WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Ray Loman, Republican House
member from Lake county, made the
statement at the unemployment COM
pensation hearing last week that J.
Neill's lumber company had been
encouraged to set up year-round en-
ployment because of the low rate
they had been paying into the NC
fund before the rates went up to
2.7%.
What Mr.. Loman didn't tell the
legislature at the public hearing was
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-01-20

that J. Neills has actually set up a
separate corporation to handle sea-
sonal employees so they don't have
to pay 2.7@o to the state fund on
their entire force as the rest of us

honest, do.
