Security Numbers
Must Be Obtained

Columbus (OLNS) Failure of
workers to obtain their social secur-
ity numbers is delaying the payment
of benefits in other states where un-
employment compensation laws are
now in full force, according to re-
ports reaching w. T. Roberts, labor
member of the Ohio unemployment
compensation commission.
He urges every Ohio worker who
has not obtained his social security
number to do so at once, so that Ohio
may profit from the experience of
other states, and avoid unnecessary
delay when payment of benefits is
started in this state January /, 1889
Employers subject to the unem-
ployment compensation law in this
state will make their contributions
to the fund each quarter instead OF
monthly, beginning April l.
They must have the social security
number of every employe, regardless
of his age, prior to April l, as after
that date, employers will be required
to furnish an individual earnings re-
port for each worker, and each report
mus show the employees security
number.

said, in view of the fact that there

Whether the house is wise in put
