These men work in the midst Of
26 broadcasting outlets In Radio City,
which send out vast number Of mu-
slcal programs daily. They are on
duty from am. to IL midnight. They
live music, but never hear it in their
workshop unless somebody whistles a
snatch of some tune or other. They
are too busy supplying music for the
programs the music division builds. or
filling the needs of programs drawn
up elsewhere. One program alone re-
qulres an average of so complete Or
chestrations within a 48-hour period
each week. Many other programs
have requirements almost as extensive.
They are met, however, sometimes
with only seconds to spare, for, COL
lectlvely, the men in the library can
produce any given piece of music at
any given moment whether it is Just
for voice and piano or a full symphony
orchestra. They may not hear it, but
they have it.

New Castle, Pa.-The sanitary pot

we'll known winter sport, bowling. Lo-
cal 1885 first match was racked up
on the right side by some 13O pins
when the boys met the Athletic AS
ISOLATION.
Someone once said, "You never can
tell what's coming next" He certainly
knew what he was talking about. Here,
in the shop, we find some Of the men
banding together in small groups to
discuss things in general. A few seem
to be entirely ignorant of the program
of the N. B. Of O. P. as to collective
bargaining. Others, seemingly, have
no conception Of fair wage. Where
they attain their ideas has me stumped.
Undoubtedly they are, in the main,
men who can't abide by majority rule
and think their distorted notions
should be accepted by the masses. If
they are not, these men would rather
sulk by themselves than accept the
common ideas Of the majority.
Reports are heard that these men
pay twenty-five cents month for the
privilege of speaking their piece be-
fore other unsatisfed mortals, with the
promise that a Christmas refund will
be made if any money exists in the
treasury about that time.
Unfair and unjust wages and un-
sanitary conditions bother our friends
not a bit. "Where ignorance is bliss,
it is folly to be WISE" That is another
quotation which comes in handy at this
time.
We have been looking for word from
some of the boys in the Camden pot
terry. The shop has been taken over
by the Universal Sanitary Co., and we
understand a number of improvements
will be made. One report has tun-

Brighter Future
Seen By Grafton
Apparent Supply of Orders
Gives Festive Air To
L. U. SO Meetings

Grafton, w. Va.-Prospects for a
brighter future for the members of
Local Union No. SO are rapidly taking
shape with the continuation of the
placing of the upright kilns and the
apparent supply of orders at the pres
ent. Things were not so rosy few
months ago when we would work a
couple of weeks and loaf three, but
as my prediction of better work in the
offing in my last report is being full
filled, everyone is feeling much bet
ter and also much more amicable.
Some members have been recalled
to their regular jobs and if the de-
linquent members would only realize
their obligations to the local, our cup
would be running over But such is not
the case and we must forever be re-
minding some that they must pay their
dues or take the consequences.
We are making plans for a dinner
party in the very near future, an event
that has never yet taken place in this
local, although it has been on the floor
at our meetings several times, but due
to the meager turnout it never ma
terialized. This time it looks like a
sure thing with prizes, games, dane
ing, eats and maybe little bingo. We
will let you know how our first party
went over.

which last year went places. We ex-
pect to go even farther this winter

Unemployment Compensation Fund Is
Greeted By Tax On Employers Rolls

such as gifts, bonuses, tips, gratuities,
board and lodging.
For 1887 the rate was 1870, and
since January, 1888, the rate has been
2.7%, which rate remains in effect un-
til January 1, 1912, when merit rat
ing Of employers begins.
Liable employers, under the merit
rating system, will pay rates varying
from one up to four per cent on to-
tai wages payable to employees, de-
pending upon their past employment
record. Employers having the largest
employment turnover must pay a
higher rate than those with least en-
ployment fiuctuation.
To determine this rate, the employ
er's contributions to the unemploy-
ment fund are compared to the amount
of benefits paid to unemployed work
ers and charged to the employers ac-
count, as the difference between those
two figures relates to the employers
average annual payroll.
The merit rating provision in the
Ohio law was designed as an incen-
tive for employers to stabilize en-
ployment as much at it is within their
power to do so by riscarding the prac-
tice of building up large inventories
and commodity reserves, followed by
long periods of unemployment.
Since control of unemployment is
more within their power than anyone
else, employers are obliged to assume
the entire risk Of unemployment under
the Ohio law. Employees cannot con-
tribute to the fund under any circum-
stance, and no part Of the cost may be
