Truman Suggests Changes in
; Unemployment Compensation
,' (Editor's Note: This is the second of two stories)
By JAMES MARLOW
. Washington, April 11 W) President Truman has asked
congress to improve the system, set up 15 years ago, for giving
jobless people pay. lhis is the unemployment compensation
system.
i Below is given an outline of the system as it stands, followed
by Mr. Truman's recommenda
tions in parentheses. Before
starting, remember this:
; The system works this way:
An employer pays a small tax
to the government and some tax.
or none at all, to the states. Out
of this tax money the states give
the jobless pay.
1 Not all workers can get the
jobless pay if they lose their
jobs only those who work in
jobs covered by the law. At any
one time about 32,000,000 people
ire in such jobs. Because wor
kers move in and out of jobs, in
(he course of a year perhaps
46,000,000 will have worked in
covered jobs,
i . . .
I But 15,000,000 people work in
uncovered jobs. These include:
Farm workers; domestic em
ployes, like servants federal
state and city employes; and em
ployes of non-profit organiza
tions like the Red Cross and
churches.
. (Mr. Truman suggests that
,000,000 of these 15,000,000 be
covered by changing the law to
include: 1,700,000 government
workers; 200,000 industrial
workers doing jobs connected
with farming; 500,000 people
working on a commission basis;
and 3,500,000 in firms employ
ing one to seven people. The law
now covers only those in firms
employing eight or more people.)
The amount of money a job
less worker can get varies from
state to state. In one state the
most unemployment pay that
can be given is $27, in another
it's $15. Only 11 states give a
jobless person with dependents
any extra pay for them. The
average weekly benefits are $20.
The least a person can get also
varies from state to state. The
least paid anywhere is 50 cents
a week in Missouri.
(Mr. Truman suggests a top
of at least $30 in every state for
people without dependents and
$42 for those with dependents.) j
Now the duration of payments 1
that is, the greatest number
of weeks in which an encmploycd ,
person can draw jobless pay j
also varies from state to state,!
ranging from 26 weeks to 12.
(Mr. Truman suggests that t lie
duration of payments be made
uniform with 26 weeks as a min
imum.) A worker who moves from a
covered job in one slate to a
covered job in another can get
jobless pay if he loses his job
It may take a lot of time. His
new stale writes back to his old
state and the old state pays. .
(Mr. Truman suggests this ar
rangement be improved to speed
up such payments to jobless
workers who have shifted states.)
Employers who come under
the law pay a tax that can't be
greater than three per cent on
the first $3,000 of pay of each
covered worker.
(Mr. Truman suggests that em
ployers should pay a tax on the
first $4,800 so that the unemploy
ment fund be built up.) '.
Soroptimists and
Demos Get Permits
When the Soroptimists have
their northwest district conven
tion here this week, April 14,
15 and 16. they will have special
car parking privileges from the
city.
The city council Monday
night granted a request to re
lieve the automobiles of the de
legates from being tagged for
overtime parking during their
slay in the city.
A concession also was made
to the democrats by the
council Monday night. A ban
ner will be permitted across the
street at Court and Commercial
designating democratic headquarters.
Mrs. English Appointed to
City Budget Committee
The close attention to city affairs by Mrs. Euphrosina English,
2680 Cherry avenue, was recognized by the city council Mon
day night when it made her a member of the city budget com
mittee. Two other new members, Bruce Williams and Earl C. Burk,
were elected.
Mrs. English tried to decline
the nomination because of her
other activities, and because of
her age, which is past 80 years.
She consented to serve when
assured that probably not over
two meetings of the budget com
mission would be necessary,
and not more than three at the
most. Aldermen told her they
would, see that she had convey
ance to and from meetings.
And when she agreed to serve
a round of applause went up
from the audience in the coun
cil chamber.
Mrs. English has attended
most council meetings for years,
and has always taken a deep
interest in all public affairs.
She was nominated by Alder
man David O'Hara.
The election of two new mem
bers was necessary because of
the death some months ago of
Scphus Starr, and the appoint
ment to the circuit bench of
Rex Kimmell, both of whom
served on the committee.
The election of the third was
necessary by the addition of
Ward 8 when Salem and West
Salem merged. Earl Burk is a
candidate for the city council
from that Ward.
The other members of the
commission are Charles McEl-
hinny, George Hull, J. L. Sim
eral, Paul R. Hendricks. Fred
H. Paulus and Dr. E. E. Boring.
Lafayette The Time service
station recently owned by Pat
Murray, has been sold to Charles
Water of Redmond, Oregon. Mr.
and Mrs. Murray will go to Han
ford, Wash., where he has employment.
Parking Limit
High and Mill
Mainly because of the estab
lishment of a seed business that
will occupy a new building now
being constructed, a car parking
limit was approved by the city
council Monday night on the
south side of Mill street from
High to a point 110 feet west,
and on the west side of High
from Mill to a point 75 feet
south.
The limit was placed at. one
hour between 9 o'clock a.m. and
6 p.m. '
The council granted a request
of the Portland General Electric
company for easements on Mill
