Then he makes this point. “‘The arguments in favor of ex- perience rating seem irrefutable at first sight’,” Prof. Baerwald writes. ‘But although they appear fair and economically sound, they do mnot stand a closer examination. While it is true that experience rating ap- plies the insurance principle of ad- justing premiums to risks, it is often overlooked that its application to the risk of unemployment violates al- together an equally important as- pect of all insurance systems, the pooling of risks . . . We have to face the fact realistically that in every system of insurance the good risks have to carry- the bad risks. If un- employment compensation is to be safeguarded in this country against the possibility of a breakdown, ex- perience rating has to be reconsid- ered’. DELEGATE'S VIEWS “Quite recently Delegate E. L. Bartlett made a similar statement tefore a meeting of the SE Alaska Fishermen and Cannery Workers in Juneau,” Moore continues. “This is the statement made by Delegate Bartlett and it echoes many of the thoughts brought out in Prof. Baer- wald’s book: “Delegate Bartlett said: ‘When Alaska has developed a stable year- around economy and the population has increased accordingly, it might be wise to pass an experience rat-, ing amendment which would be sat- isfactory to both labor and manage- menb. We in Alaska have just come through .a period of unprecedented high employment. I feel that we must wait before doing anything to deplete the fund built up to protect our people in the event of unem- ployment. I do not favor experience rating at this time'” Mr. Moore stated that the recent meeting of the UC Commission, with two of the three Commissioners in attendance, did not surprise him when, the Board recommended re- tention of the Experience Rating amendment. (This was announced by R. E. Sheldon, director of the Alaska UCC, Saturday, November 20.)

(By The Associated Press) Economists are studying figures from last January. They are try- ing to determine whether inflation has finally reached its peak. Some even wonder whether the high point of inflation has been pass- ed. There are signs that these things mey be true. But similar signs appeared early this year and the year before, and they didn’t prove anything. The upward in- flationary movement continued. These are some of the signs of a possible break in the upward cycle: There's been a two-month drop in the cost-of-living price index. That put the October fig- ures only slightly above the cost- of-lving index of last January. There also was a dip in whole- sale prices——so much so that the October wholesale index was just below last January’s level. And a| drop in wholesale prices means a future drop in retail prices. However, not ali prices have gone down, the prices are only one factor in the inflation story. At any rate, government figures do indicate a possible break in the upward swing. icreased from one, because there are “There is no Gepicion of bear |€rs: Marshall Plan opponents and on Admiralty Island,” Rhode con-|OIO unions which he accused of tinued. “Why, only this year—on | “Obvious inability” to organize the July 1, 1948 — the limit on bear unraffiliated workers in certain taken on Admiralty Island was | 1ields. vaised to two a year.
