Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-11

ting as committee of the whole,
even though the bill will not formally
come before the Senate for action
until 1t has passed all three of it's
readings in the House The House
spent about two hours on the bill
yesterday afternoon. but progress was
slow due to the fact that only
small number of copies of the bill
were available for both houses today
and this is expected materially to
speed up its consideration.
Like So Much Greek
Much of the bill is admittedly like
u t so much Greek to a many of the
a,snbers, who are getting their first
.aese CT leg. station and the legal ter
anthology used in bills. The lawyer
cembers of the House and Senate,
however, are giving the bill careful
,tudy. while Attorney General A. A.
;. Seawell. who wrote most of the
oill and who then took it to Wash
ngton and checked it over carefully
with the legal division of the Social
Security Board, is sitting with the
House during its consideration Of the
measure as a committee of the whole.
Since Attorney General Seawell Is
probably more familiar with the en-
ire Federal Social Security program
md the various accompanying laws
han any one else in the State, it is
expected that he will be of great as
Sistance to both the House and Sen
.te during their consideration of the
bill.
The official title of the bill is AN
>ct to Provide for the Establishment
nd Administration of Unemployment
,onlpen Sation'.. and the short title
y which it is officially designated is
e Unemployment Compensation
aw."
The bill provides for the creation of
commission of three members to
"a: and decd upon all disputed
aims and to administer the law as
iTected in the act, two of the mena-
~: to be appointed by the Cover
u and the third member to be the
ate Commissioner of Labor. The
Governor must also designate one of
he members as chairman. One of the
o full-time members of the COM
issicn will be appointed for term
tWp NGdl Tic OLIlcI lOI d term Oh
years. but whoever is appointed
succeed the member appointed for
Q two years term will be named for
years, thus providing for over
piping tenure. The salaries of the
nmissioners shall be fixed by the
vernon and the Council of State.
Two Divisions
The bill further provides that the
':lm ssion shall set up two coordina-
I divisions, one to be known as the
nth Carolina State Employment
,.vlce Division, the second to be
own as the Unemployment Com
'nsation Division, and that each of
csc divisions shall be a separate
it as to personnel budget and du-
rs. but under the general control
{ the commission.
The bill goes into great detail con-
'rning the duties of the commission
d set sup rules and regulations and
Divides that all the personnel en-
Dyed by the Unemployment Com
nsation Commission shall pass ex-
,nations and be selected on the
as of fitness and efficiency and
at no temporary appointments shall
made for more than six months
Itil such examinations have been
ven and passed. This provision is
keeping with the national Social
ecurity Act, which puts all employ
on civil service basis.
Heated Debate Likely
1t i expected that some of the
ections of the bill will give rise tc
ONE rather heated debate at times
'ut the fact that any material change
light endanger the vality of the bill
expected to cause it to be passed in
pretty much the same form if is il,
| now.
