W.P.A. BUILDING
SURVEY FINISHED

Washington, D. c. GLNS). - A
Works Progress Administration re-
port comparing residential building
in Europe and the United States is
just out; and it is a staggerer.
Sweden and Denmark, in the last
decade, have built $50 dwellings to
every 1000 families. The United
States, in the same period, has built
"a dwellings, to 1000 families. Ger
many is rated lowest of European
countries in residential building, and
yet is 33 per cent ahead of us.
The report figures that if resi-
Dental building were increased to
the levels of some European coun-
tries, it would put 2,500,000 Amer
lean workers to work. 1t would
mean $2,0OOOOO,OOO for material
and equipment, and more than
twice that sum in building con-
tracts.
The report quotes experts who hold
that this country should build a mil
lion dwellings, year to keep up with
the zeal needs Of the country.

Columbus, O.-Oral arguments in

act creating the Public Institutional
Building Authority and it's right to
issue up to $1O,O00,OOO in bonds to f.
nance a state building program were
made before the Ohio Supreme Court
June Ia, and decision was expected
to be handed down before the courts

The Ninety-Third General Assem-

to eliminate doubt of constitution
ality, and the Friendly" suit was then
instituted to obtain the courts opinion.
The authority is composed of Will
liam S. Konold, Warren, executive
secretary; Erdis Robinson, Columbus,
chairman, and Ed Switalski, Ports
mouth. A syndicate of Chicago bond
houses has agreed to buy the au-
thority's bonds if the act is held con-

New York Board Backs
Minimum Wage Order

New York City (ILNS).-The board
of standards and appeals of the New
York Department of Labor in a sweep
ing decision has upheld the validity
and reasonableness of the guaranteed
weekly wage provision of Mandatory
Order No. l which governs wages
paid to women and minors in New
York state.
Harry J. Hutchins, owner of a laun-
dry in Buffalo, contended that his
marine business was SO unpredictable
that he could not guarantee his en-
ployes the minimum weekly wage,
but would pay them by an hourly rate.
The labor board answered dryly
that Hutchins had no evidence on this
proposition, and that he was contend
ing for san unsubstantiated hypothe
sis" He can arrange his work to
give 40 hours work a week; 97.3 per
cent of the plants in New York state
have already done so. 1t also quoted
the recent decision of Chief Justice
Hughes:
"What can be closer to the public
interest than the health of women
and their protection from unscrupu-
lous and over-reaching employers"

Supreme Court June 14-Expect Decision Before Sum-

Tentative plans for a widespread
building program which would allevi-
ate over-crowding in state mental in
stitutions have been drawn by the
welfare department, Director Charles
L. Sherwood disclosed last week.
Director Sherwood said that his
proposed building program would
touch every state mental hospital and
would also help the prison over
crowding situation since many men
tally defective inmates now confined
in the state prisons would be trans
ferred to mental institutions when
ever enlarged facilities become avail
able.
The welfare director indicated that
no new prisons could be built from
funds obtained through the Public In
stitutional Building Authority since
stipulations for retiring the bonds
limited the expenditure of funds to
mental hospitals.

Columbus, o. ~ Publicity released
by the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation reveals intensive eff
forts by Administrator III. c. Atkin-
son and G. Scott Kallenbaugh, direc-
tor of the bureaus unemployment
compensation division, to create bet
ter understanding among employers
of the provisions of the unemploy-
ment compensation law.
Compliance by liable employers is
being forced by bureau officials, who
are also conducting a campaign to
encourage voluntary contribution by
smaller employers and employment of
more workers by alleviating indus
try's fear of high contribution rate
when the automatic merit rating sys-
tenn goes into effect in 1912.
Pointing to the fact that machinery
was set up to handle an anticipated
claim load of 100000 month, while
the average has actually been only
about 100000 claims monthly, Ad-
ministrator Atkinson said:
"Ohio industries felt compelled to
reduce sharply the number of persons
on their payrolls and increase mech
anization throughout 1886 and 1887
in anticipation of the unemployment
compensation laws benefit operation
starting January 1, 1889. That is 9
direct cause of the present recession,
since the same thing happened in ev-
cry state in the Union"
Finding that thousands of Ohio
workers are being needlessly deprived
of jobs by employers who have re
Trained from hiring temporary EN-
ployes in the belief that they are pro
tecting their reserve accounts undel
the unemployment compensation law
the bureau has urged employers no
to hesitate to hire temporary workers
Notice that the employment of tenn
porary workers has little effect upol
these reserve accounts has beer
mailed to $4,000 Ohio employers il
the bureaus efforts to stimulate EN-
ployment.
Bureau officials believe that employ
ers have lost sight of the fact tha
the maximum portion of an individ
ual's benefit payments chargeable t
any employers reserve account j
one-sixth of the wages paid by tina
employer to that individual, or Sc
per calendar quarter, whichever i
the lesser.
A separate, accurate account i
kept for each employer who make
contributions, as required by the Obi
act. This account is credited with al
contributions which the employe
makes in his own behalf and anothe
record is also kept showing benefi
payments paid to his former EN-
ployes.

Administrator H c. Atkinson And c. Scott Kaenbaugh
Attempt To Create Better Understanding Among En-
poyers Of Unemployment Compensation Law

On and after January 1, 1912, the
bureau will determine the contribu-
tion rate of each employer in accord
ance with the amount of contributions
paid and the amount of benefits
charged against his account.
If the total Of all his contributions
exceeds the total benefits charged to
his account by 1870 or more of his
average annual payroll, his Ohio con-
tribution rate will be 1.0@o; 1870 but
less than 1870, 1.5@; 1096 but less
than 1870, 200; $50 but less than
1917, 2.5%o; less than so, 800, and
no excess, 400.
All employers are now contribut-
ing at rate of 27@o of their payroll,
and while many, owing to little or no
labor turnover, will pay the lowest
contribution rate of 1.0eo in 1912, 9TH
ers will pay the maximum owing to
uncertainty peculiar to their types of
business.
In any case, the leeway is sufficient
to permit employers to increase their
payrolls by hiring additional en-
ployes, some of whom would become
permanent, without changing their
merit rating in 1912.
That the bureaus campaign is
meeting with some success is showr
by recent report, in which it was
stated that the number of Ohio en-
ployers contributing to the Ohio un-
employment compensation fund is
consistently increasing.

VACUUM GEARSHIFT

Rarely has a new automobile fea-
ture scored such hit with the pub.
lie as has the new vacuum gearshift
with steering column control, intro
duced by Chevrolet on its 1889
models.
Car buyers everywhere have
shown overwhelming preference for
it, as against the conventional shift.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
1889 Chevrolets sold have been
equipped with the vacuum shift, ac-
cording to sales figures released by
Central Office statisticians.
Simplicity characterizes the new
gearshift, according to Ed Hedner.
national director of service for Chew
rolet. The vacuum principle is not
new, since trucks for years have had
vacuum powered brakes, but its APP
plication to- the gearshift is dis
tinct advance in engineering. The
new shift is relatively fool proof.
and trouble-free mechanically.
Because the vacuum shift enables
the motorists to- drive without re-
moving either hand from the wheel
increased safety of operation is one
of the advantages directable to the
new device. The vacuum booster
supplies 80 per cent of the effort in
shifting gears. The driver may flick
the lever into proper position with
the fingers, using only about 20 per
cent of the effort once required. This
also tends to reduce driver fatigue,
making for another increase i'm
safety.
Actually, Of course, the gearshift
could have been so designed as to
have done all the work, engineers
point ouut. However, the shift was
purposely designed to leave a small
amount of the work up to the driv-
er, simply SO he would still have the
feel" Of the shift. This gives him
better control at all times.
