the 2.7 per cent payroll tax now
levied upon employers.
"Liberalizations in the Ohio law, re-
quired if we are to get the tax re-
duction, plus the normal increase of
claims as more persons become aware
of their rights to benefits, will jump
the annual benefit payment total by
several million dollars" Administra-
tor Atkinson said "a careful study
will be required to determine the
proper per cent of payroll tax until
1912, when merit rating becomes eff
fective."
The advisory council, in its report,
said the immediate problems facing
the bureau are primarily of an adj
ministrative nature, adding that
"these problems are rapidly being adj
justed and benefits are being paid
promptly"
(, The report went on to say that
studies made by the council have in
dicated that changes may be advis-
able to simplify the beneft-paying
procedure in the interest of greater
efficiency and to avoid existing in
equities"

determine the size of benefit checks
which vary widely in different states
the council declared that in its opin-
ion benefits paid within a state shoulo

The report pointed to a definite
trend in other states away from bene
fit formulae that provide alternative
methods of determining claims in ia

letter to President Roosevelt, Max
Zaritsky, president of the United Hat

dent to make one more effort for unity
in the labor movement. The letter
denied that there was any fundamen-

ods between the American Federation

the President extend his "good neigh
Dor" policy to labor.
Zaritsky declared that although the
two parties remain at an arms length
apart, the course of events has mar
rowed the field Of contention between
them.

Columbus, O.-Employes in state
welfare institutions, mental and
penal, will have to wait another two
years before their wages and work
ing conditions have a chance to be
improved by an act of the Ohio Gen
eral Assembly.
Citing the fact that no appropria-
tions had been provided for in two
bills increasing the salaries of state
employees in all mental institutions
and guards at Mansfield Reformatory
and London prison farm, and express
ing reluctance to veto any act ol

Bricker last week refused to approve
the measures. The Legislature ac-
cepted his vetoes by indefinitely post
poning the bills before adjourning

Substitute House Bill 628, intro
duced by Representative Robert M
Betz, Gallipolis, provided that en-
ployes in state mental institutions be
paid an additional $35 per month fol

and established a maximum work

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - Ma

tics submitted to prove the boards

John P. Frey, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Metal Trades
Department, told the House labor
committee holding hearings on pro-
posed amendments to the National
Labor Relations Act.
MI. R. B. officials presented volu-
minous statistics to show that if any
thing the A. F. of l.. had been ia
vored over the C. |. 0.
Frey said the statistics would be
exploded in close examination.
Charges Delay Helped c. l.. O.
He also said in reference to the
board statement that it ordered cleo
tions soon after complaints were filed,
that 1--WE have had to wait Is months
for elections, and that delay worked
to the advantage of the c. |. o.
Frey argued that in holding cleo
tions throughout plants without re-
gard to crafts it was inevitable that
in many cases "the skilled workers
would be outvoted by the unskilled
and in that manner the older, skilled
unions would be put out of existence
He related that A. F. of L. officials
had conferred with the board, ano
written Chairman Madden about this
problem, but got "evasive answers"
Decisions ''Manifestly" Unjust
Frey criticized board decisions as
"manifestly" unjust, and accused the
board of perverting the purposes Of
the law. He quoted President Roose

Columbus, Ohio.-Ohio can easily
qualify for liberalized benefit pay
ments to its unemployed as well as
reduce the 27 per cent payroll tax
upon employers if the United States
Senate approves amendments to the
Social Security Act passed by the
National House of Representatives.
This information was given in a
letter to Governor John w. Bricker
last week by III. C. Atkinson, admin
istrator of the Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation, accompanying
the first report of the advisory coun-
Gil of the B. U. G. to the governor.
Inasmuch as the Ohio unemploy-
ment compensation law must con-
form to the federal Social Security
Act, a special session of the Ninety
Third General Assembly will prob
ably be called when Congress COM
pletes it's work of amending the fed
eral act, if the final changes affect
the unemployment compensation sec
tion of the law.
Administrator Atkinson pointed out
| in his letter to the governor that an
examination Of the Social Security
Act amendments passed by the lower
House of Congress and now awaiting
Senate action indicated that new min
imum standards would require Ohio
to change from three-week waiting
period to a two-week period, and to
provide for minimum benefit pay
ment of five dollars. (The Ohio law
now provides no minimum.)
A slight change would also be re-
quired in Ohio's partial unemploy.
ment compensation method, but the
Ohio law appears" to qualify in al
other respects, including a new mini
mum standard" specifying paymen
of benefits on the basis of full-tim,
weekly earnings, the administrator
said.
The question of whether or not th'
! Ohio law provided for benefit pay
ments based on full-time weekly earn
ings has been argued in and out o
court by the Ohio State Federation O
Labor and employers since the Law
became effective nearly three year
ago, and the Interpretation of tina
section of the law is still bone o
contention.
A recent court decision enjoininl
the use of a rule which did not EN-
body the full-time weekly wag
principle in the computation of bene
fits and the statement last week o
Administrator Atkinson apparentl,
ends the long controversy on tina
point.
The administrator also expresses
the opinion that Ohio, with an unem
ployment trust fund Of $4,000, ,00C
can easily qualify for reduction il

mandatory for all employees to reside

sum of approximately $223,000 dur

Such expenditure would seriously en-
danger the budget and would
bring the expense of the state above

Judge Extends Wage Cut
On Bankrupt Railroad

Rutland, Vt. ILNS).-A wage cut
of from 10 to 80 per cent for the 1900
employees of the bankrupt Rutland
Railroad, already in effect for nearly
II months, has been extended indefi-
nitely by order of Federal Judge Har-
land B. Howe.
Judge Howe ruled that it is uncon-
stitutional for the receiver to pay
present basic rates, because that
would impair the value of the prop
erty. The rail unions carried the cut
to court. Baffied there by the "con-
stitutional' proposition, they have not
yet decided what further proceedings
to take.
