Unemployed Will
File Claims For
Relief Benefits
Representative Of Service To
Meet With Local People
For Registration

Steps are being taken by the Mary
land Unemployment Compensation
Board to obtain cooperation with the
relief administration to prevent dup
lication Of payments by the two or
ganizations. In other words, the task
is to see that those who are entitled
to collect for unemployment do not
get public pay from two sources.
The first two weeks after the filing
of a claim are required for inquiry
and confirmation and the drawing Of
checks. The law requires that claims
shah be first registered in the EN-
ployment Offices but the manner Of
payment is left to the Judgment OF
the Board. Therefore, the Board has
decided to pay by checks which will
be mailed direct to the benefciaries.
Age is 20 bar to claim otherwise
covered by the law. Nor is lack of
American citizenship a bar.
In order that all unemployed per-
sons may have a convenient oppor-
tunity both to register for employ
ment and file clamis for benefits,
a representative of the Employment
Service will hold registrations as
follows in Montgomery County:
The District Office in Rockville, Md,
will be open for registration daily ex-

1887 Year of Prosperity

1887 Year of Prosperity
Prosperity did come. Business did
average z per cent above 1886. This
rast August the Babsonchart stood at
s per cent above Normal, higher than
it had been for seven years. But after
Labor Day the squall, which had been
brewing all year, suddenly struck.
High taxes, political muddling, labor
agitation, and thin stock markets
created tornado of distrust and fear.
The result has been one Of the sharp
est business declines on record. Tho
Babsonchart is now 10 per cent belo s
Normal.
The current gloom will continue to
hurt business during the early months
of 1888. But while activity will aver
age at least Is per cent below the
first quarter of 1887, it should not fall
much below current levels. During
this discouraging period the base for
a resumption of the upward trend will
be laid. The Spring rally in 1888 will
be much stronger than seasonal.
Good 1888 Trend
By next Fourth Of July, business
should have recovered from third to
half of its late 1887 loss. The reviv-
! al will pick up momentum during the
second half. How far it will go, it is,
OF course, impossible to say now.
Nevertheless, as long shot, it would
not surprise me if the 1887 peaks
were equalled before next Christmas!
Because of the poor first quarter of
the year, the average of general bus
iness for 1888, however, will be
slightly under-roughly 10 per cent
below-the average for 1887. The inn
portant point nsxt year is the trend
A poor start (but not much lower
than current levels), an improving
second quarter. and then a sharp up
ward surge during the final four OF
five months is my idea of the 1885
business pattern.
Business Needs "Relief"
In making these estimates I am
counting on cooperation from Wash
ington. A year ago my optimism for
1887 was tempered by the labor issue.
said: "If this issue (labor) is not
handled properly, business could re-
ceive very rude setback" Now am
tempering my 1888 optimism by say
ing that Congress must cooperate
with business or this present slump
could continue for some time.
Many of our current troubles come
from fear and distrust. They are
largely psychological. Congress today
must treat business as doctor should
treat peurotic patient. Scolding,
harsh diets, enemas, and the like are
"out." A few sugar-coated pills in the
garb of kind words and complete
rest from new laws is the prescrip-
tion which Congress must write foI
business.
1p Congress Will Help s
am quite confident, too, that Doe
Montgomery County sentinel., 1937-12-30

tor Congress will help his patient. No
one is quite SO shrcwd an appraiser
of public sentiment as the average
Congressman. When he has his Gears
to the ground" he is as keen as a
robin hopping about lawn listening
for worms. The solons were home for
several months this Fall, getting their
constituents reaction to reform"
Legislation. So with every Congress-
man and every third Senator up for
reelection this coming Autumn, be-
lieve that business will be given the
psychological relief that it needs from
Capitol Hill.
The biggest aids could be tax re-
vision and utility "armistice." The
Undistributed Profits Tax will be
thrown out in everything excep,
name. New tax measures win be
passed, easing up on capital gains
levies and perhaps cutting down on
the high income bracket assessments.
A lot of talk will be heard about a
general sales tax, but it will not be
passed. Extending the income tax into
lover brackets will be proposed, but
killed.
Spending To Continue
look for truce between the Gov
eminent and the utilities. More farm
control legislation will be passed, con-
tinuing the huge federal farm out
lays. Wage and hour legislation may
&c on the statute books, but in mild
er form than originally proposed. The
President will get only crumbs from
his Government reorganization pro-
posal. Generally speaking, the mari
tai status of Mr.. Roosevelt and his
big. Democratic Congress will reach
the legal separation stage-just short
Of Reno divorce proceedings.
The increase in unemployment re-
lief and new pump-priming measures
will keep public expenditures at a
high level. Budget balancing cannot
now be hoped for until the end of the
1939-40 fiscal year at the earliest.
Hence, the trend of the past five
years toward initiation will continue.
It is vital that everybody remember
this. Just because initiation is not
making headlines now, do not con-
clude that it is not making headway
Initiation is the biggest factor in the
long-pull business and investment
outlook todayl
Prices To Increase
Initiation is not simply a domestic
issue. It is worldwide influence. It
is one of the reasons why I look for
some increase in prices in 1888. Tho
sharp drop in both farm and indus
trial commodities since August makes
it easy to forecast the price trend
next year. Sensitive commodities
should begin their rise some weeks
before business. They are at, or close
to, their bottom now. But l doubt If
the 1887 commodity price peaks win
be broken next year.

substantial revival. Do not confuse this
current sharp recession with major de-.
preston! PayrOlls, prices, stocks, real
estate, and jobs should all be on their way
to new highs by the end of 1888.
This December presents tremendous
contrast with year ago. Then, the old
year was riding into the history books on
great wave of optimism and hope. "Good
times" lay over the horizon of 1897. The
dark years of 1929-1935 were drowned out
in hurricane of wage boosts, dividend
