Alaska Commission Sign

BY WALTER p. SHARPE
Director, Unemployment Compen-
Satiou.

Members of the Alaska Unem-
ployment Compensation Commission
during the year 1889 we're as fol-
lows: r. E. Hardcastle, Chairman,
r. S. Bragaw, Secretary, and DR.. No
BILE Dick. DR.. Dick replaced E. L..
Bartlett upon the latter's reSigna-
ton.
The Commission held its annual
meeting in Juneau, November IA,
at which time seasonal regulations,
previously promulgated, were re-
viewed. Experience gained through
the actual payment of benefits
since January, 1899. disclosed the
necessity of a number of minor re-
visions to these regulations.
Many administrative difficulties
which at first seemed inSurmount-
able have been overcome. The 14th
Session of the Alaska Legislature
enacted several amendments which
aided materially in the simplifica-
ton Of the benefit payment for
mula. The Legislature also passed
amendments which permitted the
Commission to transfer railroad
workers accounts from the Alaska
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission to the Railroad Unemploy-
ment Insurance Act. Although rail-
road unemployment claims are ham
died through the Alaska Territorial
Employment Service offices, the ac-
tual payment is now made by the
Railroad Retirement Board
During the calendar year 1889 the
Commission issued unemployment
compensation benefit checks in the
amount of S349,923.16 These checks
were received by unemployed Alas
ka workers who qualified under the
law. The greatest portion of benefit
checks were distributed in districts
which experienced major employ
ment problems, thereby aiding in the
Sterilization of buying power at the
time and place such power was most
needed.
The total number of checks issued
by the Commission during 1899 was
24,034. The average weekly bene-
fit amount paid to Alaska workers

All CLUB STARTS
NEW LOAN FUND
BUDDING CAPITALISTS PILING UP
FUNDS FOR ORGANIZATION AT
THE RATE OF $500 YEARLY

Budding capitalists with bearish
tendencies, Is the description given
to members of the All Builders
club of Cascade county, who are
piling up money for the organiza-
ton at the rate of $500 a year
and using sound financial judg-
ment in its use, according to Miss
Florence johnson. Cascade home
demonstration agent.
This club, which has a membership
of 60 this year, has earned more than
$500 the last two years from conceS-
sions at the North Montana fair The
money has been used to good advan-
tage but this year an entirely new
scheme has been worked out.
This scheme places the 1910 surplus
of $500 into a loan fund. This fund
can be used only for loans to present
or former Cascade county All club
members Loans, not in excess of $50
at any one time, may be made to help
finance a student through two or
four-year college or trade school. In
terest will start three months after
the student graduates. The rate will
be percent the first year, then S
percent.
To determine who can receive loan
applications will be studied by a spe-
cial board. This board will include all
officers of the Builders club, the
president of the local leaders ascot
alton and the two extension agents.
The hope of the board is that the
building of the surplus will continue
and increase This will build up the
loan fund into substantial form Of
aid to deserving Cascade county All
club members.
Last year the club put away 5000
as savings for rainy day and spent
about half that to send delegates to
meetings, picnics and similar worth
while functions. This year s6675 was
taken from profits for similar pur-
poses.
Audrey Bergman, Cascade. is presi-
dent of the All Builders club this
year Vernon Smiley, Eden, is vice
president; Laurabelle Bergman, Cas-
cade, is secretary. and Marjorie
Grimes. Cascade, its treasurer. Miss
Bergman and Smiley held the same
offices last year. Dorothy German Of
Great Falls last year held the COM
bined offices of secretary and treas
urer.
