pending amendments has resulted
BY JOHN C. HENRY.
The House Rules Committee today
tabled a request to give preferential
status to legislation amending the
Walsh Healey Public Contracts Act
Chairman O'Connor said no record
vote was taken.
John L. Lewis, chairman Of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton, had appeared personally at the
Capitol yesterday to lead the fight for
approval of the legislation.
The committee action leaves sus-
pension of the rules on the House floor
as apparently the only possible means
of getting the bill to a vote Such
procedure would require two-thirds
vote of the House and would hinge
also on recognition to submit the sus-
pension motion.
House Has Full Program.
Standing as barrier to such pos
sibility was a full program outlined
today by Speaker Bankhead for the
House. Starting with the wage-hour
legislation, the House is scheduled to
consider also the work-relief appro-
priation bill, flood control legislation,
and nearly a dozen measures being
brought out under special rules.
There may be some suspensions of
rules later" the Speaker said, but
this program is coming first"
Speaker Bankhead said he knew of
no plan to gain consideration of the
Walsh-Healey amendment under sus-
pension of the rules, but declined to
say the legislation is dead
The action of the Rules Committee
today climaxed 48 hours of terrific
pressure from the c. l. o. on behalf
OF the legislation. AS the committee
deliberated over its action this morn
ing, five representatives OF the c. I. O.
awaited the result.
They were 1t. Gov. Thomas Ken
nedy, vice president of United Mine
Workers; Lee Pressman, counsel to
the G. I. O.: E. L. Oliver, executive
director Of Labor's Non-Partisan
League; Gardner Jackson, also of La
bor's Non-Partisan League, and Judge
M. j. Musmano of Pittsburgh.
Representative Healey, Democrat,
Of Massachusetts,, sponsor of both
the original law and the pending
amendments, appeared briefly before
the committee to ask the rule. He
said he had not decided whether to
ask suspension of rules and force
q test on the House floor, but it
was considered certain that either
he or some other proponent of the
legislation would make such a re-
quest before adjournment.
Two members of the 14-man Rules
Committee were absent this morning,
these being Representative Dies, of
Texas, and Harlan, of Ohio. botf

Grafton of Labor, the Ohio Commission
on Rehabilitation of Physically Handi-
capped has appointed subcommittee
to meet with the Industrial Commits

mems compensation law, relieving the
employer of a physically handicapped
person of direct liability in event of
further injury, which the Commission
believes would materially strengthen
employment opportunities for dis
abled workers.

State Representatives George Harter
and w. H. Whetro, and Senator E. M.
Steele.
The Commission decided to solicit
the aid of the Social Security Board
at Washington in obtaining legislation
providing financial assistance for
physically handicapped persons be-
tween the ages of 18 and IS, after
definite recommendations had been
determined.
The next meeting of the Commission
will be held in Youngstown May Z.
Physically handicapped men and
women in that city and surrounding
area are invited to attend the meet
ing and present their particular prob
lens to the Commission for discussion.

STATE WAGNER ACT
SEEN BY PHILLIPS

Cincinnati, o. (OLNS).-Philip G.
Phillips, National Labor Relations
Board director for the Ninth Region,
with headquarters here, last week pre-
dicted that Ohio and other state leg
islatures would adopt and localize the
Wagner Labor Relations Act in a
comparatively short time.
His prediction was made in an ad-
dress before the Workers Educational
Club, after he had expressed the be-
lief that the Act would be eventually
accepted by capital and labor as a
means of ending difficulties, many of
which are not now necessary.

JOB Insurance.:
WHAT 1T MEANS
BY CHARLES S. LEASURE
Chairman Unemployment Compensa.
ton Commission of Ohio

(This is the first of four brief ar
ticles on the Unemployment Compen-
sation law of Ohio. Many of your read
ers are protected under this law and
will be interested in what it will do
for them and your community
In December 1886, the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Act was signed by
Governor Martin L. Davey and writ
ten into the statute books of this state.
Thus there came into being a law
bringing to the bread winners of this
state greater security against unem-
ployment and it's consequences.
Immediately following passage of
the law, the Governor appointed
three member commission to admin
lister the act. It's members represent
the public, employers and labor re-
spectively. Since then operation of
the state wide unemployment insur-
ance system created under this law,
has accumulated total fund in ex-
cess of $4,000, 100000, and brought un-
der it's protection million and half
workers, including those in this
county, who may participate in the
fund after January /.
Unemployment compensation as
you probably already know, is nothing
more than insurance on your job. The
state provides the policy, the employ
ers pay the premium, and you are
the beneficiary if you meet certain re-
quirements. 1t provides weekly cash
payments for you if you lose your
job. These payments come from a
fund made possible by collection of
a payroll tax levied on employers. The
payments are small in comparison to
what the worker may usually earn,
but they are large enough to tide him
over until he gets another job. AS
the text books might express it, "un-
employment insurance is financial pro-
lection against economic insecurity"
While it is not touted as a cure-all
for unemployment, the aid it provides
for the worker costs him nothing and
he gets all direct benefits. To
claim his benefits, a worker goes
into the nearest unemployment COM
pensation office or place designated
by the Commission, where he regis
ters as unemployed and applies for an
other job. 1t will be three weeks be-
fore he can receive benefits. After
that time, if by his own efforts and
those of the State Employment Ser
vice, he has been unable to find work
which he can reasonably be expected
to accept, then his out-of-work pay be-
gins.
An unemployed person receiving in
surance payments for loss of his job
is obviously greater asset to the
community than one seeking relief.
Even though the amount Of expendi-
lures he can make per week may be
considerably curtailed in comparison
with the amount he customarily spends
when employed full time, his "half a
loaf" is much better than none.
HERE'S WHY-The benefit check
will keep him off the relief role; local
unemployment will be reduced and
the burden on local taxation will be
eased because it will tend to cut down
relief appropriations; the unemployed
worker will have some money to spend
for the necessary things of life. hence

Need PdY-Hour Bill
To Curb Wdge-Cuts

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-The
report on the wage and hour bill
which Chairman Mary T.. Norton of
the Labor Committee has given to the
House makes an urgent plea for the
passage Of the bill.
Summarizing the features of the
measure-the gradual raising of
wages and lowering Of hours through
three-year period, the absence of
any privileges to any section or in
dustry, and the absence of an admin
istrative board-Mrs. Norton declared
that relief demands on state and Fed
eral governments will continue unless
private employers pay wages suf-
ficient to cover at least the bare cost
of living, Mrs. Norton went on:
Government cannot indefinitely
provide what is in effect subsidy for
such employers-a subsidy made nee
essary by the inability of the great
majority of such employers to main
tain fair labor standards in the face
of wage cuts by chiseling competitors.
"The need for it's enactment during
the present session of Congress is
urgent. In the last few months there
has occurred an alarmingly sharp de-
cline in business activity.
"With that decline have come the
inevitable wage cuts which the great
mass of American business men SO de-
plore but are powerless to prevent.
These business men know that wage
cutting sets in motion a vicious spiral
Of defation, which, if allowed to
gather sufficient strength may threat
en- the foundations of government it.
self.
Low Pay Burdens Governments
During the last few years unpre-
cedented demands have been made
both upon the Federal and state gov
ernments for relief and work relief.
Unless the wages paid by private en-
ployers are sufficient to maintain the
bare cost Of living, such demands
will necessarily continue.
"The payment of oppressive wages
is not only detrimental to Interstate
commerce and to the health ond we'll
being of employees and employers, en-
gagged in interstate commerce, but
also casts a direct burden for the sup
port of such employees upon govern
ment."

Without his benefit check, the un-
