We have been saying for long
time that Qhio's unemployment
compensation law is too narrow, re-
strictive and technical. We have
proved from Federal Government
Statistics that, percentagewise,
Ohio disqualifies more unemploy-
ment compensation claimants than

and on one occasion had been fol
lowed home by two mens On an
other, she had been beaten and
robbed of $50 on her way home.

upon convenience than upon
safety"

good sense.
