WOMAN'S CLUB
 HEARS TALK BY
 GOV. GRUENING
Club 10 Have Mass Meeting on Utilities Ques-
 lion Soon

A mass meeing will be called in the near future by the Juneau Wo- mans club to discuss public own ership of local utilities as a result of action taken by that organization yesterday. A committee from the club will study the problem and make a report at the open forum. Business and professional men and women and other interested persons are invited to attend this meeting, the date of which will be announced soon.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening was guest speaker yesterday at the monthly luncheon meeting; women legisla- tors and wives of members of the House and Senate were the honored guests.
 Governor Gruening gave talk on Democracy and the definite ob- legations which each American has in maintaining and safeguarding this precious possession which we so causually take for granted.
 In discussing the war and our part in this worldwide conflict the goy- ernor said: Germany made an theological assault as much as an as- sault by arms, proclaiming as its basic tenant that the average man is not fit to rule himself but must be ruled. The price that the world must pay to refute this tenant is staggering There is only, one thing more costly than fighting this wal and that is not to fight it."
 The speaker next turned his at tention to local obligations and priv ileges particularly those of the next 50 days during which the Territorial Legislature is in session. He re- minded his attentive listeners that there are two parts to defending democracy. Our sons,' he said, "are fighting over seas and suffering great hardships and the correllary oi that is the maintenance of our in- stitutions here at home.
 Our Legislature is here in it's full

cIa;ion with any persons of their own choosing
 He discussed the quality of the men who Framed the Constitution and how ideas of democracy have been changing since it's writing. How these first men were in part own CTS of slaves: later came the eman- cipation of the colored people; and sall later came the realization that man cannot enjoy life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness on an empty stomach--the importance of eccncinic security-the tragedy ot insecurity.
 The speaker asked the members of the club to focus their attention on the functioning of the Territor- ial government. He suggested that the women will finc. it stimulating enlightening and heartening to fol- low the work of their law makers He spoke with regret that no com plete record is kept of all that is said at the territorial sessions, that the galleries are so small that many { persons who should like are unable to attend He spoke too of the inn portance of helping themselves by helping the legislators, by support ing them by their presence when possible, by their encouragement and by their interest in the legis- lators actions and accomplishments Because. said Governor Gruening in the long run people get the kind Of government they deserve"
 He spoke of the enthusiasm ano willingness to work which the Leg islature is showing in, this seven teenth session, and asked the womer to do what they can to uphold anc work with the men and women SC engaged. In closing, the Govern CT reminded his audience that We {. can egress as well as progress ano that eternal vigilance is the prics of liberty"

That the fund could, however, be seriously depleted if there should occur sudden widespread unemploy- ment
 That there is at present no pro- vision for contribution to the fund by employees;
 That so far only five or six en- ployers have made application for voluntary coverage of their en- ployees.
 Payroll Levy
 MT. Sullivan explained that under the Federal law, the 2.7 per cent payroll levy collected from employ CTS by the Territory is a credit allowed the employer against the Federal 3 per cent tax. Employers of less than eight persons would, under the Green Bill, be liable to the Territorial agency for the 2.7 per cent of their payrolls, but would not have to pay the addi- tlonal 3 per cent to the Federal Government; as the Federal quali- flying basis of eight employees would remain unchanged. Sheldon Target
 Following MT. Sullivan, Robert E. Sheldon. executive Director of the Territorial Unemployment Com pensation Commission, was the target of the Senators questions. He stated that three additional en- ployees for his staff should be able to take care of the increased load that would be developed by pas sage of the bill under. considera- ] tiOn
 His commission. had, he said paid out a little less than S3O.00C in benefits from the S7,O0O,O ,OOO fund during l944, while approximately $l,500,000 had been received from employers during the year. He compared the benefits paid out last year to $35O,OoO paid in the year 1889.
 Senator Walker, pointing out that it had been stated that addi- tional records and forms to bt required of employers would be simple and easy to compile, illus trated the confusion that couIc exist in the simplest sort of arith- metical problem when he asked Sheldon's answer to the question:
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-02-07

1-Change from eight or more to one or more the number of em- ployees necessary to bring an .en- ployer liable to the provisions of the unemployment compensation act. It would thus broaden the act to encompass all employees not in specified excluded employments.
 2-Would open the coverage of the act to voluntary participation by an employer, no matter what his field of occupation. Employers in the specified excluded occupations (such as agriculture, governmental offices, domestic, etc) could, if they wished, obtain the benefits of the act for their employees.
 3-Would define casual labor (not in an employers regular pro- fession or business) and exclude it from coverage.
 Quizzed By Walker
 Senator N R. Walker, avowing his purpose to protect the interests of the small business man, queried Sullivan on the voluntary partici- patton phases of the act and as to the increased paper work that would be required of the small en- ployer. Senator Walker, who has in his pocket an amendment pro- posing to limit liability under the act to employers of four or more persons, drew from MT. Sullivan the information that at present 26 states are still operating on the eight employee basis, while 14 have already changed their laws to cover all employees.
 Does not that fact establish two to-one evidence that the law should be left as it is?" Senator Walker asked.
 Employees Employers
 Questions addressed to Sullivan by several Senators established that:
 The proposed legislation would bring within the Unemployment Compensation provisions an esti- mated 1000 additional employee. and 1,500 additional employers;
 That the special unemployment benefit fund of the Territory al present totals approximately sever million dollars;

Senate Hears Widened d Scope of Unemployment
 Act by Green Measure

That efforts to alter the provi- sions of the Green Unemployment Compensation measure, on which attention of the Territorial Senate was focused yesterday, will meet with strong opposition from the ranks of organized labor was mani fested in the mo compromise" at titude of labor representatives who were heard in the Committee of the Whole session that occupied the afternoon.
 Senate members, sitting in open hearing on Senate Bill No. 2, heard the intent and scope of the measure explained to them by of ficiaIs of the Territorial Unem- ployment Compensation Depart ment, and, in addition, heard the views of spokesmen from both the AFL and the CIO..
 O. s. Sullivan was the principal witness on behalf of the Terri torial administrative agency. He was first to be called to the stand and outlined the provisions of the bill, which had been prepared by his office at the request of Senator Joe Green, as being intended to bring about three changes in the present law; one of them a major change, the two others minor in effect.
 Sullivan Explains

What is one-half of two, plus two.' Two" was the reply. Senator Walker then counted on his fingers to demonstrate that three" would have been equally correct.
 Labor Expression
 Frank Marshall, organizer for the American Federation of Labor in Alaska, took the stand to speak the labor view which, he said, was completely in favor of widening the scope of unemployment com pensation benefits to include all workers. Asked by Senator Walker if his organization would not be satisfied with twice as much" as at present, he stated that the feel ing is general within labor ranks that just to reduce the limitation to four employees would be to "sell out' the workers in small es- establishments.
 T would consider it disgraceful IO dSlcc tO lSWSl tlidil CiSit Chi- ployes yet still discriminate against any" he declared.
 Marshall admitted that his unions had not used pressure on employers to further voluntary coverage, because such action might result in loss of support for a change in the law.
 In response to a question by Senator O. D. Cochran, who was in the chair for the hearing, MT Marshall stated his opinion that 1 labor would be glad to help pay it's own way" in order to provide better unemployment coverage, but that i've do not feel that present compensation benefits are suffi- cient."
 Speaking for the CIO, F. F. Davis stated the belief that the discrimi- nation of the present act should be eliminated. His organization would not oppose, he thought, paying part 1 of the cost, if all workers were brought within the scope of the act
 Declaring himself pledged to se- curing the passage of Senate Bill No. 2, as it stands, MT Davis said it would be just as well to let il go as compromise on discrimina- tion.''
 One other witness, Russell May nard, was briefly questioned be- fore, on motion of Senator Walker and after two full hours of discus sion, the Senate Committee of the Whole voted to arise and report progress"

WILL ADVISE
VETS ON FARMS

County agricultural advisory
committees to assist Returning
war veterans or industrial work.
ers desiring to enter farming,
are being organized in all Mon
tana counties having extension
agents, advises J.. c. Taylor,
director of the Montana Extern
sion service.
These county committees will
be set up in cooperation with the
agricultural planning com
m1tteeS and the service officer
of the Veterans advisory board
will be a member. Committee
members will be selected who
have different types of farms,
so the combined knowledge of
the group will provide answers
to most agricultural questions.
When organized, the committee
will visit farms of members for
the express purpose of thor
oughly analyzing all operations
and discussing the organization
of each.
These committees are being
set up according to a coopera-
tive arrangement between the
department of agriculture and
the Veterans bureau in WASH
ington, D. C. The Veterans bu-
reau already has named some
service officers in Montana and
expect to have them in about
rs counties. In other counties
advisory committees to give
similar service probably will be
formed.
When a county organization
i is complete, a returning veteran
or industrial worker will have
a definite route to follow in
getting established on a farm,
Director Taylor says. The vet
eran will first call on selective
service headquarters to complete
MS discharge papers. He will
then be directed to the local
service officer of the Veterans
advisory board. This board in
turn will refer him to the pro-
per organization.
II the veteran is interested
IN farming he will be referred to
the county extension agent and
the county agricultural advis-
DRY committee. He will be ad-
vlsed by this group about the
amount of land required, the
types of farming in that county,
the capital required, the safe
debt load, about farm manage
ment and operation, about
leasing and partnerships and
other points in which the vet
eran wants or should have in
formation.
