Defeat Of Administration Bill
DERIVES Destitute Of Jobs
R~EA(TI0NARY S0L0N5
KNIFE LENDING BILL
Wreck job Program and Strike
Out at Unemployed.

Hope for elimination of the unfair
"18 Month Clause" from the Wood
rum WPA bill was blasted last Tues
day when r~eactionary Republican
and Democrat House members over
rode liberals by a vote of 196-l69 to
consign President Roosevelt's lend
ing-spending" bill to the waste paper
basket.
Late last week liberal senators,
led by Senator James E. Murray of
Butte, successfully attached a rider"
to the bill that would withdraw the
l8-month provision calling for arbi-
trary layoffs of WPA workers who
have been on rolls a year and a half.
Action of the House makes effective
again the vicious clause that will
cause close to 1000 workers to lose
jobs in Silver Bow county on or be-
fore September 1.
By their irresponsible action in
killing the lending bill, House mem
bers also doomed an estimated $780,
900 jobs throughout the country that
other of its provisions would have
made possible. Along with appro-
priations amounting to $1,000, 0OO, 900
a proposed outlay of $80O,OOO,O 900 for
continuance of low-income housing
met its death at the hands of Tory
congressman. Many Montana locali-
ties that had hoped for benefits from
this fund will be disappointed.
Significantly, a leader in the sue
cessful defeat of the lending bill was
the r%eactionary congressman from
Virginia affectionately known to
Wall Street bankers and the Tory
press as broad-shouldered Cliff"
Woodrum.

Honor Memory
OF Frank Little

In a simple but impressive service
beside his grave in Mountain View
cemetery Tuesday afternoon, Butte
Miners and many friends comment
Grated the anniversary of Frank
Titles death.
The solemn occasion carried back
their minds to the bitter days of
1917 when the mining companies of
Butte boldly resorted to murder in
an attempt to break the spirit of the
striking miners.
Edward Mason, president of the
Miners Union, in a brief talk recalled
Titles sacrifice and placed a beauti-
full wreath upon the grave. William
Mason, secretary of the Union, then
spoke and said that if Frank Titles
death is not to be in vain, labor must
be united and must fight.
Clarence Blewett, in closing the
services, pointed out that Titles
death was only one incident of CAPT
talist cruelty and its determination
to perpetuate the system at whatever
cost.
A pledge was given to carry on the
work in which Little and many
others have given their lives.

W0RKERS MAY GET
STATEMENT OF WAGES
CREDITED TO OLD AGE
ACCOUNT

Newton R. Holcomb, assistant re-
gional representative, Bureau of Old
Age Insurance, Denver, Colorado,
announces that any worker may
now secure a statement showing the
amount of wages credited to his ac-
count for 1887 and 1888. Wages Of
workers are reported to the govern
ment by employers and are posted
to the workers old-age insurance
account and serve as a basis for pay
ment of old-age insurance benefits.
It is urged that all persons covered
by the old-age insurance program
request a statement of the amount
of wages posted to their accounts.
If a person believes he earned wages
that were not reported, the Social
Security Board will make the neces-
sary Investigations to insure the
accuracy of each workers account.
Forms for requesting these state
ments of wages posted may be Sc
cured from Stewart ]. Thomas, man
ager of the Butte office of the Social
Security Board located in the Silver
Bow Block, or from Social Security
Board offices in Billings, Havre, and
Helena. These offices will furnish
all necessary assistance to workers
desiring statements of their old-age
insurance accounts.
It is pointed out that any labor
union may secure a supply Of post
cards for the use of members in re-
questing these statements by calling
on the Social Security Board offices.
The only cases in which it is i'm
possible to provide applicants with
statements Of wages received are
those in which the individuals have
been engaged in employment not
covered by the federal old-age in
surance provisions of the Social Sc
curity Act, such as railroad work,
farm labor, and domestic service.
1t is important that a worker report
his Social Security account number
to each employer for whom he works
in order to insure that wages earned
will be properly posted to his Social
Security account. Wage earners
should also be careful to keep ac-
curate records of wages they have
earned in all employment covered
by the old-age insurance program.
Since later benefits are based on the
earnings of the worker, it is i'm
portant that employers properly re-
port all wages to the Social Security
Board in order that the worker may
be certain of receiving the total bene-
fits to which he may become en-
titled. Workers a insure the cor
r~ectness of their accounts by request
ing statements of the wages posed.
These statements will be furnished
all persons requesting them each
year. Statements of 1899 wages post
ed to accounts will be available
about July l, 1910.
