Unemployment Insurance
'-;'- Article II: Arguments" for Insurance "
; I Second of Four Articles by John- D. JJinto .
i T71VEKY': important question
JLi on both sides of the issue
lights and principal features of the proposal.- In this unem
ployments insurance; is nol. exception -.The suggestion , that
we should insure employment has brought out many - argu
ments . both "for , and! against the scheme, some of which ar
well worth considering. ...
v f The -first claim that the pro-insurance people, make for
1 tnetr. ease is -me xact tnat mereo
vrlll be an. increased feeling of.
curity on the part ofthe working
vis.n anil 4h anK Acllni r411
man and that such a 'feeling will
undoubtedly -tend ! to Ishow itself
by the. production - of better. work
era the part of the workmen. There
is no doubt but that the feeling of
fear has in .many . cases caused
over anxiety and loss of efficiency."
As a ' psychological factor this
phase should not be overlooked. !.
One problem which has faced
the -supporters of unemployment
insurance is the factor Jot; actuarial
soundness of the proposition. Mr.
Abraham Epstein, executive secre
tary of the American! Association
for Old Age Security spoke as fol
lows on the "Question" before a U.
S. Senate special committee: ' -
- "The superiority of unemploy
ment i insurance lies in 1 the fact
that it makes use of one of the
greatest social methods 1 ever de
vise the principle of insurance.
it is the same principle which uh
derlies tire insurance, or " life in
surance. Few people can. with
stand the loss caused by ' extensive
fire, but, by the ; payment of a
small annual sum! they ! can pro
cure , protection agalnstr such a
loss, j blot' many people can feel
assured .that- through, their own
savings their wives and children
wiU be adequately protected after
death; ut by the payment of a
small sum annually, which they
can afford, they can 'secure this
protection. These great benefits
are made possible through the dls
tribution of the risk upon as wide
a group as possible". That is all.
really that the whole thing is. The
larger the group, and the more
varied the risk, the greater are
the advantages of f the Insurance
principle. , Compulsory Insurance
against unemployment on a na
tional scale would: make use of
the widest possible range, and
Would thus achieve the cheapest
possible lorm of insurance. By
including .all Industries and most
occupations, the burden of unem
ployment would be. distributed so
that it would not fall heavily upon
any single industry." :
! ".... the prosperous industries
and employed workers, would help
to bear the load-of the weaker
members. - In this way the burden
would not prove hard, and at the
same time there would be the feel
lng of security on the part of all
insured that should misfortune
befall them, they would be. pro
tected. Whatever arguments are
now used against unemployment
insurance apply equally well
against fire insurance,! life insur
ance and accident insurance.
t UeraiaoyBiaf Average 8 :
It is stated' by the backers o
the insurance scheme that a study
of unemployment oventhe period
extending from 1890 to 1916 the
average unemployment amounted
to 10 of the working class. This
figurei including! those absent due
to illness and oat on strike. Ex
cluding these they.; estimate the
average at,8 and calculate that
a three to four per rate of the
payrolls would be: adequate to
meet the benefits to be paid.
As was pointed out in the out
line of: the American plans given

knowing that contributions will

the. Workmen's Compensation act
in cutting down accidents by the
cutting of rates when a good rec
ord is maintained.: - . - : -
In ' fact, " one' strong argument
which is advanced in favor of un
employment insurance . is the en
tire operation of the Workmen's
Compensation Acts. They advance
the theory that unemployment is
risk of industry and that in con-
sefluence-they should provide for
the industrial unemployed as they
do for the Injured. This is cer
tainly a plausible argument but is
claimed to be fallacious as will be
seen later in the opposition's argu
ment. - -. V -

of the American Federation jof La
bor In 4 October 1930 stated the
case as' follows: . . ;' ' ' -
"The wage-earner has the same
right"; to security ' of employment
thai the stockholder- has to se
curity of dividend payments.- Both
make investments in the Industry.
Just as reserves are accumulated
to. secure ' the stockholders they
should be accumulated to secure
the wage-earner employment. Div
idends -are not necessarily 'paid
from the' ..income ' of - the .current
year and workers shall be relieved
of this unfair practice.-" ; - r .
- , Beserres for Labor ,;
Substantiating this, argument
Professor, Sumner CW; Slichter of
Harvard, asserted in the New Re
public December 31, 1930; i ,'
Industry v pays dividends on
idle capital ; . , In 1921 corpora
tions ! engaged in - manufacturing
experienced net losses of ap
proximately . 8101,000,000. Nev
ertheless, in this year they paid
dividends on their common stock
of oyer a billion dollars ; . " Why
should not the policy of building
up reserves to continue payments
during periods of depressions be
applied to labor as well as to cap
ital?
This argument tends to bring to
the fore the question of human
values as against property values.
but the proponents' go on to add
that capital should -be glad to thus
support the. unemployed In order
to keep an easi" flow of money
which is so essential to the suc
cess of any business.
. Some of the backers of .the un
employment Insurance plan hare
openly stated . that the idea Is
only a step In the direction of
complete social - insurance pro
gram. This program in the main
is composed of the following: se
curity against the risks of unem
ployment,. industrial accidents, in
dustrlal diseases, C non-industrial
accidents, ill-health, disablement,
maternity, old -age. and death.
