WISCONSIN'S J0B INSURANGE READY $5,000,000 Fund Becomes Available to Workers July 1, 1935. By the Ashociated Press. MADISON, Wis., December 15.—The ploneer unemployment insurance law, enacted by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1931, will make, available to most Wisconsin workers by July 1, 1935, a fund of more than $3,000,000 upon which they may draw for limited ben- efits if they are thrown out of work through no fault of their own. All the money has been contributed by employers who provide jobs to 10 or more workers. > The theory of the Wisconsin statute, the first to be adopted by any State in the Union, is comparatively simple. Enacted Under La Follette. It was first enacted in 1931 under the administration of Philip F. La Follette, then Governor, who, after a two-year period of political retire- ment, again will become Governor in January. It originally was to take ef- fect in July, 1933, but due to the pres- sure of economic conditions the date of gperation was postponed until July, 1934, Beginning with that date, employers were given one year to build up re- serve funds to which they are con- tributing at the rate of 2 per cent of their pay rolls. While this medium of insurance is being created, it is exempt from any liability for unemployment. A distinct feature of the law is that there is no pooling of the built-up re- serves. Each employer is accountable only for his own workers. What he makes in the way of contributions is treated as a separate account, and when his reserve equals $75 for each employe he need make no more pay- R % ¥ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

After mext July, if the employer finds it necessary to lay off his helpers who earn less than $1,500 on a yearly basis he must compensate them as the law requires. N He must pay them one-half of their weekly wages in the ratio of one week of unemployment for each four weeks that they have been employed since July 1. But in no case, as the law now reads, can a worker receive more than $100, that is, $10 a week for 10 weeks. And if his yearly compensa- tion is $1,500 or more he may claim no benefits at all. ‘Wisconsin officials believe the law might become the pattern for legisla- tion to be enacted in other States with the help of the incoming national Congress.

Nominations for-the Cosmopolitan Club's distinguished service medal are under consideration by the club’s Permanent Medal Award Committee, of which Dr. J. Rozier Biggs is chair- man.
