AUTOMATIC INSURANCE
FOR BRITISH WORKERS
Takes Care of Unemployed
Who Get Under R25O.

LONDON, Dec. 29.--Eight millions Of
British workers become automatically
insured against unemployment under the
Unemployment Insurance act of 1920,
which has just come into operation.
This new act extends compulsory insur-
ance against unemployment to practi-
cally all persons in receipt of remunera-
ttion not exceeding $3.50 a year.
After q waiting period" Of three days
of unemployment beneficiaries become
entitled to 15 shillngs per week for
men, IL shillings for women. ~ shil-
lings for boys under is and shillings
for girls under Is.
TO qualify for benefit an insured per-
son must not quit his or her Job without
good cause and must not have been dis
charged for misconduct or have gone on
strike There must also be no refusal
Of a suitable job offered. and should
dispute arise on the question OF "sui.a-
bility" the insured person may appeal
TO a court Of referees. Not more than
any one insurance year.
Employers are free 10 set up insurance
schemes of their own giving equal or
greater advantages. The state rate cf
contribution to such special schemes or
contracts will not exceed 30 per cent
of the amount paid to the general
scheme, as IL is taken for granted that
in Industries with insurance systems OF
their own the rate of employment will
be lower than in other trades.

FOOTING IN DOMINIONS

London Market.
FOOTING IN DOMINIoNs

LONDON. Jan -b.-Apprehensions OF a
world wide meat control by American
hacking firms were disclosed in re-
cent report to the Board Of Trade by a
subcommittee of the Standing Com
mittee on Trusts.
AT present the American meat COM
panies have nearly 60 per cent. or the
beef output from Argentina and Cru-
quay and about rs per cent. OF the ca
pacity of the meat plants built or build
ing in Brazil" the report stated. More
over, they control nearly one-half of the
whole trade OF Smithfield (the great
London meat marilet). and they have
also a solid footing in Canada and Aus
tralia.
Fears as. TO the extension OF their
activities are not confined TO the United
Kingdom. but are equally strong in the
dominons." it continues.
THE more they may be able to ex-
tend their operations in South America
the more they may be able to divert sup
plies from reaching the United Kingdom.
and the more they are able to control
distributive business here the more Sc
curely they will have the British con-
sumner in their grip"
Suggestions were made by the COM
mttee to restrain, by taxation and by
subsidizing refrigerated shipping COM
panies. the expansion OF foreign inter-
ests here, and an International investiga-
ton was recommended to go into the
whole situation with a view to taking
common action. 1.
A rejoinder to the committees find
ings was made by r. II. Cabell, the
London manager Of Armour & Co.. who
in an interview with a Press Associa-
ton representative. complains that none
Of the American firms were heard by
the committee and charges that the lat
ter's report was compiled under strong
prejudice"
Several passages in the report show
clear but very i'll informed animus
against the American firms" CabeIl
states. particularly in it's reference to
Argentina. No one would guess from
the report that the Chicago packers en-
tered the Argentine trade at the request,
almost at the entreaties, of the British
firms, which had opened up the terri
tory and had paid heavily for their ex-
perience and were anxious to be bought
out"
Mr. Cabell suggests that part Of the
supposed animus disclosed in the report
Is due to the reluctance of certain Brit
ish firms to compete with the Tess
wasteful and more efficient methods Of
their American rivals" and he says the
only effect of the report must be to raise
meat prices all over the United King

CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-A famous Chicago

Ave years has housed the Board OF
Trade, is to be torn down. Structures OF
the architecture of its generation have
been disappearing rapidly in the last ten
years and giving place to modern sky

year the board, which is the hub of the

moved to temporary quarters. the old
building torn down and a new twenty

MANY CHILDREN ARE
STARVING IN RUSSIA
+. j. Libby, Agent of Friends
Society, Back From Reval,
Brings Report.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-Frederick j.
Libby, Commissioner Of the American
Friends Service Committee (Quakers),
who recently returned from Reval.
brought back information that many
children are starving in Russia. Mr..
Libby obtained his information from
Arthur j. Watts. an English Friend,
who has been engaged in relief work in
Russia. Mr. Watts gave Mr.. Libby a
translation Of the reports Of Russian
commissaries from various Russian
cities. 1t is upon these Mr. Libby bases
his information.
1t appears from the commissaries' re-
ports that the situation of the children
varies greatly in the different centres.
In some cities, such as Vitebsk, it is re-
ported by the commissaries that whole
families are perishing from starvation
In others, such as Smolensk and faro-
slav. the children are reported to be
obtaining sufficient nourishment. The
report from Vitebsk stated that the
bread substitutes give the children
chronic dysentery which 1t is impossl-
BILE to cure. The commissaries reported
that in several centres the children had
been unable to obtain bread for long
time and that in others no kind OF fats
or meats were obtainable and that milk
was received rarely.
The children Of Moscow were de-
clared to have no sugar nor fats and
were reported to be either starving or
falling ill due to undernourishment. In
mates of the children's homes in Nov
gorod are starving. the reports stated.
They receive no meat, butter, potatoes,
milk or salt, but live on a daily portion
of sour cabbage soup, millet cooked in
water and black bread made from bad
flour. They are suffering from scurvy
as a result of undernourishment.
The children in the schools or the
Bashlxir Republic are reported to be In
rags, barefooted and hungry.
