Dubuque Truck Drivers
Win Higher Wage Rate

Dubuque, Iowa. - (AFLWNS).-A
wage raise of $3.50 a week for bread
drivers and a weeks vacation with
pay for milk drivers were the out
standing features in agreements ne
gotiated here with Dubuque dairies
and baking companies by Truck Driv-
ers Local No. 421 Of the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs
Stablemen and Helpers Of America, ar
affiliate of the American Federation
of Labor.
Nine of the 20 employees of the San.
itary dairy who are drivers get 1t
cents per day more pay and q
weeks paid vacation under the agree.
ment. The other II, inside employees
get day off each week, working sia
days for the same pay previously re-
ceived for seven-day week. The
guaranteed weekly minimum wage
for inside workers at the Sanitary is
now 500.
The bread drivers contract covers
employees of the Continental Baking
Company who deliver Wonder breae
and other bakery products made ir
Davenport. They get $3.50 more pei
week guaranteed, $3.50, as compared
with $50 last year.
The 26 drivers employed by thu
Trausch firm, which delivers Sweet
heart bread and other Davenport
products, IL city drivers and ID coun
try routes, have had their minimum
guaranteed increased $500, so that il
now ranges from $26 to $39, but the,
average higher than the ,Continenta
minimum because Of sales volume.
The commission basis in effect fol
both these companies is a weekly base
of $11 plus 5 per cent for the frs
$500 in sales and per cent for sales
over that amount.
Federal bakery, which has no com
mission sales, pays it's drivers $25 pc
week for So hours Of work, plus 7;
cents an hour for overtime.
The reason for these wage increases
is found in the fact that every baker!
driver in Dubuque is a member O.

Three Attorneys
Face "AmbuIunce
Chosing" Charges
Industrial Commission. Bar
Association Strike
Pay Dirt"

Columbus, o. (OLNS). Disbar-
ment charges have been filed against
three attorneys by special commit
tee of the Ohio State Bar Association,
which has been conducting an investi-
cation of Ambulance chasing" activi-
ties of attorneys for the past several
months in cooperation with the Ohio
Industrial Commission.
The attorneys, first to be accused
since the investigation began, are B.
B. Greenwood and Sol Copperman,
Cleveland, and w. Sheldon Marshall,
Columbus.
Marshall is charged with conspiring
with the two Cleveland attorneys to
engage in Ambulance chasing" and
aiding them in an alleged fraudulent
scheme.
In addition to the charges that they
hired runners" to get law business,
Marshall is accused of making mis-
representations to the Industrial Com
mission in a case involving a Cleve-
land claimant.
Copperman and Greenwood are
charged in that particular case Of
conspiring to defraud the claimant and
convert money to their own use. Mar
shall is accused of accepting $500 for
his "fee" in the case.
Investigations of similar cases and
widespread Ambulance chasing" in
volving claimants for workmen's COM
pensation are being conducted by the
Bar Association with the aid of the
Industrial Commission throughout the
state.
A heated battle over the passage of
Legislation limiting accrued compensa-
tion to two years and publicity citing
cases wherein Ambulance chasing" at
torneys collected exorbitant fees from
claimants they represented before the
Industrial Commission and the courts
attracted the attention of the Bar AS
sociation, which began an investiga-
tion shortly after the legislature ad-
journed in June.
The Industrial Commission has
fought Ambulance chasing" for years,
but was handicapped in it's efforts by
lack of jurisdiction and cooperation of

Q.-May person receiving the

Editors Note:
This is the third in series of ques-
tions and answers relative to the
amended Social Security Act. Indi-
vidual questions concerning this sub
ject should be addressed to Mr.. Ed

who are now IS or who are approach
ing that age?
Alt is now possible for such per-
sons to qualify for monthly old age
insurance benefits starting January /,

January, 1888, and received lump
sum money payment to which he was
then entitled under the original plan
of old age insurance. However, he
continued to work at $75 a month.
Can he now qualify for monthly bene-
fits?
A.-Yes. Wages earned on covered
employment after December 81, 1886
and before a person became IS, now
count toward monthly benefits, re-
gardless Of the payment of a lump
sum. After January l, 1889, employ
ment after age 65 also counts toward
benefits. Although the worker in this
case would not get credit for the
wages he earned during the year be-
tween his 65th birthday and January
1, 1889, he would still have enough
wage credits to get monthly benefit
January /, 1910, provided he retired

a lump-sum payment. Then he stop

work in January, 1910, can he gel
monthly benefits?
Ayes. With the wage credit:

day began tearing up six miles of
Northern Pacific railroad tracks

Over this six-mile track during

at many million dollars.
The region served by the tracks
has been the center Of bloody labor

Of the wartime boom and the
