A. F. OF L. TO BACK ‘JOBLESS INSURANCE 1 BILL Reverses Position and Will Advocate ‘Reserve Funds’ for Slack Times. By United Prf.it* PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22—The American Federation of Labor, according to Edward P. McGrady, its genera! organizer and legislative representative, will go on record next month as supporting establishment of "reserve funds” by employers, state and government agencies for the benefit of workers in slack times. If McGrady’s plan, announced by him Sunday night, is carried out it will lie a reversal of the A. F. of L. previous position against unemployment Insurance. McGrady said complete details of the plan would be announced in January at the federation’s quarterly executive council meeting afe Miami. U. S. Share 50 Per Cent The federation’s scheme, to be presented in a congressional bill, calls for an unemployment fund to be raised in all industrial plants through contributions by employers and the government. The government’s share probably would be 50 per cent and would be raised from Income and inheritance tax. When McGrady was asked whether the scheme actually meant unemployment insurance, he answered, “You may call it that.” Announcement Is Surprise “The wage earner,” McGrady told the Labor Institute forum, “has the same right to security of employment that the stockholder has to the security of dividend payments. Both make investments in the industry. Just as reserves are accumulated to secure dividends to the stockholders, there also should be guarantees that part of these reserves would be set aside to protect the workers when slack times come to that industry.” McGrady’s announcement proved a surprise, since the A. F. of L. steadfastly has expressed its opposition to various unemployment insurance plans.

ARIZONA SEEKS ‘CUT’ IN RENO’S DIVORCE PARADE Proposed Law Would Place Phoenix in Role as ‘Contender.’ BY W'TLLIAM TURN SOX United Press Staff Correspondent PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 22.—Arizona as a competitor of Nevada in the business of convenient and rapid divorces was envisioned by state legislators today in laying plans for a bill reducing the required legal residence period to ninety days. The Arizona solons mentioned such matters of local pride as the winter climate and the lure of the desert in picturing Phoenix as the new Reno of America, and said they anticipated little opposition in passing the measure at the next session of the legislative assembly, opening Jan. 12. Similar to Nevada Law State Senator C. C. Crenshaw of Nogales is fathering the proposed bill, which, if passed, would make it legal for nonresidents of Arizona to gain citizenship in this state, so far as divorce is concerned, in three months. Nevada has a similar law, which attracts leading personages of the 1 ' t ion to Reno to take full benefit w it. The purpose of the measure in Arizona would be to take a part c he nation's divorce business aw' y from the sister state. Businessmen Back Bill “Enactment of the law would bring many divorce seekers to Arizona who annually would spend millions in this state,” Crenshaw said. "Because of Arizona's superior climate I believe many would prefer coming here.” It was pointed out that during the past few years Arizona had attracted several prominent persons of the nation who sought divorces. Leslie P. Arnold, around-the-world army flier, now his a suit pending in superior court against Mildred Avery Arnold of Connecticut. Businessmen of Phoenix favor the proposed new law, it is said, and they are expected to back the measure when it is introduced.

Sea Santas Sailors on Battleships to Be Yule Party Hosts for Poor Children.

By United Pre ■fITASHINGTON, Dec. 22. ’ ’ Thousands of sailors in Uncle Sam’s navy are looking forward to celebrating the traditional navy Christmas—a children’s party aboard ship for the needy youngsters of their home port. There will be twenty-one of these parties this year, one for each of the nation’s battleships. The celebration starts with the usual Christmas feast in the great mess hall of the ship. There is turkey and dressing, plum pudding and all the rest of the trimmings. The crew and their small guests then adjourn to the Christmas tree to await the coming of a nautical Santa Claus. Usually he arrives as a passenger on a swift navy seaplane. Presents then are distributed, mostly warm clothing, but plenty of interesting toys for younger children. n u LATER there is a thrilling trip around the big warships, and tales of adventure related to admiring groups of youngsters by veteran sailors. Interiors of the ships always are decorated in fantastic fashion, various sections of the crew's contesting for prizes offered by ship's officers. Naval Christmas parties have been an annual feature on all American battleships for the last fifteen years. Donate to Jobless Funds By Uni led Press NEW YORK.
