State Unemployment Insurance New Factor In Coal Shutdown
Idle Miners May Draw Benefits Four Months
By BRUCE CATION

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, May 9.-Whether the nations coal miners made idle by the current bituminous coal field dispute will be supported during the shutdown by state unemployment compensation benefits depends largely on the way the different states look on the shutdown. If they call it a strike, the idle workers will be out of luck.
 If they call it a lockout, the workers will be able to draw benefits
 There is the added complication that in many cases the state unem- ployment compensation boards must also determine whether a lockout is a labor dispute under the terms of the state unemployment compensa- ton act.
 Pennsylvania has already ruled that benefits will be paid the idle miners.
 West Virginia has definitely ruled via the board of review of the state unemployment service-that benefits will not be paid.
 In Virginia the unemployment compensation commission is taking claims but is awaiting 8 ruling by its appeals board.
 Unemployment benefits have been paid miners in certain parts of Ohio for some time, due to the fact that early in the spring number of coal operators formally reported lack of work in their areas. The question of whether such benefits shall be paid generally during the shutdown has not, however, been determined as yet.
 TOP COMPENSATION
 The general provisions of the unemployment compensation laws in most of the coal-producing states are much the same. All of them eX-

New Haven, May 9.-Joseph Lib erti, former Ansonia city sheriff was sentenced to the federal penitentiary for one year and day yesterday by Judge Carroll c. Hincksl in fed eral court on a charge of com plicity in the operation of an illicit still.
 A federal court jury found him guilty last week after a government witness implicated him as one of the principals of a 750-gallon still seized in 1887 at a Shelton farm. The witness, Nicola Feola, was ap- prehended on the premises. He was sentenced to serve six months in jail.
 Ralph Juliano, of Bridgeport, who testified in, behalf of Liberti, was arrested yesterday on a bench war; rant charging perjury. A suspended sentence of 60 days in jail was placed in effect.

 Every state has restrictive laws disqualifying idle workers, under certain conditions, from receiving benefits.

 Most of these laws provide that worker is disqualified if he is idle due to 8 labor dispute at the place where he is or last was employed. These states will have to determine whether a lockout is labor dispute under the meaning of the act-and if so, whether the coal shutdown is lockout or strike. Indiana's s statute specifically says strike" in- stead of labor dispute" and so does Ohio's; Pennsylvania calls 1t "a

In Wyoming it is SIS with the added provision that the worker gets 60 per cent of his regular wage within that maxi- mum.
 In every case there is a certain waiting period which must elapse between the time worker loses his job and the time he can start draw ing benefits. This waiting period is two weeks in Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and

 All of the states also disqualify a worker if, while idle, he fails or re- fuses to accept suitable work" A state which ruled the current shut down a lockout, of course, could hardly rule that lockout worker was failing or refusing to accept the work that he was locked out of.
 Unemployment benefits, of course, do not run on indefinitely. A limit is set upon the amount of money an idle worker may draw in all states named. In most cases, the limit is set at 16 weeks.
