Wage Farmers and
Their Dependents
Deprived Of Care
The Low Income Groups
Are Hardest Hit Of All
Workers

Strong support of Government fl
nancial aid in developing an adequate
health service for the urban and rural
masses of the United States was
voiced by Matthew Woll, chairman of
the American Federation Of Labor
Committee on Social Security, at the
hearings held by the United States
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor on the National Health Bill in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Robert F. Wagner of New York.
The purpose Of the Wagner Bill is
"to provide for the general welfare
by enabling the several States to make
more adequate provision for public
health, prevention and control of
disease, maternal and child health
services, construction and mainten-
ance of needed hospitals and health
centers, care of the sick, disability in
surance, and training of personnel. For
grants to the States and administra-
ton the bill authorizes an appropria-
ton of $95, ,250,O00 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1910.
In outlining the terrific burden
which disease of all sorts casts upon
individuals and families in the lower
income groups, the totally inadequate
medical care available to them be-
cause of their small earnings, and the
urgent necessity for aid from the
United States Government to remedy
these conditions, Mr.. Woll said, in
part:
"No one is more conscious of the
Importance of good health than the
worker. Upon the maintenance OF
health depends his job and his living
| A period of illness or an injury may
mean not only the staggering costs OF

manent loss of job and income.

Right Of Appeal
In Job Insurance
Cases Explained
Social Security Board Hands
Down Views on Rights
Of Workers

The workers right of appeal from
a decision on his claim for out-of-work
benefits under the job-insurance laws,
and the steps to take in filing such an
appeal, are explained in a statement
recently prepared by the Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation of the
Social Security Board at the request
of organized labor. The Board says
in effect:
Opportunity for a fair hearing, be-
fore an impartial tribunal, for all
workers whose claims for unemploy-
ment compensation are denied, is re-
quired by the Social Security Act and
provided in every State unemployment
insurance law. Usually there is op-
portunity for second appeal, before
a board of review. Both first and Sec
ond appeals may be made without
cost to the worker. Finally, if he is
still not satisfied, he may take his case
to the courts.
Last year more than $4,000 appeals
were filed by workers, of which about
Z in every 10 were decided in their
favor. Employers, who have the same
right of appeal, filed nearly 600 ap-
peals, winning about 8 cases in 10.
Most important points to know
about appeals are the. following:
Q Anyone who is dissatisfied with
the decision on his claim has the right
to appeal. For example, you may ap-
peal if you are denied benefits on the
ground that you have not enough
wages to your credit, or that you quit
your job without due cause, or that
you were discharged for misconduct;
or you may appeal if you think the
amount of your benefits is less than
you are entitled to receive or if the
number of weeks during which you
will receive them is not correct; or on
other grounds.
(2) Before filing an appeal, how
ever, you should ask the local unem-
ployment compensation office to re-
examine your claim and reconsider
your case. Sometimes the matter can
be adjusted without making an appeal
(3) There is always a time limit
on appeals. In most States you must
file your appeal within S days afte,
you are notified Of the decision on your
claim.
(4) When you file an appeal, you
may either fill out blank form which
you can obtain from the local office
of the State employment service where
you filed your claim in the first place
this office stating that you wish te
or you may simply write letter te

Labor Conference
Quifs Discussion Of
Reducing Hours
Talk Of Shorter Hours In the
Coal Mines Held
Unnecessary

Geneva-The International Labor
Conference at its meeting here this
month accepted, without vote, res
olution providing for the suspension
temporarily of further discussion on
the question of the reduction of hours
of work in coal mines.
Under the terms of the resolution
the question will be referred back to
the Governing Body of the Internati-
onal Labor Office with the suggestion
that it be placed on the agenda Of the
Conference again ''as soon as such
action is warranted by an improve
ment in the international situation"
A. Ford Hinrichs, Government ad-
wiser of the United States and report
er Of the Conference committee that
considered the question of reduction
of hours of work in coal mines, told
the Conference that this action was
not to be construed as a sanction to
longer hours.
'In the United States, for example, u
he explained, "the 35-hour week is
firmly established for two years in
collective agreements, and applies to
more workers than were covered in
the text of the Draft Convention. The
Government will continue to support
the short work week in coal, as in
other industries.
"In the second place, the United
States delegation supports the resolu'
ton as the best means of assuring q
prompt reconsideration of the issue
of the shorter work week in coal mines
No procedural difficulties should STAND
in the way of action on the workers
just demands, the moment the inter.
national situation permits.

Union Building
Mechanics Ask
Prevailing Wage
Building Trades Meeting To
Request Unionists Not To
Accept WPA Cut
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

10y OnlO L8DOT NEWS SeTtlCc)
Columbus, O. - Organized WPA
workers in Ohio were requested not
to work for less than the prevailing
rate of wages in a resolution unani-
mously adopted by Union representa-
tives who attended a meeting in Co.
lumbus Monday afternoon, called by
the Ohio State Building and Con-
struction Trades Council in protest Of
the action Of Congress in ordering all
WPA workers on a 130-hour month
work schedule.
Copies of the resolution were order
ed sent to all local Building Trades
Councils and affiliated Unions in the
state, the Building and Construction
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor and affiliated In
ternational Unions, Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress and Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Called on short notice and in conflict
with meetings prior to the annual con-
vention of the Ohio State Building and
Construction Trades Council in Akron
July IL, the meeting Monday afternoon
nevertheless was attended by repre-
sentatives of Building Trades Councils
from every large city in the state who
were under instructions to take posi-
tive action in the emergency.
John w. Jockel, Cleveland, presi-
dent of the State Council, presided at
the meeting, which was ordered last
Friday on call issued by Charles j.
Case, Columbus, secretary of the state
organization.
President Jockel explained the stu
alton to the representatives as being
the result of hurried, last-minute leg
islation in which "reactionaries in
Congress" took advantage of the stu
alton to reinsert elimination of the
prevailing wage clause in the general
WPA bill, after it had once been
stricken from the measure by the Sen
ate.
Albert Dalton, business agent of the
Cleveland Building Trades Council
and vice president Of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, led the attack on
Congress with a demand for solidified
action by the organized building
tradesmen of the state.
He charged that elimination of the
prevailing wage provision would
wreck wage scales in private con-
struction, and that $500 skilled Union
mechanics had been removed from
WPA construction in the Cleveland
area. He also protested the editorial
attitude of the daily press towards

sidering 101 resolutions, four recon-
mendations of the Law Committee and
one from the Finance Committee.
The national officials of the organ
ization elected recently by the trade,
were installed and introduced by Dele
gate LYDIA Smith, president Of Lo-

President Duffy, who was presiding
over his twelfth convention, called on
each of the officers to speak as well
as retiring Fifth Vice President Alex
Young, retiring Seventh Vice Presi-
dent James MCGOWAN and former Vice
President Hugh Church. All wished
the delegates a fruitful year and ex-
pressed the hope they would keep up
the spirit of the organization.
A progressive organization cam
paign was the wish of the delegates,

the resolutions to vote of the trade.
The convention adopting the recon-

Although the delegates from Local
Union No. 131 brought in resolu-
ton to alter the provisions in the an
nounced trial settlement in the inter-
ests of a uniform wage scale for the
batterouts and mouldrunners, the dele
gates voted to uphold the decision of
the Executive Board and put the set
tlement on trial for the stipulated
three-month period.
Atlantic City was chosen on the first
ballot for the site Of the 1889 conven-
ton. Other cities nominated included:
East Liverpool, Cleveland, Chicago,
New York, Wheeling, Cincinnati and
Trenton.
At the close of the recommendations
by the committee on the officers re-
port, which was read by Henry Bruce,
chairman of the committee, all the
delegates stood with bowed heads
while Secretary Treasurer John Nc
Gillivray read the names of the 130
members who died the past year. A
minutes silence was then observed in
their memory.
The work of the various committees
and their chairman cannot be praised
too highly while the officials of the
organization were always ready to

manager of the Potters Herald had
nothing to do with the presentation
Of Resolution 81 at the Brother

peace in the ranks Of labor, was
presented by the delegates from
Local Union No. 4 and was rec
commended for adoption by the Res

was unanimously concurred in
by the delegates without debating
the question.

the bench. We commend the Commit
tee very highly for rejecting this very
destructive and menacing proposition.
