The categorical demand was repeated that work should be provided by the Government, and that if work is not, or cannot be, provided, then all unemployed and under-employed should be fully maintained at the expense of the State. In regard to unemployment benefit, every one for whom no suitable work was available at the Employment Exchanges, or through his or her Trade Union, was to be paid maintenance, which, including benefits under the Unemployment Insurance Acts, should amount at least to 40_s._ per week for each householder and 25_s._ per week for each single man or woman over eighteen, with additional allowances for dependants. Increases in these rates were subsequently claimed as the year went on. Neither maintenance nor benefits under the Unemployment Insurance Acts should be limited to any period of time, but should continue as long as no suitable work was available. In the case of under-employment resulting from short-time, the maintenance allowance should be of such an amount as, when added to the actual earnings, would yield a sum equal to the amount of maintenance which the worker would receive if he were totally unemployed. Training schools were to be provided for women attracted into industry during the war but who, after the war, found themselves unable to secure permanent peace employment. The local educational authorities, assisted by grants from the Exchequer, were to provide courses of training for unemployed male workers. To relieve adult unemployment the Board of Education should be authorized at any time to raise the school-leaving age, and should be restrained from discouraging local educational authorities from making by-laws raising the age of full-time attendance. Local education authorities should be urged to submit fresh schemes for schools, etc., under the Education Act of 1918. Any exemption from school attendance below the age of fourteen to be made illegal; local education authorities to proceed with schemes of “continuation education”; the Government to increase the number of free places in secondary schools and provide maintenance allowances to all free-place pupils in need of them. The number of free-places in all centres of higher education to be increased, maintenance allowances to be given under grant from the Board of Education to persons holding such places; training centres for young persons unemployed to be opened by local educational authorities under grants from the Board of Education.
