Employers Msquote Social Security Act
Chairman of Social Security Board Has Received Many Complaints About Posters in Pay Envelopes;
 They Conceal Real Truth

Washington, Oct. % lup)--Ths social secnfaty board criticized efa, ployers today for circulating mis- leading" statements regarding pay ments of taxes under the federal lold-age benefit program among workers.
 Arthur J. Altmeyer, acting chair man, said the board had received reports from many parts of the country that posters had ben in- serted in pay envelopes warning workers that a federal tax will be deducted from their pay beginning January 1, 1887.
 "These statements, Altmeyer said "are nearly all misleading as to the amount of tax that will be paid or actually mis-state the amount of tax to be made. They make no ref- erence to the fact that the employ CT is also required to pay a tax.
 Silent on Benefits
 "Even worse, they are completely silent or cast doubt upon the sub- stantial benefits that will be pay- able to workers. Some of these statements go so far as to suggest that the government may not live up to its promise to pay these bene- fits when due.
 "The facts are that the federal old-age benefits section of the social security act goes into effect Jan- uary 1, 1887, and under these pro- visions 8 nationwide retirement benefit plan is being set up whereby workers will build up rights to the payment of regular monthly bene- fits beginning at age 65 in propor- ton to the wages they have earned prior to that time.
