ing one OF the national topics
Of the day. the state of Wisconsin
il enjoying TO the fullest its unique
position in respect to such legisla-
ton. 1t was In Wisconsin. recent re-
search has disclosed, that unemploy-

a legislative way. 1t Is Wisconsin
that today has the only unemploy-
ment insurance statute in the Unit
ed States.
Although unemployment insur-
ance has become a national issue. its
early days, even In progressive Wis
consin. were not propitious.
Despite the fact that Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, the elder,
then was in the heydey Of his pro-
gressivism and was in complete con-
troll Of the state legislature. the IN
employment insurance resolution was
tabled in the midst Of derisive boots

maximum Of $40. The employe
may draw one weeks unemployment
benefit for each four weeks OF en-
ployment subsequent to the year
after inauguration date and prior to
the date Of lay-off.
The unemployment benefits are
limited to ten weeks in any calendar
year, and the extent Of the fund
limits the employers liability for
such compensation.
The state tries to oversee. but does
not underwrite the liability OF the
companies. An employe who is elig-
ible for benefits. but finds his en-
ployer's reserve fund ~insolvent. can
not sue the state for the benefits
The state merely acts as watchdog
and referee.

Responsibility or Industry"

The Wisconsin economists, in set
ting up their plan. insisted that pre-
vention OF unemployment was one
Of the responsibilities of industry.
and that the cost Of a failure to &C
complish such prevention should be
borne by industry. In this manner
those establishments which succeed
ed in stabiliZing their operations
would be rewarded over those con-
Germs which did not.
Since the Wisconsin law provides
that the unemployment reserve
fund OF each employer is TO be kept
separate from the fund OF every other
employed Cno pooled funds, the en-
ployer who does succeed in regular
izing his employment is in no wise
penalized for the failure of other EN-
ployerS TO do the same thing. II IS
this feature in the Wisconsin plan
which has won over MANY progress
Sive -minded induStrialistS in Wis
conSin and elsewhere, and has
weakened opposition to unemploy-
ment insurance In general.
DR.. Paul Rausenbush, former
University Of Wisconsin economist.
one OF the authors Of the Wisconsin
plan, and the present director Of its
administration in Wisconsin. recent
ly reported that he was receiving
excellent cooperation from the in
dustrialiSts Of the state. and that
they were accepting the law In good
grace instead Of offering the de-
termined opposition that had been
expected. More than 5000 employ
ers have come in under the provi-
sions OF the law since July i. cover
in more than SOC, 900 employees. An
advisory committee OF six, composed
OF three representatives Of 2
lied labor and three industriaIists
have been consulting constantly with
the administration OF the Law and
have helped to chart the policies Of
administration.

Not Insurance" Law

These economists insisted that 10
fit American conditions, an unem-
ployment insurance law should not
be strictly speaking, an insurance
law at all. They declared that under
shifting American economic condi-
tons and constant chronological i'm
provementS, unemployment could not
be completely insured against.
theoretically speaking. Wisconsin
economists insisted, there is no posi-
tive assurance that periods Of en-
ployment will balance sufficiently
with periods Of unemploym vt 10
keep any insurance" fund in a SOL
vent condition. The British unem-
ployment insurance fund, which was
established in 1911, was in debt TO
the government to the extent OF
$500. 900 900 by 1882, the Wisconsin
economists pointed out
But the main objection held by
the economists TO true" unemploy-
ment insurance was that 1t provid-
ed merely for the out-of-work, with
out making constructive steps toward
the intimidation Of unemployment.
The Wisconsin Plan" was the an
Swer 10 those criticisms.
Reserves and Compensation" Act
The Wisconsin law Is known as
the Unemployment Reserves and
Compensation act; very seldom is
the word insurance" mentioned at
all. 1t specifically provides that the
employer MAY NOT insure his risk
(of being forced to throw his en-
ployeS out OF their jobs with an in
surance company or fund. The Wis
consin plan Is built upon the prin-
ciple OF accumulating RESERVES or
savings for the compensation Of en-
ployes when unemployed.
Those reserves r accumulated
entirely by the employer. Neither
the state nor the wage worker con-
tributes to the reserve funds. The
employer Is required to build UP q
reserve Of SIS per eligible empioye.
When the employers reserve fund Is
once established, his further con-
tributions to the fund may be entire
ly avoided by maintaining a certain
standard Of regular employment for
all his employees.
Under this set-up not only is there
a limited insurance" against unem-
ployment for the individual en-
ployes, but employers have a def
mite encouragement to stabilize their
operations, and to prevent, as much
as possible, fluctuations in mass en-
ployment.

Finally Passed

The question that will face the
next congress is not whether 10 pass
unemployment insurance legislation.
but what kind Of unemployment in
surance legislation 10 pass. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has placed himself on
record as favoring measures which
will encourage the individual states
to pass their own unemployment in
surance laws. Such a law already
exists in the very state In which un-
employment insurance legislation
was first proposed and shouted
down.
IN q special session OF the pro-
gressive controlled 1881 Wisconsin
legislature an unemployment insur-
ance bill, after repeated fruitless in
PRODUCTION at previous sessions, was
finally passed. the first, and thus far
the only one in the country. After
two years OF postponement. the
measure finally went into effect In
July, 1884. It's operation Is draw
ing the careful scrutiny Of lawmak-
ers and public officials everywhere.

tons Of unemployment insurance

LANCASTER, Pa, October 24.-A
S per cent increase in all wages paid
hourly workers of the Armstrong Cork
Co., effective on November 3, has been
announced by H. w. Prentis. jr.. pres
ident of the company. Coincident with
the announcement of the wage in
crease. MIR. Prentis made public the
provisions of an unemployment benefit
plan for 1886 which has been ap-
proved by the board of directors OF
the company as means Of providing
a measure of protection to hourly
workers against loss of work in 1886.
Mr.. Prentis also announced that the
management has authorized the pay
ment on December "a, 1885, of a re-
troactive salary adjustment in an
amount equivalent to per cent Of
the 1885 compensation Of each sala-
ried employe who is actually in the
service of the company on that date.
Operating on a closely controlled
expense budget designed to keep our
expenses in line with conservative es-
innate of income and with the object
of preventing wide swings in fixed
compensation at various levels OF
operations, the management has had
in mind plan for retroactive adjust
ments in salaries which would be ap-
piled in the event sales income and
operating results in any given year
permitted such action" Mr.. Prentis
said Retroactive compensation is in
no sense bonus or profit participa-
ton but rather an adjustment of
salary solely for the year under con-
sideration to the basis that would have
been paid during that year had 1t
been possible to forecast operations on
the level actually realized.
Payable December "a.
In view of the operating results
during the past 10 months and the
outlook for the balance of the year
the management announces retro
active salary adjustment to be paid
on December "a, 1885"
Mr. Prentis announced that after
the increase in wages paid hourly
workers, the minimum rate for men
will be As cents An hour. which is Is
per cent above the minimum of 40
cents paid during 1929. While the
average hourly rate will be 1912 per
cent above the average hourly rate
paid in 1929. The minimum rate for
women now becomes SO cents an
hour-more than Is per cent above
the minimum paid in 1929.
The company believes in the prin-
ciple of the eight hour day and will
endeavor to operate its plants five
days per week for 40 hours.
The board of directors of the COM
pany also has authorized a plan for
unemployment benefits for all of its
hourly paid workers in the United
States for the year 1886.
The plan is necessarily expert
