B—4 « LITTLE FELLOW” GETS DEBT AID Wisconsin Law Prevents| Garnishee Actions Against Distressed Debtor. By the Associated Pre. MILWAUKEE, July 31.—Wiscon- sin’s new personal receivership law to aid distressed debtors in the low-in- come class, was created main interests of labor, the hiil's sponsor, State Senator Harold V. Schoenecke Democrat, of Milwaukee faid tod ‘The Legislature passed the me; last week. The law provides that debtors earn- ing not more than $2,400 a year can petition a circuit court to appoint a trustee to arrange amortization of their debts on a pro-rated basis over a period of not more than two years. All garnishments or executions are ved during that time. “The law was designated to operate in the interests of labor and the com- mon man in these trving times of garnishment and collection proceed- ings,” said Senator Scholneck think that by this system of equal adjustment of pa: to creditors all will benefit alike Conference Decides Payments. When the court honors a debtor's petition for adjustment, it appoints & young lawyer as trustee. The law: calls a round table meeting of the debtor and all his creditors at which the details of the pro-rated payments are worked out. Perhaps the creditors will agree to scale down the debtor's obligations. If they do not, he must pay in full, but the trustee will arrange an in- stallment plan extending over two years. The trustee gets only $10 and expenses for his services. Senator Scholnecker said Lloyd K. Garrison, dean of the University of ‘Wisconsin Law School and & member of the Federal Bankruptcy Board for three vears, advanced the idea that the personal receivership law be writ- ten and given a trial. Salary Almost Futile. Garrison, through an exhaustive study of present bankruptcy conditions | in the United States today, became convinced that the debtor in the mod- erate income division needed help while he was getting back on his feet Garrison found that as soon as many long-unemployed persons went back to jobs, creditors garnisheed their wages to collect debts. At Dean Garrison’s suggestion, Chapter 128-21 was added to the credi- tors’ rights bill, which ultimately passed the Legislature and received the approval of both Gov. La Follette and the bar associations. Identified with the writing of this chapter of the bill were L. F. Rieselbach, ‘Milwnukee attorney and chairman of the bar association, and Harold Porter, other attorney .

She has 245, all in perfect condition, and no two alike. “I have no special object in collect- ing,” she said today. “I hardly know majolica from two-piece mold, but I collect because I like it, and each pitcher has a value for me because of ways in which I acquired them. I be- | gan collecting about 16 years ago, when I purchased a small stone cream pitcher at the sale of Mr. Vernon Ford | as & memento of the family.” Other heirlooms come from the Set- le Iy in Rappahannock, the S r and Printz families, all ent in Virginia.

Pecial Dispatcn to The Btar BUFFALO, July 31 (N.ANA)— Months ago, when it .was appar- ent that employer-employe relations throughout the country were in such a state of flux that a crisis was not far away, Edward J. Barcalo, presi- dent of the Barcalo Manufacturing Co., decided it was time to develop a constructive program in his plant to prevent a breakdown in the con- fidence between management and workers that had been 40 years in the making. The result was a decision to induct the employes into all the Barcalo company's “business secrets,” to let them know how much money the com- pany had in the bank, what its as- sets were, how it made profits and how much they amounted to. But the program went further than that. It included repeated explana- tions to employes of what all these things meant; how costs were figured, the mechanism of borrowing capital to finance movements of goods, what a surplus meant and how it was in- vested—in fact, all the aspects of business management. Business Like Family. It is Mr. Barcalo's idea, he said, that a business house is like a fam- ily in its domestic problems. As he sees it, the interests of employer and employe are mutual—to satisfy the customer so that a living may be made for all. If both groups realize this, then a free interchange of in- formation to prevent misunderstand- ings, as may arise within a family or a business unit, is the way to obviate waste of time and money in accomplishing the business-family's purpose. Mr. Barcalo’s ideas have been shaped, of course, by the characteris- tics of his own compiny. Formed in | 1896, it has grown from small be- ginnings into a business employing | about 325 workers. It makes metal beds, bedding, giiders and small tools, such as wrenches. It is distinctly not a big corpora- tion, but it is probably representative of the greater part of American indus- try. It is Mr. Barcalo’s conception that the labor relations problems of such a business and those of a huge concern employing thousands of men, often in widely scattered areas, are vastly different Works Closely With Men. The Barcalo company, like many | others employing from 10 to 500 per- | sons, has worked closely over the years with its men. | “We know them and we know that their hopes and aspirations. their re- sponsibilities and their problems are to a degree our own,” Mr. Barcalo said. | “Some are limited as to outlook and | we cannot hope for much more than | a personalized point of view from a man whose job keeps him within four walls eight hours a day, more partic~ ularly if that job is to stand in front of a machine performing repetitive operations day in and day out. “We advance a man from job to job as he gets experience, and it is our thought that just as we give him information pertaining to his job. 8o also should we give him information that will permit him to understand the operation of the company for which he works Most of us can stand. and generally do welcome. & little more information, a new point of view, a new intere: To get this inform mpany a monthly pamphiet called the Barcalo In each e some phase of management is dis- cussed with frankness and in easy-to-understand ter For instance, the an has been presented simp! item explained.

Also such subjects of intimate per- sonal concern to the workers as the company's group insurance system have been treated. The program has been in opera- tion now for about a year and a half. After this experience, Mr. Barcalo says that employes have proved even better able to under- stand the company's problems than he had expected (Copyright, 1937, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) utter ual statement , With every ——— e ‘BREAK’ DUE COLLEGIANS Employment Prospects Better, Says Albany C. of C.
