Buying on the afternoon recov-
cry, however, was light, the mar
ket as q whole following the same
familiar pattern Of previous SEES
sions of the week. The continued
delay In the railroad wage nego-
tiations was clearly a deterrent to
speculative activity and few trad
ers were willing to be caught on
either side of the market with
large commitments.
This restraint was intensified by
the reluctance Of public buying Or
ders TO come into the market even
when prices looked the strongest.
Most buyers appeared to be on the
sidelines waiting for something

On the bond market fearful in

Must Protect Bencfactors
Industry and business, which
get complete benefit out Of labor
when times are good, should
make some provision for protect
ing labor when times are bad.
such a plan ID fundamentally
sound. OF course, there can be
raised against II many objections
like seasonal unemployment, etc.
But these objections can be ironed
out. The principle stands.
About Is large concerns, one
of which Ia the General Electric
company, already have plans of
this kind. About 20 Industries
here In Baltimore are already at
work on such plans.
Various plans have been put
forward. There are details OF APP
pllcation, of course--such as the
system, proportion and source of
contributions to the fund that
must be worked out. But far
seeing business men realize. Its
necessity.
However, neither this nor any
other plan can stop recurrent un-
employment. At intervals, hard
times are bound to come. But
when hard times, do come such a
plan would help out and alleviate
the situation until good times re-
turn.

sons out Of work In this country
without tremendous pressure be-
ing brought to bear upon congress
to do Something about It. II busi-
ness and industry, don't accept this
responsibility, government will.

densome plan will be forced upon

or both--will do 1t and are very
likely to apply measures that
would be a huge drain on our
treasury and foreign to American
standards and institutions"
Richie said.
As for relieving existing unem-
ployment distress, Governor
Richie believes this the duty Of

that they will be able to do It
with their own relief funds-ccr

Baltimore, Md.-The problem OF
Americas 100000 jobless rests
squarely on the shoulders of busi-
ness and industry.
Business and industry should
make provision for caring for their
employees In times of depression.
II they do not accept this re-
sponsibility, congress or the state
legislatures may be forced by pub
lie demand to enact some sort OF
governmental unemployment insur-
ance plan which would be as bur-
densome on taxpayers as the dole
system that now weighs upon
England.
These are the views OF Cover
nor Albert G. Richie, first major
presidential candidate to an
nounce for that office. They were
expressed by Maryland's demo-
Garlic chief executive, four times
elected to that office, in an exclu-
sive interview here.
These are preventive days"
Governor Richie began. "There

measures, prevention of accidents

Maybe we can't prevent unem-
ployment, but we can do some
thing to alleviate It when 1t comes.
I'VE do have periods Of re-
curing unemployment. Mr. Hoover
says we have passed through 1b
major depressions In the past CEN
fury. II we didn't have un-
employment we wouldn't have

and the like. t

~ think we should look ahead
with reference to mans job In
the same way that We look ahead
to. other things.
1.-THE best method that / know
of In to set aside some kind Of in
surance reserve when times are
good no when forced unemploy-
ment comes we will have that to
draw on.
There are two ways this can
be done:
1.-THE federal or state govern
ments can raise or contribute to
such a fund.
Industry Gun raise such fund,
with labor contributing It's share.
Various European countries
have found that a government un-
employment insurance system, or
a dole. Is fearful burden on
the taxpayers. Such plans have
drained the treasures In Germany
and England.
I'VE don't want anything like
that. We want to avoid 1t.
