Fieser sald the whole tradition of the organization was to deal with disasters of a cataclysmic type, and not to meet | local industrial distresses such as are| occasioned by strikes, lockouts and unemployment. Local chapters, he said, were given | wide discretion in meeting local crises, since money is raised locally. He em- phasized, however, this aid depended entirely upon the concerted action taken by the community in meeting its own problems. The Senate Unemployment Insurance Committee, after hearing a witness tell of problems affecting the coal miners of ‘West Virginia at its first session yes- terday, adjourned until June, when further hearings will be held here and in various industrial centers of the country. ‘B. A. Scott, vice president of the West Virginia Mine Workers’ Unian, which was organized last month, ld the committee about one-third of the 112,- 000 miners in the State are unemployed and that many others are working part- time. Scott described the hardships which he said confront those who are out of work, and at the conclusion of the meeting the Senate committee voted to send a copy of his testimony to Red Crcss headquarters. Scott had testified that local Red Cross chapters in the State informed spokesmen for the min- ers that they could give relief only in cities. The miners, Scott said, are out in the rural sections. Raps Anti-Union Contract. The witness attributed the unemploy- ment prcblem among the miners of that S§tate partly to the introduction of new machinery into the process of in recent years. In addition to the un- employment situation, Scott complained of some of the conditions he said apply to those who are at work. He declared “yellow dog” contracts, in which men agree not to join unions, are still used in West Virginia, and that miners are | [XQ required to deal at company stores, using scrip issued at the mines. “If a system of State unemployment insurance was in cffect, the companies would have to change their whole sys- tem of dealing with the employes, would they not?” inquired Senator Wagner of New York, author of the resolution under which the committze was appointed. Glenn to Visit Europe. Scott agresd and said he favored development of unemployment insur- ance. The other two members of the special committee are Senators Hebert of Rhode Island, chairman, and Glenn of Iilinois. Senator Glenn is leaving for a trip to Europe, and while there will make an unofficial study of unemployment insurance plans. While some of the committee sessions will be held here later, Senator Hebert said the com- mittee also would go to industrial areas of the country also to gather | 7@ information.
