EXEMPT SMALL
EMPLOYERS
after JAN. |
Amendments to the Job Risk
Law Do Not Apply During
the Current Year.

Many employers have received the
by the last session of the legislature
70 the Minnesota Unemployment Com
penSation Law, affecting coverage and
merit rating, became effective inmedi-
ately upon their adoption and signing
by the governor.
This is a mistaken impression. The
officials of the state unemployment
compensation division emphasized today
that the effective date vitality affect
ing employers Of less than eight workers
is January 1, 1910. The amendments
adopted are as follows:
Effective January 1, 1910, employers
of less than eight workers all of whose
services are performed outside cities of
10000 population and over will not be
liable under the law. In cities of 10000
or over, the new law will apply to all
employers of one or more workers, while
employers of eight or more workers will
be liable regardless of location.
Effective Jan. l, 1910, and through
out the year 1910, no contributions viii
be due from employers of less than
eight workers, regardless of location of
services, who were subject to the law
during 1888 and 1899 and whose employ
ment record was such that no benefits
paid to eligible unemployed workers
during 1899 were charged against them.
Until January l, 1910, however, Of
cicials pointed out, the law requires all
of one or more workers, re-
CARELESS af location, to make quarterly
contributions and reports on a payroll
basis. The first quarter contributions
and reports are due on or before Sun
day next, April 80.

FIRE DANGER
Burning Permits Must Now be
Obtained, According to u.
S. Forest Service.

Permits must be obtained before any
burning can be done, according to in
formation obtained from the q. s.
forest service. Although the spring fire
season has not yet reached dangerous
point, this action was taken as a safe
guard against any possible danger
through the spreading of grass and
brush fires to wooded areas.
Warm weather has melted a good
share of the snow in the woods and has
made unprotected areas dry enough to
burn readily. Many people took adj
vantage of the ideal burning conditions
last week to destroy brush and burn
grass.
The first permits were issued by the
forest service, Friday and Saturday.
