UNEMPLOYMENT     INSURANCE FEATURE   IS   DISCUSSED
'Committee    Appointed      by      Governor
Pinchot   Fin''s   Such    Insurance   Im-
posa;ble at Prr.sent—Is Most Involved
Subject—Ladies'  Night Tuesday.
Chnt-les N. Denby, Jr., Esq., of AA'hItomarah. addressed the Kiwanla Club of Amblor at its regular moi-tin-; Tuesday ovenlng, on the subject of unemidoyment   In'surance.
JTr. Donlby vvas chairman of a committee of 13 mombors appointed by Governor Pinchot last fall to study the subiect and to report to tho I'ennsylvania Lo.gislature. The research has boon most thorough on tho sub¬ ject, with data scoured In thia country and abroad, and the decision is thnt unomployment insurance Is not at proaont feasible here.
Thia doclaion vvas not unanimous, for orf the committee of 13 membera, live represented Labor, and these took oxoeptlon to tho report of tho majority.
Thore .are many angles to the sub¬ ject because of the wide diversiflcatfon of Industry. The plan aubmitted was, to require tvvo percent of the pay en¬ velopes .ai; a fund, but evon this would be altogether Insuthcicn't In amount In periods of deprosaion. Far¬ mera, teachers and atate omployoa and all other workera receiving $2000 and moro per year as salary, vVould bo exompt from payment of the t.ax. It vvas concluded that whatever sum is set Up .as a fund for unomploy.Ticiit iiisurance, the state would be compell¬ ed to help out with appropriations from time to time, which would mean an   increase   of  taxes.
In normal times unomployment in¬ aurance la of no beneflt, and in' per¬ iods of depression auch as vve havo experienced, it is the opinion of tho cimimmittoe that it becomos the duty of tho atate to look after its own.
A'arious plana have been tried out abroad, with the reault that the rnost satisfactory assistance closely parallels our own system of r.elief as extended diiriiig the jiast months. Mr. Denby thinks this aystem of relief can bo Im¬ proved upon by elimination of thoae who employ the system for selHsh purposes, and In some instances the astsistance through welfare should bo increased,
Lewis Hutch was chairman of tl.o meeting, and he voiced the sonliment of the club when he stuU-d that tho closo attention paid tlio speaker at¬ tested to the intoreat ot tlie members on   tho   aii(bject.
Leidy P.. Heckler, Jr., home from hi'i honeymoon, wob preaent and re¬ ceived   congratuUitions.
N'-xt Tuesday evenincr Is ladies' night, and tho affair vvill be hold at the riymouth Country Club. The committee In charge assures a most delightful  occasion.
