Article No. 3

To date unemployment insurance in
America has been left-with one de-
cent exception-to individual initia-
tive, and this individual initiative has
not carried us fast nor far.
Unemployment benefit plans among
American unions have fairly long
but intermittent history. Some plans
had been introduced earlier, but the
depression of 1893-94 first stimulated
them on an extensive scale. Since
that time a number of unions have
adopted plans only to abandon them
later for one reason or another, usu-
ally because funds were needed for
other purposes. In Europe, where un-
ionism is more generally accepted by
the public and employers, and so has
funds can be devoted to various types
of benefits much more easily than in
this country, where it is frequently
necessary to drain the treasury for
strikes or organization expenses. At
least it has been the general record
in America that benefits are begun
in times of depression and allowed
to lapse when the depression has been
forgotten, with little attempt to put
them on firm insurance basis. Just
before the present depression Tin
1929 only about eight in every thou
were covered either by international
or local benefit plans of their unions
alone, and most of these were to be
found in the printing trades.
Unemployment benefits by joint
agreement between unions and en-
ployers are found only in the United
States. They grew out Of the reali-
zation that as it was extremely diff
cult for unions alone to put aside
money to pay them, employers should
also contribute. The first plan was
adopted by the United Wall Paper
facturers in that industry. 1t was
copied in no other industry until 1921
when the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers. Union in Cleveland
agreed to accept Is per cent reduc-
tion in wages on condition that en-
ployment be guaranteed for 40 weeks
year, with half wages paid for each
week by which work furnished was
less than this minimum season. Sim
liar agreements have been establish

LABOR PRESS
Benefits Trade Union Move
ment, Says Chester
M. Wright

Washington.-The Importance OF
the weekly and monthly labor press
in educating the workers and main
tanning trade union wages and con-
ditions of employment was empha-
sized by Chester M. Wright, mem
Der of the labor committee of the
National Advisory Council on Radio
in Education, in radio address here
on Labor and the News"
"Two principal missions confront
these newspapers and magazines, "
Mr.. Wright said. "The first is to
inform the union membership. The
second is to win the non-unionist.
"The editors in many cases are
trade unionists who, through painful
experience, have learned to write and
edit. Many are edited by newspaper
men who have gained and have turn
ed to trade union journalism out of
conviction.
Through this great agency Of the
labor press there comes to the organ
lied workers of the nation a steady
stream of information, covering a
field that grows more complex as the
machine aged advances to new con-
quests, in order that trade unionists
may be possessed of the special and
particular news that has to do with
work and with the factors and inf1u-
ences that make work good or bad,
that make it reality or something
to be hoped for, as it is with some
eleven million of our fellow Amer
leans.
"This labor press of ours can fight.
To the best of it's ability it marches
under the banner of industrial justice
and when it holds justice to have been
injured or outraged it can. / assure
you, go forth with the light of battle
in its eye and at times with vitriol
upon it's pen.
"But the labor press changes with
the change of surroundings and of
other institutions, as unions them
selves change.
And so today it is fair to say that
the battles are fought with more and
more reliance upon facts, with a pro-
found respect for research and with
desire and an ability to bring logic
to bear on the basis of discovered
facts.
"The labor press publishes it's big
news, perhaps the story of a kidnapped
leader, perhaps the story of a gain in
wages, as to which the late Samuel
Gompers used to say, There is more
in ten cents day added in the pay
envelope than is dreamed of in all
thy philosophy, o Horatio.' Perhaps
it is the story of ship blown up
because Of faulty mechanism, or of
those endless tragedies that lead to
the grave when scaffolds break or gas
explodes in mines. Perhaps it is an
address, or a court decision, or an
act of congress. Every week it is
Mr. Wright's address was one of a
series on labor problems given under
the sponsorship of the National Adj
visory Council on Radio in Educa-
tion, with the cooperation of the
Workers Education Bureau and the
American Federation of Labor, and
broadcast over the network of the
Columbia Broadcasting system.

addition, only one worker in 500 was
protected by company unemployment
benefits. There have since been one
or two groups Of firms which have
made plans to cooperate with each
other in insurance funds.
But how far can we reasonably ex-
pect employers to go of their own
accord? Are very many going to pay
this cost which can now be shifted
to the public and to the workers them
selves. A few may find it good busi-
ness, few may do it out of philan-
thropy. But these will continue to be
the exception, since it means taking
on an expense which their competi-
tors do not have. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to argue to the labor movement
that workers seldom have things of
this sort handed to them on a silver
platter
Anyway, contrary to what is argued
by Chambers of Commerce and Man
ufacturers' Associations, insurance
legislation does not seem to discour-
age private enterprise in this field
In 1880 England, with much
smaller population than ours, had
seven times as many workers cover
ed by private company plans in ad-
dition to state insurance.
Private experiment with unemploy-
ed insurance has given us useful ex-
perience. 1t has undoubtedly educat-
ed the public to the practical possi-
bilities of systematic protection
against the hazard of unemployment.
But there is general objection to
any of the forms yet tried in this
country as compared with state wide,
compulsory insurance. This is that
they are on too small a scale. For
to be secure, unemployment insur-
ance like every other type of insur-
ance, must cover so many individuals
that "luck" is ruled out by the law
of averages, and that no special
change in industry can upset the
whole fund. The permanence of
state fund is guaranteed by all the
employers and all the working peo-
pie of the state.
Company plans, union plans and
joint agreements can be discontinued
at any time, and many have been.
This means that the worker never has
feeling of being permanently pro-
tected against unemployment, though
that is one of the chief aims of insur-
ance And that insecurity is inherent
in small scale plans. One company
may become bankrupt, one trade may
become obsolete, one industry may
move away from a particular city.
But if all these possibly bad risks
are pooled with the good risks-the
growing industries and the new
trades-the workers of all are secure.
Nothing less than complete break
down of our civilization can seriously
harm the fund.

spsctaculum to SpectacIes

Artificial aids to the sight were in
vented (by Roger Bacon, the great
Thirteenth-century scientist and phi
losopher, and others) at time when
Latin was the universal language Of
all science and scholarship. Hence 1t
was natural that the invention should
be given a Latin name. Spectacular,
something seen or looked at, was the
name selected-"spectacle," show or
pageant, coming from the same source
Spectacular later developed into the
now familiar "spectacles."

The derivation Of this name is Of

used to pillage the border towns In
the Eighteenth century. The term was
later applied to all bandits.

IN RECALL CONTEST
Attorney Demands That Dunn
County Auditor Call EIec-

Dickinson, N. D., May 23.-(R-An
action to compel j. r. Cuskelly. Dunn
county auditor, to call a special cleo
ton to vote on the recall of State
Senator E. w. Jones of Killdeer has
been instituted in Stark county dis
trict court.
Joseph Coghlan, one of the signers
of petitions bearing over $500 names,
seeks a writ of mandamus against the
county auditor who, he claims, has
refused to call an election.
District Judge Thomas H. Pugh has
signed an order for the appearance
of the county auditor Tuesday to
show cause why he should not be
ordered to call the election.
The petitioners for the recall filed
|2,504 names for the recall and later
added 1854 signatures. Coghlan con-
tends that Cuskelly refused to call a
special election until the number Of
names on the petitions is first deter
mined.
Unless this court issues a writ Of
