EASTERN FIRMS AGREE TO JOB. INSURANCE PLAN Rochester (N. Y.) Companies to Pay Unemployment Benefits.' By United Press ROCHESTER, N. Y., Feb. 18. Unemployment benefit (or insurance) plan was announced today by fourteen Rochester manufacturing and utility companies on a schedule permitting payments to unemployed employees on or after Jan. 1, 1933. Companies which adopted the plan are: Eastman Kodak Company, Bausch & Lomb Optical Company, Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Company, Rochester Telephone Corporation, Taylor Instrument Company, Consolidated Machine Tool Company, the Todd Company, Pfaulder Company, the Gleason Works, Vogt Manufacturing Company, Cochrane-Bly Company, Davenport Machine Tool Company, Yawman & Erbe Manufacturing Company, Sargent & Greenleaf, Inc. Other companies have the plan under favorable consideration. Set Aside 2 Per Cent These companies employ 26,000 persons in normal times. Under the Rochester unemployment benefit plan, each company will accumulate its unemployment benefit fund by setting aside up to 2 per cent of its pay roll annually, dependent upon its experience and degree of stabilization, until the fund reaches a maximum equal to five annual appropriations. In normal years the entire expense would be borne by the company. There would be no contributions from employees except that, under the plan, the companies resent the right to declare an emergency on a period of extended unemployment. Benefit Periods Vary During the eme-jency, the fund would be supplemented by contributions of 1 per cent from all officials and employees not receiving benefits, the company to contribute during the period an extra • amount equal to that received from such employees. All employees with service of one year and over and receiving less than SSO a week will be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. The benefits will be 60 per cent of the normal pay .with a maximum of $22.50 a week, the period of benefits varying from six weeks for employees with one year’s service to thirteen weeks for employees with five years service and over. Unemployment benefits are to be paid after two weeks’ unemployment.

GRAIN MARKET MOVES UNEVEN IN LIGHT REALS Bearish Weather Report Is Disappointing Factor at Liverpool. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb, 18.—Defened deliveries of wheat were about steady on the Board of Trade today in a light, uncertain trade. Firmness at Liverpool was offset by the government’s weekly weather report which was rather bearish though affirming the belief that more moisture was urgently needed over a goodly part of the belt, particularly the Ohio region and Kansa; and Nebraska. Corn was steady to easy on some profit taking and the prediction of warmer weather. Oats were somewhat firm. Undertone Weak At the opening old wheat was % cent higher, new wheat w r as cent lower, corn was unchanged to % cent lower and oats were unchanged to % cent higher. Provisions w-ere steady, but had a weak undertone. Buenos Aires reopened today after a two-day holiday, but prices were unchanged from Saturday during the morning. Liverpool started higher, but the advance has checked demand and the market fell back to unchanged to 1/ 8 cent lower at mid-afternoon. While there is more interest in wheat it is expressing itself as bearish. However, there is almost a complete lack of a desire to press the market. The domestic situation is bearish, with the foreign outlook better, suggesting that European supplies are low for this time of year, and an import demand will probably be persistent. Uncertainty over the winter wheat, owing to the weather, is a factor in withholding selling. Offerings Light The cash corn demand was much better Tuesday and prices were higher, country offerings being light. Users of corn are filling their requirements now while the weather is favorable for movement. Further strength in the cash market would be encouraging for purchases of the futures. A large line of May oats was sold out Tuesday and the current delivery was weak as a result. Trade In the deferred months Is mixed with no feature of note.
