imposed for more than five years, by
the continuous introduction of labor-

such a revolutionary extent that the

cording to a survey made by the Van-

policy applied by Canadian cities and
munictpalities of requiring relief re-

ized unemployed to beg for job* at

The council contends that fair em-

petition of relief recipient* “who can-

To remedy chis situation the coun-
cil urges that all unemployed persona

that relief be kept entirely separate

"Whle this improvement in the
employment sitnation is encouraging,
little hope is promised as yet for the
11.672,000 who still have no place in
the normal induetrial or agricultural
work of our country. Our revised un-
employment estimate shows this num-
ber still out of work in November,
1935, after a reduction of only 909,-
000 in the army of unemployed since
November, 1934.
“While the Government is now pro-
viding emergency work through the
Works Progress and other adminis-
trations for 3,500,000 of those who are
without industrial employment, more
than 8,000,000 are entirely without
means of livelihood.”
In connection with his statement
Mr. Green submitted an estimate of
total unemployment in the United
States by years and months since 1929.
The estimate, compiled from Gov-
ernment records, shows that there
were 3,059,956 out-of-works in Janu-
ary. 1929. The number fell to 613.759
in September, 1929, and then rose by
leaps and bounds until the jobless
army reached the high peak of 15,-

point the number gradually decreased
until it reached 11,448,986 U9 October.

i Washington, a c. (AFLNS)—Rep-
resentative Vito Marcantonio of New
York announced that he would under-
take to haw* Congress instruct Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins ot ap-
point a board of inquiry to make a
sweeping investigation of the health
conditions imposed on workers em-
ployed by public utilities in construc-
tion and maintenance work.
A special aim of tbs probe will be
to expose the conditions of workers
employed in digging a power tunnel
at Gauley Bridge. West Virginia Mr
Marcantonio charges that on this
project, which was begun in 1926, a
total of .476 workers have djed from
silicosis contracted while working in
the tunnel and that 1500 others are
suffering from the same affliction.
Silicosis is a lung disease contract-
ed by mine and tunnel workers. It is
the result of breathing air landed with
silicate dust which generates a fibrous
tissue growth in the lungs. Gradually
the air ceils are choked off The fa-
tality rate of sllicoeia is high. It kills
young men after a number of years of
exposure and older men within five
years
The tunnel, constructed by the
Rhinehart A Dennis Company, a sub-
sidiary of the Union Carbide & Chem-
ical Company, runs through enormous
silicate deposits. It to claimed that at
times the silicate dust was so thick
the headlight of a mine locomotive
was invisible at a distance of five feet
Mr. Marcantonio chargee that a
small expense in applying well-known
and tested methods to prtect the
workers from the dangers of silicate
dust would have saved the lives of the
476 dead employes and prevented the
1500 others from contracting sill costs.
He said that 169 of the 476 “were

only gravestones and with no other

clared that, according to his informa-
tion. utility officials have shrouded
the entire tragedy in secrecy and have
even refused to permit widows to
claim the bodies of their husbands
in addition, it was alleged that the lo-
cal papers in the West Virginia com-
munity have printed nothing about the
deaths.
Representative William P. Connery,
chairman of the House Labor Com-
mittee. said he would cooperate to the
fullest extent in appotnting a sub-
committee to investigate the charges

From the inauguration of the NRA

Most to the controversies which
have been placed before the National
Labor Relations Board under the pro-
visions to the Wagner-Connery Labor
Disputes Ac passed by the recent
session of < Congress, are concerned
with thr refusal at certain types of
employers to recognize the right* of
their employ** u* or gani me in bona
fide unions and sedect representatives
for collective bargaining purposes.
In connegtion with the retusal to
recognise these fundamental rights,
the practtve of which the Act declares
it I* the policy of the United States to
encourage, there are the usual form,
to discrimination against union mem-
her, in terms to employment, which
the Act expressly prohibit*.
These un-American policies, quits
generally used by anti-union epaploy-
er*, are well illmtrated in three re-
cent complaints tiled with the Labor
Board.

The American Federation of Labor
challenged the legal right at the com-
pany to use the initials.
After presentation of the case by
attorneys for the company and the
Federation. Mr. Carnes ruled:
The evidence clearly shows that
the notation A. F L‘ has the same
significance as the notation 'American
Federation of Labor,' which is used a*
a name by the opposer. As a name it
serves the fumeticn of dtstingutshing
the association from other* of a simf-
ter character. It is therefore believed
that the use of this notation by the
applicant on whisky would be likely
to result in confusion at the applicant
with this association.
“Accordingly, the notice of opposi-
tion is sustained and it is further ad-
judged that the applicant I* not enti-
tled to the registration for which It
has made application."
