Mining Situation
Reflected In Ohio
JobIess Increase
Fifty Per Cent Increase In
Number Of Cldirns For
Compensation
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, O.-A fifty per cent in
crease in the number Of claims for un-
employment compensation filed with
the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation during April reflects the
situation in the mining industry where
miners and operators are engaged in
contract negotiations, II. c. Atkinson,
administrator Of the BUG said last
week.
"For several days, the Bureaus Of
fees in southeastern Ohio have been
filled with long lines Of unemployed
Ohio coal miners filing claims for un-
employment compensation. Some 4e
mines have protested that strike eX-
lists. Each protest is being investi-
gated" Administrator Atkinson said.
"Under the Ohio law, no benefits
shall be payable to any individual who
has lost his employment, or has left
his employment, by reason Of strike
in the establishment in which he is
employed, as long as such strike con-
tinues.' The question of whether a
strike exists in any establishment in
which any claimant for benefits was
formerly employed has not as yet beer
answered." the administrator declared
May is the deadline for filing first
quarter reports and payment Of con-
tributions to the BUG from all employ
ers who had three or more employees
at any one time during January, Feb
ruary and March, the administrator al
so announced.
Although G. S. kallenbaugh, recent.
ly appointed director of the unemploy-
ment compensation division of the
BUG, is faced with the problem of Sc.
curing compliance with the unemploy.
ment compensation law by approxi
mately 25 900 delinquent employers, he
announced last week that he was in
augurating an investigation of fraud

by workers.
at is possible that Ignorance ant
misunderstanding of the law may
cause certain innocent persons tt
make violations. Therefore, workers
should obtain accurate information
from one Of our Bureau representa-
tives concerning the requirements OF
the Ohio law" Kallenbaugh stated.
The law provides penalties for fail
ure Of employers to make prompt pay
ment of contributions when due, ant
interest of per cent is charged EN-
ployers on all contributions not pait
at the end Of calendar quarters.
A rigid check of applications for un
employment benefits makes it prac
tically impossible for an unemployed
worker not covered by the law to re
ceive benefit payments.

The LOw-Income Family Needs a
Boost

The Low-Income Family Needs a
Boost
When worker Smith in the city
earning less than $500 year gets
500 raise, he isn't the only one who
finds the world a roster place. Farmer
Jones in the country also has stake
in the raise, because anywhere from
one-ffth to two-fifths of it is going
to go for the food that worker Smith
buys from farmer Jones.
That's the conclusion reached by
experts of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration in recently
published report.
Surveys show that the great oppor-
tunity in expanding the market for
farm products lies in the lower-income
brackets--those families receiving less
than 81 500 per year. Families with
incomes of more than $4,000 per year
would increase their food purchases
only about SO with an additional $l0Q
income. But with the families receiy-
ing less than $500 it's another story.
1t has been found that families in
this income bracket would probably
spend between $40 and $40. for food
out of an additional income of $1OO
This possible increase in food expendi-
lures in the low-income group is
highly important to farmers because
about 65 percent of the families in the
United States fall in this group. Con
sequently, the farmers concern over
raising the incomes Of this group
should possibly be quite as great as II
is in balanced production program

Spring Means Moth Protection
Moths will make holiday Of Spring
unless you store away your winter
woolens properly.
Here are some anti-moth rules.
First, have the garments dry clean
ed or washed before you store them
away. Next best thing is to sun them
thoroughly, and brush and beat them
on the backyard clothes line.
Second, pack the garments tightly,
sealing packages and other containers
with gummed tape. Moths can wriggle
through the tiniest opening left in
packages, chests, or closets.
Third, remember fancy treatments
may make garment bags smell queer,
but they won't kill destructive moth
larvae Garment bags are as useful as
they are tight, but only for keeping
moths out. 'Cedarized' cardboard
chests or closets, and cedar-lined
closets are not dependable. Chests
made of the heartwood of Virginia red
cedar viii protect clothing if they are
tightly closed:
Fourth, gadgets to hang in closets
that you keep opening are a waste of
money. Moth proof solutions. if they
contain fuorides and rotenone, and if
used with thoroughness, are fairly ef-
fective but won't make garments per-
manehtly or absolutely immune to
moths. Department Of Agriculture ex-
perts; do not recommend solutions con-
tanning arsenic.
Fifth, moth-klling chemicals that
will work, according to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, are naphthalene,
paradichlorobenzene, and gum cam
phor. But moth poisons don't work
unless the fumes are strong enough
to kill intruders. A pound Of any of
these chemicals sprinkled in folds of
tissue paper through the layers Of
clothing will protect trunkful of
clothes. For closets, use a pound of
the chemical to every 100 cubic feet
Of space. Always remember to sea-
up the containers in which you pack
away the clothes.

Bills Regulating
Contractors and
Painters Held Up
Only ! Opponent Appears
But Bill Is Sent To
Subcommittee
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, O.-Although but one
opponent appeared before the Codes
Committee Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives last week to argue against
measure proposing to license and
regulate building contractors, the bill
was referred to a subcommittee for
further study on the recommendation
of Chairman William II. Deddens, Gin
cinnati.
The delayed action on the bill. which
was conceded tantamount to killing
the measure in this session of the Gen
eral Assembly, came after the Com
mittee had heard a dozen or more
prominent contractors in the state,
representatives Of contractors associ-
ations, and labor leaders cite the ne
cessities for regulating the industry
and urge enactment Of the measure.
The bill, introduced by Representa-
tive William Eirick, Cleveland, as
House Bill No. 3G0, would force con-
tractors to show compliance with the
workmen's compensation and unem-
ployment compensation laws in order
to obtain license, and to follow plans
and specifications of construction in
order to retain that license.
Another measure, House Bill No
l24, which proposed regulation and
licensing of painters, paperhangers
and decorators, was also referred to a
subcommittee of the House Codes
Committee when it was called up for
hearing last week.
The subcommittee considering both
measures is composed of Represent
atives Cyril X. Culp, Lucas county;
! William E. Fleckner, Ottawa county
and George c. McCandless, Butler
county.
Labor representatives and five mem
bers Of the House Committee on Or
ganization of State Government last
week successfully repulsed for the
second time an effort on the part OF
employers to eliminate tips and
gratuities from consideration as earn
ings in computing unemployment com
pensation benefits.
With seven votes necessary to rec
ommend House Bill 5l3 for passage
proponents of the anti-tipping meas
ure were only able to garner five votes
and the bill remained in committee
Voting against recommending the
measure for passage were Repre-
sentatives Blum, Acton, Mills, Carney
and Coughlin. Voting for the bill were
Representatives Albers, Cory, Grad
Kirkpatrick Of Knox county and Mrs
Ford of Trumbull county.
1t is not believed that the measure
will be resurrected again in this ses
sion of the Legislature.
