LEW DRATSBIL FORRIGHT TOWORK Swope Job Stabilization Plan Extended by Proposal of Maryand Democrat. A bill to legalize the right to work and to place on the Federal statute books the Gerard Swope plan for em- loyment stabilization has been drafted y Representative Lewis, Democrat, of Maryland, and & member of the power- ful Ways and Means Committee of ihe House. Lewis, in stating his proposition yes- terday, said trade associations super- vised by the Federal Trade Commission would be utilized to accomplish the purpose of the bill. “My bill contemplates introducing the principle of a legalized right to work and equipartition of employment,” ke said. "It also includes the Swope plan for stabilization of employment, old-age nsions, life insurance and disability rance and unemployment insurance Benefits for Workers. “These benefits, under the Swope lan, would go to workers having a job. gul the Swope program, otherwise ex- cellent, makes no provision for ‘the men at the gate,’ for the disemployed. My bill does.” Swope, president of the General Flectric Co., outlined his plan to the Benate Manufactures Committee more than a month ago. Lewis would give the right to work the legal sanctions enjoyed by property rights by declaring, in law, that sn equal shere of employment is a prin- ciple of social justice and placing the duty of providing this employment on the trade association of the industry. “To make the rights thus legalized effective for the unemployed workers, the bill employs the idea of national trade associations referred to in the Swope plan, with supervision by the Federal Trade Commission,” Lewis said Equal Representation. “The bill gives equal representation, three members to the employers, three to the employes and three to the con- suming public, in the management boards of these trade associations.” The board would ascertain a monthly employment quota, and the employer exceeding this quota would pay an ex- cise tax equal to one-half the wages of such overtime into the unemployment compensation fund. The disemployed could sue to enforce his right to work. The bill applies to corporations em- ploying not less than 50 persons, doing an interstate business, engaged in man- ufecturing, mining, transportation, electrical communication, building con- struction, distribution of gas and pe- troleum and the transmission of elec- trical energy.
