Immediately after the church serv-

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!
Plea to Cut J0bIess Tax Rate
May Cite Stable Employment
Discretionary Authority for Board to
Rerise Levy on 6-Month or Yearly
Basis Due to Be asked.

Relative stability Of private en-
ployment in the District will be used
as the basis for an expected plea that
the District Unemployment Compen-
sation Board be given discretionary
authority to vary the local unemploy-
ment compensation tax rate on a six
month or yearly basis, it was learned
today.
The initial variation presumably
would be downward if conditions dur
ing the first half of 1888 bear out the
expectations of officials of the local
compensation administration.
Consideration of such a step, it was
learned, arises out of the accumula-
ton of District reserves greater than
any expected demand for unemploy-
ment benefits, condition believed
to be unique with the District where
private employment depends so di-
rectly upon the stable Government
operations.
On an arithmetical basis, the situa-
tion Is about as follows:
Evening star., 1937-11-11

Employers now paying a 2 per cent
tax on the wages of their employees
are expected to turn in about S4,0O0,-
900 to the District fund during the
present year. Last year, on / per
cent basis. they contributed approx
mately s2000,000. Next year, with
the tax rate scheduled to increase
to per cent, they would contribute
approximately s6,0Oo,oOo.
With the fund already standing at
about S5,000,000 and due to reach
S6,000,000 before any benefits are pay
able after next January /, it is believed
unnecessary to compel local employers
to continue paying S6,000,000 yearly
to the earmarked fund.
The basis for this reasoning is that
the maximum benefit which any in
dividual may receive in a single year
is s240, or SIS weekly for 16 weeks.
A top figure of eligible unemployment
here is believed to be 10000 persons

Higher Wage Scale.

Radio Station VOL was forced OF
the air this morning by strike OF
seven technicians who belong to the
American Radio Telegraphers' Asso-

The strike was called after nego-
tiators had failed to reach an agree
ment on proposed contract submitted
to the American Broadcasting Co.,
operator of the station, by the union
on November S.
The principal issue in dispute. it was
said, relates to the wage scale for the
technicians. The union is asking q
scale ranging from $496O to $92. 20
per week, the same scale that prevails
at WOR, the broadcasting company's
principal New York station. The COM
pany refused to meet this demand, it
was said.
The scale of wages now being paid
the men was not Immediately avail
able.
Company officials asked that several
other clauses in the contract be re-
vised and another contract submitted
The broadcasting company refused
to consider any further demands on
the part of the operators until the
station is put'back on the air. Opera
tors declared they would continue the
strike until the contract demands are
considered.
