certain unmistakable charm is
present.
She has made a pleasant business

call a sort Of a continued Fannie

Measure Forces Employer
to Build Reserve for Each
Worker; Allows 10 Weeks
Compensation.
BY WALTER MONFRIED
NEA Service Correspondent

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 26.-Un-
employment can be controlled by
the state, Wisconsin lawmakers
believe, and on this theory the
state legislature has just passed
the first unemployment insurance
bill in the United States.
Advocated by Governor Philip
F. La Toilette, the bill, which be-
comes effective upon the Cover
nor's signature, is an "unemploy-
ment reserve measure under state
control, rather than straight unem-
pioyment insurance.
Its purpose is ito make certain
that by July 1, 1888, at least a
majority of the employees of Wis
consin will enjoy the protection of
fair and adequate systems of un-
employment reserves and compen-
sation."
Burden on Employer
The measure is strictly aca-
demic product, conceived by eco
Monies professors at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and the state
industrial commission. 1t was in
troduced by Professor Harold M.
Groves, a member both of the leg
islature and of the university
faculty.
Unlike the unemployment in
surance systems of Europe, the
Wisconsin plan compels neither
the state nor the workman to con-
tribute to the reserves; the en-
ployers must shoulder the whole
burden. -.
But each employer is responsible
only for his own organization; there
will be no pooling of the reserve
funds among the states firms.
The workings of the statute be-

Job Insurance Bill ApbrOUed
BY Wisconsin Is First in e. S.
THE WISCONSIN PLAN
IN A NUTSHELL

1. Employers must contribute
a portion of their payroll each
week until an unemployment
reserve of SIS per worker has
been set up. No employer will
contribute to any fund but his
own.
2. Employees may contribute
to this fund to increase its
benefits if they desire.
3. Benefits shall be paid to
unemployed for periods of not
more than ten weeks in any
year, unless employees have con-
tributed to fund.
4. Benefits shall not be more
than half Of the employees reg
ular wage, and shall not exceed
$40 a week.
5. Persons earning more than
$500 a year are not affected.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-26

come compulsory on July l, 1888,
unless Wisconsin employers then
employing in the aggregate of
715,000 employees. have established
voluntary unemployment reserves
approved by the state industrial
commission.
In the next eighteen months, en-
ployers are instructed to established
such reserves voluntarily. After
that time they will be compulsory.
Each employer will contribute 2
per cent of his entire pay roll until
the reserve for each eligible en-
ploye amounts to $55; the employer
then contributes l per cent of the
pay roll until the reserve for each
worker is $75.
That ends the compulsion upon
the employers part: if the work
men desire, they may voluntarily
pay any part of their wages into
the fund to increase its benefits.
Worker Gets Half Pay
Each employee under the plan be-
gins to share in it after two weeks
on his job. His credits accumulate
at the rate of one weeks unem-
ployment assistance for each four
weeks he is at work.
If the employee loses his job he
will be paid so per cent of his
weekly wage, but will not receive
more than $40 week for more
than ten weeks.
After that period the employers
obligation is ended, and the work.
man collects further benefits only
if the company's reserve has been
increased by employees voluntary
contributions. A worker who at
tends school during unemployment
receives ST. a week extra.
The reserve of company, after
it is once set up, can not be changed
for five years.
Aids Low Paid Men
Recognizing that the workers in
the lower wage divisions are most
affected by hard times. the legis-
lators included in the plan only en-
ployes receiving less than $1,000 a
year.
Exempted from the laws scope
are railroad men, farm laborers, do
nestle servants, persons working as
substitutes, persons receiving an
nual salaries (whose incomes are
thus fairly assured, teachers, part
time workers, persons engaged on
unemployment relief projects, and
logging employees whose jobs are
seasonal.
The law provides for the liability
of successive employers. An en-
ploye for whom a benefit credit has
been reserved may lose his job and
find another one.
In that event, the credit accumu-
lated on his previol job still re-
mains for him, but, naturally, it is
decreased with the first employer
and is built up anew under the Sec
ond employer. A worker who quits
his job forfeits all benefit privileges.
The state industrial commission
will supervise all workings of the
new plan.
The commissions secretary, A. J.
Altmeyer, says the Wisconsin plan
is in no way a dole system and,
technically speaking, is not unem-
ployment insurance. An insurance
plan, as Europe uses it, implies that
the state and the employee contri-
butte to the reserve; in Wisconsin,
only the employer is forced to.
