AMERICA'S UNEMPLOYED.

DEPUTATION TO PRESIDENT. THOUSANDS IN WASHINGTON. RELIEF PLANS EXPLAINED. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received January 8, 5.35 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Fourteen thousand unemployed, principally from Pennsylvania, to-day presented to the President, Mr. Hoover, a request - for immediate relief at an impressive gathering. Tho President replied: " Depressions and their results, like war, must be fought continuously upon many fronts. The fight cannot be won by a single skirmish or by the application of any panacea." Mr. Hoover said he believed the Government was now engaged upon a final campaign against depression, involving the expenditure of £100,000,000 a year above tho normal rate to provide employment. The unemployed, in appearance and behaviour—notably unlike the Communists who assembled on December B—were peaceable. They were complimented by many officials. Before leaving the city the men gathered at tho Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
