point the law says: "Action to recover
such liability may be maintained in
any court of competent jurisdiction by
any one or more employees for and in
behalf Of himself or themselves and
other employees similarly situated, or
such employe or employees may desig-
nate an agent or representative to
maintain such action for and in behalf
of all employees similarly situated"
This means that labor union could
bring such suit on behalf of it's men,
bers.
The law does not specify any par
ticular form of records that must be
kept by employees. Nor has Admins
traitor Andrews prescribed any par
ticular form. He has ruled, however,
that they must show the individual
workers name, his address, the hours
worked, the amount of pay received
and the date Of payment. If overtime
is worked, the records also must show
the regular rate of pay, the basis up
on which wages are paid, and the
amount paid for overtime.
Duly authorized inspectors of the
Wage and Hour Division may enter
any plant or factory subject to the
provisions Of the Act, inspect and copy
the records and question the employees.
Only by talking to the employees may
it be possible to ascertain whether
the law has been complied with. Thi.;
is especially true in instances in which
it is suspected that the payroll rec
ords may be inaccurate or deliberately
! falsifed.
Any employe covered by the Act
who has reason to suspect that he is
not receiving the benefits to which he
is entitled would do we'll to obtain
small pocket notebook in which to set
down each day the time he goes to
work, the time he quits for lunch, the
[ time he resumes work after lunch,
and the time he quits work for the day.
Such record will be of great as
sistance to the inspector if he has oc-
casion to check up the employers rec
ords. 1t will be of great value if the
employe wishes to make a complaint
of noncompliance against his employ
er. 1t also should prove useful in
case the employe wishes to bring suit
! against his employer under the "self-
enforcing" clause

Roberts Advises
Workers To Keep
Own Wage Record
Might Be Necessary to Hove
Proof Of Wages or of 20
Weeks Worked
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By OhIO Labor News SerVice)
Columbus, O.-Importance of work.
ers keeping a personal record of their
employers and the wages paid them
during employment periods was stress
ed last week by w. T. Roberts, labor
member of the Board of Review, Bu-
reau Of Unemployment Compensation,
as the Social Security Board announced
that wages credited to the old age in
surance account of individual workers
was available for the years 1887 and
1888.
"Workers should keep their own
wage and employment records for
their protection, not only for correct
ing errors in their old age insurance
account but to provide the BUC with
positive wage and employment data
should their employer fail to report
the full wage paid or employment
period, on which unemployment bene-
fits are computed" Roberts said.
He cited instances where workers
had complained to the BUG that they
had earned more than reported by
their employer, but were unable to
offer proof frAs personal records, and
also where employment for the re-
quired 20 weeks was the subject of dis
pute between workers and former en-
ployers.
The Social Security Board in its
notice that wage credit information
was available for the two year period
stated that a majority of requests for
wage statements were apparently
based on the applicants doubt that his
employer had fully or accurately re-
ported the workers wages. In some
cases, wage accounts showed a dis
agreement between wages as reported
and those actually received, the Board
said.
Workers share the cost of building
up their old age insurance account,
while contributions to the unemploy-
ment compensation fund are made only
by employers, Roberts pointed out.

BiqIow Amendment
Petitions Checked
BY State Officials
Sponsor Of Plan Files253.00O
Signatures With Stote
Secretary
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-Herbert S. Bigelow,
Cincinnati minister and former Con-
gressman, last week filed with Secre-
tary of State Earl Griffith petitions
bearing the signature of $4,000
Ohioans who favor the adoption of
proposed amendments to the States
constitution liberalizing aged pensions
and initiative petition and referendum
requirements.
The signatures will be counted by
the Secretary of States office to de-
termine if the total number and the
percentage quotas in "a counties have
been met, and, if the petitions qualify
in that respect, they will be sent to
the SO county election boards for
checking as to whether the signatures
are valid and those of qualified cleo
tors.
Bigelow said the signatures were
$4,000 more than the total required by
the constitution, and that he had ex-
ceeded the percentage quota of sig
natures in So counties, nine more than
required. He also stated that he had
held back approximately 100000 sig
natures which may be used to cover
any shortage discovered with 30-day
grace period for filing.
If sufficient number of signatures
are filed, either in the original peti-
tions or in supplementary petitions
which may be submitted, voters at the
November election will have the op-
portunity to express their opinion on
the following proposed constitutional
amendments:
A guarantee Of $50 a month to all
single persons over 60 years of age
and retired from gainful occupations
and $50 month to married couples
Bigelow proposes per cent tax on
all real estate valued in excess OF
$4,000 per acre and an income tax
for Ohioans equal to one-fourth of the
federal income tax to finance his pen
sion plan.
Reduce to 100000 the number OF
signatures required to place a consti-
tutional amendment before the voters
and to require only $4,000 signatures
| W place pTOpOSeu law OH Ine DdllOC
Signatures equivalent to 10 per cent
of the votes cast at the previous cleo
tion are now required to place con,
stitutional amendment proposal on the
ballot, and per cent to place a pro.
posed law before the legislature.
Should the legislature fail to ap.
prove such bill, an additional pei
cent total Of signatures is now re-
quired to take the proposed law direct
ly before the voters.
Nearly one-half of the signatures
filed with the Secretary of State last
week were obtained in Cuyahogs
county (Cleveland), which provided
76,491, and Hamilton county (Cincin
natD, which supplied 1890.

Gypsies Feel Wrath
OF Pine County Law

Times have changed and espe-
cially in Pine county with the
present law enforcement officers
holding sway. The ease with
which gypsies have fleeced an I'M
suspecting public has given way
to hardship and grief
During the latter part of last
week nine cars of the thieving
nomads came into the Sandstone
neighborhood and began plying
their trade of playing the stores
and the public for suckers"
Officers were called in many cases
and finally, which proved to be
the undoing of the visitors, Dep
uty Sheriff Lenard H. Lund of
Askov, was called. He kept on
the trail of the wanderers until
sufficient evidence was collected
and promptly picked up child
which accompanied an elder into
one of the stores and found some
stolen articles. That led to other
evidence and soon real case
was had against them. Some
of them spent night in the Sand
stone Jail and upon being brought
before the court of Justice J. H.
Tomhave on vagrancy charges,
they were assessed 5000 and costs.
The whole bunch" were or
dered by the officers to leave the
county and the state. One of
their victims was an aged farmer
in the vicinity of Hinckley who
was robbed of $40 by one of the
gypsy women.
Rypkema, Thrun and Lund
made up the trio who pushed the
band to the "ten-yard line" and
then kicked them over the line
for touchdown for the people
of this section. Their trip into
this county certainly did not net
them enough to service the Lin
coin Zephyrs, the Mercuries and
the Chevrolets which they drove.

Trend Is Firm In
Fat Cattle Trade
Choice Mixed Yearlings
1918; Hogs Decline;
Lamb Trade Steady.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, August l,
1899: Cattle prices strengthened this
week, according to the Federal-State
Market News Service. Fed steers
and yearlings scaling under 1000
pounds secured the best action, but
other weights and classes ruled fully
steady to strong, liberal waterfalls
considered. Vealers slipped a little
on Monday but staged comeback
when shippers became aggressive
buyers. Stock cattle supplies were
light for the season and were quick
ly cleared at firm prices. Medium
to good fed steers and yearlings
bulked at $500 to 1925, and a few
good and choice grades made $3.50
to $975, with load of 1881 pound
mixed yearlings at the outside. Choice
852 pound heifers scored $685., and
medium to good kinds were wanted
at $3.50 to $500. Common to good
beef cows earned $500 to $6.75, can
ners and cutters $3.50 to $4.75, COM
mon to medium bulls mainly $3.50
to $6.25, good to choice vealers $500
to $1,000, and common to good
grassy killer calves $3.50 to $500.
Most of the stock steers were COM
mon and medium grades selling at
$500 to $3.50, but medium and good
whiteface calves brought $500 to
$3.50. Good over 100 pound spring.
ers suitable for eastern shipment were
wanted at $1,000 to $500, and some
lighter cows were taken at $4,000
to $65.00, but closeup springers and
mixers dependent on the local trade
were hard to move.
