The article focuses on the report prepared by Industrial Relations Counselors Inc., on various voluntary insurance schemes to protect wage earners against losses of unemployment. According to this report, there were in effect in 1928 seventy-two such systems covering 107,000 workers, less than one-half of 1 per cent of our wage-carriers. The movement has been somewhat extended since that date, the great General Electric plan, for example, having been introduced during the past year, but it is doubtful whether one worker in a hundred is covered at the present time, and there is no reason for hoping that such plans will ever be extended to more than a small fraction of workers.
