QlCIOn TO serving as QlrecC0r OF tHe
Workers Education Bureau, he was
assistant director, American Youth
Commission To Europe in 1887, and
a technical adviser to the 1nternati-
onal Labor Office in 1885.
He is a member of the Adult Edu-
cation Board of the Columbia Broad
casting System, and of numerous edu-
cational and professional organiza-
tions. His history and activities are
listed in "Who's Who"
At last nights meeting, Manager
V. Faulhaber of the Social Security
field office in Youngstown and local
representative on Tuesdays, gave a
short, but very informative, sketch of
the workings of the act. Representa-
tive Rafferty, Of the State Unemploy-
ed Insurance department followed with
an outline of Ohio's unemployed set
up which will not operate, as far as
settling any claims is concerned, un-
til next year. Both men were piled
with many questions by the delegates.
According to Mr.. Faulhaber there
are more than 38,000,OO0 accounts in
the central office at Baltimore and
they are still coming in at the rate
of 10000 per day. The cards take up
floor space of three-quarters of an
acre.
Everyone should have an account
but no one should have more than one
number. If you have more than one
you are urged to adjust the matter
through a field office. Mr.. Faulhaber
stated that it was evident during some
strikes that there was black list
compiled of certain security numbers
If, for any reason, you wish to change
your account number or name, it is
your privilege to do so through a flelC
office. 1t must be done properly, how.
ever, or your earnings to date will be
lost.
Information is kept in the strictist
confidence. A murderer lost his care
and although head Oman Hoover
contacted Social Security Chief Alt
meyer, no information was given out
Mr.. Faulhaber stated that if yol
WlSI W hllO" liOW you w
waiting for you, take three and one
half per cent of your earnings since
the act went into effect. Up unit
1912 payments will be in lump sums
after that time monthly payments viii
be made.
The official cautioned the member!
to beware of anyone trying to collec
a fee for any services rendered in con
nection with social security. Service
costs nothing, but frauds have beer
caught making a charge for filing
claims.
i Unless the law is changed by mex
, year, Mr. Rafferty, told the delegates
unemployed insurance will pay one
half the unemployed,s.Gweekly earn
, ings for maximum ofasixteen weeks
After loss of job, the waiting perio'
is three weeks during which time h
must register once week at an EN-
, ployment office. The office will at
D tempt to find work for the man in tn
I mean time, but failing the payment
will start the fourth week. There i
but one three week waiting period.
q employment should be found after tn
8 second week, for example, and the
: the man again was out of work, h
2 would have a waiting period of bu
one week, not another three.
+ There is payment for partial EN-
4 ployment, also. If man is entitle
to one-half his insurance because hi
q job is only part time, he will be pal
4 for 32 weeks and so on, but neve
Il more than for 16 full weeks in on
-. year. Workers are not entitled to pay
|, ments if they are employed 60 pc
cent or more of the time.
