"Red" Caniff, Steubenville council
man-at-large and secretary of Local
Union No. 315 of the Moving Picture
Machine Operators Union, has re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement of
the Democratic executive committee
Of Jefferson county as one of the two
democratic candidates for State Sen
ator in the 20th-22nd Senatorial dis
trict of Ohio, according to the an
nouncement of John Nolan, chairman
of the committee.
"Red," as Caniff is better known
to his legion Of friends throughout
the state, is declared to be favored
by the Democratic voters in the en-
tire 2Oth-22nd Senatorial district,
which comprises the counties of Bel
mont, Columbiana, Harrison and JEFF
ferson.
In the election last November
Caniff was elected councilman-at-
large by a vote which exceeded that
of all other council candidates on both
tickets. He also represents labor on
the board of trustees of the Steuben-
vile Community Chest fund.
The organized labor movement be-
lieves that, due to the fact that
Caniff's progressive fighting leader
ship is we'll tempered with tact and
diplomacy, his election to the State
Senatorship would be a master stroke
for the working classes in this indus
trial district as well as advantageous
to the labor movement of the entire
state.
The spontaneous support accorded
Caniff's candidacy was not built up
over night but come from many years
of energetic, persistent and tireless
effort on his part in behalf of organ

Texas Shrimp Workers
Secure Union Contract
Closed Shops and Wage Increases In
cluded in Agreement Finalized
by Federation

Galveston, Texas.-A closed shop
contract believed to be the first in the
shrimp industry in this country, was
signed at Galveston on May 3, Harry
w. Acreman, executive secretary Of
the Texas State Federation of Labor
announced. The agreement is between
Local No. 21O44 Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and leading shrimp
producing concerns operating in Gal
weston.
Besides the closed shop feature, the
agreement provides wage increases
and other considerations for the work
ers. Joseph S. Myers, United States
Department of Labor Conciliator,
brought the two sides together in a
series of conferences and helped in
working out satisfactory terms of the
contract. Approximately 400 workers
are affected.
The Shrimp Workers Local was or
ganized last year, and on December
II, 1887, presented proposed con-
tract to all wholesale shrimp pro-
ducers, calling for wage increases and
the closed union shop. The whole
salers disregarded the proposal, and
on February 8, the union sent letters
to them asking for consideration and
a reply to the unions proposal, but
nothing was DONE
Then President Bob Gritta of the
Galveston Labor Council asked the
Department Of Labor to assign Mr..
Myers to the case in an effort to bring
the two parties together. He arrived
in Galveston April 22, and went into
a series of conferences with repre-
sentatives of both sides. The agree
ment resulted.

New Ohio Record Set
As 235.500 Go On WPA

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-While Ohio
"recessions" and nothing else, the
Federal Government has been forced
to assume a greater responsibility
than ever before in providing work or
direct relief to thousands of needy
families in this state.
Ohio's industrial record is blacklist
in the Nation, exceeding any other
state, including the more populous
New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Approximately one out of every five
persons in the great State of Ohio
are now dependent either upon works
progress administration aid or general
relief, according to official figures.
The largest number of persons in
history--233,5 500 to be exact-are en-
ployed on various WPA projects in
Ohio. With employment quotas based
on needs of the jobless, conditions led
WPA officials to the belief that Ohio's
requirements were greater than in
other states.
Cleveland is undergoing poor
relief crisis which city officials have
described as the worst in six years. 1t
is estimated that one out of every four
persons in that city is dependent upon
some form of relief.
Hamilton county (CincinnatD; Lu-
cas- county (Toledo); Summit county
| (Akron), and Franklin county (Colum-
| bus), are some of the other counties
reporting heavy unemployment.
Hungry workers, unemployed
through no fault of their own, cannot
be expected to generate sympathy for
industralists who insist on sitting on
| their self-frozen assets and cry for
help when the government turns on
the cheat" to thaw them out.

Lump Sum Claims Approved
At Two Per Minute Rate

Lump-sum claims for Federal old
age insurance are being approved by
the Social Security Board at the rate
of one every 30 seconds of each work
ing day.
In making this announcement John
]. Corson, Acting Director of the
Bureau of Old-Age Insurance which
handles the social security accounts
of more than 38,O00,000 industrial and
commercial workers, said the Board
anticipates steadily increasing num-
ber of claims.
During the first 10 days in April
claims were certified for payment by
the Board at the rate of approximately
TAO per day. The size of lump-sum
payment is steadily increasing as
these payments are based directly on
the total of wages received since
January /, 1897. A lump p-sum benefit
payment represents 32 per cent of
the total wages received. In 1912,
the Federal Government will pay
monthly retirement benefits for life to
workers who reach age IS and meet
certain other simple qualifications.
Mr.. Corson has instructed all field
office managers to explain to wage
earners the lump-sum claim procedure
and to assist those who are eligible in
filing applications for these benefits.
"The procedure" said Mr.. Corson,
"is exceedingly simple. Each claim
ant is usually requested to file one
brief form at the nearest field office.
Ordinarily the only information re-
quired is the claimants name and ad-
dress, the name and address of his
employer, date and place of birth, his
social security account number, and
the amount Of wages received"

MASSACHUSETTS RELIEF GROWS

Boston, Mass.-The tremendous in
crease in the number of unemployed
working men and women in Massachu-
sets during the last nine years is
tragically revealed in survey just
completed by the New England Office
of the Social Security Board.
The report said that for IL repre-
sentative Massachusetts cities the ex-
penditures for relief rose from $6,437,-
600 in 1929 to $57 ,43l 600 in 1887 In
1929, the entire relief bill was paid
from State and city funds, but in 1887
more than half of the disbursement
was paid by the Federal Government.
In Springfield, the per capita cost
of relief was $1.69 in 1929 and $25.S6
in 1887. In Boston the per capita cost
in 1887 was $37.4S.
