living will be introduced into the Utah state legislature this week by the department of employment security Ray R Adams eXecutive director of the department announced Wednesday The state council on unemployment a group of representa- paduvbilsicoT business labor and the studied and approved the plan according to Dean William H Leary of the University of Utah law school chairman of the council The index compiled by the United States bureau of labor statistics in Washington D C is the standard which will Under the proposal the apply weekly benefit rates will remain just as they are now until the cost of living drops to a specified point 985 on the index When the ing costs drop to that point the weekly benefit amount will be reduced 'approximately 20 per cent If after the cost of living has dropped to 985 it again rises to 1000 or higher the original weekly benefit amount will be reestabNo amounts will be relished duced below $13 a week by this method G Cites Advantages The chief advantage of this system according to Dean Leary is that-iperiods of declining prices and wages it acts to conserve the unemployment insurance f u r d without actually injuring the purchasing power of the benefit reIt is also an automatic cipients way of keeping the unemployment insurance payments in line with e emcurrent wages for ployment Another change proposed in the unemployment insurance law is to extend the payment of benefits to 26 weeks instead of 20 weeks as now provided and to finance th's extension by an employe contribution of 1 per cent Dean Leary explains that under this plan unemployed workers would retain their purchasing power for the additional time but the cost to the employer would be no more than it is at present The presidents of both the Utah State Federation of Labor and the state C I 0 have considered and after consultation with other labor officials have announced their support of this plan Dean Leary says The third change would be the elimination of the $5 or $6 weekly benefit amounts and the establishment of a minimum of $7 a week for unemployment benefits The maximum would remain at Under the present $20 a week system a person may qualify for benefits of $5 a week by earning $150 in the year Under the proposed system a claimant would have to have earned $210 during the year to qualify for the minimum of $7 a week Persons earning less than $210 a year are nct actually part'of the labor market the council believes Plan Joint Meeting Arrangements have been made by the advisory council for a joInt meeting of the labor committees of the house and senate to explain the provisions of the amendments The index is compiled each month by the bureau of labor statistics in Washington D C The compilation is based upon systematic reports from trained workers in 33 large cities in the country The present base is the period 1935-3- 9 which is considered 1000 the years During 1934-3- 6 the bureau of labor statistics studied the buying habits of 14500 families in the g and group With this knowledge of the buying habits of workers- the bureau made an intensive survey of the price field and determined just what the purchasing power of the
