 "The raiders were accompanied by government men from Washing ton whose utmost efforts for several months have failed to involve the Ford Motor company in irregulari- ties affecting labor or otherwise. An attempt was made to attack peace able body of Ford workmen, and was repelled.'
 Union Statement
 Homer Martin, president of the union and chairman of the Ford organizing committee, which is con- ducting the membership campaign, said the attack upon union rep resentatives by henchmen of the Ford company is a public admis- sion that Ford workers want their own union and that Ford's one last hope of preventing the workers from building their union is the use of brute force through paid thugs and mobsters.
 The national labor relations board, the Wayne county, Mich, prosecu- tor and agents of the senate civil liberties committee haded by Sen- ator Robert M. LaFollette, progress sive, Wisconsin, are investigating the violence, which occurred when union organizers attempted to dis tribute anti-Ford literature to Ford employees outside the gates of the River Rouge plant.

Ford Employees Fired


 Boston, May 28 - CUP)-Sam Sandberg, New England organizer for C. l. O.'s United Automobile Workers of America, today charged that 100 union members were dis charged without notice or reason" at the Ford Motor comany assem- ply plant in Somerville yesterday. He filed formal complaint with the regional office of the national labor relations board charging the Ford company with discrimination and coercion. A committee of 10 workers and Sandberg conferred with Dr. A. Howard Myers, N. R. B. regional director.
 Those discharged had worked at the plant eight to 26 years" Sand berg said. Ninety per cent of them never had been laid off before" Sandberg saw the action as possi- ble attempt by the Ford company to test the working" of the coer- cion provision of the Wagner act. Asked if he would call strike at the Somerville plant, Sandberg said: No. We don't want a strike unless the national U. A. w. A. says we should. We think we have too good case to resort to strike"

 Legal Aid
 The house today passed-a bill con- cerning legal authority hired direct ly and paid by corporations in Wat erbury and elsewhere throughout the state. In this city the bill would con- cern, particularly, Charles F. Hart, secretary and counsel for the Chase Brass and Copper Company. Inc, and former Mayor Francis T. Reeves secretary and counsel for the Sco- will company. Many local banks hay ing lawyers on their staffs would also be affected by the bill.
 Its purpose is to prevent a corpora tion lawyer practicing law. In other words where corporations retain lawyers on their staffs, they would be obliged to hire outside counsel to fight cases in courts.

Lump Sum and Death Benefits Payable
Now Under the Social Security Act

By Fred M. Wilcox, Regional
Director Social Security Board,
Minneapolis.
For older workers who will not
be able, TO- meet the requirement
Of working in five different cal
,endar years before they reach the
age, of 65,>' the federal o1d-age
benefits system makes provision
for lump-sum payments, These
are single, cash payments from the
United States government, and to
receive them the worker does not
have to stop working.
The amount Of these payments
depends upon the total Of wages a
man or woman earns in CONNER
cial or industrial employment be-
tween, January 1, 1897, and his or
her sixty-fifth birthday.
The benefits will equal 3k per
cent of this wage total.
Let us take the case of Joe Gill
man, garage mechanic, who be-
came IS July /. Between January
1 d1Io July - JUG lldo Sdl lieu q
total of $40. Taking 3k per cent
of this, we find that Joe will re-
ceive check for 500. 40. This will
come to him as a matter of right
and he can 60 on working just
the same. --..,. -. 's...-...
The same sort of provision
operates in the case of the death
of a worker. Let us say that in
stead of reaching the age of IS,
Joe Gilman died July /. In that
case his benefit would be figured
at the rate of 81 per cent of the
wage total of $840 which he had
earned and this benefit would be
paid to his wife or to his estate or
heirs, as the case may be. r.
Before either of these benefits
can be paid, a claim must be sub
mitted. Simple claim forms and
assistance in filling them out are
available at any office Of .; the
