RICHMOND, Va, July 2.-The
Federal social security act will
cost Virginia employers and tax
payers not less than six million
dollars in 1887 and more in 1898.

Under the plan adopted by Con-

dollars, derived through the initial
l per cent tax on total pay rolls.
This tax will go up to 2 per cent,

million dollars, the third year.

ling ordeal which lasted q days,
the little plane looked forlorn and
ragged. The silver coat of paint
which once made the trim little
ship glisten with pride was
streaked, and reeking Of grimy oil
and grease.
The two brothers who pushed
the plane through rain and hail
stones for 653 hours Of continuous
flight, stuck close to their hotel
rooms though thousands waited
to congratulate them.
Throughout the night the two
brothers slept for a few hours and
were then aroused. This schedule
was followed for fear prolonged
sleep might have i'll effects upon
the two brothers who fought and
battled against fatigue to endur-

previous marks.
Their flight to new endurance
laurels ended in a blaze of glory
for the two Mississippi youths
when late yesterday they brought
their plane to perfect three
point landing.
AS one, the $4,000 persons, who
filled the airport almost beyond
its capacity, gave one long and

the organization of the unOrganized has been made
difficult
The actions of these officials do not reflect the
marine workers will for unity. This is proved by
the thousands of seamen, members of the I. S. U.
and unorganized, who endorsed the M w I. U.
unity proposals. The endorsement of the merger
proposals by West Coast L L. A. locals shows that
the establishment Of one union Of all sesmen will
strengthen the united front of sesmen, longshore-
men and tesmsters.
The concessions In the agreement are
dangered by the failure to achieve unity and or
Eanize the unOrganized.
In all industries the employers, with Roosevets
full support, launching drive against bona fide
unions. This is to be seen in President Roosevets
decision upholding the Auto Labor Board The
plans of the shipowners can be seen in the recent
Injunction In New York which would forbid the
united action of longshoremen, truckers and sea-
men. This injunction If enforced would mean the
crushing Of the Transfers Union and would be
the opening gun in smashing the other unions in
the marine industry
In the face of this challenge the M w. l. u,
despite the refusal of the S. U leaders to negoti
ate organized merging of our forces, calls upon
all its members to join the L S. U, and build it into
a powerful union with the same energy and devotion
with which we worked to build the M w. I. U. In
taking this step inspired by our desire to
build a strong union of seamen, to fight against
the shipowners attacks, and also by the knowledge
that the masses Of the I. S. U. rank and file
in agreement with our aims
Members Of the international Seamen's Union
let us Join together in building powerful Interna-
tional Sesmens Union. You must help achieve
unity by making it possible for every bona fde
seaman to join the I, S, u Fight against the
efforts of the officials to bar militant workers from
membership because of their past strike activities
because of their nationality political opinions
Every willing to join and help build the I.

coined Insist upon launching a mass recruiting
campaign that will rally the unorganized seamen to
the banner Of unionism. Declare for open
charter and the reduction of initiation fees which
will encourage the organization of tens of thou
