Rieve, in assailing the major
ity's recommendation that the
payment by employers be cut,
with the employee paying more,
pointed out that this would be
equivalent to a wage cut OF
about / cent an hour with no
appreciable gain for the en-
ployee.
II have never accepted the
idea that the unemployment in
surance contribution should be
split equally between employers
and employees. l certainly can
not agree to the idea that work
erS will show sufficient interest
in unemployment insurance only
if they pay for it," he said. In
New Jersey in spite of ernploye
contributions for this program,
the State CIO has been unable
to secure representation on the
state advisory council and labor
has lost representation on ap-
peAIs boards.

You had the use of them all

Earl Williams and Eddy Meri-

two chickens each. Earl gave his

heard this, with tears in his eyes
he also gave his away, or did he
just carry them out of the shop
for you, Eddy?

Employment Outlook
Shaky, Despite
Rosey Predictions
CLEVELAND (LPA) -

CLEVELAND (LPA) - Altho
some business economists and
statisticians last week at the
meeting of the American Statis-
tical Assn predicted a record
high for employment in 1949,
the cool heads thought other
wise.
DR.. Emanuel A. Goldenweiser
of the Institute of Advanced
Study, after listening to the op-
timistic forecasts remarked that
such guesses are right only about
once out of every three times,
and said the business advisors
are far too bland.
While pointing to "a number
of cushioning factors" even
Donald B. Woodward, vice
president of the giant invest
ment combine, Mutual Life In
surance Co., had to admit that
"the betting odds are that the
next move in business activity
will be down.
Actual figures published by
reliable government sources last
week seem to back up the pessi-
mists more than the C heery
souls. The Census Bureau re-
vealed that in 1948 the avail
able US working force reached
an all time peak of 63,842,000
workers, with 51,932,000 for
non-agricultural in dustry -
5,6000,000 more than during the
war.
But, said the Labor Dept ac-
tual employment in mid-Novem-
Der had declined to 45,700, 900
non-farm workers, 10000 be-
low the October level. And this
despite the fact than in prepara-
ton for the Christmas season
wholesale and retail employ
ment had gone up by 100000.
Then last week a number OF
railroads announced extensive
layoffs, the Chesapeake & Ohio
dismissing as many as 5000
workers while the New Haven &
Hartford announced that it will
shortly make extensive" reduc.
tions in its 23,000-man payroll
Much of this rail worker un.
employment Is linked to produc.
ton declines and layoffs in the
coal mines which began severa.
months ago.
| These grim developments were
reflected in the December 4 re-
port of unemployment claims
filed with the Federal Security
Agency. FSA revelaed that bene-
fit claims for the week numbered
1,075,900, or $4,000 more than
the previous week. New unem-
ployment in the food processing
textile, and clothing industries
as we'll as seasonal unemploy-
ment in construction and lum-
bering are involved.
Further contraction of Job
opportunities, as we'll as more
concentration of business in the
hands of big corporations was
foreshadoWed in year-end re-
ports that number of large
firms plan to do all their own
work and cut out subcontract-
ing. The ACF-Brill bus manu-
featuring company was one cor
poration taking this position and
there are indications that the
Ford Motor Co. will follow suit.

THE HOUSING BILL and THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

OAAAsD
WHEN HI PRESIDENT signed the Housing Bill
hopes ran high (are still high that somehow the Virgin
Islands will benefit thereby, and that shortly we shall see
the development of housing projects SO badly needed
throughout the Islands. Under the bill private ENTERPRISE
may avail itself of financial help and thus carry out what
ever programs are planned, but not capable of execution
heretofore. Individual owners who think in terms Of need
ed repairs and extensions also have an opportunity, provid-
ing the benefits of the bill are extended this far, to make
good use of the bill.
WE IN ST. CROIX are needfdl Of housing, particularly
low cost housing. 1t requires but a flying trip to sections
OF both towns in order to see the great need. Many of the
houses are long out of repair. Roofs are in poor condition,
floors gone, many without cisternS or other means of Stor-
ing water, and normal toilet facilities, in many an instance,
is lacking. How wonderful it would be if, within a few
years, both of our towns could boast of the benefit of i'm
proved housing, clearing out sbm areas, and making avail
able to families of low income homes fit to live in. Out of
such a situation naturally develops better citizenship, a new
lease on life, and greater pride and participation in the pro-
gress of the community.
N IF AND WHEN such a program comes to these
shores, let us make certain that it does not follow the
line of all federal projects. 1t is now known by everyone
that regardless of the extensive and ambitious plans laid
out in the blueprint stage, by the time work actually gets
under way, the project falls far short Of even the most
modest expectations. And this has always been a great
source of concern and disappointment to us, for consist
emily, somewhere between the planning and the execution
the project, regardless of what may be, u~ndergoes sudden
and sweeping changes, and this island ends up at the short
end And the grGndiOse public FORKS program is no er-
ception.

W7HEN you leave your car in

of finding it still there when you
return?
Automobile stealing is one of
the nations most prevalent crimes
today. According to an official FBI
report, Car thieves make away with
someone's precious four-wheeled
locomotion once every l8O sec
onds. In l947 more than 81 cars
were stolen every hour:
Old-time car snatchers used to
pick the lock of a car door with a
''jiggler," a hacksaw blade cut
down to the size of a nail file. The
ignition lock was defeated by
pulling out the wires back OF the
lock and connecting them to a

both operations in two minutes.
