U.S.A. UNEMPLOYED
WINTER RELIEF COST. [BY CABLE—PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] WASHINGTON, September 2. In a report made by the President’s Executive Council, they declared that 5,000,000 families, containing about 23,000,000 persons, must be provided with relief funds during the comingwinter. This will be an unprecedented cost to the Federal Government. The report pointed out that there is a steady increase in the cost of living. The cost of living is now estimated to be 20 per cent, above the low point of depression. This increase has made more generous doles to the unemployed necessary. Coincidental with this startling information, the Department of Commerce has published a monthly survey showing an unusual decline in nearly every field of business activity during July and early in August, with employment payrolls off by more than the usual seasonal amount.
