GREEN FORECASTS
LEWIS FAILURE
A. F. l.. Convention Told
Organization Will Be
United in End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla, November 13.-Wn-
liam Green, president OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. forecast to-
day complete failure of John L.
Lewis drive to bring all the workers
in each big industry into one big
union.
Addressing the federation's build
ing trades department convention,
Green said:
We're going to organize the un-
organized OF America and we're going
to organize them into the American
Federation of Labor.
when experiments motivated by
vaporous idealism are completed by
some who have invaded the field in
dependently when they admit
they're through-the A. F. Of L. will
step in and do the job"
Results to Be Plain
Green's only prediction as to what
the federation's general convention
would do about the Lewis rebellion
against the traditional craft form of
organization was that "the world will
know where we stand when we get
through"
A member of Lewis United Mine
Workers, Green said he knew the
miners deep in their hearts love the
American Federation of Labor"
Green was applauded when he said
the Knights of Labor, the Debs move
ment and the International Workers
of the World, each in turn, had tried
to destroy the A. F. Of L. without
success.
We'll go from here ready to face
any foe either within or without the
A. F. of L." he concluded. Il pledge
to you all I have and all I can give
in defense Of the federation"
Before discussing the rebellion, Greer
said the country was ION the threshold
of a great building BOOM"
There is a shortage of homes
throughout the land" he said. There
is a great need for other types OF
building.
Il predict for the building trades q
great building boom. increases in wages
and employment for all workers.
Demand for Workers.
"The demand for workers will be in
excess of the number available. New
men will have to be trained. That will
soon be one of the problems before
your unons."
Green also pledged enactment OF
the Wagner low-cost housing bill at
the next session of Congress.
T. M. Ornburn, secretary OF the
American Federation OF Labor union
label department, reported today the
cooperation of 100000 farmers in a
movement to buy only union-made
goods.
While informal discussion OF q
Farmer-Labor party in 1910 was cur
rent among delegates, Ornburn toA
his departments annual meeting.
1--WE now estimate over million
farmers have become labor conscious
and buy only goods upon which the
union label is displayed"
Reporting. to the building trades
department convention yesterday, the
departments executive council urged
a concerted" drive by all craft unions
to combat the Lewis movement.

School children are permitted to play
the machines except during the lunch
period, he said.
19 Machines Cited.
In his opening statement, Wilson
listed ls different machines which he
asked the court to consider as typical
Of all being operated here. Their
names were "Bambino," "Sky-High,' II
"All Star" Peerless" "Hialeah.
'Preakness,' Tycoon Double Head
er," Alamo" Queen Mary" NC
Coy" "Palooka." Chase" "Madcap,

Hurdle Hop" and "Bolo."
On the basis of Justice Luhring's
preliminary order last July, both pin
ball and claw machines haae operated
undisturbed throughout the Summer
and Fall, despite rulings by the
United States attorney that both
were gambling devices.
Before Garnett's order of last July 8
police had permitted pin ball machines
to be operated. on the theory that they
involved Q certain element Of skill.
After lengthy consideration, how
ever, Garnett and his staff came to the
conclusion that all pin ball games
which automatically pay of in coins,
slugs, tokens or merchandise, or for
which the player gets q prize from
the management II he makes q certain
score, are gambling games and in vio-
lation OF law.
Claw Machines Ban.
Claw machines had been banned
since March, when a number were
seized by police. Following disposition
OF the pin ball case. the court will hear
suit to test the legality of claw ma
chimes. The action was brought by
Mrs. Freda Boosalis, 1900 Park road.
owner Of three machines taken by
ofncers from the Shoreham Drug Co.,
Fifteenth and H streets, to recover
her property.
To support his argument that pin
ball Is game Of chance, Wilson pre-
sented q report from the Bureau of
Standards. where one of the machines
was tested.
Using vacuum release so as to do
away with the human equation, scien-
fists played pin ball game 500 times,
Wilson declared. The first 100 shots
were made with the plunger set at
"a inches. Seventy-three Of the
balls went into the "out hole" and
the others were scattered among five
other holes. With the plunger set
at different tensions, four other
groups OF 100 shots we're fred with
similar results. Then an expert
played the machine, making about
the same score as the automatic re-
lease and q blindfolded novice per-
formed with the same degree of sue
cess, Wilson declared.
These results. he said, prove con-
clusively that the machines are games
Of chance and should be seized as
evil chatSek.
Even should the court decide there
is an element of skill involved, the
devices still are gambling games if
used for gambling, Wilson argued.
He also contended that they are evil
chattels if they can be adjusted by
the owners so as to change the ten
sion OF the spring and thereby de-
stroy any skill acquired by the player.

He attributed this primarily to abb
sorption Of workers by private indus
try.
The District itself has been carry
ing the burden of the "unemployable"
relief cases since last November, these
cases being distinguished from the
employables, who are cared for on the
works programs, the cost Of which is
financed by the Federal Government.
The Board of Public Welfare re-
Gently advised the Commissioners
they should ask Congress. as soon as
it convenes, for supplemental direct
relief appropriation Of 100000 to
meet needs from January through
June.
Sum Held Insufficient.
Welfare Director Elwood Street told
the Commissioners the 81 500 900 ap-
propriated for relief for the entire
current fiscal year was insufficient.
He said the amount given to the un-
employables per month was too small,
and that there were many border
line cases" Of persons technically
classed as employables, but VINO could
not find suitable work, who should be
given aid.
Allen announced today the Com
missioners had called Street and We'll
fare Board members to appear before
them Tuesday to explain the need Of
the proposed supplemental relief fund.
At his press conference yesterday
Administrator Hopkins said that be-
tween January and August of this
year the total number Of families
and single persons receiving local
or Federal relief had declined from
4,756,000 to 3.833,0 900.
Citing the downward trend from
the peak load of 5,316,000 In January,
1885, Hopkins added:
There is no doubt that we are
over the hump. The normal increase
in the relief rolls for this time of
year, with Winter approaching, will
be counteracted by increased private
employment"
No Unexpended Balance.
Estimating monthly expenditures of
the Works Progress Administration at
about $3.50, 0,000, 900, Hopkins said there
would be no unexpended balance car
ried into the next fiscal year from
the $1,425.000.0 900 appropriated by the
last Congress.
He declined to discuss the possible
need for additional appropriations,
despite President Roosevelt's state
ment Tuesday that they probably
would be needed.
While employment under the works
program in the first half of October
rose $4,000 to 3,498. 900, Hopkins said
32,83l drought cases accounted for
most Of the increase.
Relief Load Reduced.
The total relief load for August OF
this year was 417,00o less than the
4,250,000 cases in August, 1885, he
said. despite the addition of 100000
drought emergency cases this year.
Declaring relief expenditures were
falling in the same proportion as the
number Of cases, he said that In the
month before election the w. p. A.
administrative staff had been cut by
1000 and that personnel cuts were
continuing.
OF the total employed under the
works program In the first Of October,
Hopkins said. 2,515.728 were on w.

conservation work and Se8,149 In

exercise to lose in the right places.
The reducer wants to know
why-exercise since it makes the
thin gain-doeS not also make the
fat gain. Here is the reason: Fat
is inert tissue which does not par
ticipate in the performance of ex-
ercise, and therefore does not grow
with it. The oxygenation Of che
tissues in exercise burns up ex-
cess flabby tissue and acts as a
weight normalizer.
Exercise helps the underweight
to gain through improved function
ing of the nervous system, and by
stimulating the appetite through
increased muscle tone.
Without proper exercise, the
weight gamer takes on adipose
tissue in the region of hips and
abdomen, rather than on the
shoulder girdle and neck, where
tissue is most needed. Conversely,
the overweight loses in the face
and throat, rather than through
| the hips and trunk.
The underweight exercise pro-
gram must stress arm exercises to
develop the chest and strengthen
the tricepS. Arm exercises are ex-
cellent for the entire upper por-
ton of the body, since they coun-
teract roundneSs in the shoulders,
normalize the chest expansion, and

You may think there Is moth
ing to be done about a Stringy
neck and narrow, underveloped
chest.
1t is incredible what changes ex-
ercise, correct postur and proper
breathing can make in a figure.
Another essential part Of the
weight-gainer's program Is exer.
else to strengthen the abdominal
wall. The reason fat Is added
first in the abdominal region is
that the muscles are weakened
and therefore especially suscept-
ible to fat storage. Since the
abdomen seems to be the first
place to accumulate new weight,
1t is of highest Importance that
the gamer protect her figure with
regular abdominal exercise.
Because Of our sedentary lives,
hips are the second place the
gamer is most likely to concen-
trate her store Of fat. Specific
exercise Is necessary to preserve
a slim hip line, strengthen the
muscles Of the thighs and efface
hollowS.
Here Is q warning which you
underweights must heed. Do not
get the impression that you can
add weight through exercise with
out an increase in your calorieS.
The calorieS must be above the
amount used up IN energy, in
order to provide the excess ma
terial for curves. Increase the
calories, or you will lose weight
instead Of gaining.
Overweights know the import
ance of daily exercise to direct
their weight loss. In addition to
the hip and abdominal exercises,
reducers need stretching exercises
to streamline the silhouette.
