UNITED STATES UNEMPLOYED
TAXES FOR RELIEF,
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. Mr William Green, president of the American Federation of Labour, in a statement has asked for Federal relief for the unemployed by funds raised by taxation. He declares that all other agencies have failed. Approximately, 8,300,000 were unemployed on January 1, and the average unemployment for 1932 probably will be between 6,000,000 and 7,u0u,000. It is estimated that he will require between 3,500,000,000 and 5,700,000,000 dollars to feed, clothe, and house the unemployed at the bare subsistence level.
