''' Chairman Kendall points out that the remaining 5 per cent in cludes a large number of self-em ployed and professional workcr. who are also excluded from cover age. Tiie only reason that tiie re maining industrial workers, esti mated at less than 12.1,000 are not covered againstthcj ha/; rds of un employment. according to Chair mar Kendall, is b* cause of a pro ve ion in the State Law which does not require ;.:i employer who had ;owi r than workers for 20 weeks .n ta.e ye.ir to come urtdrr the pro vi-i : the Law.
