70, 900 File For
Jobless Benefits
About Is Per Cent Probably
Not Eligible. So Per Week
Average Pay.
Especial To The Post)

Raleigh, Jan. 25.-More than TO-
600 original claims for unemploy-
ment benefits had been filed by
workers in North Carolina through
the past week, the third week in
which benefits are computed,
Charles G. Powell Chairman of the
State Unemployment Compensation
Commission, reports.
These claims, each representing
an individual unemployed or parti-
ally unemployed worker, included
about $4,000 of workers who have
been laid off entirely in mass. Is
or more at the time and by one
firm; about 10000 who have been
partially laid off, also in large
groups of Is or more and about "a
600 individuals who are entirely or
partially unemployed.
Just how many of these will be
eligible for benefit payments finally
cannot be determined definitely
yet. Indications are that probably
one-third of them are not eligible
because they were not at work for
covered employers for the required
eight weeks in the first three quar-
tiers of 1887, or because they did
not report the second or third
weeks at the local employment Of
flee or to the representatives of the
Office at the designated service
point time and place. Unemployed
workers are required to report each
week to these Offices or points to be
eligible for payments.
Still others have returned to their
former work or to other work dur
ing the first two weeks, or by the
third week, and will thus not be
eligible for payments. Officials can
do nothing more than guess at the
probable number finally eligible for
payments at this time, but they
may run from SO to go per cent Of
those filing claims, which might
mean $4,000 to 100000 The maxi
mum benefits are SIS week, and
the, average may run around So a
week to the eligible workers. Bene-
fit checks will be delivered at the
Employment Office or service
points one week after the week
ends for which they are due, the
first probably on January 81.

small businessman against the huge
monopoly corporations which are at
tempting to bankrupt him and put
him out of business, the Governor
emphasized that while we have dis
covered the art of creating wealth
in abundance, we have not discov-
cred the art of distributing that
wealth. To distribute that wealth it
is patent that we must have mass
purchasing power-purchasing power
on the part of the people who have
the ability to consume what our farms
and factories can produce"
Benson asserted that under the Re-
publican machine government of
19l9-l929 there were mergers which
destroyed more than 5000 independ-
ent merchants and mining establish
ments in this country alone. "Over
Is percent of the retail business in
the United States was absorbed by
the huge chains" he pointed out.
One country editor vents his disgust
of the Republican smear campaign in
a scathing editorial in the Bovey press
Says the editorial: with 80 percent
of the state against the Farmer-Labor
party, the Republicans are forced
to publish a special newspaper in
order to print and distribute political
matter that is so rotten no legitimate
newspaper will publish it." The
scandal sheet referred to is the Re-
publican Standard.
The National Labor Relations act
has now had the experience of three
years enforcement and points up the
need for state legislation to take up
where the Federal law leaves off. The
national law covers only workers in
interstate commerce, and thus is no
protection legally for the worker
whose product is rated as intra-state
commerce.
Locally the national labor board
established by the Labor Relations
law has been able to settle nearly
200 disputes resulting in untold saw
ingS to consumers, workers, and en-
ployers. To continue this good work
Minnesota needs such labor act as
was introduced by the liberals in the
Legislature last year, but which was
defeated by the Senate. This legis-
lation would guarantee to all our
workers full freedom of self-organi-
zation for the purpose of collective
bargaining.
Four other states now have such
laws, and they report marked lessen
ing in industrial strife. Minnesota
labor, whether engaged in interstate
or intra-state commerce, is entitled
to the same protection under the law
as it prevails on the Federal law
books.

The economic and political inter-
ests of the independent businessman
and the professional man and wom-
an are identical with those of the
farmer and laboring man, says Gov
ernor Benson. In a radio address
pointed chiefly at the small merchant,

and industry cannot flourish while
the farmer receives less than cost of
production for his products and the
workers receive insufficient to main

1t was John KinZer day in st. Cloud
one day last week and Stearns county
made the most of it. KinZer is the
liberal candidate for lieutenant-gov-
ernor, and running mate of Cover
nor Benson.
Kinzer, who has lived his whole
life on one farm near Cold Spring
told his neighbors that he was proud
his home folks had arranged the cele-
bration for him. He broadcast his
keynote speech-the most extended
pronouncement by the liberal forces
on the vital questions of farm prices
later in the evening.
At a luncheon given earlier, Kin
ger received one of the most heart
ening Endorsements of the day. Said
Fred Schilplin, publisher of the ST.
Cloud Times and unsuccessful Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in this
years primary, 81 am proud to be
a neighbor of John Kinzer, who
consider to be good farmer, good
liberal, and a good family man, and
I am going to vote for him this No
vember. l am certain that he is going
to be elected"
Pointing out that the Minnesota
farm plan had recently been laid be-
fore President Roosevelt by Governor
Benson, Kinzer outlined its chief pro-
visions; minimum fixed prices at more
than cost of production; surplus pool
from which unused surplus farm pro-
ducts would be distributed to the
needy; an ever-normal granary; soil
conservation program which will re-
build the soil; crop insurance; re-
financing of farm mortgages along the
lines of the Frazier-Lemke bill; anti
tenancy; and governmental support
of the cooperative movement.
''This program was worked out in
detail; it is workable" John Kinzer
added, cit will solve the agricultural
problem

In one of the most dramatic and
convincing gestures in Minnesota
political history a group of SO news
papermen and newspaperwomen en-
ployed by the five big dailies in the
Twin Cities and the two dailieS in
Duluth have formed volunteer COM
mittee for the reelection of Cover
nor Benson.
It is undoubtedly the first time in
any election-national or local-in
the United States where the men and
women who write the news have de-
clared themselves in such forceful
terms for a candidate for office. AS
a matter of fact, those newspapermen
who formed the committee have de-
clared that they found no one on
the daily newspapers who objected tC
the committee, or who had any other
wish than that Governor Benson be
reelected.
For many years newspapermer
have been told to keep themselves
aloof from such common things" as
politics, and it is high tribute to the
good judgment of the working press
of the Twin Cities and of Duluth
that such a plea falls on deaf ears
These are the men and women who
write the news-SometimeS to order
- but who have proved that they
think for themselves also and are
capable of throwing their full weight
into a struggle as worthy as that now
being waged to re-elect the Governor
In announcing their support of Gov.
ernor Benson, the newsmen'S COM
mittee declared: eve inject our.
selves into this campaign because il
our opinion the fundamental issue i:
whether or not Minnesota is to e
forward under strong progressive
leadership. because we feel tina
today more than ever the basic prin.
ciples of democracy are in danger
and we need at the head of our gov.
eminent militant defender of those
democratic principles"

Methodist Church
School Votes To
Revive Debt Fund

The workers council of the
First Methodist church school last
night adopted the Victory Fund"
plan for meeting the church's
building Indebtedness recently re-
funded at $4,000 over a period
of approximately eight years.
The money-raising plan pro-
vides that each member of the
church school and as many other
Methodists as can be enlisted
shall pay a weekly pledge into
the church school treasury for
debt liquidation. Over period of
about five years more than SlO,-
900 was raised in this manner,
and now that the debt has been
greatly reduced it is expected that
a revival of the Victory Fund"
will result in prompt meeting OF
semi-annual obligations. Operation
of the plan is in the hands Of Il
committee composed of B. H..
Colt, chairman, w. C. Armstrong,
c. NJ. Ogle and Mrs. S. NJ. Gar
rem. >.
Supper was served preceding
the business meeting last night,
with Superintendent Johnson OF
the church school presiding and
with about 80 officers and teach
ers present.
