Security Mentioned.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 30 P)
-UnemDlovment -Insurance, includ-
lng old age security, was advanced by
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York, In an address before the
national governor's conference today,
ar. an economic necessity to meet
situations such as he said exists in the
United States at the present.
Shorter working days ana snorter
working weeks, better planning cs
work to prevent periods of unem
olovment. Increased public works.
while they may relieve unemployment
will not eliminate it, the New York
executive said.
"Unemployment Insurance wo shall
come to in this country Just as cer
tainly as we have come to workmen's
compensation for Industrial Injury,"
ho said, "Just as certainly as we are
today In the midst of a national
wave of insuring against old age
want.
Without Fault of Worker
f'Nihoty per cent of- unemploy
ment Is wholly without the fault of
tho worker. Other nations and gov
ernments have undertaken various
Bystems which Insure their workers
when unemployment comes. Why
should we. In the 48 states of our
union, fear to undertake the taster'
Ho warned against the possibility
of old-age Insurance "becoming a
mere dole." and also agalnBt "a
natural tendency to pay the cost of
unemployment Insurance out of cur
rent revenues of government."
Unemployment insurance upon an
actuarial basis. With the workers
themselves contributing to Its sup
port, was advocated as necessary to
the success of the plan.
Ono Short Step
Tho old-age security law passed
this year in New York he character
ized as "one short step" In the right
direction, and said the real solution
would create a fund, not contributed

although one Portland paper com
mented editorially that all tho other

mention was made of the fact that

legitimate one. All governors are
constantly being requested for copies
01 pictures for use by news bburcaus,
nowspapors, magazines, etc,, and all
the governors have Incurred this
Item of expense in connection with
the office. These photographs were
taken In January, contrary to tho
published statements that they were
taken Just bciore the election. An
investigation of the records of past
years will show that Governor Pat
tersons expense In this connection
during 1029 was greater than mine,
the bill for lUU being $60.76. For
the same purpose in 1928 $30 worth
of photographs was used and in 1027
$24.24. . . . The records disclose that
each year similar sums have been
used for such purposes, with glossy

15 Gunmen Raid
U. S. Warehouse
Of Liquor Stock
Whiskies. B randies and
Alcohol Worth $30,000
Hauled Away in Chi
cago District. '
CHICAGO, June 30 W") A govern
ment warehouse on Bouth Wabash
avenue was raided and robbed of
$30,000 worth of bonded liquor last
night by armed men.
E. C. Yellowly. recently placed In
charge of liquor permits, said the
robbers apparently were familiar with
the warehouse. They took only the
choicest liquors.
Included in the liquor stored In
the two-story warehouse were 400
cases of bonded whisky shipped to
Chicago from Jacksonville. Fla., pre
sumably by agents of Al Capone. and
seized by federal agents.
The possibility that the raid on
the warehouse last night was by
Capone gangsters seeking to recover
the seized liquor, Is being investi
gated. Mistaken by Watchman
Paul Perry, night watchman, was
alone when four men, each carrying
r, large can, appeared at tho entrance.
Perry thought they wore icaenu pro
hibition agonU bringing more liquor
for storatio. and he admitted them.
Gun barrols wero poked against his
side and he was bound, gagged and
blindfolded. The gang leaders then
admitted the others, ana tne tnree
hour job of carrying out the cases
of liquor to waiting trucka was be- j
gun.
The raid on tho warohouBe did not
ond until shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning. At least three truck loads
were taken away, a hurried Inspec
tion revealed.
Muny TrtpH Necessary
Tho liquor was stored on the sec
ond floor, and the night watchman
said that many trips were made by
the el ova tor in moving the cases to
the ground floor, where It was loaded
Into trucks. The raiders worked at
great speed, ho said. .
Police believe the raid may haye
been inspired by the desperate plttt
in which the liquor syndicates have
found themselves as result of the
recent police sir,' , Tho police
theory is n syi ," .'Indlng its
