D. c. PENSION BODY
STARTS STUDY OF
VARIED PROBLEMS
Appointive Members Take
Office at Private
Ceremony.
ACTION WILL PRECEDE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND
Is Applicants File for Job Of
Director-U. S. Approval Must
Be Given Plan.

Facing a total lack of funds for ad-
ministrative personnel, the District
Unemployment Compensation Board
took office today and at once started
study of its work and search for an
executive director.
The two appointive members took
oath of Office at private ceremony
at a meeting Of the Board OF Com
missioners. They are Daniel j. Gala
han, veteran business executive, Who
was named a representative OF en-
ployers, and John Locher, president OF
the Central Labor Union, appointed as
the representative of employees. The
other three members, designated by
the law itself. are the three Commits
sioners-Melvin c. HaZen, George E.
Allen and Lieut.. Col. Dan I. Sultan.
The board lacks funds for admin
istrative purposes due to failure Of the
third deficiency bill.
Payments Begin Next Year.
Payment of the employer taxes and
the District contribution to the COM
pensation fund does not start until the
first of next year, but the board men,
bers see the need of immediate action
because of the tremendous amount Of
detailed arrangements which must be
set up and approved by the Federal
Unemployment Compensation Board
before the District program can be
started.
I'VE now have our board, but as
yet no money" said Commissioner
Hazen. However, we will start at
once a study of the provisions Of the
law and survey possible candidates
for the executive director. who will
have a whale of job on his hands.
AS to that, we have reached no con-
clusion as yet"
Commissioner Allen was the only
member not present today. He has
gone to the West on a vacation.
Whether the appointment of direc-
tor will be delayed until his return
was not stated.
John A. Marshall, now District
superintendent of insurance. has been
suggested for the director of the new
board. All told, there are some is ap-
plicants for the job, but officials say
some apparently thought the position
would be that Of a board secretary,
and for this reason many do not have
the proper qualifications.
Must Adopt Plan.
The board must adopt a general
plan and a series of policies, subject
to Federal approval, before it is
ready to administer the law. One is
the establishment of registry of the
employed. Another question is an ar
rangement for collection of funds
which must be contributed by the en-
ployers and a system for accounting
for workers who lose their employ
ment.
The employers are to be assessed /
per cent Of their pay roll for the cal
endar year 1896, 2 per cent in 1887
and per cent thereafter until 1941,
when these assessments may be low
cred to is per cent or raised to per
cent, depending on the compensation
experience of employers.
The District government is directed
to contribute 100000 in 1886, $125,-
900 in 1887 and $175,000 in 1888, with
later decisions to be reached as to the
District contributions thereafter. The
first benefits are to be paid in 1888.
