Senate group asks oath on unemployed survey
A Senate commerce subcommittee moved to hold public hearings on a national unemployment survey despite White House objections. The survey would aid planning a federal minimum hour program for interstate workers. Unemployed numbers are estimated around 9 million by the National Industrial Conference Board and the American Federation of Labor, though not person by person. Secretary Perkins noted March employment at 34,198,000, a gain over 1933, while construction remains far below 1929 levels and transport and utilities lag. A push exists to move idle enumeration into the 1940 census, and a second group will meet Perkins on Wagner act provisions tomorrow.
