 Ito persons in whose behalf con subsequent therto, shall on retire fhent at age 65 or over after 200 weekly contributions, be 10 per cent ($15) of the first $150 aver- age monthly wages upon which contributions have been paid.

 the first 200 payments made with in the first five years of member ship in the system, but not to ex- ceed one per cent for each year of membership after the qualify ing period of five years"
 Voluntary old age annuities: these would be sold by the gov ernment as they now are Issued through commercial insurance companies. They would offer persons not included within the compulsory system a systematic and safe method of providing for their old age but it could be used also by insured persons to sup plement their old age income un- der the compulsory system. Pre- miums as low as $1 a month were suggested by the committee for a minimum annuity. The maximum annuity would be $50 a month.
 The committee suggested a study for the feasibility of government toward annuities for persons now middle aged or older with incomes of less than s2,500 a year. That would aid farm owners, tenants, and other small-income, self employed persons who might be as much in need as employees eligible for the compulsory annuity plan.
 Security for children: An initial appropriation of S25,000,000 prob ably rising ultimately to $50,0OO,- OOO, to enable the federal gov- ernment to contribute one-third of the cost of state mothers pen- sions laws. The committee also recommended meeting part of the costs of transportation, hospital |ization and convalescent care of crippled and handicapped children. Risks arising from i'll health: the committee recommended a na- tiohwide health program largely fi- nanced by state and local govern ment but with federal financial and technical aid.
 1'he committee said it was not prepared to report at this time on health insurance.

Federation Of Labor Offers Twelve Point
 Legislative Program
Sixteen More States Needed to Ratify Amendment Old Age Pensions, Unemployment Insurance Also
 Included in List of Measures to Be Sought

A demand for ratification of the Child Labor amendment is the outstanding feature of a 12-point legislative program announced to- day following a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the State Federation of Labor at Hartford. The bill being framed will siso prohibit the employment of any child under 16 or any person under IS If the occupation Is hazardous or dangerous to health.
 2S FederatiOns Active
 Twentv-eigfif state federations of labor will lead the fight in Their respective states for the approval of the child labor amend ment to the Constitution. Twenty states have so far voted approval and sixteen more are necessary. Connecticut is one of those which have failed to ratify.
 The first point in. the bill IS concerned with the old age pen- sion bill sponsored by the Old Age Security league, which is also favored by the federation. The bill carries an age limit oh 65 with payments of $7 to- $lO weekly and a 10-year residence restriction.
 Unemployment Insurance Urged
 Them ployment insurance admin istered by a board of five com missioners who will act as unit but will be stationed in the i've cities where there are now com pensation commissioners, IS the second proposal.
 Payments will be from state fund, workers to receive one-halr the wage previous to unemploy- ment for 40 weeks of the year but not before being unemployed seven weeks. Payments by em- blowers into the state fund will range from 2to per cent of pay roll depending on the amount oI unemployment in a given indus try.
 As the third point bills are be-. inR prepared which will prohibit the employment of any person more than 40 hours 8 week or eight hours a day. A fourth bill ia being prepared under this head limiting the prohibition to women and minors, as MT Egan said, the feeling is that the first and pre- ferred bill may not be constitu- tional.
 The fifth point comprises sev- eral changes in the Compensation Act which are being drafted, one of which is a proposal to- havo 66 2-3 per cent of wages rather than 50 per cent paid to total
 The sixth proposal Is for rati- fication of the Child Labor Amend ment by the Legislature.
 Repeal Intimidation Act
 A move will be made to repeal the intimidation act, used often during strikes, and to prohibit the imposing of injunctions before the parties to be enjoined have an opportunity to be heard by the court, the two aims being the

 Washington, Jan. 17-(UP)- President Roosevelt's committee on Economic security today recom- mended a system of unempIoy- ment compensation. old age secur- ity and aid for children. It pro- Tvided: 1. Maximum unemployment compensation of $15 a week.
 2. Three categories of old age pensions ranging from $15 to $60 a month.
 States would administer unem- ployment compensation. The com mittee recommended that the un- employment compensation system gressional enactment of:
 1. Legislation creating machin- cry for federal participation in administration of unemployment compensation.
 States would administer the com- pensation system. assisted by the federal government.
 The committee recommended 6 three per cent pay roll tax to be effective Jan, 1, 1886 but said states could assess -sfts against em. ployers alone, or against employ- CTS and employees with or without contributions from the state.
 If general economic recovery fin the first two years beginning next Jan. 1 is not satisfa ctory, the com mittee suggested 0 lower tax rate but said it should attain three per cent by 1888.
 Employers who employed four or more persons during any IS week period of the taxable year would be liable to the assessment. E The committee opposed exemp- tions for any specified industries but recommended separate na- tionally administered system of unemployment compensation for railroad and maritime workers.
 Employers who paid unemploy- ment compensation contributions to state authorities under state law would be given credit against the federal tax up to 90 per cent. x On the basis of three per cent contributions, the committee be- lieyed tho maximum benefit period would not exceed 16 weeks and should be reduced to IS. It said workers long employed without drawing compensation might be given an additional week for each six months of employment during which they had not received bene- fits.
 The committee recommended a waiting period of four weeks be- tween loss of job and first pay ment of compensation benefits.
 The federal government would receive and invest all social in- surance funds. A social insurance board would be created within the labor department to administer the federal unemployment compensa- ton act and part of the old age security system.
 TO supplement the latter. the committee proposed that the gov ernment sell to persons with an- nual incomes of $2,500 or less de- ferred life iannuities nc. cost bas- IL. These would guarantee the purchaser q definite life time in- come. probably beginning at the age of 65 years.
