years. For other salaried employees the per
iod required for union members is three years
and for non-unionists five years.
Because of these limitations the number re
ceiving benefits amounts approximately to
half the number registered at the labor ex-
changes, and to less than this proportion of
all those seeking employment. In June, 1927.
the total number to whom benefits were paid
amounted to $4,000.
A number Of factors are taken into consid-
GRAFTON in fixing the scale of benefits. The
country is divided into six belts and the aver
age earnings of all workers computed for
each Skilled manual workers and salaried
employees with a higher education (Class AZ
are paid one-third of the average earnings in
that belt; semi-skilled manual workers and
higher grade salaried employees (Class b
are paid one-fourth of the average and I'M
skilled manual workers and all the remaining
salaried employees (Class c. are paid one
fifth. This is an interesting compromise be-
tween the flat-rate system of benefits, ire
spective of earning power as in the British
system, and the payment of percentage of
individual earnings. Since the base upon
which the percentages for the three groups
are computed is cemrnon to all-the average
earnings of the belt-the amounts given to
each will vary So in Moscow Glass A re-
ceives S13 month, Class B, $3.50, Glass C,
$3.50 Since Glass C, however, when at work,
earned much less than Glass A, this in prac-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-10-28

tice means that the members of Class C re
ceive higher percentage of their earnings
than do Glass A. The average monthly pay
ment in March, 1927, to the unemployed in the
first group was $3.50; the average for the
remainder was $3.50
The usual practice of increasing the amount
OF unemployment benefits according to the
number of dependents is also followed. Those
with one dependent are given an additional
sum amounting to Is per cent of the sum paid
in benefits; those with two dependents are
paid an additional 25 per cent, and those with
three or more, 35 per cent. The entire amount
received by the worker in benefits, however,
must not exceed one-half of his previous earn
ings
The government and the municipalities
have also been making earnest efforts to pro
vide work for the unemployed not eligible for
benefits. The labor exchanges for most cities
have set up cooperative labor societies where
the unemployed can work for six months in
producing some articles, generally of a handi-
craft nature. At the end of six months the
workers are replaced by another set of I'M
employed. The expenses for this work are in
large part met from the sales of the products
but deficits are met from the government
funds, and these will amount for the year
l926-1927 to approximately $4,000, 900. Public
works, particularly railway construction, are
another means of absorbing the unemployed,
and an extra sum of $6,500,000 will be spent

Personal Disability and Old Age Pensions

a worker adjudged by the physicians of the
4 Commissariat of Health and the Social
Insurance Department to be so injured or dis
abled as to be permanently incapacitated is
paid a somewhat different scale of benefits,
depending upon the degree of permanent dis
ability and whether the cause was industrial
or non-industrial. There are six categories
for those who have been disabled from in
dustrial causes, with the following benefit
scales: % those who have suffered a total
loss of earning power and need some one as a
caretaker, 100 per cent; (2) those suffering
total loss of earning power but not needing
a caretaker, rs per cent; (3) those unable to
work systematically but only occasionally, so
per cent; (4) those able to work regularly but
with greatly lowered capacity SO 1/3 per
cent; 90 those able to work regularly but
with a loss of Is to 80 per cent earning ca
pacity 1928 per cent; CO. those suffering
loss Of less than Is per cent earning capacity,
10 per cent. Benefits are only paid to the
first three categories of those who have been
disabled from non-industrial causes, with
scale amounting to 66 2/3, "A 1/2, and 33 10
per cent, respectively. The average monthly
payments in March, 1927, for the first cate
CORY of those disabled from industrial causes
was S22.5O and SIT for the first category Of
the non-industrially disabled.
Those benefits also serve as old-age pen
sions. They are not paid automatically to
those who have reached given age yet are
still able to wol>. with undiminished capacity,
but are given to those who for one cause or
another have suffered either partial or total
loss of earning power Although the require
ment of eight years prior employment for
those over so who are disabled from non-in-
dustrial causes does debar some, in practice
most aged persons will be included, and the
benefits will be paid irrespective of the earn
ings Of son or other members of the family.

by the productivity of industry, of any coun-

Unemployment Insurance and Protection
T UNEMPLOYMENT is a serious problem in
- the U. S. S. R., as in other European
countries. On January 1, 1926, the 281 labor
exchanges showed total of $4,000 out of
work. This rose to 1,25OO00 in December,
1926 and to 100000 by March, 1927 In
that month the unemployment rolls were
purged of those who had found other employ
ment and by virtually dropping those who had
not previously been employed for hire. This
caused drop in April to a registered total
of 1,055,000, which decreased to $4,000 in
july but this does not include the UNEMPLOYED
in smaller towns where there are no labor
exchanges. That this number is large is
shown by the fact that on April |. 1927, L.
774,000 trade unionists, or 1871 pei. cent of
the total union membership, were unem-
ployed. Since the unemployment among non
trade unionists is doubtless higher proper
tionately than among members, it is probable
that at least 100000 Russian workers are
unemployed. These are very largely unskilled
workers, primarily recruited from the peas
ants who have recently come to the towns.
This movement to the towns, induced as it is
by the higher economic and cultural standards
of life among city workers. is probably the
chief cause of unemployment, since the migra-
tion to the city is greater than urban industry
can absorb.
1t cannot be denied that unemployment is
one OF the most serious problems which the
government faces. To meet it the govern
ment has adopted three methods: unemploy-
ment insurance; starting special projects to
give work to those who lack it and education
of the unemployed
The most highly qualified workers and
juveniles just entering employment are paid
benefits without any prior condition of en-
ployment but this is required of all others.
For non-highly qualified manual worker to
receive unemployment benefits, he must have
been employed for hire, if a union member,
for at least one year; if not a member of a
union, he must have been employed for three
