Montana lawmakers hear social security plan unfolds
The Montana House adjourned after a brief session as Representative Daly announced a draft measure to create a state unemployment insurance commission. The 82 page bill faces hearings with employers and the Montana Federation of Labor backing. It proposes weekly benefits of 10 to 17 dollars and a payroll tax next year. A second bill to pay unemployed 7 to 15 dollars weekly is expected to follow. A separate proposal seeks a state comptroller of currency to curb wasteful spending. The moves aim to take effect July 1, 1938. A relief commission investigation was also proposed to review all relief activities.
