"The Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation" Administrator Atkin-

reasonable effort to make the present
benefit formula work. Instead, be-
cause it offers alternative formulas, it
has given rise to bitter contests be-

not worked with equity as between
claimants, and has caused contributing
employers and benefit recipients to
challenge the Bureaus decisions and
it's administration"
"The formula which | am propos-

Board of Review is requested, would
be easily understood by worker and
employer alike.
"There would be no alternative
method of calculating benefits as a
source of controversy.
''1t would apply with complete
equity to all claimants, whether they
were paid on salary, by the day, by

COMPLETE PARDONIS
URGED FOR BILLINGS
Full Restoration of His Civil Rights
Asked by California State Fed
Grafton of Labor

San Francisco, Calif.-An appeal
to Governor Culbert l.. Olson to act
quickly in restoring the civil rights
of Warren X. Billings was made by
the California State Federation of
Labor as a result of action by the
Executive Council of the State body.
Billings was freed from prison in
October, when Governor Olson, on
recommendation of the State Supreme
Court, committed his life sentence to
time served. Because of legal tech
nicalities incident to prior convic-
ton Governor Olson had not given
him full pardon, and while he is at
liberty he enjoys no civil rights and
cannot engage in business or enjoy
his complete freedom, it was pointed
out by Edward ID. Vandeleur, sccre-
tary Of the Federation, in announcing
the appeal.
Vandeleur said that by order of the
Executive Council the appeal had
been sent direct to Governor Olson in
behalf of the executive group, and
that every A. f. of l.. Union in Cali
fornla has been asked to join in the
plea for quick action on a complete
pardon for Billings.
In his communication to Governor
Olson, Vandeleur said, in part:
"The Council expressed its belief
that you have the authority to grant
a full and complete pardon in the case.
"Since Billings former conviction
was not pleaded against him at his
trial there appears to be reasonable
doubt of its validity, as interpreted in
Billings case, and it would seem that
such doubt should now be resolved in
his favor.
"The recommendation of the court,
and your own action in granting free
dom to Billings following such recon-
mendation, in addition to your past
expressed personal desire to pardon
him, seems conclusive that he is now
entitled to have restored his civil
rights"
The Executive Council authorized
continuance Of the fight for complete
restoration Of Billings civil rights by
pardon, Nandeleur said.

disputes during his career.
Reuben G. Soderstrom, president of
the Illinois Federation of Labor, said
that "labor is fighting for the things
Christ stood for while He was on
earth" and added:

terly opposed to Communism. Labor
and the church want peace. Neither
wants Nazism, Communism or war"
Additional tributes to Father Ma
guire's efforts on behalf of labor were
voiced by John Fitzpatrick, president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor;
Victor A. Olander, secretary of the
Illinois Federation of Labor, and
