DENVER, Jan. 18.-EdWard p.
Costigan, 81, who in 1881 became one
of the first Senators to demand di-
rect Federal relief for the jobless,
died last night of heart attack at
his Denver home.
Elected to the Senate in 1880 as a
Democrat, Mr.. Costigan quickly be-
came recognized as a leader Of the
liberal bloc that eventually enacted
a New Deal program Incorporating
many governmental theories he long
had advocated.
Illness forced Mr.. Costigan to re-
tire from public life in 1896. He con-
tracted a cold Sunday, and yester-
day developed lobar pneumonia,
which Unexpectedly affected his
heart.
Mr.. Costigan left the Republican
party to become the unsuccessful
Progressive candidate for Colorado
Governor in 1912 and 1914. He be-
came a Democrat in 1916, and was
appointed to the Tariff Commission
by President Wilson, where he
argued for the reciprocal tariff pol
icies now being put into effect by
Secretary Hull. He resigned from
the commission in 1923.
AS a. Senator he was a co-author
of the Jones-Costigan Sugar Act,
later expanded into the present pro-
gram, which gives sugar beet farm
ers direct benefit payments.
When. in 1888, Congress gave the
Federal Government the responsible
ity of caring for the needy, as he and
Senators La Toilette and Wagner had
advocated two years earlier, Mr..
Costigan said "a great principle is
being established.
Lives and happiness of human
beings are proper concern of our
country" he said.
Mrs. Mabel C. Costigan the widow,
and Miss Josephine Roche, former
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
were at the former Senator's bedside
when he died.

COMMISSION AWARDS
LONGEVITY PAY
WE MUST PRODUCE!

Washington, D. c. (AFLWNS).-
Special compensation in the form of
longevity pay was received by 159
officers and men on nine government
vessels completing foreign voyages in
the month of June, according to re-
port of the United States Maritime
Commission.
The extra pay ranges at present
from to per cent of the base pay,
computed on the length of service on
a government ship. More than 80
per cent of the licensed personnel re-
ceived it, and "a per cent of the unli-
censed men.
Longevity pay, designed to encour-
age continuous service at sea and
provide greater security for maritime
labor, begins after a year of service
on the same ship. The recipient then
gets bonus of 3 per cent each pay
day. At the end of two years the
bonus increases to per cent. In the
future, after three years service, the
extra pay will become 10 per cent.

EXCLUSIVE STATE FUND

after 25 years of experience with Workmen's
"A compensation, California seeks to amend her
law by providing an exclusive state fund to be the
carrier for compensation for I'M ured workers. The
chief counsel for the California Compensation IN
surance Fund Carroll S. Bucher, in the American
Labor Legislative Review, compares the work of
this Fund with that of It's competitors. He states
that the chief argument for continuance of private
insurance companies in that field is the effect Of
competition on premium rates. But even this
argument is fallaciOus because all claims could be
granted at lower cost if one agency had undis-
puted responsibility OF the five kinds of insur-
ance carriers operating in California the ratio Of
expense to gross compensation premium is as
follows: for non-partcipating stock companies,
1l.7O per cent; for participating stock companies,
$3.50 per cent for reciprocal insurance companies,
24.2O per cent; for mutual insurance companies,
2l.64 per cent; and for the State Compensation
Insurance Fund, 1884 per cent. If the State Fund
were made the exclusive carrier, Mr. Bucher csti-
mates the expense ratio could easily drop to per
cent Of its premium income, with a better service
to Injured employees and their employers Injured
workers must be taken care of and compensation
is the most economical method to employers and
the rest Of the community. The exclusive state
fund is the most economical way to provide COM
pensatiOn for in jured workers.
The exclusive state fund leads to economical adj
ministration because claims are accepted and paid,
reducing the contested cases to the minimum This
means the minimum Of litigation expense.
Workmens compensation was the first kind OF

EISNER CASE

THE Sigmund Eisner Company, makers of mems
clothing, secured government contracts to the
amount of two and half million dollars. For
work done under such contracts the Public Con-
tracts Act requires payment of stipulated mini
mum wage and forty-hour week. Repeated COM
plants of violations of these requirements brought
government investigators to the four factories of
the company in New Jersey. The first investigation
disclosed no Irregularities But complaints con-
tinued, and an audit was ordered The audit dis
closed that employees were required to work longer
than 40 hours week and were paid less than 81 -
cents an hour and that they had been instructed
to make out their time cards so as to conceal these
violations of law
which owners and employees had full opportunity
for complete statements. 1t was disclosed that
the practice OF Justification Of records general
and in accord with instructions. The company s
records did not correctly show hours employees
worked nor repeal amounts due to them The COM
pany was found in violation of law on these points:
permitting employees to work longer than hours
a day or 40 hours week without paying overtime
at the rate of time and half; failure to pay mini
mum rates fixed for mems work garments, mems
cotton garments and wool and Woo-lned
jackets; failure to maintain, keep on file and make
available to the authorized representatives of the
Secretary of Labor records showing wages and
hours of employees.
The Administrator of the Public Contracts
law found that the worst fault of the company
was IalSl1lcaIlOn OF records. Inc contracts given
the Eisner Company resulted in unfair competi-
ton for the firms willing to abide by the law.
Fraud against the government is serious offense.
If lair standards are to be maintained on gov
ernment contracts the law must be enforced and
this company must be penalized as recommended
by the Administrator: disqualification from gov
ernment contracts for years and payment of
500, TAB. l6 to be used in paying back wages.
1t is important for the workers to note that
without protests Investigations would not have
been pressed to disclose the fraud.

CONSERVATION BASIC FOR ALL
INDUSTRIES

WE are all concerned for the perpetuation of oul
W country and our Republic. A basic step tC
that end is conservation of our natural resources
Conservation implies two lines of action intelli-
gent and economic use of materials and mainten-
ance of the sources of supply. Take for example
the forests and wooded areas of this country
These forests give us lumber, paper and by
products and they also have an important inf1u-
ence on climate and water supplies.
In large areas of this country forests have been
exploited and wrecked without any regard for the
future interests of the trees or the community.
Forestry studies into the situation reveal these
facts. 1t is profitable commercially to cut only
trees of certain sizes and by selection of only trees
of the minimum prescribed assures maintenance
of the forests Out of the human experience evolves
these facts: Unnformed and unintelligent man.
agement in the lumber industry pays low wages
and does not offer stable industry and employment
to the community. The result is migratory or
transient production units and stranded workers.
Recently more than $100,00O,000 has been in
vested in the Southeast in the expansion of forest
industries. The use Of Douglas fir exceeds re-
placement four-fold. New uses are constantly
found for cellulose products.
Labor is vitality interested in conservation poll
cies because stability of employment depends upon
conservation of resources. Economical use of sup
plies is conservation necessity and affects direct
ly costs of production. Unnecessarily high pro-
duction costs limit the share Labor will get
Industries dependent on lumber are vitality
concerned for the formulation of conservation
policies, which in turn, would provide new jobs
and provide the information necessary to lift the
industries to higher planes of management and op-
Grafton More jobs and higher profits would put
us on the way to prosperity of permanent nature.
We have managed in the past because our natural
resources seemed limtless We can manage in the
future only if we conserve.
A conservation program that would result in
the social and economic rehabilitation of an indus
try lays the basis for stable increases in national
income and security for all citizens. 1t is a basis
for reconstruction and rehabilitation of all indus
tries.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

WITH the month of July the unemployment
w compensation system became completely ef-
fective in all territory under the American flag
with the exception of Puerto Rico. The size and
nature of this achievement make it record in So
cial insurance. Unemployment insurance like other
types of social insurance is to compensate for loss
of wages. Workers essential to industry are de-
pendent upon wages for income and victims
of depressions in industry which bring part-time
work and layoffs. All industrial countries provide
unemployment insurance to tide workers over such
economic emergencies. Such system is now In
operation for the workers of the United States.
AS is to be expected in connection with any new
law and particularly covering such complex
field our legislation is far from perfect and admin
istration has been faulty. The important fact is
societys acceptance of it's responsibility for this
but who as individuals are unable to secure for
themselves economic security. Upon this found
alton improvements can be developed out of eX-
perience Because the field is highly technical and
the sums involved large, the American Federation
of Labor believes that no legislative changes
should be made without thorough review of exist
ing legislation and it's administration by a public
commission. Such an agency would be In a pO
siton to recommend amendments after review OF
what has been done and how effectively existing
provisions We're performing that work. A proposal
to authorize such a commission was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Wagner at the request OF
the Federation. This amendment was suggested
as a substitute for number of amendments In
JfOduced IN Lne house Wnlcn Woud feSCilcC Dene
fits.
From January 1888 through April 1889, S540,
100000 was paid in unemployment benefits by 46
states the District of Columbia and two territories
"a considerable addition to purchasing power. The
average check for all Jurisdictions during 1898
was S10.93; the highest was $13.49 in Minnesota;
the lowest $3.50 in Mississippi A number of states
accumulated large reserves and in practically all
of those states the average check was lower than
the national average Obviously the reasons for
the reserves the low standards of benefit pay
ments. Until benefit payments are adequate there
should be no reduction in contributions of any kind
rate reductions or merit rating. Scope coverage,
simplicity and economy of administration, together
with personnel for administration, other fun
damentals upon which definite policies should be
established.
The Bill has gone to conference, SO that we can
not yet review what has been gained. 1t contained
also amendments to iberalize old-age insurance by
providing benefits for aged wives, widowed wives
and dependent children. Increased Federal con-
tributions to old-age pensions are proposed.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-08-24

social security legislation accepted in our country
1t provides funds for injured workers and their de-
pendents. The sureness with which that end can
be accomplished with least costs are tests of the
effectiveness of each state law. Commercial in
surance companies must operate at profit. The
state operates without profit. Probably the best
way to eliminate obstacles to efficient wor1men's
compensation legislation is to include it under
Federal Social Security stipulating the exclusive
state fund principle and other Federal standards.
Unless commercial interests are barred from So
ca security, benefits to workers become of second
ary consideration
