Mackey, employers' representative on the commission, warned today. Ordinarily employers' quarterly contributions to the state's unemployment compensation fund are due on the last day of the month following the quarter for which they are paid. However, since the Social Security Act provides that employers may take credit against the Federal tax only for contributions paid to the state before the date for filing the Federal return due January 31, 1939, the state job insurance officials have issued a notice to all covered employers that their final contributions for 1938 must be paid on or before January 30, to receive the credit. This includes not only the contribution for the last quarter of 1938, but any due for prior periods that year on which employers may be delinquent, Mackey said. 1 i' Hi Daytime, Afternoon and Evening DRESSES 16.95 to 22.95 DRESSES Reduced to 10.00 25.00 to 29.95 DRESSES Reduced to 14.00 35.00 to 39.95 DRESSES Reduced to 1 8.00 95 ftunn-Bush Evening Blouses SWEATERS EARLY TREE ORDERS URGED By State Department Two Nurseries In Operation.
