she guessed it would take long

She feared the bahy-sitter who

Mrs Morrow TAFT said she and

Alaska Territorial Federation
Of Labor Drops Controversial
Experience Rating Case Now

The Alaska Territorial Federation
of Labor by a majority vote OF its
Executive Board, has decided to
drop action in the controversial Ex-
perience Rating case now up for
appeal in the Appellate Court in
San Francisco. Thomas j. Moore,
Executive Secretary for the Aft OF
L. made the announcement today
This does not mean that the
ATT of L or the AT of L nationally
favor Experience Rating" Moore
laid in the statement to the press.
Labor is against Experience Rat
ing at this time. would like to
include in my statement, excerpts
from a book called fundamentals
of Labor Economics" by Friedrich
Baerwald, LID, associate profess
sor of Economics at Fordham Uni
yersity. have many other sources
available but feel this source more
impartial than some of the others.
Prof. Baerwald reviews Unemploy-
ment Compensation and Experience
Rating thoroughly. Then he makes
this point.
1.-The arguments in favor of ex-
perience rating seem irrefutable at
first sight," Prof. Baerwald writes.
But although they appear fair and
economically sound they do not
stand a closer examination. While
it is true that experience rating APP
plies the insurance principle of adj
justing premiums to risks, it is often
overlooked that its application to the
risk Of unemployment violates al
together an equally important as
pect of all insurance systems, the
pooling of risks We have to face
the fact realistically that in every
system of insurance the good risks
have to carry the bad risks. If un-
employment compensation is to be
safeguarded in this country against
the possibility of breakdown, ex-
perience rating has to be reconsid-
cred.
DELEGATES VIEWS
quite recently Delegate E. l..
Bartlett made a similar statement
before meeting of the Sc Alaska
Fishermen and Cannery Workers in
Juneau" Moore continues. This
is the statement made by Delegate
Bartlett and it echoes many OF the
thoughts brought out in Prof. Baer-
walds book:

Mr.. Moore stated that the recent
meeting of the NC Commission, with
two Of the three Commissioners IN
attendance, did not surprise him
when, the Board recommended re-
tention of the Experience Rating
amendment. CThis was announced

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Loyman

Our habits in sitting and standing
and walking, in reading and sewing
and studying, all play their part in
the way we look. A tremendous diff
ference can be made in personal
appearance If we take heed of this
fact.
The habit Of slumping over desk
or sewing machine or in a chair,
will give you round shoulders. We
should always place our hips back
toward the back of the chair and
then bend from the waist with a
straight back, rather than slumping
forward. The habit Of sitting on
your spine. slumped down in a
chair, will give your posture a
caved-in look, with head protruding
forward and spine curved.
II you are accustomed to looking
down when you walk, to sleeping on
a big pillow, to standing with the
weight on one foot rather than
equally divided between both feet,
to carrying heavy books always n-
der the same arm, your head Is
almost certain to push ahead of
you and you may very well develop
curvature Of the spine, which is
often evidenced by one shoulder and
hip being higher than the other.
Daily we mold our contours by
the physical attitudes we assume
Good posture is in itself fine exer-
else. Line and contour are in
fuenced by everyday habit. If you
"let go" with your abdominal mus
cles and allow your hips to swing out
in the back and your knees to be
tense, you are sure to develop sway
back and feel tired. This places a
strain on the igaments and muscles
because it throws the body off bal
ance. It also ruins your figure.
Most of us spend about third
Of our lives in bed If we get that
good eight hours of sleep. Many
Of us also read in bed, which adds
even more hours. If you read with
pillows under your head you are
most apt to develop deep lines in
your neck under your chin. You
may also strain your eyes.
The lightweight back rests which
can be placed on bed are most
helpful. If you haven't one of these
a chaise lounge is beneficial. There
is nothing more pleasant or restfu
than reading in bed or in relaxed
state. 1t might be good idea
however, to think of the repercus-
sions in youthfulness by safeguard
ing your figure and your neck by
the postures you use.
