Washington, D. C.-John B. Hag-
gerty, president of the International
Allied Printing Trades Association,
has requested the Works Progress Ad-
ministration to allot ten million doll
ars to purchase new text books for
the many thousands of schools in the
United States whose expenditures for
school purposes have decreased nearly
$500, 100000 annually during the past
eight years despite the fact that the
number of students has increased
many hundreds of thousands.
The International Allied Printing
Trades Association is composed of the
International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union, the International
Brotherhood of Bookbinders, the In
ternational Typographical Union, the
International Stereotypers and Elec-
trotypers Union, and the International
Photo-Engravers Union.
Citing John w. Studebaker, U. S.
Commissioner of Education, as assert
ing that this wholesale reduction in
the budget of American schools has
created a great need for new text
books, Mr.. Haggerty emphasized the
tremendous Importance of the allot-
ment in the interest of providing our
boys and girls with adequate manuals
for their instruction.
In addition, Mr.. Haggerty stressed
the justice of the request that the
WPA set apart the ten-million-dollar
school text book purchase fund to pro-
vide employment for many thousands

Social Security Board Now Furnishing
Statements Showing Old-Age Credits

insurance amount the Board uses the
card he sends in, writing the amount
in the space which has been left on
the card for the purpose. The card is
then returned in sealed envelope. The
statement represents the total amount
of wages reported for the worker by
his employer (or employers) for the
year 1887.
This figure will answer, indirectly,
another question also. From the
amount of wages with which he is
credited the worker can figure the
amount of oldage insurance tax his
employer has paid for him, for the tax
is l per cent of wages. This tax is paid
and reported along with the workers
wages, and is checked up in the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue before the
wage report goes to the Social Sc
curity Board to be entered on the
workers social security account.
With the card showing his wage
credits, the worker will receive a no.
tice telling him what to do in case the
Boards statement does agree with his
own record of the wages he has re-
ceived.
This notice says: "If the statement
of wage credits is incomplete, it may
be because you did not give your ac-
count number to your employer and
he could not give it on his report of
your wages; or it may be because your
employer did not file his report
promptly, or because his report has not

held special meeting Friday, August
19, with President Duffy in attend
ance. The hall was filled and extra
chairs had to be brought in to accom-
odate the crowd. Maybe a national
official should visit us every meeting
night. The meeting was quite lengthy,
we didn't adjourn until after midnight,
but it was such an interesting discuss
ion we didn't notice the time.
President Duffy spoke on matters
concerning the Brotherhood and gave
us one Of the most interesting
speeches we have heard in long time.
Those who were not in attendance GER
tainly missed real treat. He gave
us thorough report of the meeting
held with the firm in the afternoon,
concerning the difficulties some of our
members have had with the Buffalo
Pottery Company. Those effected were
very much pleased with the settle
ments, and glad these matters have
been Strengthened out.
The members of 76 are always glad
to have our national officials visit with
US, as we feel we gain a world Of
knowledge from their talks. So come
as often as you like, as you are al
ways welcome.

decided to take look around the hall,

Labor Board Order
Boards Decision Will be Ap-
peeled To u. S. Court
Unless Reversed
DECREE TO BE RESISTED
Unwdrrdnted Assumption of
Power Contrary To
N. L. R. Act

washington, ID. C.-Wllllam Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and Joseph Ryan, pres
ident Of the International Longshore-
mems Union, have directed Joseph A..
Padway, Counsel for the Federation,
to institute proceedings before the
National Labor Relations Board and
in the courts to secure a reversal of
the decision Of the Board making the
C. l. o. Longshoremen's Union the
sole bargaining agency for longshore-
men on the Pacific Coast according to
a statement issued by the American
Federation Of Labor here.
Mr. Padway served upon the Board
motion for re-hearing and de-
manded that the decree entered in this
case be set aside. If the Board denies
the motion, it was asserted that Pad
way will promptly file appeal in the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals to have the decree reviewed and
reversed.
Boards Power Questioned
"The American Federation of La
bor," the statement said, "is greatly
disturbed over the extraordinary pow
ers assumed by the Board in constitu-
ting large geographical area, beyond
the boundaries of one State and en-
bracing thousands of workers of nu-
merous employers and affiliated with
different unions, as single unit for
the purpose of collective bargaining
"The American Federation of Labor
takes the position that this is an un-
warranted assumption Of power, con-
trary to the National Labor Relations
Actys which spDsld in many instances
deny to A. F. of l.. employees who are
in the majority in specified local
union, the right to select A. F. of L..
unions as their bargaining agent.
"The decree of the Board has the
effect in this case of disestablishing
A. F. of L. unions by denying their
members the right to bargain through
their unions, although in majority"
Padway Outlines Legal Situation
The A. F. of l.. statement included
the following explanation by Mr.. Pad
way Of the appeal filed by him, out
lining the legal situation:
"If the precedent established by the
Board in this case is to remain the
Board may deal similarly with the
steel industry, the automobile industry,
the lumber industry, the clothing in
dustry, the metal trades industry.
Groups of employers and employees in
large geographical area will be des-
ignated as single unit, thus denying
the right of self-organization and free
choice of representatives by majorities
in single plants and separate units.
at is no justification for the Board
to impose such a unit upon employees
and employers on the basis that the
employers and employees involved have
bargained along similar lines in the
past.

when employers and employees and

Executive Council viii make definite
recommendations toward changing the
provisions of the Social Security Act
so that its benefits will apply to some
economic groups now barred, includ-
ing agricultural workers and all en-
ployes in workshops, mills, mines and

AFL Council Opens
Quarterly Meeting
Executive Council Is Eluted
Over Increase In AL
Membership
IMPORTANT ISSUES
To Recommend Changes In
The National Labor
Relations Act

Atlantic City, n. J. (AFLWNS).-
The quarterly meeting of the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor opened at the Hotel
Ambassador here with some of the
most important questions affecting the
organized labor movement scheduled
for consideration and action.
Members Of the Executive Council
are elated over the substantial increase
in A. F. of L. membership during the
last year despite the business depress-
ion. Although the exact membership
figures will not be available until the
convention meets October 3, it is esti-
mated they will be much larger than
the 3,271,OO0 dues-paying members
reported to the last convention, as
we'll as large number of members
who do not pay dues.
With regard to the secessionists in
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, recent events in the political
field where endorsement by the C. l..
o. Of candidates in the primaries has
been the "kiss of death" and endorse
ment by the American Federation of
Labor has brought victory are definite
indication of the suspicion with which
the public regards the political activi-
ties of John L. Lewis and his satel-
lites. In the organization field, the
dissension that is taking place in the
c. l. O. ranks compared with the unity
that animates the unions in the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is an added
proof that the position Of the A. F.
OF l.. in its controversy with the c..
l. 0. is solidly based on reason and

Appellate Suggestion

Cancellation committees within
agencies for the settlement of
grievances, as proposed by Presi-
dent Mitchell, of Civil Service
Commission, are opposed by the
CLOS Government union. The
UFWA doesn't like the idea of
having such committees formed
of an equal number of represen-
tativeS of the agencies and en-
ployes because it fears "employe
representatives would split on
many issues and cases and so
give undue weight to personnel
officials on the board" This, on
past experience, is true, particu
larly because of the rivalries
and jealousies between unions
(UFWA's stand is built on the
p! omise that union folk would
compose the employee represen-
tatives) e. This corner agrees
and feels it would be far better
to have the agency hire, as their
regular job, three persons to serve
as a board for settlements of ap-
peals, allowing the agencies and
unions to argue cases before it.
It wouldn't be expensive, for
plenty of money is thrown away
now on empty titles and dutilesS
jobs to pay political debts, and
il too much pressure were placed
on the committee from the agency
the case could always be ap-
pealed to a higher such commit
tee within Civil Service Commits
sion.
