B—14 WARNER 0 FFER ISURANGE BLL Will Revive Unemployment‘| Measure, but Change Some of Its Terms. Prospects that an unemployment | {nsurance law will be enacted for lhe‘_ Tistrict of Columbia were increased | today when Senator ‘Wagner, Demo- crat, of New York, said he intends to| introduce such a bill in the Senate. His measure, he said, will be a re-; Vision of one he submitted in the Saventy-third Congress and will be introduced as soon as he has an op- portunity to confer with House mem- | bers who are sponsoring similar legis- | lation in the lower branch. “I am convinced of the need of| national legislation of this kind"| Senator Wagner said, “and I have| been devoting most of my time to! preparation of the national program. | It is the intention of this legislation, i however, to encourage enactment of | local insurance and I think the Dis- | trict should be glad to take the leader- ship. It is an ideal testing ground for such a program.” i Pool System is Seen. | Senator Wagner said he is sure of | one major change in the form of his previously introduced unemployment insurance bill for the District, namely | that of substituting the pool system | for the entire program rather than al- | Jowing individual reserves to be segre- | gated by employers who preferred to| fashion their own program. The pool system, in which all contributions are | held in a single fund and disbursed to all eligible unemployed from this fund. is called for in the Ellenbogen bil! now before a House committee “I have come to believe that the: pool system is the better one in that it makes for more uniform operation of the program and gives more as- surance of adequate reserves for liqui- dation,” the Senator said. “Except in | a few cases where small voluntary systems are maintained under Gov- ! ermment supervision, all European | countries have adopted the pool system. | “A most important provision of any | such law should be one authorizing a study of stabilization of emplu}'ment.} There must be some reward offered the employer who spreads his employ- | ment over an entire year, some incen- | tive for him to attempt such stabiliza- | tion. If industry could do this. one | of the major unemployment problems would be eliminated.” Thorough Study Uurged. The Ellenbogén bill Jn its present | form contains a provision pointed at employment stabilization by which the | administrative board and its advisory | council are directed to study and ad- | vise as to means of accomplishing this | regularity of employment. Several witnesses, among them Mark Lans- burgh and James E. Colliflower, repre- senting the National Retail Dry Goods | Association and the Merchants and | Manufacturers’ Associdtion, respec- | tively. have urged upon the House | committee a thorough and prompt | study of means of crediting employers | in their contribution rate for effecting such stabilization. | On the question of employe contri- | butions, an issue which has been most | controversial during hearings on the , Ellenbogen bill. Senator Wagner said | that he had not definitely decided as | far as his own District bill is con-| cerned ,‘ “Personally T do not think there is | great need for employe contributions, ; but I recognize the fact that there is| strong sentiment in that direction. | ‘The arguments that it will make th employe more responsible or improvi his morale do not impress me greatly. Still, some of the leading experts on soctal legislation feel this way and they may be ri I would be willing to hear both sides of that question.” | Opinions Split in Hearing. | Opinions on this question were di- vided during hearings on the House | bill, although those favoring employe contributions point with emphasis to | the fact that Dr. Abram Epstein, an acknowledged authority on such legis. lation, told the committee that h believes in the theory of employe con: tributions. The New York Senator, who for | years has been interested in social | legislation either in the New York State Legislature or in the United States Congress, said he has not de- | cided upon other details of his local | bill as it differs from the House measure. In its original form the | Wagner District bill called for no con- | tribution from the District govern- | ment, as does the Ellenbogen measure, | depending entirely upon employer contributions. Also, his bill allowed a ; maximum of 16 weeks benefits in a | single year, while the Ellenbogen bill | would allow 26 weeks. “I think legislation agreeable to both | branches can be drawn,” the Senator predicted, “and I hope to see it passed. 1 think we’ll get some action on the national program before long because | I know the President is interested. I'd like to see the District have its local law at the same time. I predict that many States will follow suit very soon.” BOY’S HEART, PROPPED BY GAUZE, BEATS ON\ Omaha Lad Recovering From Operation Which Removed Support of Organ. | | | By the Associated Press.
