PUERTO RICANS
Welcome Commissioner Ig-
lesias

San Juan, Puerto Rico (AFLNS)-
Santiago Iglesias, resident commits
sioner of Puerto Rico to the United
States congress, was given rousing
reception on his return.
He was met by one of the largest
crowds ever gathered here to greet
a resident commissioner. Labor un-
ion members joined in honoring him as
a leader, while the coalitionists paid
ent majority party. He asserted that
in forty years he had not changed
in his belief in the permanent asso-
citation of Puerto Rico with the United
States.
As far back as 1901 Mr.. Iglesias
was appointed by Samuel Gompers,
former president of the American
Federation of Labor, as general or
ganizer of the A f. of L. for the
district of Puerto Rico. In 1898 he
founded the Free Federation of
Workingmen in Puerto Rico. He
served continuously as a member of
the Puerto Rican senate from 1917 to
1882, when he was elected resident
commissioner.
He was elected secretary of the
Pan-American Federation of Labor in
1925, with headquarters in Washing
ton, D. c., and has been active in
organizing the workingmen of Puerto
Rico and other Pan-American coun-
tries.

THIRTY MILLION
WORKERS
Will Be Registered For Old
Age Annuity
BY A. f. of l.. News Service.

Washington, d. elaborate and
efficient plans are being formulated
by the Social Security Board for the
registration of from 26,000,000 to
30,000,000 individuals whom it is esti-
mated will come under the provisions
of the old age retirement section of
the social security act, which COM
mences to function for both taxation
and benefits on January l, 1887. The
board disclosed that the nation wide
census of eligibles would get into
operation next November.
The benefit account for each indi-
vidual will carry number, Security
Board officials said, just as bank ac-
counts are numbered. "The object of
this number" it was explained, ''is the
prevention of errors which might
occur through the exact duplication
of names, since there are many per-
sons Of the same name. The prelim-
mary procedure, therefore, is only
matter of Identification of individ-
uals. 1t has no connection with taxes
payable by employers or employees,
and is not designed for tax purposes"
Although annuities will not begin to
be paid out until 1912, the Social
Security Board calculates that the
payment of 100000 lump sum death
benefits will be made next year under
a provision of the act prescribing
that these benefits, paid to the heirs
of persons who have been taxed under
the old age benefit plan, start with
the imposition of taxes to finance the
system.
In announcing its Forthcoming cen
sus of those eligible for the annuities
the Social Security Board pointed out
that the board must begin posting
individual accounts on January /. The
data required of each eligible will
probably include: Full name, resi-
dence address, fathers given name

Keeping Christmas Faith
A Spirit Of Happiness Much Needed
" in the Days Prior to the Festival

w HATEVER you do in the way
w of preparations fol Christ
mas, be sure to preserve the hap
py Christmas spirit in the home.
Nothing is more at war with the
atmosphere of Merry Christmas
than cross words, wrangles, dis
putes, and anything that mars
good nature in yourselves or those
in the home. The pressure of
work, the haste that makes waste,
the beauty of home life, the con-
fiict of problems, each of which
seems imperative to solve on the
instant, are not conducive to an
atmosphere of concord. It takes
a person of remarkable poise not
to be influenced by the speeding
up Of work and activities prior to
the festival.
Because this is true, every one
of us should be on guard over our
selves. We have an influence. No
one can escape this. It may do
us good to realize that we are not
totally insignificant. Many persons
feel this is their fate when they
are very modest or shy, and crave
to be among the group of those
who attract attention. BY the neg
ative method of induction we can
discover our influence is not negli-
gible. It exists, perhaps to our

use of its legs. But that wonder
merely filed the surface Of my
mind. Underneath I was thinking
so many things that virtually I
thought of no one thing. My
thoughts cut and slashed and jagged
each other in their nnaniacal way
of the. last few days. Over them
all too, like the poison gas over a
modern battlefield, hung cloud Of
sick foreboding. The effect Of my
sweet nights sleep seemed to dis
appear. Again I felt myself trem-
bling on a huge abyss.
What Patrick thought, I don't
know. He sat with his head back,
gazing at the ceiling of the room,
his face blanked with his grimmest
expression.
Presently Molly's roadster curved
up to the door. There they are!"
Patrick exclaimed. Sarah ushered
the Treadways in.
It seemed to me that day that,
every time I saw Molly Eames-
Molly Treadway / mean-she was
more beautiful than the last time
I saw her. Something splendid
had flowed into her psychology. OF
course I know now that it was the
certainty that she and Walter be-
longed to each other forever. Al
most as definitely but not quite
so obviously, Walter too had be-
come another person. Happiness
seemed to have cleared all kinds
Of nists from his mind. He walked
with a different step. He met
ones eye with a different look.
Authority-that was it. Authority
as definite as a golden aura exuded
from him.
''Sit down, children" / said.
Patrick wants to talk with you"
myself did not sit down. II
think perhaps I'd better leave you
a1o.le."u
Involuntarily, Patrick made re.
straining gesture. He started to
speak and then apparently thought
better Of it. He looked inquiringly
at the Treadways.
..%"Oh no. Aunt Mary" Molly re-
monstrated. "Oh mol" There was
unfeigned emphasis in that second
no. And Walter reinforced her with,
Please stand by, Aunt Mary! We
need you"

surprise, and certainly to our dis
may, when we see the effects Of
our disagreeable conduct.
It is comfort to realize that in
reverse order, the better side Of
our nature is equally impressive.
Our good nature, our CHEEKY atti-
tude, our soothing words, and our
hearty happiness leave their be-
neficent effect upon those who
know us-our family, our friends,
and even those who are but ac-
quaintances.
It is this fine attitude that is
brought out in the real Christmas
spirit. 1t is one that is needed in
the rush before Christmas as
much as on the day itself. Our
patience and such sweetness of
temperament as we are by nature
endowed, or by cultivation: pos
sessed of, is called into action to
help keep atmosphere serene
when there is a trend toward quer-
ulousness in children, or adults.
Little folk are quick to sense
strain and tenseness, ami they re-
act to it by nervousness and con-
trariness, and an atmosphere Of
love and beauty is harshly dis
turbed.
On the adults falls the respon-
sibility of keeping faith with
Christmas by showing the Christ
mas spirit in these days of expec-
tations of holiday happiness, and
preparation for the great festival.

Another Leaning Tower

The church tower of the village
of Pijnacker, near The Hague,
has shown an increasing inclina-

In 1898 the tower, which is 140
feet high and was built in the
Thirteenth century, was leaning
over four feet and has gradually
moved still farther from the per-
pendicular. Government experts
are to investigate whether there
is danger for the future and, if
so, whether anything can be done
to avert it. The church bell bears

FARM REVOLT
REVEALED
BY KNOX

DENVER, Sept. Is 0N.S).
Col. Frank Knox, Republican can
didate for the Vice Presidency,
sped toward Iowa and its acute
agricultural problems today, after
delivering vigorous attack here
last night on the present Admins
tration'S alleged extravaganza and
failure to remedy unemployment.
Colonel Knox found farmers OF
Colorado in mass revolt against
the New Deal and particularly
against Harry Hopkins Works
Progress Administration.
With one of the best crops in
the States history just maturing
and frost but 80 days or less dis
tant, farmers are unable to get
men to help in the harvest fields,
because laborerS prefer an easy
berth" on the WPA pay roll to
working at good wages in the
fields.
Crop Loss Feared
According to surveys just COM
pleted by farm leaders, much OF
the bumper crop may be lost be-
cause of lack Of farm help, the re
port says. Strong feeling against
the WPA is intensified, according
to former United States Senator
Lawrence C. PhippS, by orders to
all WPA workers to vote the Demo
cratic ticket straight or lose their
jobs"
Knox has heard this rumbling
on the part of farmers in his entire
tour west of the Mississippi. He
has referred to it in a general
charge that the worst feature OF
the WPA is it's "demorali1ing ef-
feet on the morale of workers"
Becomes Blast
AS he swung up the Arkansas
Valley from La Junta to Denver
today, the rumbling became a
concerted blast against the WPA
by all classes of farmers.
A staff man of Pueblo news
paper, who just completed a
survey Of the farm situation, to-
day told Knox the great beet and
onion crops are endangered by re-
fuSal of workers to go into the
harvest fields. Even the few who
show up cannot be depended upon
because of the ease with which
they can land on the WPA pay
roll.
