Emphasizing the hardships suf-
fered by thousands of workers from
responding to advertisements of GER
tain employers for thousands of men
when jobs are available for only a
few hundred, Mr.. Green pointed out
that these hardships can be avoided
by registering with the local offices
of the State Employment Service,
which in cooperation with the trade
unions are seeing to it that regis
trants are not victimized by long
Journeys to apply for jobs that do
not exist.
"Thus the Government" Mr.. Green
concluded, sis endeavoring to wipe
out the kind of practices which bring
hardship and suffering to the work
ers, and clog the wheels of produc-
ton. 1t is offering to workers and
employers a free service which should
bring to the factory doors qualified
men and women for the jobs inside
And it is finding jobs for our un-
employed.

Minority Would

Report recommends reducing the
maximum contribution rate on taxable
payrolls Of employers from 40 per
cent to 81 per cent.
2.-Minimum rate or per cent. The
Report recommends reducing the
minimum contribution rate on taxable
payrolls of employers from 10 per
cent to or per cent.
3.-COntribution rates at or per
cent intervals. Present contribution
rates under the merit rating system
are 10 per cent, 1.5 per cent, 20 per
cent, 2.5 per cent, 80 per cent, and
40 per cent. The Report proposes
to reduce the gaps between rates by
schedule beginning at or per cent,
0.9 per cent, IL per cent and so on
up to 80 per cent, with the maximum
rising from 90 per cent to 81 per
cent.
4.-Maximum excess ratio of 1870
per cent. In order to make it easier
for more employers to enjoy the mini
mum rate Of or per cent, the Report
proposes that the present provision
which requires an excess of contribu-
tions over benefits charged equal to
$50 per cent or more of the employ
er's average annual payroll-be re.
duced to 1870 per cent or more.
5.-Minimum excess ratio of 60 per
cent. In order to insure that fewer
employers with some excess of con.
tributions over benefits charged will
pay the highest rate for such en-
ployers, the Report proposes that the
present provision-some excess but
under so per cent-be changed to al
excess of SO per cent or less.
6.-Excess ratios at 0.5 per CEN
intervals. In order to make it easier
for more employers to enjoy reduced
rates under the merit-rating provis
; ions, the Report recommends that thu
excess ratios drop at 0.5 per cent in
tcrvals, instead of the 20 and 80 pc
cent intervals provided in the presen
: Law.
Although the recommendations fo,
contribution reductions were proposed
through the merit-rating provisions o
the Law, the Report indicated tha
an themselves, these recommend
ations imply neither an endorsement
nor rejection of the principle o
merit rating"
The public members signing th'
minority Report promised to issue al
additional Report within week deal
) ing with the manner of computing
claimants weekly benefit amount. Thi
additional Report, they indicated
would recommend a single, specif
formula applicable to all claimants
and would be offered as their solution
to the controversy which has rage
for more than two years over thi
issue.

Stamp Planning a New Way


Some of the cotton surplus, which
for years has been burden on the
back of cotton farmers, is now being
turned into clothes on their back in
stead.
There are 212 million cotton-grow-
ing families in 19 southern States,
/. great numbers of whom are poor, i'll
fed, ill-clothed, and ill-housed, says the
GUIDE. "They get on an average
only $50 a person per year. Many of
them had no home gardens, no milk
cows, no hogs ano no chickens, be-
fore the new Cotton Stamp Plan went
into effect.
At the same time there were 1012
million bales of surplus cotton piled
up in warehouses by the U. S. Govern
: ment, for which there was no market.
Now the Department of Agriculture
says to these families: If you agree
to reduce the amount of land used for
cotton, you will receive a payment in
cotton stamps.
you can take these cotton stamps
to the stores in your community and
buy cotton clothes and cotton house
hold goods with them, or you can buy
cotton goods from certified mail order
houses and mail the stamps in pay
ment.
Every family-with certain eX'
ceptions-can earn top of $25 worth
of stamps
For each pound of cotton cut from
the individual production quota under
the regular cotton program, the Gov
ernment pays the family 10 cents il
cotton stamps
In addition, if the land taken ou
of cotton production is used for grow
ing home gardens, the family get:
enough money to buy seed for gar
den, if they want to use it that way
That makes for healthier and better
balanced diets.
Altogether it is estimated that this
stamp program will take 575
thousand bale bite into the cottol
surplus, what with the increase il
cotton goods farm families buy ant
decrease in cotton grown.
Farmers gain not only in cOttor
clothes they can buy and better diet!
they can have, but in the extra shove
downward given to the mountainous
surplus of cotton which keeps batting
the price of cotton on the head. Ant
out of every dollars worth of cottol
stamps spent for cotton goods, 8!
cents will go to workers and the peo
pie along the line from gins and mills
to retail stores.
Save on Health With Dry Skim Mil
Three and half ounces Of dr.
skim milk mixed with 3A cups o
water has the approximate dietar
value of a quart of fluid skim milk
Add 1l3ounces of butter to your die
and you have approximately the sam
food values as in quart Of who'll
milk.
Dry skim milk has the best keepin
quality and the lowest price of any o
the dried milk products. 1t is par
ticularly valuable addition to the die
of low income families. 1t supple
