S295,000 PAID OUT THIS YEAR
 BY COMMISSION
Unemployment Compen- sation Board Concludes
 Annual Meeting Here

Seasonal provisions of the Alaska unemployment compensation law, dealing with benefits payment \ were reviewed and regulations in some instances modified by the AL aska Unemployment Compensation Commission which concluded it's an- nual meeting here this week.
 Attending the session were R. E. Hardcastle, Chairman, from Ketchi- kan; R. S. Bragaw, Secretary, from Anchorage, and Dr. Noble Dick of Fairbanks.
 To conform with a recent amend ment to the social security act, the commission instructed Director Wal ter P. Sharpe to draft the necessary regulations and submit them to the Federal Security Agency, Social Sc- curity Board, so that the Alaska Agency will have a personnel merit system which would be equal to the standards established by the Social Security Board The merit system is to be utilized by States in the absence of State civil service sys- tenn.
 The board perfected the necessary changes to affiliate the Employ ment Service with the Social Secur- ity Board, the service formerly being associated with the U. S. Depart ment of Labor. Both the Unemploy- ment Compensation Agency and the Employment Service are now CO., ordinated under one administrative group.
 S291, ,061 Paid Out
 Statistics for the annual report of the commission were compiled and reviewed by members of the com mission. These figures show that from January l, to November l. s295,06l 80 was paid out in benefits An increase of well over 1000 job placements will be shown over the year 1938
 Railroad employees are now cov- cred under a Federal system of un- employment insurance and it was necessary for the commission to authorize the transfer of the bal ances of those funds collected from railroad companies to the Railroad Retirement Board. This was in ac- cordance with the amendments passed at the last session of the Legislature.
 The commission has taken up the study of merit rating for employers, in view of presenting the same to the next Legislature. This feature of the law is to be in effect com mencing January l, 1922, and will give to hose employers whose ac- counts show a favorable balance a reduction in the existing tax rate.

Tramming Tracks Are Re. Covered-0n Man
 to Hospital

Another slide early this morning swept down the path of Monday afternoons minor avalanche which suspended Alaska Juneau tramming operations for nearly AS hours and once more buried tram tracks to again stop operations of the mill, possibly until sometime tomorrow.
 One miner, Steve Sopko, working on the just-rebuilt track, was in- jured by falling rock at o'clock this morning and taken to St. Ann's Hospital, for the first injury of the current slide action. Sopko was knocked out and received broken elbow.
 Assistant General Superintend- ent J, A. Williams was cut slightly on the forehead, it is reported. by the flying end of severed trolley wire.
 Williams passed off the injury this morning as nothing and said tramming operations will be closed down all night, declining to esti- mate when work would resume again tomorrow.
 Williams said work will proceed more swiftly if the weather moder- ated, but the mill will be shut down tonight
 After the slide at 330 o'clock this morning, dirt and rock continued to slough, and City street crews are having a difficult time of routing wa ter and mud through hastily drilled drains in sidewalk and street at the City Wharf
