REDUCED DOLE PROPOSED
ROYAL COMMISSION’S VIEW AIM TO BALANCE THE FUND LESS BENEFIT; BIGGER TAX MINISTRY UNLIKELY TO ACT By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, June 5. The preliminary majority report of the Royal Commission on unemployment insurance recommends drastic changes, aiming at balancing the fund. It proposes to reduce the benefits to the majority of workers and to increase payments to the insurance fund by the employer, worker and the State respectively. It further recommends that the benefits, now available for 74 weeks continuously, should be limited to 26 weeks. The minority report disagrees with all the recommendations. The general opinion in the House of Commons lobby to-day was that the Government was not likely to attempt to carry out the recommendations. Labour members expressed the opinion that the report was not even worth serious consideration.
