This was revealed in a directive
by Illinois State Department of
Labor, dated November z. The
edict calls for new complicated
QUESTIONABLE to be filled out by
jobless applicants.
The applicants are also hand
ed notice telling them they

employment
WHO ordered the breakdown

The State Department of La
Dor offices here declared that the
Veterans Administration had or
dered the move.
VA spokesman declared, how
ever, that they knew nothing
of such orders.
VIEWED BY social workers as
the state administrations answer
to the campaign of the Chicago
Tribune and other reactionary
newspapers against the so-called
1920 club, the new procedure
requires all persons who have re-
ceived benefits for ten or more
weeks to fill out a confusing
QUESTIONABLE after receiving a
warning notice..
Claimants, after being told that
I'VE plan to re-examine your
claim, are required to give what
amounts to a complete detailed
history of their efforts to find
work, during the period they have
been receiving benefits.
The QUESTIONABLE is loaded
with "catch" questions, designed
TO trick claimants into contradict

fusing wording of questions an

QUESTION number 7, for ex-
ample, asks whether or not a
claimant can accept full-time
work Immediately. Since those
who receive unemployment bene-
fits must certify every week tina:
they are available for full-time
work, purpose of this question in
