EXPLAINS MATTER
COVERING SOCIAL
SECURITY FACTS
WILLIAM ". LITTLE STATES
THERE IS STILL MUCH CON-
FUSION REGARDING DIFF
FERENT SECTIONS

There is still a great deal OF
confusion regarding the different
sections of the Social Security
Act, said William v. Little, in
charge of the Key West office of
the Florida State Employment
Service.
"A large number of workers
apply for jobless benefits who
are under the impression that the
one percent deducted from their
wages for the payment of old age
insurance qualities them to re-
ceive unemployment compensa-
ton, Mr.. Little said.
Federal Old Age Insurance
and Unemployment Compensa-
ton, while separate and distinct
laws, are both part of the Social
Security Act, and are, therefore,
easily confused.
Both the employer and en-
ployes pay the tax for Federal
Old Age Insurance and it is adj
ministered by the Federal Gov
eminent. Only the employer
pays contributions for unemploy-
ment COMPENSATION and it is ad-
ministered by the state, the adj
ministration being financed by
the government.
Federal Old Age Insurance
applies only to salaries up to 3d.
900 per year and only to indi-
viduals up to IS years of age.
Unemployment compensation has
neither salary nor age limita-
tiOnS..
"Jobless benefits are not based
upon contributions by the work
er. They are based upon the
wages earned by him during the
first nine months of 1888. Bene-
fits are paid from fund ac-
cumulated by the contributions
of 81 per cent of the payrolls of
the liable employer.
FIN order for a worker to ac-
cumulate sufficient wage credits
to qualify for benefits he must
have earned during the base
period of the first nine months of
1888 an amount equal to or
greater than Is times his weekly
benefit amount. At no time is it
necessary or lawful for the work.

ment compensation fund.

At the Junior Chamber of Com

night, Joe Pearlman, president of
the Key West Retail Merchants
Association, told members that
merchants here were competing
successfully with outside compe-,

methods of service.
''The mail order competition is
our principal obstacle, Mr.. Pearl

that by lower prices secured
through a resident buying agen-
cy, by attractive newspaper adj

"The resident buyer is one who
goes to a city or cities and there
estimates the needs of city for

a sizeable bloc of sales he can
then command price which will
compete with those of mail order
and larger cities.
