/. WHAT are the essential features of
" the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill, which makes it the only
real insurance proposal, as distin-
guished from those of the reformists?
will list ten points that distinguish
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill, points upon which we can
win the masses to us, to work with
us, fight with us to support our strug-
gle, to join our organizations. These
ten points are:
1. Whereas the fake schemes Of the
employers, reformists and social fas-
cists direct themselves only to future
unemployment, the Workers Bill pro-
vides for immediate insurance for
those now unemployed.
2. While the fake schemes all ex-
clude some categorieS of workers the
Workers Bill covers all those who de-
pend for a living upon wages.
8. 3. While most of the fake schemes
place burdens upon the employed
workers. the Workers Bill places the
full burden Of the insurance upon the
employers and their government
- 4. While all Of the fake schemes
contain provisions that could and
!, would be used for strike breaking,
wage cutting and victimization the
Workers Bill protects the unemployed
from being forced to work below I'M
ion rates, at reduced wages, or far
from home.
5, While all fake schemes place the
administration of the insurance in
the hands of the employers and the
bureaucratic apparatus controlled
from the workers themselves.
6. All the fake schemes provide for
benefits limited to starvation level,
fixed minimum which is also the
maximum; and this only for a few
weeks in a year Thereby being in
amount even below charity relief.
But the Workers Bill provides for
the entire period of unemployment
fnr full average wages, determined

according to industry, group and To-
cality, thus maintaining the STAN
dards of life at its previous level.
7. While the fake schemes estab-
fish a starvation maximum above
which benefits cannot be given, the
Workers Bill establishes a living
minimum, below which benefits shall
not be allowed to fall, no matter
what the previous conditions of the
unemployed worker.
fuse benefits to all workers who still
8. While an the fake schemes re-
have any personal property, forcing
them to sell and consume the pro-
eeeds of home, furniture, automo-
biles, ETC., before ttt- 1cs can come
under the insurance, the Workers
Insurance Bill establishes the bene-
fits as matter Of right, without
investigation of the workers other
small resources.
9. While the fake schemes limit
their benefits to only bodied
unemployed, the Workers Bill pro-
vides benefits for every form of in
voluntary unemployment, whether
from closing of industries, from
sickness, accidents, old age, mater
nifty, etc. In other words, the Work
ers' Bill is an example of true So
cial insurance.
10. Whereas the fake schemes all
try to turn attention of the workers
to the 48 different state governments
in an effort to split up and discour-
age the movement, the Workers
Bill provides for Federal insurance,
one uniform national system, fl
nanced through national taxation.
All proposals to the state legisla-
lures contain, the provision that the
state bills are only temporary, pend
ing the adoption of the Federal
Bill, which is demanded in the state
proposals,

The Red Cross and other relief agencies were cooperating in shei- tering and feeding the fire victims and no real suffering was evident.
 Typical of the plight in which many townsfolk found themselves was that of the Rev Edwin Crock er. pastor of the Methodist church. His church was destroyed. His home was levelled. And when he and his wife and baby appeared at a Red Cross dining room last night, a $5 bill and the clothes they wore were all they had in the world.
 Al heroine of the fire was Miss Margaret Davis, 24, the only oper- at0r on duty at the telephone ex- change when the blaze started. Though flames soon threatened the exchange, she stuck to her switch board, summoned several other operators, and spread a general alarm.
 .'It just got too hot and we stepped out" said Miss Davis in describing how she and the other operators abandoned the exchange only few minutes before 1t was enveloped in flames.
 Previously. one of the operators had recalled that dynamite was stored in a nearby hardware estab- lishment. Kenneth Rodick. hus- band of an operator, was notified and he reached the store and re- moved the explosive before the building was destroyed.
 With courage and energy char acteristic of down-easters. resi- dents to-day went philosophically about the task of restoring their stricken city, thriving trading center for 30 smaller communities.
 Mayor Harold V. Moore. his face bristling with a two-day stubble of beard. was personally directing re- lief activities last night. He said a millionaire had offered to lend the city every dollar needed to re- build 1t and "wait 15 years for his money"

assistants and many encouraging reports are looked for in the next few days. The city's lawyers, doc tors and dentists are said to be signing up as never before.
 The city's clergy are also solidly behind the drive and Rev John N. Lewis and Rev Eugene P. Cryne in charge of the subscriptions among the clergymen are about ready to report. This list will be published within day or two.
 Again today MT Allen urged the generous support of all Waterbur- ians for the fund, saying that it was never within the province of Wa terburian to uerform a more char itable act than to subscribe.

 Early this afternoon druggists from all over the state, including William J. Dunphy and Paul Kun kel of Waterbury, were gathering at the State Capitol for the hearing before the judiciary committee on the amendment of Sections 30 and 31 of Part 1 of the liquor control act. Druggists seek to be licensed the same as package stores. Now the law states that they cannot sell liquor except on doctors prescription.
 Of great importance to Water- bury are two proposed amendments to the state liquor control act in- troduced in the House to-day. Rep Michael Conner of Enfield asked that the bonds demanded for liquor permits be reduced from $1,000 to $200, while Rep oscar Dannenberg of Bridgeport requested that they be reduced from $1,000 to $20O. The amendments were referred to the committee on judiciary for fu- ture hearings, no doubt this week.
 The chances of Judge Miles F. McNiff of the Waterbury court of common pleas be raised to the status of full judge with salary of $7,50O appeared slim to-day when the Senate rejected the bill placing this court on 0 circuit basis simi- lar to the superior court.

Public Building Economies.

Just a few months ago. when the
presidential campaign was in progress.
criticism was voiced on the score OF
the elaborate public building program
under way in Washington. The great
structure housing the Department OF
Commerce was particularly cited as an
extravagance Those familiar with the
situation here in respect to Govern
ment housing we're aware of the neces-,
sites leading to the planning and erec-
ton of such buildings and felt that
the criticism was unwarranted. They
knew that the public work had been
seriously hampered for many years. in
fact practically since the beginning OF
the Government at Washington, by the
lack of adequate accommodations. They
knew that the Commerce Department,
for instance, was especially discom-
moded and scattered, and that the new
construction on Fifteenth street, the
first unit of the great Mall-Avenue
triangle group of public structures,
would be none too large.
Now it is reported that the Commerce
Building is crowded Ito its bronze
doors" The expansion of the National
Recovery Administration and the Fed
eral Home Owners Loan Corporation
during the past month has absorbed
every cubic foot Of space there. Some
of the older branches of the depart
ment, somewhat depleted by the econo-
mics in personnel, have been shifted
about to make room Tor this new in
flow. The administration cannot but
be grateful for the scale on which this
structure was designed.
With all the liberality of planning in
the provision for this now developing
Government housing equipment, it is
assured that by the time the whole
project is completed, even with the i'm
mediate emergency requirements abated
