that sealing ship was off the
 coast. decided 1t must have been a gun fired to guide some seamen who i had gone out on the fee. After a
 while they went back to their beds. Early Monday morning Bartlett aroused the fisherman with whom he boarded and told him that he had the island. The radio operator then dressed and hurried to his station,
 where he worked frantically for al-
 most four hours before he could
 raise the relay station on the main
 land and get through a message. When the station finally re- sponded, Bartlet flashed the news
 that disaster had struck the sealing
 ship. The flash reached St Johns at 10:40 a. m.-almost IA hours
 after the Viking had been torn to
 pieces and her crew killed or hurled to the ice.
 All day Bartlett sat at his key,
 scarcely taking time out to eat. His work was slow and hour after hour he fought static and inadequate the mainland the news of the disas- ter and the need for urgent help. Messages poured into the little sta- tion and he arranged system whereby he sent for half an hour and then received for half an hour plugging on throughout the day and night as messages piled up at
 both ends.
 Finally the government took charge and gave official messages
 precedence. On Monday night att mospheric difficulties increased his task as he fought off weariness and exhaustion, sticking at his post un- til day without leaving the office. Food was brought to him, and he carried on through Tuesday until nightfall, when it became apparent
 that the relay station at Completion could not cope with the situation. Arrangements were made for sta- tions at Twillingate, Port Albert and Little Bay to take Bartlett's mes- St Johns. But there was no one 1 to relieve Bartlett in his barren lit- tie office on Horse Island, watch ing men staggering in from the ice floes in such pitiful condition that he must have forgotten his own weariness.
 He had no relief and only oc- casional maps, without leaving the office, until midnight Teusday, when the minister of posts and telegraphs sent through an official order for cessation of traffic to Horse island "to relieve Bartlett of duty until 10 a. m. Wednesday,"
 Bartlett was at his desk at a. m. Wednesday and opened the con-
 nection again two hours earlier than
 ordered by the ministry. At mid-
 night the ministry ordered him to
 rest again.
 But Bartlett's greatest task was achieved. 10 He had brought seven
 rescue ships, loaded with supplies
 and doctors, to the ice pack off Horse island. The ships had picked
 up several small groups of surviv-
 ors who otherwise would not have
 reached safety. The wounded and
 exhausted men on the island could
 know that Bartlett was responsible
 for bringing food and medicine. l At St Johns and the relay stations
 the operators commented on the
 ability which Bartlett had shown,
 saying that despite his exhaustion he
 had been courteous throughout the
 ordeal and often replied personally

 This, so-called model plan more over places the entire cost of pro- viding unemployment insurance up on the employers, a method which exists nowhere else in the world ex- cept in Soviet Russia.
 ''The Mastick-Steingut and Amer ican Association for Labor Legisla- tion proposal in common, with other compulsory unemployment insur- ance schemes, places 8 basically economic problem under political control, leaving to the shifting dis erection of vote-minded legislators the control of such vital points as amount of payment the to the fund. amount of behefits, and duration of, benefits"
