(UP)--A bill placing a $900,000,000 ceiling on the slate unemployment insurance fund and increasing maximum weekly benefits from $21 to $26 was introduced in the legislature today by Sen. William F. Condon, Westchester Republican. The bill provides for continued rebates to employers under the so-called "merit rating'" plan. The measure already has drawn sharp criticism, from labor.
