INSURANCE
RECORDS POSTED

BUTTE.-Wages OF thousands of
Montana men and women for whom
the Federal Social Security Board
has established old-age insurance
accounts we're being posted, together
with those Of millions of other
Americans, at the average daily rate
OF $4,000 according to word received
here today by Stewart J. Thomas,
manager of the Butte field office of
the board.
The wages now being posted, Mr..
Thomas explained, are from en-
ployers' wage reports for 1887, which
were filed at the end Of each six
month period. Approximately 49,
100000 wage items reported by en-
ployers for 1897 have been received
by the Social Security Board from
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and
about 40 per cent Of these have been
posted to employees accounts.
Under revised regulations effective
January l, 1888, employers now file
a tax return every three months,
when they pay their taxes and their
employees taxes. On the same form
they list the amount of wages paid
to each employee during the quarter.
Approximately 100000 wage items
reported by employers for the first
three months of 1888 have been re-
ceived by the Social Security Board.
Employers wage reports are filed
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue
and, after they have been checked
against the employers tax return,
are turned over to the Social Sc
curity Board where each employees
wages r recorded in his old-age
insurance account.
although there is a few months
lag between a workers pay day and
the day his wages are recorded to
his Federal old-age insurance ac-
count, this will not cause delay in
settling a claim for benefits" Mr..
Thomas declared.
"Lump-sum payments are now be-
ing made to workers reaching age IS
and to heirs and estates of workers
who have died"

Whether the employment is part
time, temporary, OF permanent, and
although the employer has no other
employee, a report of the employees
wages, together with his account

office. 1.-THE employee is required

Mr.. MCTAGGART
RECENTLY FILED FOR
STATE SENATOR

The following story is reprinted
from the Montana Labor News of
January 26, 1888:
Archie McTaggart was born a
member of the working class. He
has never faltered in his loyalty to
or his sympathy for those who toll.
He was born in Massachusetts in
1884. At the age of 10 "he brought
his parents to Montana and selected
Missoula as best adapted to the needs
of a lad with ambition to acquire
an education" as some of his friends
put it. In 1903, at the age of 10, we
find him a member of the Missoula
Clerks Union and the records are
said to show that he was regular in
attendance and energetic in pro-
noting union interests.
In 1905 he moved to Butte and i'm
mediately joined the clerks union,
where he also showed a laudible de-
sire to do his duty as a union man.
His services were SO well appreciated
that he was soon nominated for the
office of business agent and made a
most creditable race for a compare
lively new member.
In 1908 he transferred to the
butchers union, of which organiza-
ton he remained a member until he
engaged in bushes for himself.
During a business life of 10 years
duration Mr.. McTaggart established
as good a record as an employer as
he previously enjoyed as a member
of organized labor. Throughout these
many years as a member of the
group of wholesale dealers in Butte
he has always paid union wages-or
more than union wages-to his en-
ployees, Not only has he been fair
from a wage standpoint, but he like
wise has enjoyed the reputation of
being decent in his treatment of en-
ployees.
He showed fine spirit in 1928 when
he accompanied President Patrick
German of the Amalgamated Meat
cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America to Ogden and, in the
course of 48 hours, formed a union
with over 200 members. He carries
a letter from the secretary of the
Meatcutters International Union of
North America thanking him for his
services in establishing the Ogden
meatcutters' union.
