Many Thousand Dollars
Already Due To Workers
Wade, On Visit Here, Decla res Huge Funds Lying I'm
claimed by Old-Age Ben eficiaries Under New Fed
eral Act; Discusses Lump Sum Payment

On a visit to Henderson yesterday,
Stacy w. Wade, manager of the Ra-
leigh field office of the Social Secur-
ity Board, which serves this area, said
that thousands of dollars are lying
unclaimed in the United States Treas
ury because those to whom the money
is now due under the old-age insur-
ance provisions of the social security
act have not filed claims for the
amounts due them.
Wade, here on an official inSpec-
ton trip, said he found all manufac-
turing establishments in Henderson
complying with the regulations, so far
as he could tell. He discussed the So
cial security act at some length
A large number of workers in COW
cred employment who have reached IS
since January L. 1887, and the estates
or relatives of eligible workers who
have died since December 81, 1886, ap-
parently are unaware the Social Sc
curlty Board is making lump-sum pay
ments now to those eligible persons
who file claims, Mr.. Wade said.
The same situation which exists in
this section seems to exist throughout
the country, inasmuch as up to August
l the number of claims filed through
out the country for lump-sum pay
ments totalled only a fraction of the
$4,000 lump-sum payments actuarial
experts estimated would fall due dur
ing the calendar year of 1887, Mr..
Wade said
I'm Region w, comprising North
Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Columbia,
there have been LIP claims filed to
date. This is only part of the num-
Der the Social Security Board believes
are due and would pay if those elig-
ible filed claims.
There nave been 389 claims filed
in North Carolina. The Raleigh Field
Office has received 124 claims. The
number of claims filed in other States
in Region w, up to the end of Sep
TENDER, are: District of Columbia, Isl;
Maryland, SOL; Virginia, 339; and
West Virginia, 1872.
ut is probable that many persons
to whom lump-sum payments are due
have not filed claims because they do
not know the Social Security Board
is making such payments now. They
may be confused by the wide notice
given the fact that payment of month
ly old age benefits will not begin be-
fore January, 1912.
Another reason may be that the
sums due to many persons are small.
The lump-sum payment amounts to
3 IL percent of the total wages of the
eligible worker. For example: sup
pose wages totalled $1,000; the IL
percent lump-sum payment; would be
$35; if wages totalled $500 the IL
percent lump-sum payment would be
$3.50. Many workers seem doubtful
about what is meant by total wages.
Total wages, under the Act, means
the sum of all the wages paid by all
employers for all the time an en-
ployee in covered employment after
December 81, 1886, and prior to death
or reaching IS, not counting wages
over $4,000 from any one employer.
Naturally the lump-sum payment due
man who reaches IS on January 8,
after being paid for one working day,
will not be as great as the amount due
to the man who received an equal
daily wage every working day since

outlined for the home fund, includ-
ing classes in the Henderson high

That portion of the membership fee
which goes to the national organiza-
ton helps to maintain it's work, and
to build up funds for emergencies that
do not demand special appeals to the
public, such as floods, tornadoes and
the like.
Nearly every one knows something
of the work of the Red Cross thro-
ughout the nation, and usually little
has to be said to acquaint a pros
pective contributor with it's purposes
and motives. Because of this, the re-
Spouse is almost always generous.
In the flood disaster of the Middle
West last spring, Henderson con-
tributed around $4,000, six times the
quota originally asked here, and the
fact that so generous a response was
made leads officials of the coming
Roll Call to believe they can count on

EDISON SCORES
WALSH-HEALEY
LABOR ACT

Four hours after being sworn
into office, Charles Edison, new
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
yesterday came to grips with the
Navy's most troublesome problem
the Walsh-Healey act.
At his first press conference,
the silver-haired former president
Of Thomas A. Edison Industries,
Inc, said the act, sponsored by
organized labor to spread employ
ment, might eventually throw
many thousands" out of work
and delay completion Of the
treaty fleet.
The 46-year-old industrialiSt,
who bears a marked resemblance
to his late father, the famed in
ventor, said his first task would
be to confer with Labor Depart
ment officials over possibility OF
modifying enforcement regula-
tions Of the act.
BOycOtts Provoked
Requiring holders of all Govern
ment contracts in excess of $1O,-
900 to pay prevailing wages de-
termined by the Secretary OF
Labor and maintain a 40-hour
week, the act has provoked a par
tial boycott of Navy contracts by
steel, copper and petroleum pro-
ducerD. .'
Edison said:
"The pinch for materials has
not yet become acute, but when
it does many thousands Of men
may lose their jobs. LayOffS,
starting in Navy yards, may
move in ever widening circles,
eventually affecting steel mills,
copper mines and Smelters and
coal mines.
"This result runs exactly
counter to the purpose OF the
act. A way can and must be
found to build our treaty YES
sels."
INDUSTRIES CANvASSED
Edison said he understood Sec
retary Of Labor Perkins mad can
vassed various sections Of indus
trial management to discover the
basis of opposition to the act, but
had not been advised of the re-
sponSeS to the inquiries.
Sworn in by the NaVy's ch1el
clerk in the presence Of Mrs. Edi-
son, Secretary of the Navy Swan
son and Mrs. Swanson, Edison
who succeeds the late Henry l.
Roosevelt, said to the assembled
officers:
"My message to you is: Have
an adequate Navy which by its
mere pOtentiaIities can keep this
country free from war.
''Make the Navy an inStru-
ment for the preservation Of
peace but, If in spite Of all, war
should comes let there be no
