20 Weeks Work
Required To Get
Unemployment Pay

COLUMBUS, O.-An unem-
.ployed person is not eligible to
collect benefits if he has work
ed in less than 20 weeks and
earned less than $3.50 in a
legally defined period prior to
the filing of his claim, the
Board of Review of the Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation
ruled today.
In two unanimous decisions,
involving Elyria and Columbus
workers respectively, the Board
upheld previous rulings of the
administrator under which the
claimants had been found lack
ing the minimum work require
ments during their base periods
The base period-as defined
by LAWS the first four of the
last five calendar quarters OF
employment Immediately prior
to the filing of valid claim for
benefits. For example, the base
period of a worker who files a
claim as of Monday, April H.
1949, would run from January
1, 1948, to December 81, 1948
inclusive.

Job Placement
After a person has undergone
period of treatment that has
improved him physically and
has had a course of study or
training to prepare him to do a
job correctly, we encounter the
problem of placement. Place
ment is important because the
greatest danger to handicapped
person is idleness. 1t is interest
ing to note in conjunction with
the industrial placement of ply
sically handicapped people, that
when they are correctly placed
they really do a job. A recent
report concerning blind work
erS who have been rehabilitated
into industry was given me by
the Director of the Society for
the Blind. He said that the taxes
paid by the blind who are now
in industry in the United States
were more than the entire cost
of rehabilitating them into in
dustry. In other words, they
have adjusted so well in COM
petition with sighted workers
that the taxes they pay on in
come and property more than
compensates the government for
its expenses in their behalf. Fur
thermore, there are reports
available that in d C tie that
handicapped persons who have
been trained to take their place
in industry are less liable to
have serious accidents than are
apparently normal people. This
is partly due to the fact that
these workers appreciate their
physical limitations and take
fewer chances. 1t also is because
most of them have undergone
pre-ehployment e X m nations
and have been placed in jobs in
industry that fit their physical
ability. There have been rumors
that industries employing handi-
capped people have high indus
trial insurance rates. This is not
true, because insurance rates do
mot go UP with the employment

Never Too Old
TO Join Coop

Last week an elderly gentle
man walked into the office OF
the Coop, Memorial Hall, and
announced that he had $25 he
wanted to spend for a share OF
membership stock in the Toledo
supermarket warehouse ven
ture. Needless to say, he was ac-
commodated.
The fact that this man had
trekked to the headquarters on
foot, with the help of a cane, de-
spite some rheumatism that
bothered him, called for a bit OF
a look-see, thought Edward
Duck, Coop organization di-
rector. He wanted to talk to this
man, he thought.
II developed that MIR. Henry
f. Fischer, l16 10th Street, had
read about the Coop in the To-
ledo Union Journal AT his room
ing house, he explained, there
are about six CIO members
who receive the paper, and
thus he had been able to follow
the Co-Op's organizing cam
paign
MIR. Fischer is presently an
old-age pensioner. He and Duck
had quite a discussion on the
problems of old-age pensioners
and the need for greater benefits.
They discussed Co-Ops too.
When he left, he took with him
an assortment of free literature
on co-ops, and it is safe to say
that he will not be the only
member from 1l6 10th Street
very long.
A real pioneer in organized
labor, Mr.. Fischer first joined
the AFL Operating Engineers in
1897, and from his conversation
/ ii was easily seen that he didn't
miss much in the understanding
of matters that pertain to work
ing people, says Duck.

Coal Union S
Pension AGE
Cut To 60

A new Improvement in old
age pensions for coal diggers
was chalked off this week by
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers. He won
a fight to reduce the retirement
age of miners from 81 to 6O,
with pensions as now of Sl0O a
month after 20 years of service.
The victory was scored through
the Miners Welfare and Retire
ment Fund. of which Lewis IS
chairman. The other trustees are
Ezra Van Horn for the operators
and Sen. Styles Bridges (R.,
N.H.) neutral. Bridges sponsor
ed the resolution for the change.
In a statement issued for the
trustees, Bridges said actuaries
had advised him that from the
standpoint of long-range financ-
ing it would make no appreci-
able difference to make the
payments either at 81 or 60"
Will this bring a big increase
in the number of miners going
on the pension rolls? Bridges
said no. THE experience of the
pension fund thus far, he de-
clared, would seem to indicate
that the majority of miners pre-
fer to continue to work so long
as they are physically able
rather than TO retire"
AS expected, the action
brought blast from Joseph
Moody, president of the South
ern Coal Producers Assn.
Moody protested that the action
''means what Lewis said last
year - that he was going to
confront the operators with an
accomplished fact.
Earlier the policy committee
of Moody's association held a
secret session in Washington at
which strategy was mapped for
a purported Showdown" battle
with Lewis in forthcoming nego-
tiations on a new contract to re-
place the existing one expiring
June 30.
News reports disclosed that
the Southern operators are
trying to mobilize support from
other operators to resist the un-
ions demands - and provoke a
strike rather than enter into an
acceptable settlement.
Operators are claiming they'll
have superior bargaining power
now because coal surpluses are
piling up, but Vice President
Thomas Kennedy, in a speech
before miners at New Kensing-
ton, Pa, made il clear the union
plans an all-out fight for i'm
proved conditions. He indicated
a reduction in the present work
week will be a major demand.
Hours should now be read
justed to the new requirements
which will stabilize production
spread and equalize employment
and keep the coal economy on a
sound basis" Kennedy said.

of handicapped persons who
have been properly placed
Regardless of the amount of
work done to rehabilitate GER
tain individuals there are a few
who are so badly handicapped by
their illness or injury that they
are unable to take their place at
machine or work bench. These
are the people who will have to
do their work at home, or in a
special shop of some type where
they will have the supervision of
people particularly skilled in
Supervising the handicapped.
People who must have this spe-
cial type of working condition
have difficulty in marketing the
products they manufacture at a
price that gives them a reason
able return for the laborS they
have performed. Considerable
work is now being done in de-
vlslng a market for this mer-
chandise, but as yet this develop
ment is still in an elementary
stage. When one is so handi-
capped that he is unable to 60
into the working world and COM
pete with normal people, he
often becomes mislead by his
idea of the Importance of manu-
featuring merchandise goods.
Occasionally these people cannot
produce quantity or quality of
work that makes merchandising
feasible. For these people the
important thing is to have some
thing to do. Idleness is the most
serious hazard to a handicapped
person. Any activity, whether it
produces significant income or
not, has a beneficial effect in
that it occupies time, and time
weighs heavily when it must be
spent in forced idleness. Remem-
ber that it pays to help these
people to help themselves. Every
handicapped person who can be
trained for a productive job is
one more useful citizen, one less
candidate for public support.

Fails
To Provide
Continued from Page l

strong, serious pockets of un-
employment are cropping up in
a number of consumer goods
industries.
"Cuts in the average length
of the work week also are inn
posing serious burdens on hun
dreds of thousands of workers,
in addition to those who are
totally unemployed.
"This substantial increase in
unemployment and the emer-
gence of unemployment pockets
in many consumer goods indus
tries indicates the existance of
certain fundamental underlying
weaknesses in the A m e ric n
economic life.
Need Corrective Action
"While the months a h a
seem to promise "a fairly high
level of employment, the emerg-
ing weaknesses point to the need
for swift corrective action if we
are to avoid an eventual de-
preston.
"A decline also took place
in the preceding year, between
July 1947 and February 1948,
but in this case the seasonal
drop in employment was only
100000 workers. The drop be-
tween July 1946 and February
1947 was only a little more
than 100000 workers.
Again, the contrasting sizes
in the drops of employment
from July to February, less than
100000 in tn e 1947 1948
period and nearly 4,500,000 in
the 1948-1949 period, indicate
that some basic obstacles to full
employment are cropping up in
our economic system.
Zone factor very early
seems to be in the picture. Near
ly 100000 workers are being
added to the country's labor
force each year. This comes
about as young people come of
age and enter the labor market
seeking employment for the first
time, The number of such people
entering the labor market, at
present, exceeds the number
who withdraw because of old
age or disability by around
1000, 900"
