Commission Approves Amendment To State Unemployment Compensation Law Raleigh—Several amendments to clarify, simplify, and improve the State Unemployment Com pensation Law, as finally adopt ed by the State Advisory Coun cil of the Unemployment Com pensation Commission, have been approved by the Commission and submitted to Governor Hoey, for introduction in the present Gen eral Assembly session. The State Advisory Council has been at work on these a mendments for six months, at several meetings of the Council and others of committees, and have secured tentative approval of the Social Security Board in Washington to the changes. The Council is composed of five rep resentatives each of the public, the employers and the employ ees, as follows: The public, W. C. Dowd, Char lotte; W. B. Rodman, Jr., Wash ington, N. C.; Harry L. Wilson, Morganton; Clarence Stone, Stoneville; Don Elias, Asheville; employers, Marion W. Heiss, Greensboro; W. A. Egerton, Enka; Grady Rankin, Charlotte; James I. Miller, Wilson; T. A. Finch, Thomasville; employees, C. G. Shaw, Durham; C. A. Fink, Salisbury; Charles Ruffin, Ralei gh; A. M. Hughes, Wilmington; Capus M. Waynick, High Point. These amendments will be sponsored in the Senate by Sen ator W. B. Rodman, of Beaufort county, and in the House by Rep resentative Clarence Stone, of Rockingham county, both memb ers of the State Advisory Coun cil, who conferred with the So cial Security Board in Washing ton on the amendments. “Our Unemployment Compen sation Law, while a splendid start, was hastily drawn and had numbers of flaws which time and experience have brought to light”, said Chairman Charles G. Powell. “Many of the errors and delays have been due to provi sions of the Act which require legislative action to remedy. The Advisory Council members have worked hard with the Commis sion and the Social Security Board in an effort to remedy most of the flaws. The amend ments they propose have been CONTINUED -- . Our Trade In Sale Will Continue All This Week. SO MANY HAVE TOLD US THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SALE THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE IT ALL THIS WEEK. WE WILL MAKE A LIBERAL ALLOWANCE ON ANY OLD SHOES TRADED IN FOR NEW SHOES. OLD SHOES WILL BE DONATED TO THE NEEDY OF ROXBORO AND PERSON COUNTY. Roxboro Shoe Store well considered and will aid im mensely in our administration of the law”, said Chairman Powell. Probably the most important amendment is the one providing for “experience rating” of em ployer contributions. It provides for a pooled fund of 25 per cent of the contributions, the remain der going to the credit of indi vidual employers. If an employer accumulates a reserve of 714 per cent of his payroll for the pre ceding calendar year, or if his credit balance is equal to five times the amount of compensa tion paid from his account in any one of the three preceding cal endar years, whichever is the greater he may get a reduction in rate of taxes. This “experience rating” plan, referred to as merit rating, pro vides for three years of payments before a reduction can be made in ths rate of any empoyer, and indications are that a $25,000,000 fund will be accumulated before such a reduction can be made. This plan is intended to encour age and reward stabalized and regular employment. A seasonal work amendment provides that the Commission may establish dates for the start and end of seasonal operations and benefits are payable if a worker becomes unemployed through no fault of his own dur ing this period, but benefits would not be payable after the seasonal period ends. To conform to the National Railroad Unemployment Insur ance Law, which will carry the insurance of railroad employees after July 1, 1939, an amendment provides for the transfer of con tributions collected by the State Commission from railroads to the Railroad Retirement Board on a prorated basis, considering the benefits payable to railroad em ployees. After July 1 railroads will pay contributions to that board, rather than to the State Commission, and unemployed railroad worker will not be paid compensation by the State Com mission. Another amendment fixes a scale by which benefits will be paid, simplifying the process and PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. clarifying it so the employer, or employee, may readily figure the benefits the employee is due. This amendment also provides that when a claimant has served two full weeks of waiting period, he will not be required to serve further waiting period in his be nefit year. Under the act now, a claimant may have to serve as much as five weeks on different claims in a benefit year. Appeals may be taken to the courts by employers against whom contributions are levied, under a new amendment, pro viding for appeal procedure. This also provides for a lien on pro perty for contributions when a transfer in business is made. In junctions against the Commission from collecting contributions due would be prevented with pro vision for a suit for recovery of the contributions improperly paid. . o RELIEF SHOWDOWN DUE Washington, D. C.—Foremost among problems facing the new Congress this week is the Ad ministration’s demand for $600,- 000,000 additional to finance the work relief program for the re mainder of the fiscal year end ing June 30th. Democratic Sena tor McCarran of Navada expres sed the views of many members by demanding a complete in vestigation of all previous relief outlays “before another approp riation is made”. It is believed that the White House will offer its own solution for taking reliei entirely out of politics. In his re Jackson Motor Company Roxboro, N. C. port to the President, Secretary of the Interior Icks stated that practically all the $1,800,000,000 appropriated last June for PWA projects had been alloted before the January Ist deadline.
