Show PAGE THREE Thomas Suggests Transient Workers ' take War Jobs to Protect Status BT SPENCER KLAW United Press' Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 IP5 Chairman Elbert D. Thomas, D., Utah, of the senate labor commit tee, -suggested Saturday that workers moving from one state to another to take war jobs be protected against possible cuts in. unemployment compensation payments. Thomas proposed that workers , be guaranteed compensation rates provided by the state in which they first worked. He said this would remove a serious deterrent to migration of labor to war industry in-dustry centers. State benefits now range from minimum of $2 a week for a period per-iod of 20 weeks in. Alabama, to a minimum of $10 a week for the same period in Michigan. Other states have rates varying between these two limits. Thomas suggested that many workers- desired to stay in states with high jobless compensation rates, in expectation of temporary tempor-ary unemployment after the war. President Roosevelt, in his budget: message to congress last January, recommended "liberalization "liberaliza-tion and explansion of unemployment unemploy-ment compensation in a uniform national system." But' many state governors , have fought nationalization, na-tionalization, and Thomas said this was not necessary to correct the situation. He said the same result might be accomplished by "an' agreement agree-ment between the federal government, gov-ernment, the, states and the individual in-dividual workers" in which cards would be Ifsued to workers moving mov-ing from one state to another guaranteeing them the higher payments. The federal government would pay the difference. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor told a senate labor subcommittee investigating manpower prob lem that the government must guarantee "uniform social security secur-ity equities" if workers are to move freely. On another manpower front, a special management-labor committee com-mittee of the War Manpower commission com-mission 1 was working on a plan for effective allocation of labor resources. Mr. Roosevelt yeterday denied report that plans for legislation leg-islation permitting compulsory assignment of workers had been abandoned. He said studies of the whole situation were continuing. The WMC plan is reported to call for abolition of voluntary enlistment en-listment and centralization of all hiring under the U. S. employment employ-ment service, thus permitting establishment es-tablishment of a labor priority tystem. This Day . . . BORN Son. to Herbert and Edrie Waid Brewer at Reno, Nev., Saturday.

The rate since Utah became a state has been $4 per diem. It can be assumed that No. 1 is doomed to failure. Three times, in various forms, this issue has appeared on the ballot. Three times, in 1912, 1922 and 1936, it was defeated by overwhelming votes. The chain store tax has been a hot issue, with the chain stores, their organization and many labor groups opposed to it, while independent inde-pendent merchants rallied in support sup-port of the bill. The outcome is in doubt. The man on the street seems to think the chain stores will defeat the measure. However, it must be remembered that the tax and license law was passed by the senate and the house during the 1941' session, and that Governor Herbert B. Maw signed the bill known as senate bill No. 44. Chain store organization workers work-ers believe the outcome lies in the number of votes cast in th eelec-tion eelec-tion and specifically, the number of votes cast on No. 2. This group believes that if more than 150,000 votes are cast, the chain store tax law will be defeated de-feated Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a. m. until 7 p. m. On the basis of the comparable 1938 election, it is expected that approximately 180,000 votes will be cast. fife mmy ml These boys are fighting for you.
