The change is the result of action by the 1047 state legislative
session, which changes the. benefit year to July 1-June 30, the base

right, from October 1 -September
30 to January 1-Decetnber 31, and
bars from benefits those who
earned " than $S0Q in the base

S1.450.
prirwinllT affected by the lim
iting ol eligibility .are (.seasonal
cannery workers. Heretofore the
lower limit has been $200 earn
ings in the oase period. However,
official said, another amend
ment approved by the legislature
provides additional benefits for
certain workers with earnings in
two or more seasonal operations.
- At the other end of the- scale",
with over 11.523 in base
year wages would receive up to
$20 a week instead of $18; which
has .been the maximum since
IMS. The maximum number of
weeks during which benefits can
be received is 20 per year.
While actual compensation can
not tart, until after a preliminary
-waiting week and an additional
w-ek -without work, early claim
fihr.g will allow time to deter
mine walkers' rights to benefits.
New claims have been received
this week from several thousand
unemployed who have been re
ceiving payment during the cur
rent -benefit period
Combined with the altered bene
fit period, which starts during
high, seasonal employment " per
iods, the change in base year is
expected to spread out the deluge
of claims which' has heretofore
occurred in December and Jan
uary, when many are unemploy
ed, and to improve the commiis
sion's task of checking claims and
employers' reports.
Since the base year currently
In use includes up to the last of
September and the one to be
used fter July 1 Includes all of
1946, many of the present claim
ants can use again most of the
1946 wage credits for benefits.
Nearly 55,000 persons , have
filed 1947 claims, during the past-j
six months, but only 5,258 re-
reived checks this week, the com
mission ajd. About 8,000 ex
hausted their benefit rights dur
ing the period.
Officials stated that out of 450,
000 Oregon worker covered by
unemrjlovment compensation dur

the' $20O-$300 per year earning

WASHINGTON, June 20 -6P)
Entry into the United States of
approximately 30,000 Polish for
mer combat troops, now in Brit
ain and Italy, and refusing to go
, home, was proposed today by Rep
MacKinnon (R-Minn).
He said the Polish soldiers are

them into the United States.

WASHINGTON. June 20
Here briefly are atm m.-im t-
visions of the Taft-llattlry labor
bill and what President Truman
said about them:
1. The bill would allow the gov

tilM'k tiatiti:ll lnhr-a .tflaitintf
intbllc limllti in aafrty fluting HO
days of mediation.
Truman: "This pucedure would
be certain to do more harm than
cood. and to increase rather than
diminish widespread
disturbances."
2. The bill would forbid
closed shop, in which the employ
er can hire only union help.
Truman: "The bill di-.rcg.ird
the voluntary lo Hi.prrwnt in ttir
field of Indiiktnal relation in th
United States over the past ISO
year. Today over eleven million
workers are employed under ome
type of union security contract.
The great majority of the plants
which have such union s-cunty
provisions have had few strike.
Ban Boycotts
3. The bill would ban certiin
kinds of boycotts.
Truman: "It would deprive
workers of th poaer to m-rt th

4. The bill would ban certain

Truman: "The bill would make
it an unfair labor practice to "in

of strikes and boycotts - - and
then would forbid Ihe national la
