Payment Of $500. 900
To Miners BY BUG
Begins On May 10
Finul Settlement Of Cluims
Filed Years Ago By
Ohio Miners

Columbus, O.-Final settlement of
claims for unemployment compensa-
ton, filed a year ago by Ohio coal
miners during the miner-o operator con-
troversy, was made possible yesterday
when the Board of Review officially
certified the claims to the Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation for pay
ment, BUG officials reported to Gov.
John w. Bricker.
Payment of approximately $4,000
to an estimated $4,000 eligible miner
claimants will begin by May 10, bureau
officials said, and the complicated pro-
cedure will be completed as soon as
possible.
Only those claimants who did not ex-
haust their benefit rights last year
through payments by the bureau of
unemployment other than during the
controversy, will participate in the
final settlement of claims filed April !.
1889.
Miners who filed claims when work
stopped on that date were denied bene-
fits by the bureau, which ruled that
a strike was in progress, and no credit
for unemployment was allowed the
claimants until after the controversy
ended on May Is.
In a majority decision, Chairman
Werner E. Metcalf and Member w. r.
Roberts of the Board of Review over
ruled the bureau, holding that strike
did not exist and that miner-claimants
were entitled to benefits for work lost
during the controversy. Walter j.
Mackey, employer representative on
the Review Board, dissented.
The Board Of Reviews majority de-
cision was upheld by the Cuyahoga
County Common Pleas Court, which
denied the appeal of the U. S. Coal
Company in a test case seeking to
have the ruling set aside.
The Review Board then applied it's
mo strike" decision to all claims filed
by the employees of affected coal COM
panies, ruling that conditions and facts
in all cases appealed to them were
similar in nature.
Bureau officials pointed out that any
benefits due miner-claimants under the
Board of Reviews decision could not
be paid until official certifcation of the
claims had been made by the board to
the bureau.

Washington, D. C.-The House kill

amend the Wages and Hours Act when
it voted, 205 to ITS, to recommit the
original Labor Committee bill, which
had proposed mild changes in the law.
This coup de grace was administered
after the House had first killed by a

which had been amended virtually out
of recognition. Another substitute,
which had been similarly tr ca e d ,
previously had been rejected.
The House action was distinct VIC

there were only 63,411, a job loss of
nearly 100000 at cannot be argued"
he added "that this actual loss of jobs
is attributable to loss of business by
the companies, for the same report

Unemployment is the central prob

of our economic organism. We can
not accept it or even any part of it as

defeat. But in deyising any means, no
