The State law provides for pay
ment Of partial unemployment
benefits for workers whose hours
and pay are cut when work is
slack. but the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board
believes that many workers en-
titled to such benefits have no.
been claiming them-probably for
the reason that they did not
understand their rights in the
matter.
Employers Duties
Under the new procedures. work.
ers will be reminded that they
may be entitled to partial bene-
fits when they are on short time
for lack OF work. and to make
this reminder possible. the State
will require employers to take
some responsibility in the matter.
Mr.. Cromwell says.
Hereafter, Il is announced.
employers will be required to
notify each worker. who Is on
short time for lack Of work,
that he may be entitled TO par.
tial unemployment benefits.
The employer must also fur
nish TO the worker, for the
first week Of the short.time
period. \ statement Of that

his claim 10 partial unemploy-
ment benefits. This the worker
will present when he files his
claim.
All workers are urged, how
ever. to keep thmselves posted.
and when trey think they are en-
titled to benefits. consult the
nearest State employment office
II they have not received a notice
after the first week or two.
This Is particularly important
for workers who have more than
one employer in a short space
OF time. Such workers.longshore-
men. for example. some building
trades workmen, some walters
and waitresses--cannot be noti-
fled individually. the Board points
out. because no one employer
could tell whether they were busy
full time or not. Such workers
may be entitled TO benefits when
they work less than full time. but
since no way has been found to
notify them individually. the
Board urges them to make the
first move themselves by con-
sulting the nearest State en-
ployment office when they are on
short time for lack OF work.

TO reply 10 the repeated charges
that he is openly permitting
and cooperating In flouting the
law Of the State Of Maryland
in regard TO the barefaced chisel-
ing OF this member Of the I'm
employment Compensation
Board. The Voice Of Labor has
spoken out fearlessly and OPEN
~ on this disgraceful situation
and the Governor of Maryland
has stayed silent.
C0operates
Two weeks ago the Governor
cooperated in this lawbreaking
He spoke before the State A. r.
of L. Convention over which his
stooge. Joseph p. McCurdy pre-
sided. There is no record that
the Governor gave McCurdy a
leave of absence from his full
time duties" There is no record
that McCurdy ever fulfils the full
time duties for which he out :
rageously chisels $4,000 per year
from the taxpayers.
II Smells
The whole situation smells 10
high heaven in the nostrils OF de-
cent people. 1t is long overdue for
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor TO
explain his strange conduct in
supporting this flouting Of the
law. His silence in the face OF
charges is an open admission of
guilt. But what about correcting
the unwholesome situation? Since
when is the Governor of Mary
land above the law which he has
taken an oath to uphold? Since
when has the Governor a right
TO talk about sabouteurs when he
himself cannot come into court
with clean hands?

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
has signed the so-called anti-sabo-
tage bill and in so dong calls
down the wrath OF all organized
labor upon his head. His reasons
for signing the bill do not stand
up to the factual examination OF
reasoning people.
Let it be remembered that
AT. OF L.. Clio. and Railroad
Unions Expressed themselves
vigorously upon the terms Of this
labor busting Legislation.
Not Sincere
II IS about time for the labor
movement to make a critical
eyaluation of Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor's anti-labor bias.
In so doing his record will not
stand up to close examination. In
fact the vast majority Of the rank
and file of labor are pointing out
some very weak spots in the armor
of the man who campaigned as
a friend OF labor" We intend
to point out some Of these facts
and II the Governor dare answer
them we will be very much sur
prised. We assert that the Gov
ernor is a very insincere man rs
far as labor is concerned.
Appointments
On the matter OF appoint
ments TO official boards con-
ccrned with both labor and the
general interest the Governor
has been singularly forgetful OF
his alleged "labor friends" He
invited John 7. Jones 10 act as
a member Of the committee in
vestlgating the State Industrial
Accident Commission. After
months Of hard work President
Jones submitted a report. He
pointed out vital weaknesses in
procedure and administration.
He recommended appointment
Of an out and out labor repre-.
sentative to the Commission.
O'Conor ignored all sections Of
the report and when he had a
chance to appoint n member Of
the Commission he deliberately
ignored labor and its spokes-
mans recommendation.
About McCurdy
1t is true that the Governor has
given labor a voice on the State
U n e m p loyment Compensation
Board. To this post he named the
most reactionary individual in
the Maryland labor movement.
namely Joseph p. McCurdy. who
has acted as nothing more or less
than an administration stooge
and political tool. The Governor
allows this man to hold office in
direct violation Of the law which
he has sworn TO uphold. The Gov
ernor has been well repaid by
his appointee who has sold out his
labor movement interests to the
political interests Of the Governor.
Governor OConor. who can give
so little interest to the legitimate
aspirations OF labor. leans over
backward TO maintain McCurdy
IN office in barefaced violation OF
the law.
He Pays Off
In return McCurdy pays off
by selling out the labor move
ment which also pays him
handsome salaries. When Inn
portant hearings are scheduled
the fellow conveniently ducks
SO rs not TO embarrass Governor
O'Conor. his benefactor.
Governor O'Conor has never
yet had the courage or the facts
