ASSEMBLY PASSES | NEW YORK WET BILL 'Ropublicans Join Democrats Memoriatizing Congress for Repeal. B the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, March 3—Party Mnes failed to hold all of the Republican majority in the New York Assembly yesterday, enough of them joining with # solid Democratic group to pass two anti-prohibition resolutions. Twenty-four Republicans lined up with 56 Democrats to memorialize Con- to repeal the eighteenth amend- ment and restore liquor control to the [States. The repeal resolution was in- troduced by Assemblyman Louls A. Cuvillier, Tammany veteran and per- stent foe of prohibition. It conformed to Gov. Roosevelt’s declaration for re- [placement of the eighteenth amendment with another to permit State jurisdic- tion. Beer Measure Passed. A Democratic fesolution ask}l:g Con- gress to permit 4 per cent beer was passed by the Assembly before the re- 1 measure was called up. The beer drew the help of only 19 Republi- eans, but that was enough to carry it, 96-47. Both resolutions went to the nate. Bem action of the Lower House of the WNew York Legislature follows by & day Rhode Island's repeal of the enforce- ment act and the legalizing of 3 per cent beer. Republicans sponsored the Jegislation in Rhode Island. A third Democratic liquor measure failed in the New York Legislature. It was a “State dispensary” bill, permit- ting the State to manufacture and sell liquor, and was rejected by the Senate. The same act, sponsored by Senator John J. Hastings, Brooklyn Democrat, Teceived legislative approval last year, but was vetoed by Gov. Roosevelt on eonstitutional grounds. It is based on the contention that the Federal legis- lation governing manufacture and sale of intoxicants applies only to individ- uals, and not States. Votes From Urban Districts. All except two of the Republicans and @ll of the Democrats, voting for the wet resolutions in the Assembly, are from urban communities. New York State has not had an en- forcement act since 1923, when Gov. Smith signed the Cuvillier bill repeal- ing the Mullan-Gage law. During the two-year period 1923-4 that the Demo- crats had a majority of the Senate, the Yegislature passed a 2.75 per cent beer bill, Mayor James J. Walker was *he Democratic leader of the Upper ‘House. The bill was invalidated by the ac- gion of the United -States Supreme on a similar law from another Btate. — WIFE OF DEAN NOE IS REFUSED DIVORCE Faints When Court Dismisses Bill Accusing Churchman of Cruelty. Py the Assoclated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 3.—Mrs. Ellen M. Noe Tuesday was denied a divorce from Very Rev. I. H. Noe, dean of St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral here. Chancellor M, C. K;Lchuhm took botg jes by surprise when he dismisse m Noe's tion immediately after the conch of argument by torneys. “It is not necessary to take this ease under advisement,” Chancellor Ketchum said. “There can be no satis- factory solution of a case of this sort. *The bill is dismissed.” Mrs. Noe asked & divorce on grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment and non-support and wilful desertion. When the chancellor announced his decision, Mrs. Noe slid from her chair to the floor in a faint. On the witness stand Dean Noe de- npied his wife’s charges, and said he Joved her and their two children. A divorce, he said, “would be embarrass- ing to me and my church.” $136,000,000 ROAD MEASURE APPROVED Benate Committee Passes on Demo- cratic Bill Adding Sum of $3,500,000. By the Associated Press.

We have to care for the unemployed during grave depression, either through charity or unemployment insurance or reserves. When I weigh the effect of char- ity upon morale and character I have no hesitancy in advocating insurance as preferable. titled. I believe it & social service to which industry and worker are en- 1 strongly oppose & dole. The sound alterna- tive is not the breadline, but an insurance plan where employer and employe contribute. I think that as & matter of self-respect this should be the system, Further, I believe unemployment insur- ance should be made compulsory by enactment, for only in this way can it legislative be universal. I am distinguishing governmental action, limited making unemployment insurance universal, from to contribution by the State. 1t the movement is left to individual initiative some employers might take advantage of the com- petitive situation and refrain from assuming & cost other companies would assume for their employes. In addition, the voluntary company system would weaken bargaining power and reduce the worker’s quitting power, because by quitting he his benefits. would lose On the other hand, a compulsory system would provide incentive for stabilizing employment. The managers of industry would exert to reduce their unemployment insurance just as they became interested in safety devices to 's compen- more stabilization of employment under insurance | teduce premiums under State workmen sation lJaws. We would have themselves premiums, Senator Wagner. Jaws because it would pay industry to take steps to this end. ® | The advantage of State-wide and Nation-wide unemployment insurance is that plans can be worked out to have benefits follow worker from job to job, pro- | tecting his mobility and freedom of ac- on. Take a workman who leaves his_job. If unemployment insurance is confined to particular industries he cannot trans- fer to another industry and carry the benefits or advantages. To that extent it interferes with his freedom of action. He is not the free man he would be un- der a system of universal application, whereby he could transfer from one in- dustry to another or from one employer to another within the same industry without losing any of the benefit. Sees Legislation Possible. 1 am satisfied the compulsory form would not weaken, effectiveness of trade organizations. On the contrary, it would give labor unions a real stake in man- agement of business. It would protect them also from competition from unem- ployed in grave flermnon. 1 think it possible to frame such legis- lation so as to provide for raising an unemployment fund in time of er- ity for use during depressions, a fund independent of any one company and not dependent upon success or failure of any company. We know enough now to avoid in administration of any such | what we understand as the dole —giving wmethlng for nothing. There can be devised an unemploy- ment insurance system regulated by the States, so as to make universal application of it, at least among the industrial workers, with a fund to which loye and employer contribute and W) is kept actuarially sound. By avolding State contributions we pre- vent the injection of any dole or exten- sion of the allowance beyond what law and agreements provide. I have not in mind that the Federal Government shall make any compul- sory unemployment insurance plan uni- versal. Federal Government can do; States themselves may, and the Fed- eral Government Opponents of any compulsory scheme point out that no actuarial figures for unemployment are available in the United States. There were none for workmen’s injuries when I introduced the workmen’s compensation measure in the New York Senate in 1913. Yet that and similar legislation in other States has worked successfully. This law, administered by the State, and opposed by many industries when it was proposed, for much the same rea- sons now raised against compulsory un- employment insurance. is today recog- nized as a great boon to labor and industry. Can Avoid Pitfalls. Certainly there has to be a beginning in movements of this sort, and I believe now is the time to lay constructive plans, for as soon as we emerge from this period of adversity we are likely to forget the necessity of regularizing em- | ployment and stabilizing our economic structure for the future, We have the experience of other | countries to study in plans for a work- here is a limit to what the | but | should encourage | | - able insurance system, and there 15' enough ingenuity to avoid pitfalls into which European nations have fallen., They have been partly unsuccessful abroad because they attempted a system designed for temporary depressions to meet the needs of a depression of ex- traordinary length and severity. There they have taken care of the worker by an appropriation into the in- surance fund, and by letting down bars which ought not to have been let down. However, they have no bread lines. In the United States unemployed men arc compelled to beg for a living as a mat. ter of charity instead of having an op-! portunity as self-respecting citizens to | earn it, either by work or by some form of insurance to which they have made a contribution. They are entitled to it as_a matter of right. You can to some extent reduce ne- cessity for charity by an insurance sys- em to relleve the worker for a certain period. Then only when the period | of depression gets beyond that, so the insurance fund can no longer take care | of the worker, will some other means have to be taken by the Government to see that an individual does not starve. 1 believe unemployment insurance, in justice to the worker and to serve the public welfare, should be universal, so other workers, the majority of them, in smaller industries which will not adopt unemployment relief, will not be com- pelled to hold out their hands when out of employment. The only way I know to get univer- sal application of unemployment in- surance is through legislation. It therefore, seems to me that some form of Government intervention is abso- lutely essential to any plan to aid those, ol y employed in prosperous | times, when they are thrown out of | (Ouprient. 19502, by the North American w Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
