NEW YOR KIP - The dream of
many an hourly worker-the Job
security in the form of a guaran.
eed annual waoe--iS one of the
.ssues in the steel wage-price dis.
,ute.
TIE steel union is asking the
companies to agree TO pay at least
.ree-fourths of wat a worker
would make if he worked all year
,ong, whether there's that much
work for him at the mill or not in
my one year. But the Wage Sta.
oiiization Board is not buying any
Of that squahble. II is tossing it
sack for management and the
union tc discuss iurther.
Other issues will probably decide
whether there's an agreement or
steel strike. But the drive for a
guaranteed annual wage will doubt
seSs crc) up again in other in,
luStries. Interest in it, at low ehb
IN periods G. full employment,
-evives when men are Icing laid
Ief and neoole start fretting about
lie chances &: another depression.
Demand as usual, will be strong
est in Industries having wide ups
and downs in jobs-wlfere the
workers are haunted most by The
fear of unemployment. And here
management will be the hardest
to convince, arguing that it's hard
| to foresee tAese cyclical swings,
that they often are caused by
nationwide or worldwide condi-
ti0ns beyond the compapy's control
and that to agree to such plan
| is to sign blank check.
mo company, however strong
financially. can long afford to pay
| for work that is not performed, !
the Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York points out.
To which labor leaders reply that
| if financially obligated to pay for
part c. the time man is laid OF.
management might have more in
centive TO plan steady employ
ment. Labor points to some in
dustries. now depressed, who over
produced at a fast rate and now
lare under-producing while getting
over the binge but with many q
their employees out Of work mean,
while. Labor contends that 4 little
better management might have
prevented that.
Another argument for the guar,
anteed annual wage is its tendency
to stabilize wage earners' plirchas-
ing power. helping the entire econ.
omy. But the Guaranty Trust, ii
its April survey. holds that this
| stabilizing effect is very sincer-
| tain and probably very limited. !" II
also calls the result Of paying 4
worker for not working imitation
ary.
And the company, in assuming
Il
the cost of guaranteeing wage,
with or without products resulting,
would pass that cost on in higher
prices, the bank says.
Companies with guaranteed wage
plans that have proved successful
have mostly been those in which
employment is relatively stable
naturally, or with seasonal rather
than cyclical variations. Seasonal
swings can be predicted and met,
The steel companies argue that
unemployment in their industry Is
cyclical, depending upon demand
for steel, which the industry can't
control.
None of this, of course, answers
the workers question: How can
he be sure his family is going 10
have the income it needs the year
around?
The answer, the bank thinks, is
unemployment compensation fath.

a FumiIy Prayer

BY Robert Louis Stevenson
Lord, behold our family here
assembled. We thank Thee for this
place in which we dwell; for the
love that unites us; for the peace
accorded us this day; for the hope
with which we expect the morrow;
for the health, the work, the food,
and the bright skies that make our
lives delightful; for our friends in
all parts Of the earth
Give US grace and strength to
fOrbear and to persevere. Give us
courage and gaiety and the quiet
mind. Spare to US our friends, soft
en- to us our enemies. Bless us, if
it may be, in all our innocent en-
deavors. If it may not, give us
strength to encounter that which
is to come, that we be- brave in
peril, constant in tribulation, tenn
perate in wrath, and in all changes
Of fortune, and down to the gates
Of death, loyal and loving to one
another.

Likins A senior

Liking a senior Is no fun at all;
I am short, and he is so tall
As I gaze in wonder at his
deep blue eyes,
The looks he gives me always
brings sighs.
He considers me ignorant; a no
account.
Yet, still my affections have
no amount.
My waking thought, "WiIl / see
him today?"
Is always rewarded with, ''Not
down this way"
Liking senior is torture, no end
He won't even consider being
my friend.
He walks down the street but
won't speak to me,
And Wistfully / think of how
nice it would be;
If he'd only take time out to
try to be nice,
But have the impression that
his hearts made of ice.
Not all high school seniors are
high-hat like he,
BHt he's the exception, it seems
to me.

CLUB CORNER
Rifle Club News

A great deal of progress has
been made since the last report
on this club. A charter for it was
secured from the National Rifle
Association, filled in, and submit
ted with appropriate bylaws. A
popular vote was taken on a name
for our organization and IN. H. S.
SharpshOOters" was adopted. An
election of officers was also held,
the results Of which are as fol-
lows: Richard Wilson, president;
Ken Phillips, vice-president; Bill
Chandler, secretary; Bobby Glen
daniel, treasurer; and Jack Webb,
executive officer.
Dues for the IN. H. S. Sharp
shooters" are to be fifty cents a
semester to help pay for targets,
ammunition, and the other neces-
sary expenses acquired by the club.
AS soon as our affiliation with the
N. r. A. is established, we will be
eligible for free rental Of ten rifles
and some ammunition; however, at
the present time, there is a wait
ing list for these rifles and our
club members will have to have
their own temporarily.
The club has a bullet trap being
constructed by Mr. Davidson and
his students. This trap was design
ed by Mr.. Chandler Of SOckrider
and Chandler, jewelers., here in
Milford The tran. when comDleted.
will be 1S feet long, 4 feet wide,
6 feet high, and capable of accom-
modating eight men firing at one
time. This trap will weigh 1900
lbs, and should be ready for use in
the High School auditorium right
after the Christmas holidays.
We hope that by the middle of
the spring semester the IN. H. S.
Sharpshooters" will have a repre-
sentative five-man team that will
take on all comers.
