GREEN DIRECTS PLEA TO WEALTHY Labor Head Says They Should Seil From Their Strong Boxes to Aid. In a statement on the unemployment and relief rituation, which was published yesterday in Labor, the official publication of the organized railroad employes of the country. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, called on the wealthy to sell "the contents of their strong boxes" If necessary to feed the hungry. He said the number of unemployed grown steadily larger since last January," and to prevent widespread starvation and suffering "we need to mcbilize as never before in our history." He saw no Indication that more than 11.000,000 jobs will be opened before Winter comes. He urged the shorter work day and shorter work week and supported the idea of "sharing the work." He would have not only labor but the public generally join In the drive to prevent suffering.

Reduction of Incomes. Mr. Green wrote: "The fourth Winter of unemployment draws closer. The number of unemployed has grown steadily larger since last January. Workers' incomes have been reduced by wage cuts and part-time work; their reserves, savings and investments have been heavily tsxed or exhausted: equities in homes end insurance have been lost by inability to continue payments.

"What to co for this Winter when expends will be higher is the question that confronts many workers. "To prevent widespread starvation and suffering, we need to mobilize as never before In our Nation's There is no indiciticn that over jobs will be forthcoming before Winter comes. The problem of relief must be tackled from new approaches. "This is a matter for consultation between the various groups cf the so that those who represent the needy may talk over po.sibiUties of various with those r.ho can give relief. The unemployed want a chance to earn their way.

"First, the normal sources of employment should be urged to go 011 a five-day week and shorter shifts so es to increase the number employed. Hourly WBge rates should not ba decreased. but should be increased proportlcnately with increased efficiency. Such an arrangement enables employers to share the costs of relief entailed in 'sharing the Work Spread Promising. "The shorter work week and the shorter work would practically give jobs to all and would put the whole social structure on a sound basis.

"Now is the strategic time for national leadership to institute the fivetia.v week and for regional co-operation to make the five-day week effective. No other policy for the coming Winter can prevent starvation and despair on a wide scale. "In the second place, opportunities ior exchanging services for shelter and food should be developed and organized. Many who can not give money would find such a contribution a personal source of helpfulness and gratification "In the third place, an appeal for relief contributions should be urged upon those able to give. No understanding person can enjoy the comforts of food and clothing unless he his given as much as he can to those destitute through no fault of theirs.

"Organized labor everywhere has a big responsibility for getting the needs of the unemployed before representative groups. The responsibility le In Itself an opportunity to secure a better understanding of labor's wants and needs and also to demonstrate the functions of a labor movement in a depression. "It would be well for each Central Labor Union to organize for participation in the community work to tske the initiative as well as to cooperate. "Labor has been giving more generously than any other incomes, savings, lobs, homes, food and understanding. "While labor will continue to do mere than its part, it calls upon those v.ith wealth also to give until they feel the necessary, selling the contents of their strong boxes.

Human necessity recognises no prior claim." JAIL PLUNDERED BY 5 CRIMINALS Cash. Guns. Liquor, Ammunition Taken and Keepers Locked Up. Bv the Associated Press.

Merger Approval Sought. The board of trustees of the Chest will be asked at their meeting tomorrow afternoon at the United States Chamber of Commerce to approve a merger of the Citizens' Relief Association and the Associated Charities. The board of managers of the former organization already hao asked that the Associated Charities assume the relief budget of the association, so far ai this budget is provided by funds contributed to the Community Chest, and the board of the Associated Charities has approved the proposal provided It meets with the approval of the Chest Walter S. Ufford. general secretary of the Associated Charities and who also acted as secretary of the Citizens' Relief Association, in announcing the plans for the merger yesterday called attention to the fact that the Budget Committee of the Chest on more than one occasion has raised the question of why the Citizens' Relief whose funds are disbursed by the Associated Charities, should continue longer as a separate unit in the Chest.

Mr. Ufford pointed out that the Executive Committee of the Chest has given its approval to the proposed budget merger, and It is confidently expected that the board of trustees at Its meeting tomorrow will ratify the recommendation of Its Executive Committee. In addition te receiving funds from the Chest, the Citizens' Relief Association has been made by the Board of Commissioners of the District the custodians of two funds at Its command One Is the "Inaugural Relief Fund'' made up largely of surpluses from concessions and balls in connection with presidential inaugurations. Under the terms of the trtist the income on the fund can be used only to supply fuel and clothing to the poor of the District. In addition ce.

tain annual grants have also been made from the Escheated Estates Fund'' or money left by those who die intestate or without heirs to claim their estates. Expenditures Audited. The association has received from the Inaugural Relief Funds about $2,500 a year. Grants irom the Escheated Estates Funds have averaged perhaps SI.000 a year. Expenditures of these funds are carefully audited by the auditor's office of the District of Columbia.

Should the Commissioners at anytime decide to dispose of these grants in a different way than through the board of managers of the Citizens' Belief Association liom tney appoint, there would then appear to be no reason for the continued existence of the Citizens' Relief Association provided the budget of the association is taken over as is now proposed by the Associated Charities with the approval of Chest. The present officers of the Citizens' Relief Association are Evan H. Tucker, president: Harry G. Mcem, treasurer, and Mr. Uflord.
