There are today approximate

ing state unemployment insur-
ance, and you can add that to
your pet list of inconsistencies of
war, taking into full considera-
ton the fact that there is sup
posed 10 be a manpower short
age.
This figure has dropped 10
per cent from a level of 800, 900
as of a year ago, and from a
peak of 100000 in June, 1910,
but Federal Bureau Of Employ
ment Security officials do not
believe this number will ever be
entirely eliminated, even when
the armed services have their
IL million men and women and
civilian industry has reached
the idyllic and Utopian condition
of so-called full employment.
Examination of the various
classes and the conditions of the
quarter-million workers W
drawing unemployment compen-
sation gives little light on why
this must apparently be so, &C
cording to the Social Security
Board point of view.
In the first group are war in
dustry workers temporarily laid
off. The cause of the layoffs may
be shortage of materials, lack OF
parts for assembly, change in de-
sign of some piece of war equip
ment making necessary a retool-
ing of the factory. State unem-
plOyment compensation offices
now have better checkup on
workers than they ever had, SC
applicants for unemployment in
surance must present proof that
they have left job for good
cause before they can begin to
draw benefits. Also, there is a
compulsory waiting period be-
fore the temporarily unemploy-
ed can begin to collect in most
states, so there is little chance to
fake the record and cash-in

lect compensation, but here
again are checkups. Beneficial
ries must report regularly at en-
ploymcnt offices and must take
the first bona fide offer Of job
in their particular trade. Me-
chanics aren't compelled to take
farm jobs. or vice versa, nor are
workers compelled to take jobs
that require extreme inconven-
ience in travel to and from work
or the taking Of job in another
community, requiring a worker
TO move or be separated from his
family. The Indiana proposal
that all unemployed must take
farm jobs met violent opposition,
so was never ordered or en-
forced.
Workers living in communities
remote from war production
centers make up the third and
probably the largest of the
groups Of unemployment insur-
ance beneficiaries. Twenty per
cent of all the benefits paid go to
workers in the New York City
area, which got comparatively
few war contracts and is today
the biggest surplus labor supply
area in the country. This New
York labor market situation is
of course an old story, but one
about which no one has been
able to do anything construc-
tive. Most surplus workers are in
the needle trades. Many are old
or workers, unable to learn a
new trade, unwilling to move
out of New York.
WORKING WIVES
Working wives, on the fringe
of the labor force, make up the
fourth group. Many were per-
Suaded to take war jobs, some
times against their better judg
ment, sometimes through sheer
patriotism and a desire to help
win the war. When layoffs come,
these working wives are often
the first to be dropped, but hav-
ing been gainfully employed,
they are eligible for benefits if
they register with the employ
ment offices as willing to take
another job.
