ed in 1887 were not actually paid un-
til 1893, they may not be included in
this statement. The amount credited
is also subject to adjustment if it is
later found that any part of it repre-
sents payments for employment not
covered by the act"
Mr.. Corson said that in the event
the worker believes the statement is
incorrect he is requested to send to
the Board the name and address of
each employer for whom he has work
cd, with dates showing how long he
has been employed by each and the
amount of the money he has received
from each employer. On hand at
every field office of the Board are
blanks which the worker can use in
supplying this information. "The
Board believes" said Mr.. Corson, "that
with this detailed statement at hand
it may be able to reconcile most dis
crepancies in its wage records"

He praised business men for their
cooperation and pledged himself to ad-
minister the law impartially.
He estimated that approximately A.
100000 workers will be affected by
either the wage or hour provision when
the law becomes effective.
He said he hoped to "avoid the con-
fusion" that marked the early days
of the National Recovery Administra-
ton by dealing with only three or
four industries simultaneously. First
industries to be dealt with will be tex
tiles, cotton garments and tobacco, he
said.

he hopes to solve the problem by APP

basis of the number Of workers in each
industry that they have organized.

their unions by agreement among
themselves constitute such a unit for
the purpose of collective bargaining.
1t is quite common for a number of
unions affiliated with the A. F. of l..
as for instance, the Metal Trades, to
join in one council and to bargain
with number of employers as one
group respecting wages, hours and
working conditionsA
at will be found, however, that the
agreement to do SO is unanimous and
voluntary on the part of the employ
ers and the employees and their unions,
and no organization and no Individual
employer is compelled to join in with
the others.
likewise when a number of en-
ployers and a number of unions agree
to bargain as one, every union main
tains its autonomy and existence. No
agreement Of this type is ever en-
tered into which results in denying to
any singe union the right to bargain
on behalf of the majority and no union
is disestablished by the joint agree
ment.
Decision Held Unlawful
''ln this decision of the Board the
decree is compulsory as to all employ
ers in the group and binding on all
unions no matter where located even
though they have an overwhelming
majority of all employees in the local
ity as members in the union. For in
stance, the Longshoremen in the City
of Tacoma are members of the A. F.
of l.. BY the decree of the Board these
employees must be bargained for by
the CIO.
"The mere statement of the princi-
pie proves its injustice and there is no
doubt as to the unlawfulness. There
fore, the compulsory decree will be re-
sisted and will be fought through to a
final conclusion"

Massachusetts State Federation had
already aided in defeating a sales tax

asking for an alert scrutiny of special

''It is of the greatest importance
that all organizations affiliated with

represented at this Convention.
Election of Delegates
Delegates must be elected at least
two weeks previous to the Convention,
and their names forwarded to the Sec
retary-Treasurer of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Immediately after
their election.
"Delegates are not entitled to seats
in the Convention unless the tax and
assessments of their organization have
been paid in full to August 81, 1888.
The Importance of our movement,
the duty of the hour and for the fu-

entitled to representation shall send
its full quota of delegates to the Hous-

Credentials
Credentials in duplicate are for
warded to all affiliated unions. The
original credential should be given to
the delegate-elect and the duplicate

"The Committee on Credentials will
meet at the headquarters of the Amer

Women may serve as jurors. The
service of jurors is compulsory unless
excused as provided by law.
There are certain common-law in
equalities still operating against
woman in Ohio, the report reveals.
These include the following:
In general the wife's services belong
to the husband. If her work outside
the home should interfere with her do
mestic duties, her husband has legal
right to interfere.
By common-law rule, property ac-
quired after marriage through the CO.
operative efforts of the spouse belongs
to the husband and is subject to his
control.
1t has been held recently that an
unemacipated minors earnings belong
to the father until the child becomes
of age.
Where the spouses are living to-
gether, the husband, as the head of the
family, has the right to select the
domicile, and it is the duty of the wife
to follow his choice, providing he acts
in good faith and with due regard to
her comfort, health, welfare, safety
and peace of mind.

SOCIAL SECURITY ISN'T NEW

We hear a great deal about "social
security" these days. But there's moth
ing new about it. For social security
has been the stock-in-t trade of one of
the great American private industries
for decades. The industry is life in
surance.
Policies have various names-but all
of them are designed to provide social
security in one way or another. 1t
may be security for you or your busi-
ness or your wife or your children. 1t
may be any one of many kinds of pro-
lection. In every instance, it's purpose
is to guard you and yours against
those exigencies which are the cre-
ators of social insecurity"

The Rush home was quiet as the
Browns stepped inside.
"Take off your wraps" said Mrs.
Rush. "Now, Bob and Nelly, run down
into the basement; you'll find the

mother into a pleasant living-room.

"All right, dear" The tipping was
done very quickly, and the "knock''
soon followed.
The basement was room with two
large windows and good floor. Old
curtains strung across one end marked
off a stage. A bench along the oppo-
site end accommodated the audience.
The youngest boy drew the curtains
upon Goldilocks, discovered asleep on
the "little wee bed" Her hair was
made of strips of paper fastened to
a halo. Boxes, boards and old quilts
formed the beds. The action was some

During the intermssions there was
wonderful dancing to Toms mouth
