 Compensation
 Is Explained
Light Thrown on One Sub- ject Coming Before
 Legislators Here

When the Territorial legislature meets in special session on Friday, March 19 to consider Social Secur- ity legislation, unemployment com pensation will play leading part. Incorporated in the Social Security Act, unemployment compensa tion is intended to act as cushion in future economic maladjustments.
 So that wider understanding of this phase of the Social Security program can be had in Alaska, Hugh J. Wade, in charge of the Alaska Office of the Social Security Board, gives the following brief explana- tion of unemployment compensation in question and answer form:
 QUESTION: Does the Social Se- curity Act inaugurate a national system of unemployment compen- sation?
 ANSWER: No, there is some con- fusion on that point. The act simply encourages the states and territories to pass unemployment cornpensa- tion laws by relieving them very largely of the burden of taxation and the costs of administration of such laws. Heretofore many progress sive states hestitated to pass un- employment compensation laws be- cause of the cost to employers which would handicap them in competi- ton with employers in states with out such legislation This problem has been eliminated by the Social Security Act and states are now able to pass legislation to protect their workers without penalizing their employers.
 Worker Security
 QUESTION: To what extent does Q state or territorial unemployment compensation law give the worker security?
 ANSWER: It gives him security in the sense that he can face loss of a job without fear of total loss of income. The dismissal slip does not cast him adrift in the sea of eco homie uncertainty. He knows that under system of unemployment compensation he will be able to bridge the period of unemployment with the small weekly income that will be paid to him as his right not as relief or charity
 QUESTION: What is this weekly income? How long does it last?
 ANSWER That depends upon the particular state or territorial law, which in each instance must be ap- proved by the Social Security Board Generally speaking, laws enacted to date provide that an unemployed worker after a specified waiting period will receive 50 percent of his regular weekly wage, with about $15 as maximum, for about 16 weeks a year. Paying benefits is only one side of the picture of the unemployment compensation sys- tenn. The other side lies in the function of finding jobs for every man who registers as being unem- ployed The most efficient system of unemployment compensation is not the one that pays the most bene-

page of all the wheels of indus ny By maintaining consumption, he payment of unemployment com oensation retards that stoppage md makes it possible for produc- jon to continue, even though at a slower pace.
 What is true of industry is true of agricultural labor and agricultur- al capital. Prosperity of farms and employment of farmhands depends on good city market. The city market is made up of purchasers who, in the main, are wives of in- dustrial and commercial workers. It is obvious, therefore, that weekly benefits of the unemployed factory and office worker will contribute to the stabilization of farm production and farm income.
 QUESTION: How does that af- feet the community as a whole?
 ANSWER: The fact that shops, markets and factories are kept open is certainly benefit to a commun- ity. The fact that unemployed men do not have to apply for public relief or private charity is cer- tainly of benefit to the community. But beyond these economic effects lies the greater psychological value, the effect on the morale of unem- ployed men and their families. One housand men in a community, out of work and receiving no unemploy- ment benefits, may contain within 1 them the germ of disruption for the community; one thousand men in a community, out oi work but receiv- ing unemployment benefits, contain within them the impetus to recov- cry.
 No ShiftIessness QUESTION: The claim is made frequently that unemployment com pensation will encourage shiftless- ness among workers, that men will prefer to remain idle and draw benefits rather than make an eff fort to find job. Is there any truth I in this?
 ANSWER: The assertion is ridic- ulous in the face of all American experience. The American worker is not a shiftless individual. Ameri- can standards of living, which have been the highest of any civilized nation, were built up by the Ameri- can worker. He and his family want the things the full pay envelope brings-a good home, good food, a radio, an automobile, new electrical gadgets for his home, and clothes that are in fashion. He is not going to give these things up for the plea sure of loafing.
 Nor should it be forgotten that implicitly in the idea of unemploy- ment compensation is the fact of employment. Workers qualify for unemployment benefits only after , considerable period of employ l ment, and the duration of unem- ployment benefits depends on a mans record of previous employ ment.
 QUESTION: Is the claim made 1 that unemployment compensation is solution to the problems of un- employment?
 ANSWER: No. The only solution is in employment at full time and at ] full wages. Workers prefer full pay envelope, industry prefers to keep its machinery going at full speed. Unemployment compensation was never considered a cure for unem- ployment even by its most ardent advocates. It is, however, important as the first line of defense against unemployment. It is applied on the sound theory, That half wages are better than no wages"

Look at the lineup of a pennant winner and you will most likely di1cover an outstanding catcher be- hind the plate Often he will be ti.e best catcher in the league
 It isn't a coincidence Take this years leaders, for example. In the National League, they are the Cubs and the Giants.
 Chicago has Gabby Hartnett, a veteran of 16 seasons, and still one of the best backStops in the game. A fighter all the way, he is an in- spiration to his teammates. More than that, he has the faculty of coming through with an extra-base hit when runs are needed.
 The Giants have had fine catch ing all season. Gus Mancuso was the mainstay until broken finger put him out. Manager Bill Terry was forced to gamble on Harry Dan ming who, except for an occasional relief job, had had little opportun- ity to work behind the plate. Danning needed only this chance at playing regularly to prove he was a high class catcher. Not only did he handle the pitchers well but he also came through with some timely wallopS. When Mancusco was ready to return to duty, Terry was hesitant about taking Fred Danning out. And Mancuso, re- member, was rated the ace of the National League catchers when the Giants won the pennant last sea- son.
 The New York Yankees have Bill Dickey-a clever catcher, who is at his best when the stakes are high. He was tops in the American League last season. He won the applause of the experts in the 1886 World Series. For nine consecu- tive years he has worked in more than 100 games season. His life time average at the plate at the start of the current season was .321. That is about his mark for the cur- rent campaign.
 Because he happens to be play ing with Lou Gehrig and Joe Di- Maggie, Dickey does not get his just due as an extra-base hitter. Only these two outrank him in driving in runs for the Yankees. Many ball game has been put on ice by Dickey after the big guns of the Yankees had failed to come through. He is the best catcher in the American League right now.

First Conference for Com ing City League Round
 Meets Tough Problem

With the second round in the City League Basketball season due to soon get underway, League Pres ident Jack Fowler has called a meeting of team managers for next Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock ill the Juneau High School.
 Several knotty problems are con- fronting the hoop moguls, the suc- cessful settlement of which will do much to bring the casaba season back to the full bloom of life, after weak fadeout to the first round. Hope for added strong competi- tion, the most vital need of the league. came with the strong belief that the Tallapoosa quintet would be on hand for the remainder of the season. In preseason drills the Sailor squad appeared to be the best rounded out aggregation to take over the maple, and it's loss for the first round was a stagger- ing blow
 But, with the Tallapoosa again sailing for the Westward on mail junket, it would appear that the punch is the old "one-two."
 With the Gutter quintet out of the picture, the leagues chief task would seem to lie in the strength ening or combining of the clrculL !, weak sisters" to make more than
 
 two team race of the next round end to do away with the lop-sided games that left the fans with an apathetic viewpoint as the first round progressed.
 Among the other chief problems to be taken care of at Mondays confab will be the drawing up of the second round playing schedule and of a practice schedule to pre- cede the opening of play.
 The first game of the next round will probably come about shortly after the fifteenth of this month.
