Welfare Head u Advises Omaha for Young Men Plenty of Opportunity Here. According to Leader of Jewish Welfare Fed* eration. "Omaha has a generation of young men who will take the helm of gov ernmental affairs with confidence.” said William R. Blumenthal, new superintendent of the Jewish Welfare federation. “The young man of Oma ha Is taking an active interest In the future of Omaha to the extent that he has become a participant In all communal affairs.” Mr. Blumenthal came to Omaha recently from Los Angeles, where he was doing welfare work. He chose Omaha because he felt that here he could do constructive work. "During the last few years, It has been my pleasure to do some Investi gating In California along the sub ject of lnter-lmmlgratlon,” said Mr. Blumenthal. “And during my years ■pent in going through many prisons, reformatories, hosiptale, Jail* and asylums, I have found that the great percentage of the Inmates of these various Institutions came from states outside of California, principally from the eastern states. “The young men of Omaha should stay In Omaha. Opportunities here are just as great aa anywhere else In the United States. Omaha Is made up of men who do things, of builders, of men with real genuine dvlo Inter est.” During; the short time that Mr. Blu menthal has been In Omaha he has taken a very active Interest In civic affairs. He attended the Interna tional Convention of Social Service Workers held in Toronto, Canada, In June, where Omaha was chosen to take a census of the Jewish popula tion. , This census will be used as propor tionate basis all over the United States In order to ascertain a nation wide census of the Jewish population. With the erection of the new Jew ish Community Center building on Dodge street. Just west of the El Beu dor apartments, a greater field for social service work will be opened, Mr. Blumenthal said. BRYAN FAILS LABOR GROUP (Continued from Pago One.) first time in Nebraska's history la bor was recognized on an equality with money and livestock. The de partment of labor was given an ap propriation sufficient to enable it to function properly. Increase Under McKelvie. During the four years prior to Governor McKelvie's Just recogni tion of labor, injured workmen of Nebraska received $470,413.08 as com- j pensation for their injuries, for time I lost from earnings. This was an av- i erage of $14.11 per accident, which I included hospital fees and medical ! attendance. During the four years that the la bor department was able to func tion properly, the four years of the McKelvie administration, 50,237 in jured workers received compensation in the total amount of $2,213,969.19. This is an average of $44.05 per ac cident, or approximately 300 per cent more than the injured workers re ceived under the old system. Now comes the story of how Charles W. Bryan showed his real interest in the workers. The first thing he did was to cripple the department. He demanded in a message to the legislature that the appropriation for the department be reduced. He knew nothing about its duties. He was wholly unfamiliar with its work. But he had promised to reduce taxes, and it was easier to snatch some of the protection frorp the poor and often ignorant working man or working woman than it was to snatch protection from influential groups. As a result of his insistent I demands the appropriation for the ; department of labor was reduced I more than 50 per cent. This crippled the department by reducing the num- : ber of persons available for the pur pose of investigating accidents and defending the Injured workers from insurance adjusters more intent upon making a record for themselves than in securing to the injured a just coni pensation. What was the result of this "economy?” More Accidents Result. During the first year under Bryan's system of dealing with the workers of Nebraska there were 2,260 more accidents than In the last year under McKelvie. But the 16,192 accidents during the first year of Bryan's administration received $126,243.37 less than the 13,032 accidents received during the last year of McKelvie's admlnlstra tlon. Let those figures soak in. In 1923. the first year of Bryan's economizing by reducing the protec tion to Injured workers. 2,260 more accidents than in 1922, the last year of McKelvie’s administration, but $125,243.37 less money paid. • Bryan’s position is that the adjust ers for the Insurance companies should bo trusted with giving justice to the injured workers. Perhaps one of your friends contributed a portion of that $125,243 37 to Bryan's economy. A beautiful system of economy. Isn't it, that saves less than $10,000 a year to the taxpayers by taking $125,243.37 from the maimed work era? Bear In mind, too, that the em ployers of Nebraska are "paying for full compensation.” The insurance premiums are based upon a rate to secure adequate compensation to their injured employes. When the labor department had an adequate ap propriation. aa It had under McKel vle. the Injured workers got what their employers paid for. Under Bryan the Injured workers get what the Insurance adjusters see fit to pay. The wage earners of Nebraska, from the unskilled In the sewer trenches to the skilled in the shops and factories, should Investigate these facts. Bryan talks loud about his deep Interest In the workers His actions give the lie to his political Utterances. The Brandeis August Furniture Sale ] JF~ ~ ~ k.
