Strawberry Pickers May Get Unemployment Benefit Fund Rules Indicate That Persons May Pick Berries and Then Get Pay When Idle. RULING SHOULD SPEED GETTING BERRY HELP Those Who Refuse To Wort When Get Chance Will be Subject to Investigation. Many persons who, in seasons oi large production, go to the berry Helds to pick berries are this yesi entitled to unemployment compen sation benefits because of unem ployment in their usual occupation These persons are required by law to report once each week at theh nearest Employment Office for the purpose of making themselves avail able in case the Employment Ser vice has found suitable work for them and for signing a continued claim for unemployment benefits 11 it has not These persons are being offered jobs by the Employment Service A! strawberry pickers. Muny of them for various reasons, do not accept For some of them strawberry pick ing is "suitable” work within th« meaning of the act and their bene fit payments may be suspended fo; a period of some weeks !f they do cline to accept jobs where working and living conditions are reasonable. The Unemployment Compensator Commission has placed additional claims deputies in Employment of fices in which berry growers are placng orders for pickers. The Em ployment Service offers the job and if it is refused, the deputy hears the reasons for refusal, and decides whether or not the person shall be penalized. Both the office and the determination of suitability are on a basis of individuals Each job and each ndividual has, therefore, to be considered separately. This Insures fairness and justice to all. The Employment Service has opened temporary offices to servo growers in Wallace and Chadbourn. These offices will accept orders for pickers from growers and. where necessary, will present to the Un employment Compensation Deputies persons with benefit claims who seem U) prefer drawing benefit checks to picking berries. It is the desire of both tile Unem ployment Compensation Commission and the State Employment Service to aid growers in harvesting a val uable crop and to protect the Un employment Compensation fund from unjustified withdrawals. They i can do this most effectively if grow ers will use the Employment Ser • vice as the channel for routing • pickers to the fields. Veteran Railroad Engineer Strickeri While At Throttle t ___ - W.
