Employers having eight or more persons in ‘!hmr employ for twenty calendar weeks in any one | year will be subject to the tax provision of the Act. | An Unemployment Compensation Commission of three members has been set up to administer the law. In connection with administration of the Unem- ployment Compensation Act a system of public em- ployment offices will be established throughout the Territory. Not only does the law designate them as the agencies through which unemployment benefits will be paid, but they will give this country for the first time a governmental medium for the bringin together of employer and employee. The activities above mentioned will be entirely | under the direction and control of the Territorial Government. However, substantial grants will be | made by the Federal Government for administrative | purposes.
