The Authority on Authorities

That identical bidding was re-

cate tournament. In one case
West led the club jack, which won
the trick, and followed with the
10, as he considered declarer's play
Of the 9 to the first trick to be a
false-card. Declarer naturally
ruffed the second club and pro-
ceeded to drop the trumps. AS a
consequence he made his contract,
losing to only the three side aces.
s. At the other table, West real
lied his partner had a count of
South's major suits, so led the
fourth best club 6 instead Of the
jack. Seeing all lower ones, East
knew his partner had exactly
four. hence the declarer one. This
left the declarer three diamonds.
so West had a singleton there.
The diamond ace and another dia-
mor1d then produced the ruffing
trick which, with the later heart
ace, set the contract.

WILL START
AFTER 1912
Old Age Assessments
on Earnings Begin
With New Year
International News Service

Employers of an estimated 26,-
100000 workers, and the workers
themselves, today became subject
to a Federal tax for payment OF
old-age benefits accruing five years
hence in 1912.
For the benefit of the workers,
employers beginning today pay
tax of 3 per cent of the pay rolls
which they dispense per cent
for unemployment compensation,
l per cent for old-age benefits
which will become payable to per-
sons becoming 81 years Of age
after today, but payable only
after Januay l, 1912.
Taxes on unemployment COM
pensation have been collectable
during 1896. The taxes for old
age benefits begin today per
cent on the employers and l per
cent on employees for old-age
benefits.
13 States Lacking
Workers in 13 States will not
be eligible for unemployment bene-
fits because the legislatures OF
those States failed to enact legis-
lation for State cooperation under
the Social Security Act
Workers of all States, however,
will become eligible by January l,
1912, for old-age benefits when
they reach the age of IS years,
beginning with January l, 1912.
On old-age benefits, employers and
employees alike pay tax Of / per
cent of the pay rolls-the employ
ers on the amount they pay to
workers, the employees on the
amount they Notwithstanding to-
day.
Some Pay 2 Per Cent
On the unemployment compen-
sation, employers who have been
assessed a /. per cent tax during
1886 will find their tax advanced
to 2 per cent this year. This tax
reaches a maximum of 3 per cent
next year.
The old-age benefit tax does
not reach its maximum of 3 per
cent until 1912. BY then, if the
Social Security Act rates remaiG
as they are. employers will be
paying a 6 per cent tax on their
payrolls to provide old-age bene-
fits and unemployment compen-
sation to workers in their employ.
Workers will be paying a per

Failure to Register
Brings Heavy Penalty
International News Service


Workers and their employers
who have failed to file applicar
tionS for Identification numbers
under the Social Security act. will
face heavy penalties, the Social
Security Board said today.
While board officials estimate
that more than "a million workers
have filed applications for identi-
fication cards, and more than g.
100000 employers have received
their Identification records, sew
eral hundred employers and thou
sands of workers have not yet
filed.
The Social Security act gives
the board no punitive powers, but
when it comes time to collect the
pay roll taxes the Collector of In
ternal Revenue has ample au-
thority.
Up to Employer
The act levies a payroll tax Of
/ per cent on both employer and
employe starting January /. It
is up to the employer, the board
said, to see that all employees
eligible for old-age benefits have
secured their Identification num-
bers.
The employer deducts the old
age benefit payroll tax from the
employees pay. Thus the employer
Is accountable not only for his
own portion of the tax, but for the
employees tax.
When the employer reports his
tax to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, he does so by the account
number of each employe. Hence
1t Is incumbent upon the employer
to see that every eligible employe
has a social security number.
Penalties Provided
The revenue law provides penal
ties UP to $4,000 in fines, or one
to two years in prison, for EN-.
ployers and employees alike who
withhold necessary information
from the Government.
The board also advised persons
who have received more than one
Identification number to return
their Identification cards to their
local postmaster so that single
card can be issued. The number
of the account is permanent and
is not affected by the number CT
jobs engaged in, or changes of
employment. Corrections on the
Identification cards will be made
at local post offices.

i'm Congress
Faces President

Dental campaign gets started.
The struggle between Represent
ative John j. O'Connor, of New
York, and Representative Sam
Rayburn, of Texas, for the Demo
cratic leadership, is the biggest,
but by no means the only diff
Guilty which the Administration
and the party face in the new
Congress.
Creates Enemies"
The cloak of Administration
candidate" which has been thrown
around the leadership aspirations
of Representative Rayburn,
whether justified or not. is bound
to create enemies for the White
House among congressional Demo
Gratis.
Representative O'Connor and
his crowd realize that the Ad-
ministration influence is potent
and will probably be decisive in
the caucus Monday.
But if the Administration is Civ
ing its support to Representative
Rayburn, despite White House as
surances that the President is
keeping hands off" and if Mr..
Rayburn should win with that
support, the victory may in the
end prove costly to the party.
It may in tn eLd not only dis
rupt harmony among the 332
Democrats in the House but may
actually split the party wide open
nationally.
This possibility arises from the
fact that Rayburn is from the
South. To make him leader, with
fellow Texan as Vice President,
and with Southerners dominating
the committee ChairmanShlps Of
the House. several being held by
Texans, will unquestionably arouse
the ire Of many Northern and
Western Democrats.
Sectional Setup
With Rayburn as leader, the
House would be completely doml-
mated by SouthernerS, although
presumably O'Connor would re-
tain his important position as
chairman of the Rules Committee.
In that position he could cause
trouble and if he should decide
that he had been given raw deal
by the Administration in the
leadership fight he would find
supporters in his troublemaklng
activities.
This sectional fight within the
party would not lessen as the
months went by. 1t would still be
potent two and four years from
now, probably even more potent
four years from now than imme-
diately. That would be when the
party would be going before the
people without Mr.. Roosevelt at
the head of the ticket.
This. then, becomes one of the
big political problems facing the
Democratic leadership:
How can the sectionaliSm issue
be kept down in order that the
Administration may be success
full in the Congress and the party
successful in a bid for renewal Of
power four years from now?
Jobs a Problem

faces the Democrats in the new
