AN OmOAITS LAMENT When I lived back in O-h-i-o, Where wintry breezes sometimes blow And Christmas brings a little snow. did not think it grand; When old Jack Frost would nip my nose. Likewise my ears and heels and toes, And blizzards whistle through my clothes, swore to beat the band. did not love the lightning's glare, The thunder rolling through the air, Six cloudy days to one of fair Alternate freeze and roast; Amidst such change I would not stay, And so upon one lucky day pulled my stakes and rode away Out to this Western Coast. But Lord! I've had enough of bliss. Weather reports that never miss, Tomorrow will be Just like this, The next day just the same; Day in, day out, from morning's dawn. No zip, no pep. Just live and yawn- feel the hookworm coming on, Life is so dull and tame. Once more I see the lightning flash, And hear the thunder roll and crash. The cooling raindrops whirl and splash, nevermore will roam; And old Jack Frost may nip my ears. And sleet may pierce my face like spears. For rain or snow, I give, three cheers Good-bye, I'm going home. UNEMPLOYMENT WAGES Here and there in American Indus try, trade union groups and enlight ened employers are attempting to re duce the human burden of unemploy ment and to relieve the severity of business depression by guaranteeing payments to workmen during hard times. The latest plan to be announc ed Is that of the Full Fashioned Hos iery Manufacturers' Association of America and the Full Fashioned Hos iery Workers' Union. The union has accepted a wage cut and has agreed that each worker shall tend a larger number of machines. The employers in turn, have accepted the union shop plan and have consented to contri bute an amount equal to 1 per cent of their annual pay roll into a fund for unemployment insurance. The Union, when the plan has been in operation for a year, will make sim ilar payments. The money thus col lected will be available for distrl button in benefits to the unemployed Similar plans have been adopted by the fur workers in New York City, by the Amalgamated Clothier work ers in Chicago, Rochester J New York, and by the International Ladles Garment Workers of Cleve land. A number of managements have introduced unemployment payments of their own initiative. The Procter & Gamble Co. of Cincinnati has guar anteed 48 weeks of work yearly to eaeh of its employes. The Columbia Conserve Co. of Indianapolis has placed the majority of its workers on a salary basis, their incomes con-' tinulng during period of Inactivity. The Dennison Manufacturing Co., of Framingham, Mass., has built up a fund from which it pays employes who have been temporarily laid off 80 per cent of their regular wages if they have dependents and 60 per cent If they have no dependents. The Gen eral Electric Co., too, has Just estab lished an unemployment insurance plan. Its workers contribute 1 per cent of their salaries for three years to an unemployment fund. These payments are matched dollar for dol lar by the company. Workers who are laid off will be paid an amount equal to half of their full time earn ings up to a maximum of $20 a week for any period up to 10 weeks in a year. The plan is administered Joint ly by the management and the em ployes. ; Gerard Swope, the president of the ' company, recently described its operation to 50 leaders of Amer lean industry who were called to gether In New York City by Gov Roosevelt's committee on the stabil ization of industry and the preven tion of unemployment. This commit tee has displayed a considerable in terest in the unemployment insur ance plans of American managements and is encouraging their extension to future plants. Such plans possess great social ad vantages. They lessen the horrible sense of insecurity which plagues the average workman. Since unemploy ment payments cost money, they give management a strong incentive to regularize operations. By allaying the fear of unemployment, they re move labor's opposition to improve ments in industrial efficiency, and they go far toward lessening the ex treme of business fluctuation. Usu ally, when hard times arrive, business men lay off workers and suspend operations. The resulting reduction In purchasing power Inevitably in tensifies the severity of the depres sion. If, instead, they were to con tinue operations on a part time basis, or to make regular payments to the unemployed, purchasing power would be continued, buying would be stimu NOTICE OF SALE In the District Court of Cass County, Nebraska Caroline I.
