WASHINGTON, Nor. 14. The gov
srument haa lt own secret unem
ployment figure. Only top officials
see it. Ordinary
g o v e r n m ental
statisticians are
never permittee:
a glimpse.
It runa a lit
tle higher than
the p u b 1 1 a lied
figures, especially
those of the
American Fede
ration of Labor.
A few days ago
It stood at about
10,700,000. .
Authorities on
PAUL MALLON
fcha subject believe the secret fig
ure la only slightly more accurate
than the published ones. All are
largely guess work. Even the A. P. of
. Zj. la now revising Its estimating
system. No adequate unemployment
figures exist.

A top-notch economist here has
made a private check of the rela
tionship between employment and
unemployment since the new deal
started.
His estimate Indicates that unem
ployment In March, 1933, waa 18,000,
000 and In August, 1035, about 11.
100,000, a decrease of 3.900.000. But
employment Increased from 34.800.
000 In March, 1933, to 39.500.000 in
August this year, an Increase of
4,700,000.
What it means Is that, while
4,700,000 more people are working,
there are only 3,900,000 fewer unem
ployed. The disparity Is due to the ln-
creasing number of employables who
J never have had work. The number
of employables la supposed to have
increased about 3,000.000 since 1929.
Another phenomenon of these new
unemployment figures is that this
year they will average aa high as
last year In spite nf alt the busi
ness Improvement. The best - expert
guess Is that for 1935 the average
will be 11.500.000. (The average has
been 11,750,000 so far). The average
for 1934 also was 11,500.000.
n,i in iooo tVi averairn was
3,000.000 and In 1933 a peak of
13.000,000 was reached.
The biggest decrease In unem
ployment was during the first seven
months of the new deal, when
4,000,000 persona were put back to
work. There has not been any com
parable Improvement since.
Note These figures are based on
an adjustment In the 1930 unem
ployment census and carried for
ward. They have not been published,
but are considered by some econo
mists to be more accurate than most
of those which are published.
) Bolld economic articles by ex-
Director of Budget Lewis Douglas
have attracted so much attention,
as published by a monthly maza
rine, that they are now being printed

A total of $13,56S.(M was raised this

While the campaign has officially

The executive committee has been
