JOBLESS BENEFIT FUND
REACHES RECORD HIGH

Hartford, Conn. (ILNS).-Connec-
ticut's unemployment compensation
fund has reached a total of S154,675,-
101, an all-time high, Cornelius j.
Danaher, administrator of the En-
ployment Security Division announc
ed The fund has been built up by
contributions from employers since
1886 and has made rapid increases in
recent years.
Administrator Danaher emphasized
that the fund should prove to be of
great benefit during the reconversion
period. A total of S100,000,000 in
benefits may be paid out in the 2
years Immediately following the close
of the war.
"Not only will this amount be turn
ed into purchasing power" Danaher
said, "but it will assure the tempor-
arily unemployed that money will be
supplied for their basic needs, thus
encouraging them to spend some OF
their accumulated savings for other
necessities and semi-luxuries, which
means that many more millions in
purchasing power will be released.
This should eliminate the possibility
of any depression such as occurred al
the end of the last war"

A warning that national response
bility can be "blunted" by prejudice
and that even "our All-American
team of government, management
and labor can tumble in the winning
drive for victory" was given by War
Manpower Commissioner Paul Y. Nc
Mutt, addressing American Fedora
ton of Labor delegates at the NUM-
cipal Auditorium.
The tall, white-haired ex-governor
of Indiana, oft referred to as the
"Adonis of American Politics." ar
rived in New Orleans by train last
Tuesday.
Although the overall manpower
program has succeeded, shortages in
trucks and other must war goods
continue, he said.
Color Line
sIt is a fact" he said, "that even
under the pressure of war, some atti-
tudes change slowly.
"What happens to the worker who
responds to a patriotic appeal to
leave his job in less essential in
dustry to work in critical industry.
'In some states such a-worker will
lose his security against unemploy-
ment. After ne accepts negotiated
transfer, requested or urged by the
War Manpower Commission, he will
lose his unemployment insurance
rights. Some state legislatures have,
to date, not yet seen the need for
liberalizing such provisions.
"I say that is fumbling the ball on
the 10-yard line.
"Our generals want trucks, foun-
dries want man power, and yet IN
some communities the color-line is
allowed to take precedence over the
all-American line in time of war. In
other communities where foundries
need man power, there is inadequate
housing for non-Americans, nom
whites and other minority groups.
Management in some foundries is
still producing non-essential products.
"What is the answer?
"Not a national conscription act for
labor. We Americans are out-produc-
ing the slave factories of the enemy
and his non-union plants with free
American labor.
"The answer to all our problems is
revitalized sense of responsibility
to the American people, including
Americas fighting men. The team of
management, labor and government
must assume this responsibility, one
that will cut across all sectional, re-
gional industrial class and race
lines"
The VINO director said that far
too many people consider that we are
"over the hump" in our war produc-
ton job. "Some Americans" he said,
"have already hitched up the victory
band wagon and gone for premature
victory hayrides."

fall of Germany occurs-and to date

Secretary of Labor Perkins urged
that employers, workers, safety ex-
perts and state labor departments
combine forces to stop the increase in
job accidents in the woodworking in
dustries.
Big Production Loss Cited
"The 1943 record showed a loss due
to job accidents of more than 8 mil
hon man hours of production that
should have gone into supplying ma
terials for such critical war items as
pontoon bridges, trailers, aircraft,
and making all types of wooden con-
tainers for war supplies" Miss Per-
kins said.
planning mills and wooden con-
tainer\ factories last year lost the
output in whole or in part of more
than 1880 workers, piling up an
accident frequency more than double
the national average for manufacture
ing and four times greater than that
of the hazardous iron and steel in
dustry with a rate of TO-"
Other Drives Get Results
GAS for the Individual worker"
Miss Perkins pointed out, 81 out of
every 10 planning mill workers and /
out of every workers in wooden
container factories were injured in
1943. About Az million dollars was
paid out in compensation and medical
costs. The cost to individuals and
their families in human suffering
cannot be measured by statistics"
This is the third industry-wide ac-
cident prevention campaign launched
by the U. S. Department of Labor in
recent months. The slaughtering and
meat packing drive began last June
and paper and pulp got under way in
October.
Preliminary reports show substan-
tial progress toward the goal of 40
per cent reduction of accidents in
these industries.
During the drive scheduled for jan
uary to June, the more than $500
state of the Union and employing al
most 125,0C0 workers will receive
free safety consultation service by
the U. S. Labor Departments safety
engineers or by field safety agents of
the cooperating agencies. Safety
training courses will be offered for
supervisors, foremen and workers in
engineering colleges throughout the
country, in plants and elsewhere.
Unions Invited
California, New York, North Caro-
lima and Pennsylvania have the larg-
est number of planning mills, but
Tennessee, Washington and Wiscon-
sin, with fewer mills, represent large
concentrations of employment. In the
wooden container field states ac-
count for half of the plants-Cali-
fornia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

ence were the United Brotherhood of

will be no easy task and 1t will re-
quire real craftsmanship to accom-
plish successfully the work that will

For this reason every candidate for
office should be closely questioned
and his attitude definitely determined
upon labor's rights and position, with
special reference to the planks pre-
scented to both the major political
parties for inclusion in their official
party platforms. We should be guided
by their records of past performance
and attitudes and pledges toward flu

affiliations, for much depends upon
those who will administer our nation

the era just ahead.

people. The selection of those who
represent us is one of the privileges
