Guarantee Is Asked “Your district recovery board believes that two main objectives, reemployment and stabilization, will not he served best by this late int*---- I pretation of the act as it applie.- to inside commission salesmen. We are convinced that the retail trade generally would prefer that the maximum number of hours and minimum rate of pay should be guaranteed to inside commissioned salesmen."

WARNING GIVEN ON POOR RELIEF Communities Must Provide Part of Aid. Book Declares. aid will not be sufficient to provide for all poor relief needs in the fture. and local communities must prepare to pay a part of such cost. This was the warning today of William H. Book, director of the Governor's unemployment relief commission, amplifying previous statements. "Relief loads have declined in a gratifying manner." Book said, "but there still are more than 80.000 families in Indiana requiring public aid. “The federal administration has gone so far as to inform certain states that unless they arranged programs by which substantial parts of the rost of relief would be met locally, federal aid. even in its present form, would be withdrawn.” He added that the program of some communities may include federal aid. direct taxation, and sale of bonds, but that there must be a program adequate to meet needs of coming months. “It seems to us to ill become any group in a community which has been receiving, for months, federal aid up to almost 100 per cent of its relief bills, to protest because it will have to bear a part of its own expense." he said.
