen
eral counsel of the NRA, was called
traitor to organized labor" by
Lewis, testifying before a subcommit-
tee of the senate judiciary commit
tee. The miners head not only as
sailed Richberg, but accused the NRA
of yielding to the pressure of big
business.
Asserting that Richberg was re-
sponsible for the automobile code
having been extended by President
Roosevelt without an official of the
American Federation of Labor being
consulted, Lewis said:
Mr.. Richberg, springing from the
loins of labor as he did, recommended
to the president of the United States
the imposition of a code on labor in
the automobile industry for continu-
ance of 48 hours week
Il think Mr. Richberg was not only
recreant in his obligation as public
servant, but think he was a traitor
to organized labor when he made that
recommendation that nurtured
him."
30-Hour Bill Called Vital
Lewis declared enactment of the 30
hour week bill is question of life
and death to some millions of our
citizens" While the social security
legislation has great potentialities,
Lewis said that the whole program
might come to naught if Americans
were unable to find employment
Replying to Lewis, Richberg the
next day said the charge that he was
a traitor" amounted to the demand
that as a public official | should put
subservience to the policies of par
ticular labor organization above 10y
atty to my government and to my con-
ception of public interest"
| Lewis thereupon again assailed
Richberg, charging he had system
atically "scuttled" the NRA by con
stantly attacking Section IA anc
through his personal entente cordiale
with leaders of the steel industry, the
automobile industry and other power
full interests"

Briggs made known his inten,

Sports writer's were called to

In it, Briggs revealed the agree.
ment with Frank J. Navin which

Through the exercise Of his
option, Briggs became virtual czar
of the destinies of the Tigers, as
he now owns all stock. The amount
Of money Frank Navin's so per
cent of stock will cost him was
not known, nor was there any
mention of money in the state
ment.
Speculation over ownership and
managership of the Tigers has
been rife since Navin was stricken

that Cachrane would assume the

However, Evans resignation
from the Cleveland Indians was
believed to have been the first
intimation of what would happen
to the world champions. Many
insisted that he would become

According to the report, this
man would park his sedan about
$50 feet from the Loring house
and Corinna would walk there to
meet him. Members of the fam
lily told police they knew Of no
such man. He was described as
about 35 years old and was always

ing to be DONE" WPA Administra-
tor Harry Hopkins snapped back
at opponents of his works-relief
program today, in a sweeping de-
fense of WPA policies before the
third annual conference of United
States Mayors.
Hopkins was referring especially
to those who have singled out for
criticism projects for deaf and
blind and for white collar work
ers, and added: why, we've even
got rejects for crippled children
think Of that!'
Administrator Hopkins asserted
that he had no quarrel with those
who disagree with WPA on the
score Of inadequacy Of the pro-
gram.
Politicians Raped
There are a few people, how
ever" Hopkins told the mayors,
who would make this program q
political football, those who don't
want to see people get relief"
Complaints from this group, he
said, fell into charges that WPA
funds are allotted for political
purposes, that the men won't work
or that the projects are useless.
These charges, he declared, come
from pople who are ignorant OF
facts, who are deliberately ma
licious for personal reasons, or for
political and partisan motives.
The woods are full Of them to-
day" Hopkins declared, "and
they're going to get fuller"
He pounded home denial that
WPA funds had been used re-
Gently for political purposes.
Kentucky Charge Denied

liberately Fastening the allotment
of funds for projects in Kentucky

State" said the administrator.
There is not one iota Of truth
in that charge and those who
made it know it was untrue" he
declared.

ing relief workers refusal to work,
Hopkins retorted: why conclude
that hard.working men overnight
have turned into chiSelers and
buns? More than one-half of the
people on relief worked for their
last employer four and one-half
years on the same job"
$4,000 Added Daily
Mr.. Hopkins asserted that S0,-
900 anxious and eager" workers
are going to work on his projects
every day now. He said he had
no authentic information that
people anywhere in the country
won't work.
There's a project right out of
washington here that I visited"
said Hopkins "TransientS in this
city who had been supported and
fed volunteered for that job al
most to a man. They stood IN

Intensive Efforts Put
Forth by Workers;
Mcclellan Hopeful

Within 36 hours Washington's
annual drive for the needy and
unfortunate will come to a close.
More than 100000 remains to
be collected.
Community Chest workers will
meet again at a luncheon at the,
Willard Hotel today and will make
final reports tomorrow night.
With a goal Of $1,877 300 before
them, the workers are striving TO
collect $665, ,654 to bring them to
victory.
No Coercion
Speaking as a Government en-
ploye, John F. Victory. secretary
of the Advisory Board for Aeronau.
tics, at yesterdays campaign
luncheon declared there are er-
roneous ideas among Government
employees regarding coercion.
"They mistake good salesman
ship, which seeks to point out to
them their civic duty, as coer-
cion," he said.
ANY Government employe who
is not able to give should state so
plainly and I know that if there
are any that have given, under
the mistaken idea that they were
being coerced, they can have their
pledges refunded at the Commun.
ity Chest" Mr.. Victory said.
The speaker criticized those per
sons who sign pledges and then
use the excuse of coercion for
failure to pay. These pledges. he
explained, are counted as assets
by the Community Chest and
when they are not paid the Chest
is forced to borrow the money %
meet its obligations.
