Dial Telephone Service
Now In POOlesviHe

The telephone exchange at
Poolesyille was converted to the
latest type of dial equipment on
Monday, June 8, according to an
announcement by C. G. Sellman,
local manager of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
in Poolesville. The change in
volved almost three hundred sub
scribers and was made without
any interruption in telephone serv-
ice.
The interest in the new dial
service was at once evidenced by
a sharp increase in calls during
the first day of operation for the
new equipment. Previously, nor
NAL day accounted for $50 local
calls. On Monday, June 3, it is
estimated that a total of 1000
local telephone calls were made
and completed. The telephone
users found the new dial equip
ment speeded up the service as
compared with the operation under
the old system.
The public is invited to an
"open house" at the new dial tele-
phone office on the Beallsville road
in Poolesville on Friady and Satur-
day, June z and 8 in the evening
between the hours of $3.50 and 8.
Guides will be present to explain
the operation of the equipment.
At g p. m, on both evenings, mo-
ton pictures will be shown at the
Poolesville school house. Also, on
exhibition will be the "Voice Mir
ror" a very unusual voice repro
duction apparatus.

Jobs Covered BY
Unemployment In Md.

The number of persons who had
worked, during the three months
period ending December 81, 1899,
in jobs covered by the Maryland
unemployment compensation law
totaled approximately 349,806.
This included workers in factories,
shops, mines, mills, stores, Offices,
and other places of business or in
dustry where four or more people
are employed for at least 20 weeks
during the year.
Wage earners who have had the
required amount Of earnings in
such covered" work are entitled
to weekly benefits when they be-
come unemployed.
Certain kinds of employment are
not covered by the Maryland law.
Some are domestics and agricul-
tural workers. Earnings from
such employment BENEFITS.
East State unemployment com
pensaton law specifies the kind of
work it covers, and also the size
of firm to which the law applies.
About half the State unemploy-
ment compensation laws include
only firms which employ eight or
more workers for at least 20
weeks on jobs that are covered by
such laws.
In many States an employer who
does not come within the unem-
ployment compensation program,
either because he has fewer work.
ers than the law specifies or be-
cause his employees are nom
covered jobs, may be permitted to
come into the system on volun-
tary basis. In Maryland, some en-
ployers have elected to become vol
UNFAIRLY covered under the State
unemployment compensation law,
and have the protection of unem-
ployment compensation to a num-
Der of employees who would not
otherwise have been under the pro-
gram.
The Maryland State unemploy-
ment service Office is located at
Silver Spring, Md.
