Aunt Tibby's
Trunk

"R UT, Mazie," remarked Bert
- Howard to his pretty little
wife, cit isn't quite fair that Aunt
libby should want to come back
so soon; it's less than three weeks
since she left, and she had been
here six months. I have no OBJ
jections to your aunt; she's nice
old lady, if bit eccentric, but
you always work so hard enter
tanning her that you wear yourself
out. Between worrying over her
comfort and fussing about the
safety of that old cowhide trunk,
home becomes place of torment
for me instead of haven of rest.
And then Maize, whose bobbed
crown of glory was decidedly of
the shade beloved by Titan, and
with a temper to correspond,
replied thus: eff you were proper
Iy interested in the welfare of
your family you'd want to keep
Aunt libby here all the time! Do
you fancy that she herself would
be so particular about that old
cowhide trunk, as you are pleased
to call it, if it didn't contain valu-
ables? She told memo, I won't
say she exactly told me, but she
gave me to understand, and, I
know all the family have the same
impression-that in it she carries
her stocks and bonds. She has
bequeathed the trunk to the one
in whose home she happens to
die"
"Mazie!" exclaimed Bert, put
ting his arms around his wife,
waiting for dead mems shoes
is sorry business! Do what you
can for your aunt without making
your family unhappy, but put all
such ideas as you've just men

On the HighwdY

1t is a curious trait in human
nature that we will take off our
hats when a woman enters an
elevator, and be most apollo
getic if we bump into somebody
inadvertently; but the instant
we get our hands on a steering
wheel we damn all mankind
woman and man alike.
Too often, we are inclined to
look upon traffic guides and
regulations as irritating restric-
tons designed primarily to
keep us from having a good
time, when the truth of the
matter is, they have been de-
vised solely for our convenience
and comfort.

Stockholders Dilemma


shadow of a sheriff darkened hos
pital. Stockholders owned it. But
they hadn't paid much attention to
its need for money. Accordingly
they faced either lose or pay. One
day it fell to me to travel more
than $50 miles through sizzling heat
across midsummer desert to ex-
plain to these stockholders their dire
situation. Mercury stood about 1O5.
The chairman had no notion of the
hazardous stakes he was playing as
he turned that group into lawn
party. Surely it was hot! Out of
doors was little more comfortable.
But we were there to study a crisis.
After the chairman introduced me
to the group he said, while she
talks, we will have some refresh
ments!" / wanted to throw back at
him that it takes two to play; that
this was their game, not mine; their
hospital, not mine; and if ice cream
was their deepest craving, l might
like some too. 1t was as hot for
me as it was for them. Instead |
tried to count "ten brittle digits in a
row." to calm down and to put their
financial straits clearly before them.
They ate their sweets. talked my
heart out. They lost their hospital.
Then they cared. Life is like that.
No use talking, the single driver
stands to lose more often than the
double team! The man that wants
to say it all and do it all and be it
all and have it all, finds out sooner
or later that mo man liveth unto
himself" and that everywhere with
everybody, you need me, need you
and we all need one another. Life
does call for reciprocity. 1t does
take two to win!

CONTINUOUS SHOW SUNDAY
Congressman Worms U. S.
Against War HYsterid

Washington, D. c., QLNS).-This
country is being Sprayed with propa-
ganda, just as we were back in 1915
and 1917" Representative Harold
knutson of Minnesota, declared in a
recent radio address warning that the
people should be on guard against
"the usual flag waving that appeals
to the emotions but leaves the intel
lect cold" Knutson is one of the Con-
gressmen who 21 years ago voted
against Americas entrance into the
World War;
"We are told that we must arm our
selves to the teeth if we would escape
the fate of China and Ethiopia; that
our navy is wholly inadequate for our
national defense; that America must
fulfill her glorious destiny and rees-
tablish peace in strife-torn world
Representative Knutson said. "In 9TH
er words, our late allies would again
drag us into the welter of another
world war to save them. Nearly all
of our present economic and political
ills," he declared, "are due to our hav-
ing participated in a foreign war 20
years ago. The expense of our actual
participation in the war was nearly 40
billion dollars, which is almost $40 for
every minute since the dawn of the
Christian era.
"Let us return to the old American
policy of non-intervention in foreign
affairs" Knutson concluded, "for in
that direction peace lies"

Pay Crediting on
Social Security
Cards Finished

Washington, D. c., QLNS).-The
Social Security Board has now fin
ished crediting to the millions of So
cial security accounts the workers
wages for 1887 as reported by their
employers, it was announced here at
headquarters of the board
This makes it possible, says the
board, for the worker to find out, on
request, the amount Of his 1887 cred
it's toward old-age insurance benefits
as thus far recorded.
The boards announcement marks
the completion Of the first phase in the
worlds biggest bookkeeping job-the
crediting of wages to social security
accounts as basis for computing
old-age insurance benefits when due.
Under the old-age insurance system,
employers are required to report the
wages they pay to each of their en-
ployes, together with their own tax
and the tax taken out of the employees s
pay.
Lag In Posting of Wages
These wage reports are filed with
the Bureau of Internal Revenue as a
part of the employers tax returns,
and after being checked against the
tax returns are turned over to the So
cial Security Board. There each work
er's wage is credited to his own social
security account, which is kept under
his name and account number.
There is an unavoidable lag Of about
six months, the board explains, be-
tween the end of the period for which
wages are reported, and the entry of
the workers wages on his social Sc
curity account. Employers are allowed
one month after the end of the report
ing period in which to make their re-
ports. The Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. requires about three months for
auditing the reports, and about the
same amount of time is required fol
the boards Bureau of Old-Age Insur,
ance to complete the posting of wages
During the first year Of operation, the
board was developing it's system OF
bookkeeping, and at the same time re-
cruiting and training workers for the
job.
Crediting Done At High Rate
With operations not fully under way
until about three months ago, the fina
crediting of wage items has been ac.
complished at an average rate of over
a million day.
Since July LIST, the board has beer
able to comply with workers requests
for statement of their wage credits
The worker gives his name as showl
on his application for account number
his present address, the exact date OF
his birth, and his account number. Ir
reply the board sends a statement OF
credits and circular asking the work
er to notify the board at once if the
statement does not agree with his owl
record of his wages, and to give, al
the same time, the name and addres!
of each employer for whom he ha.
worked, the dates showing length o,
employment in each case, and tht
amount of wages received.

Whole Fubric Of
Republic Steel S
Spy System Laid
Bore by Inquiry

Washington, D. c., QLNS).-Re-
public Steel has been revealed as a
kindly, accommodating critter in the
last few hearings of the La Toilette
Civil Liberties Committee. 1t was
ready to pass on all its spy reports
to all the other steel companies; and
did-getting others back. 1t was eager
to pass out easy money to steel work.
ers who were ready to give the Re-
public the inside dope on all that the
unions were doing. 1t even paid one
man $500 cash, for this trifing SER
vice. 1t offered another man chick
en- farm if he would only stop organ
izing; and can't understand yet why
he didn't accept.
In other words, the whole camou-
Aage of Republics spy system has
been laid bare, ripped up, and torn to
shreds. The committee proved:
That there was regular system of
exchange of spy reports throughout
most of the steel industry, and cor
responding cooperation in discharg-
ing union men.
Company Cop Admits Lying
That the Republic subsidized guards
who beat union organizers unmerciful-
ly whenever they could get odds
enough.
That the company did it's utmost,
with some success, to corrupt steel
workers and get them to betray their
comrades.
That company cops posed as dis
charged steel workers to get into the
union.
The most fragrant case of this last
was that of w. T. Jergens, former
company cop for the Republic. He
told it all. He said he swore to a
statement before a notary about his
previous job to get into the union.
care any Of the things set down in
this sworn statement true?" asked
La Toilette
"No, sir, not a one" replied Jer-
gems, cheerfully.
Official Denial Disproved
"What were you doing" asked Sem
ator La Toilette, driving about the
city of Cleveland, July IL, 1887, with
six pieces of iron pipe, black jack,
one Colt revolver and one Smith &
Wesson revolver?"
"Those guns were forgot about"
said Jergens. "The pipes were in the
back, and we just ignored them."
What made the exposure all the
more devastating is that it came right
on top of an official denial of all Re-
public spy work. C. M. White, execu-
tive vice president of the company
took the stand at the opening of the
session, and sw0See. solemnly that he
never authorized or discussed with
anybody the hiring of union informers.
| And Immediately, one after another
of his own stool pigeons took the stand
and told in detail what they had done
and been hired to do.

266,467 ON WPA

Columbus, Ohio, (OLNS).-A new
all-time high for WPA employment in
Ohio was reached July 20, when state
headquarters here reported that to-
tai of 266,467 persons were employed
on S3l WPA projects in the state.
While this number significantly re-
veals the industrial situation in the
state, WPA officials reported that an
additional 47,324 needy heads of fam
lilies had made application for assign
ment to PWA projects.
Unless private industry, covered un-
der the provisions of the Ohio Unem-
ployment Compensation law, has alb
sorbed these 313,791 workers for a
period of 20 weeks during 1888, they
will not be eligible to receive unem-
ployment compensation benefits after
January l, 1889.

Sule1n Still Talks
Of Past Fish Fry
Two Schools of Thought
Some Say Delegates
Used Net

Salem, O.-The attendance at the
last regular meeting Of Local Union
AZ was not at all bad considering the
terrific heat wave which has Salem in
it's grasp. The crowd, however, did
not warrant the election Of a conferee
so a special meeting was held July
26. We chose a man of exceptional
ability and the local has faith in him
to be a real aid to the conference COM
mittee.
We were all sorry to hear Of the
death of Brother Schaffer's father.
The boys still get kick out of talk
ing about the fish fry which was made
possible by delegates Sanders and Rip
pie. They caught the fish in Atlantic
City on the Fourth Of last month.
Some seem to think they were caught
in net, but most Of the fellows give
them the benefit Of the doubt and
string along with the hook and line
idea.-O. G.. AZ.

Slash capitalization.
Not Wages. Says Union
Railroads Could Pay Decent Wages
and Make Profit, Declares G. M.
Harrison

Chicago, Ill.,, QLNs).-George M.
Harrison, chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association, opened
his fight against the proposed Is per
cent cut of rail wages with the one
thing that railroad financiers cannot
stand-a plain statement of their own
doings.
The railroads, Harrison said, could
pay decent wages and make decent
profits if they would cut their capital
ization down to actual values. AS
partial illustration of this, he cited
some figures from the ICC, as follows:
Nickel Plate: 1CC valuation, $780,
100000; capitalization, 1928 100000.
Chicago Great Western: ICC valua-
ton, $73,O00,00O; capitalization, $780,
100000
Georgia & Florida: ICC valuation,
$12,O00,0O0; capitalization, $50, O,lOO,-
600.
And several others much the same.
Harrison spoke for Is railroad un-
ions. A. F. Whitney, head of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
had separate conference with the
management for his union alone, which
came to nothing.
