I ity reserves from federal taxation.
3 Tho Endorsement Of a model state
compulsory unemployment insurance
measure.
Win Get Nothing.
According to the model bill--tte
Ohio bill-the worker now at the
bench will receive no protection in
case Of unemployment before the eT-
phatiCn CT more than one year. II
he is discharged for misconduct
that is for talking organization or carr
rying on activities-he will get no in
surance. Agricultural, professional,
government and domestic workers
will receive no insurance. The hum
dreds Of thousands of migratory work
ers will receive nothing.
The setting aside Of portion Of
company earning even after the ex-
piration of a year would provide only
the most miserable insurance, and
for q limited period Of no more than
Is weeks.
THE second proposal Of tax ex-
emption to companies means only
the putting Of mere taxes on the
workers and toiling farmers"
The model" bill is the Ohio bill,
which en1bodies all the bad features
above mentioned.
L. S. Government Resisfs
Demands
Unemployment reserves is what
the experts mean. This was put into
operation in the General Electric Co,
and resulted in tens Of thousands Of
G. E. workers finally landing at the
relief bureaus in struggle for relief
baskets.
The United States government is
resisting most violently any consider
alton Of unemployment insurance.
Rugged individuahsm, dignity Of
the American workmen' Green, Vol
81 Coz have been used as arguments
against unemployment insurance in
this country. But the collapse OF the
national recovery act and the appli
cation of the civil works program,
with the public works fund being
expended for war preparations, de-
mand a new measure by the govern
ment to delude the workers still
further.

the farmers strikes, the demonstra-
tons and marches OF the unemployed,

suuance bill is growing IN the A. F.

mand Of the National Convention

The committee Of LIBERAL experts"
is now on the job to help the Rern-
ment to get out of the necessity OF
adopting the Workers Bill. The
