Opposes Unemployment Insurance.

Samuel GOmpers, president of the
American Federation of Labor told
the delegates to the meeting of the
Civic federation at New York that he
was emphatically opposed to any form
Of unemployment insurance for the
United States. Any such system, he
declared, means recognition of unem-
ployment as permanent condition,
and he expressed the belief that un-
employment is cOntrollable and that
there is a remedy for 1t. He said:
I'm England unemployment insur-
ance has been a failure, because what
labor wants Is not insurance but en-
ployment. Another big objection to 1t
is the fact that such system would
subject working people to all sorts of
rules and regulations and ipvestiga-
tion and supervision"
The Owosso times., 1922-02-24
Reports Less Unemployment.

Reports from various localities indi-

man of the standing committee on the
national conference on unemployment,
said. Efforts Of cities throughout the
country, he declared, have done much
to mitigate the general situation, but
II business conditions remain the same
until spring the situation will depend
upon the severity Of the winter. ~

BERLIE FOR COUNTY CLERK

In this issue of the Censor. County
Clerk Rerlie Moore announces ibis cam
didacy for nomination to the Office of
county clerk to succeed himself. Ber-
lie has been connected with the Office
of county clerk for more than twenty
years, and during all that time there
has never been the first faint rumor
of inefficiency or irregularity in his
conduct of the affairs Of the Office.
Berlie is a gentleman of fine DISPOSE
ton and rare ability His long tenure
of the Office is due not to political pull
but to real merit. If it IS to be YER
mons policy to continue her efficient
men in Office, and we think this is the
wise and proper plan, then Berries
claim upon the Office is extremely
strong. Berlie has a good war re-
cord, and this isn't a bad thing for
voters to remember at election time.
