movement, The New York Council of

or occupation are the striking points
of the new bill to be sponsored by the
Council which for three months has
been conducting a persistent and de-
termined campaign preliminary to
launching the final drive for the bill
itself which is regarded as sort of
unemployed charter, a declaration of
rights of the jobless.
The terms of the bill provide that
the funds to be paid will be raised
through SO per cent charge on in
dustry and so per cent charge on
the government. The share of the
government to be secured by means
of graduated excess profits, income
and corporation tax.
In making public the details of the
plan, John Di Santo, secretary of the
New York Council of the Unemployed,
declared that sufficient interest has
already been aroused by the prelim-
mary discussions on the subject of I'M
employment insurance to indicate
that the coming campaign will become
one of the historic issues in American
labor history.
