BILL WOULD
BAR STRIKES
Measure Now In the Senate
WOulk Prohibit Strikes
By State Employees
TEACHER PROVISION

A bill was passed by the House
Tuesday, and sent to the Senate
for consideration, which would out
law strikes against the state, coun-
ties or cities-and provide that
any government employe who was
a member of union thirty days
after the effective date of this
act" could not be paid from state
appropriated funds. Six Demo-
Gratis joined 81 Republicans in pro-
ducing 27 votes favoring the mea-
sure, against four votes, all DEM
ocrats, opposed. The bill, now in
the hands of the Senate, would
make it unlawful for such state,
county, or city employees to leave
their jobs without their superior's
permission for the purpose of
changing their working conditions
or compensation.
Amendment Far-Reaching
One of the most far-reaching
provisions in the bill was part of
an amendment passed Tuesday, in
which it was specified that nc
state, county or city employe could
be member of a union-and if
they were 80 days after the mea-
sure became law, they would not
be paid from state money. The
bill, introduced on February 26 by
Rep. e. Cowgirl Barnard (R-Wood-
side), was amended Tuesday and
the amendment was passed, 25 tc
5, with Rep. Dudley Crossley ID
C1ayton), who later joined the Re-
publican majority on the final vote
sticking with the four Democrats
at this point. AS introduced the
bill made no provision for a teach
er, for example, to get permission
from her superiod officer to leave
her job in an effort to visit Dover
and talk with her senator or repre-
sentative about the conditions and
pay involved. The amendment, also
offered by Mr.. Barnard, provides
however, that a teacher could SC
leave her job if first authorized by
duly constituted authority" Sec.
ton two of the original is also
changed Importantly. Originally
it was stated that mo part of any
appropriation contained in any ap'
preparation bill passed by the Gen
eral Assembly. shall be used tt
pay the salary or part of the sal
ary or wages of a person" violat
ing the bill. The penalties for VIC
lations include fines ranging from
$40 to $500 and-or Imprisonment
ranging up to one year.

ACC JOB RATE
is EXPLAINED
Disabled Jobless Compensa-
tion Unaffected by
Forced Lay-0ff
HANDICAP LABOR

Disabled veterans or other hand
icapped workers may be employed
for a training period without ad-
verse effect on firms contribu-
tion rate, employers were remind
ed by Albert Stetser, chairman-ex-
ecutive director of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission.
Explaining the provisions of a
measure passed at the last session
of the Legislature under the spon-
sorship of George P. Edmonds,
then state senator, encouraging the
use of handicapped workers, Mr..
Stetser said he believed that in
view of present efforts towards
getting disabled veterans jobs this
was an appropriate time to remind
employers of this provision in the
Unemployment Compensation Law
ANY employer can try a person
with some physical limitation on a
job for test period up to go
days." Mr.. Stetser explained, land
if he finds it necessary to lay that
individual off because he cannot
perform the duties that the job re-
quires there will be no charge
against the employer for exper-
ience rating purposes. Therefore
such employment can have no ad-
verse effect upon his future contri-
button rate. Before the war indus
try in general had already had a
successful record in the use OF
handicapped workers. During the
industrial war effort, successful
employment of such workers dem
onstrated time and time again that
physical limitations not directly
related to specific job in no way
limit a mans ability to do gooc
days work."
