ROLLS Of JOb[ESS
CUT BY 100000
Government Economist Says
About 9,25O,OOO Are
Now Out of Work.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
A leading Government economist
estimated today that business improve
ment since June has reduced unem-
ployment by 900 900 men and women.
The economist, who declined to be
quoted by name, but whose figures are
relied on by several agencies, figured
there were 10,250,0O0 persons out of
work in June and about $3.50 600 now.
On that basis, about one-fourth of
the persons who lost jobs in the
recession have been re-employed After
reaching peak of more than IA 000,-
900 in the spring of 1888, Federal
statistics show, unemployment grad
ually dwindled to 100000 in the sum-
mer of 1887.
Then the recession boosted unem-
ployment about 100000 to a total of
10,400,000. The economist estimated
that seasonal work last spring cut the
total 100000 by June
w. P. A. Pay Rolls Rising.
While unemployment has been
shrinking, w. P. A. pay rolls have been
rising The lists went up from 2,8O6, 900
to about 3,120 000-a record-at the
beginning of October. Officials said
this rise was caused by the fact relief
appropriations were inadequate until
new funds became available July /,
and then it took time to enroll those
eligible for aid.
An indication, however, that the
administration was looking to early
w. P. A. decreases was seen in state
yesterday. The Secretary, comment
Ing on the General Motors recall of
$4,000 workers and on other re-em-
ployment, said:
Lessons Relief Burden.
1T not only opens up the oppor-
tunity for self-reliance through pri-
vate employment, but lessons the
relief responsibility of the Federal
Government and opens the way to
improvement in the budget situation y
About s20OO.OOO,OOO of the $9,O00-
100000 budgeted for Federal eXpendi-
lures this fiscal year is for w. P. A.
The relief cost thus amounts to halt
the estimated $4,000, 900 900 deficit
Since July l W. P. A. has spent
t669, ,706,7l of the $2,663 ,568021 Fed
eral expenditures In that time the
deficit was 79,443986
In the similar period last year

RADIO APPEALS LEAD
TO EMPLOYMENT OF $50
Only 1872 Have Been Interviewed

Broadcasts.

More than $50 jobs filled by the
District Employment Center can be
traced directly to personal appeals
made by applicants through Station
WRC, according to officials Of the
bureau, who today again reminded
employers this is Employment Week.
Only 1872 persons have been inter-
viewed in the special radio programs,
but so effective have been the broad
casts that immediate response by en-

nearly three times that number.
In an effort to reduce the unem-

sending 10000 folders through the

FACTORY PAYROLL
 INCREASE IN FEB.
Secretary of Labor Per- kins Reports First In=
 crease in 4 Months

Washington, March 23.-(UP)- Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins reported today that factory employ ment payrolls increased in February for the first time in four months.
 The secretary estimated, however, that generally there had been a de- cline of employment of approxi- mately 100000 workers in non-agri- cultural jobs between January and February.
 She added that this was the smallest decline in three months, however, being sharply lower than the loss of 100000 in employment between December and January.
 She estimated that the total num- Der of employees in February was about 100000 under the same month last year, but added that un- employmenft is not as bad now as it was at the low point of the de- pression.

authority were substantiated by proof, were not refuted and there- fore must be accepted as true;
 co Arthur E. Morgan was con- tumacious in refusing to give the chief executive the facts, if any, upon which he based his charges of malfeasance against his fel- low directors, and in refusing to respond to questions of the chief executive relating to charges of obstruction made against him by his fellow directors. /
 Answer Only To Congress
 Arthur E. Morgan has repeated the assertion that he will answer questions only to a committee of the Congress. Obviously, there can be no objection to hearings before such a committee. But the Congress will, I am sure, realize that if any member of the eXe- cutive branch of the government, Of high degree or low degree, is given the right by precedent to refuse to substantiate general charges against other members of the executive branch of govern ment and to insist on disclosing specifications only to a commit tee Of the Congress, efficient ad- ministrative management of gov- ernment would be destroyed in short order.

Contumacy Forms Basis
 For Morgan Discharge

Washington, March 23-(UP)- The text of President Roosevelt's congressional message regarding the Tennessee Valley authority follows:
 To the Congress of the United States:
 I transmit herewith for the in- formation of the Congress my opinion setting forth the reasons which impelled me to remove Ar thur E. Morgan, and my letter to him removing him, as member and chairman of the board of the Tennessee Valley authority.
 I further transmit the opinion of the attorney general in regard to my power to remove for cause members of the board of the Ten nessee Valley authority.
 Transcript Of Hearings
 I also append the transcript of the hearings which were had be- fore me on March II, IS and 21, 1888, and which I think merit the serious consideration of all those interested in the IVA. I have filed my letter to Arthur E. Mor- gan and the transcript of the hearings, together with all ex- hibits marked for Identification in the transcript, with the secre- tary of state.
 It is clearly the right of the Congress to undertake at any time any fair inquiry into the admin istration of the Tennessee Valley authority or it's policies which the Congress may deem in the public interest. But I cannot in the meanwhile abdicate my constitu- tional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
 Presidents Findings
 I call attention of the Congress to the fact that on the evidence presented I was obliged to find that,
 (A) Arthur E. Morgan publicly made grave and libelous charges of dishonesty and want of in tegrity against his fellow direc- tors, and when called upon to sus- tain them repeatedly refused to do so;
 (B) On the face of the record charges of the other directors that Arthur E. Morgan has obstructed the work of the Tennessee Valley

MILK NOT BLAMED
 FOR FEVER SCARE
Investigation Proves Pa tient Drank Other Than
 Grade A Milk

Word has been received by Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health of- ficer, that the case of undulant fever reported in Waterbury at the last meeting of the board of health, did not derive from certified milk, as formerly reported.
 The health officer said today that it is extremely unlikely that the disease could be contracted from milk of certified herd. It was learned on fuller investigation of the Waterbury case that the patient had drunk other than grade A and certified milk, which placed a diff ferent aspect on the matter of the source of the infection.
 Dr. Godfrey felt that in justice to the producers of certified milk that the earlier report of the source of the infection should be extenuated.
 Weekly payrolls of factory en- ployes increased 2.7 per cent or about $3,800,O00, the secretary said. This gain is about half the normal seasonal increase.
 The secretary said that only 90 out of 22,000 reporting firms had made wage reductions.
 "These reductions" she said, "af- fected about 10000 employees, chiefly in cotton textile mills and in fac tories making silk and rayon goods, woolens, knit goods, rubber goods and Shoes."'
