In Germany provision for ‘“uneri ployment insurance” first was made in the so-called Welmer constitution of the Germ'n Republic in this language: “E"cry Cerman citizen shall be given i to earn his lLvelihood . _In so far s appropriate work cannot be found his necessary sustenance will be cared for.’ Echo From French Revolution. This was an unmistakable echo from the French Revolution. In 1791 prob- ably the first attempt occurred to em- body in a federal constitution the legal right to work, coupled with the obli- gation of the state to support the in- dividual if he were unemployed and the state unable to provide work for him.

The principle seems to have entered the German mind, however. As early as 1800 a prominent German philoso- pher, Dr. Fitchte, presented his views in an extended theory called “Das Recht auf arbeit” (right to work). It was discussed widely by labor groups, but no action was gained until 1848, during the revolution of that period, when the Democrats introduced a reso- lution in the Prankfort National Con- vention asserting that constitutional recognition of the right to work was | equal in importance to recognition of § the sanctity of private property. The proposition” was rejected by a vote, 317 to 114. The question was shelved for 70 years, only to come forward again in the German Revolution of 1918, when the labor unions succeeded in having the article pertaining to the legal right to work embodied in the new Weimer constitution. Agreements Reached in 1911. There had been some discussion of unemployment insurance in the Reichs- tag as early as 1902. The German states and’ communes had for years been trying to solve the prom | and elleviate the hardship’ of seasonal | unempioyment. In 1911 agreements had lly been concluded with or- ganized labor groups upon a collective About 14,184 were included, in organized labop groups, which were to set up a scheme to | solve seasonal unemployment. It was not to be guaranteed by government. The outbreak of the World War stop- ped all activities along this line. Then, on November 13, 1918, in_the midst of revolution, there appeared the first German decree concerning unem- ployment support. It was issued by the Bureau of Economic Demobili- The text coincided, word for word, with a draft previously made by the imperial government. According to this decree, all communes were ordered to provide for organizations and insti- | tutions for the unemployed. The burden was to be divided between the federal government, the individual states and the local towns and cities called com- munes. The federal government was to carry three-sixths of the cost, the indi- vidual states two-sixths and the com- munes_one-sixth of the financial bur- den. Relief was to apply only to per- sons, above 14 vears of age, able and willing to work, who were unemployed and in need as a result of the war. Un- employment as a result of strikes and lockouts was not given consideration The amowut of benefits to be paid was left entirely to the communes, which were author: to_refuse support to all unemployed persons who did not attend special in- struction courses arranged by the com- munes, with the aim to promote changes in occupation. Any person was excluded who refused a job. provided it did not endanger his health, threaten his morals or make the support of his family impossible. Thus, in this decree of 1918, was laid the foundation of the present law, which was adopted in 1927, During the intervening nine years, when unemployment did not reach a great figure, the schems as adm: tered by local communities did not ap- pear unworkable. Tdea Works Way Into Politics. Meanwhile, the Socialists, union la- Lorists and other groups realized the possibility of elaborating the scheme into a federal law which would provide » great government bureau and estab- lish a ponderous federal service. Thus unemployment insurance found its easy way ‘into politics and the various gen- ‘erous ideas for increasing the numbers Tailored Featuring “Parktown” Fashion Park’s New Worsted It's a wonderful worsted—tailored in that wonderful A weave of quality—in specially desighed models—fashioned with Fashion Park exclusive- Lined with art silk.
