MAY FILE CLAIMS FOR
PARTIAL BENEFITS

Lincoln, Neb., July 27-Workers
who are employed part-time in
regular employment may now file
claims for partial benefits under
the Nebraska Unemployment Coin
pensation law according to amend
ments enacted by the last session
of the legislature.
Eligible claimants for total un-
employment benefits will receive
benefits of one-half their most re-
cent full time weekly wage, as un-
der the original law.
Under partial benefit provisions
a worker who earns less than his
benefit amount, that is, less than
one-half his full-time weekly wage,
and who works less than his ac-
cusaomed number of weekly hours,
may file partial benefit claim.
A claimant for partial benefits
must serve a normal two-weeks
waiting period, just as in total un-
empl J merit. However, acording
TO regulations established by the
State Labor Commissioner, his
claim for partial benefits may be
dated back as much as five weeks.
His employer is required to fur
nish a low-earnings report. All
claims for partial benefits are ta-
ken through twenty offices of the
Nebraska State Employment Ser
vice, located at points of heaviest
employment in the state.
Partial benefit claimants are al
lowed to deduct the first three
dollars of earnings. Then the bal
ance of their partial earnings are
deducted from the weekly bene-
fit amount, and the claimants re-
ceive the difference. For exam
pie, worker whose benefit amount
is ten dollars a week, earns sew
en- dollars in partial regular en-
ployment. He is allowed the first
three ckllars of earnings. The
balance Of his earnings, namely
four dollars, is deducted from his
total benefit amount of ten dollars
and he receives benefit check For
partial unemployment of six dol
lars.
Partial benefits were introduced
10 give the unemployed worker an
incentive to seek partial employ
ment until a steady job is found
for him. Part-total benefits are
allowed for part-time employment
in odd jobs or subsidiary employ
ment, other than regular work.

Social Security Board Invites Workers
to Learn Status of Old Age Insurance
Accounts
Accounts

With the posting of its millions
of old age insurance accounts com
pleted for 1888, the Social Secur-
ity Board today announced than
any worker may now obtain a
statement showing the amount of
wages credited to his account up
to January l, 1889.
1t was emphasized that the
statements showing the status of
a workers account will be sent to
any applicant, regardless of the
time he was employed or the a
mount of wages hereceived.
A year ago the Board adopted
the policy of making wage infor-
nation available as soon as ac-
counts are posted. Although en-
ployers report the wages of their
employees every 3 months, the
posting of the wage items is de-
layed, for reasons of economy, un-
til all wage reports for the year
have been received.
For the convenience of wage
earners who ask for statements.
the Bureau Oh old1Age Insur-
ance has sent TO all the Biard's
field Offices post cards carrying
the request for a wage statement.
Space is left on the card for the
applicants to write in his name &C
count number and address. This
card should be mailed to the Bu-
reau of Old-Age Insurance, Social
Security Board, Gambler Building,
Baltimore, Maryland. A worker
may obtain this form from any of
the field offices by telephone, let

ers with an opportunity to obtain

CI0 Wins sweep
ing vitiorY Over GIN.

DETROIT. - (FP) - Seven thou
sand General Motors Corp. workers,
members of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO), ended their month
old strike in a sweeping victory
Aug. 5.
The pact, which was signed by
union and corporation officials after
being ratified by the strikers, marked
the first time G. M. has signed a
corporation-wide agreement en-
bodying wage scales. It was also
the first time G. M. acknowledged
sole bargaining rights in direct writ
ten contract with any union.
The agreement gives the JAW
CLIO sole bargaining rights in AZ of
the corporations SO plants and in
creases minimum wage scales by Is
cents an hour in some cases. The
settlement unquestionably estab-
fishes the UAW-CIO as the only
functioning union in the auto in
dustry.
The contract calls for double time
for Sunday and holiday work and
permits use of the union label on
tools and machinery bought from
union suppliers. Production work
ers, who we're not called on strike,
will benefit from the pact when a
new agreement is negotiated for
them.
Strikers returned to work without
discrimination although in some
plants superintendent who tried re-
prisals had to be overruled by the
G. M. management.
Another gain was the solidarity
the strike brought about between
AFL and CLIO rank-and-filers, which
was cemented by the persistent re-
fusal of AFL building tradesmen,
metal tradesmen and teamsters to go
through the CLIO picket lines.
The UAW-CIO guaranteed that
all ALL jobs would be protected
and restored to those who revolted
against acting as strikebreakers. The
solidarity was regarded as a good
symptom for labor unity in Detroit,
Cleveland, Pontiac, Flint and Sagi-
nav. Attempts by police in several
of these cities to provoke violence
was baked by the power and disci-
pline of pickets, who kept their lines
intact in most instances.
Established in G. NJ, the unions
next task is winning labor board
elections for sole bargaining rights
in Chrysler, Briggs, Packard and
Motor Products plants, all scheduled
to take place in the next 5 or 6
weeks.

BY A. F. of L. Weekly News Service.

Strong support of government financial aid in developing an adequate
health service for the urban and rural masses of the United States was
voiced by Matthew Vol, 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
introduced in the Senate by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York.
The purpose of the Wagner Bill is ito 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 serv-
ices construction and maintenance of needed hospitals and health centers
care of the sick, disability insurance, and training of personnel For grants
to the states and administration the bill authorizes an appropriation of
S95,250O00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916.
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 because of their small earnings and the
urgent necessity for aid from the United States government to remedy
these conditions, Mr.. Vol said, in part:
mo 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
medical care but the temporary or permanent loss of job and income.
Inability to pay for adequate medical care has often meant permanent
undermining of heath-and therefore loss Of earning capacity. Life it.

MR. HOPKINS
DECLARES PEACE
Wall Street JournaD

In view of the record of the past six
years, one might be permitted a reason
able amount of skepticism concerning
Harry Hopkins presentation of the Ad
ministration attitude. But Mr.. Hopkins
speech is not the only evidence that the
administration is now prepared to trim
its cloth to the measure of the temper
of the times, and for that reason it should
be taken at its face value-at least for
today.
While it may be true that there is no
No. 2 man in this administration, and
that it is to Mr. Roosevelt alone that we
must look for actual determination and
policies, it is obvious that Mr.. Hopkins
is as near to the President as is anyone
in the country. Too, his maiden speech
as a cabinet member would hardly have
reflected views which were exclusively
his own, pronounced without certainty
that they also reflected the views of the
President.
True, Mr. Hopkins only defined the
general outlines of future policy He did
not state specifically what measures
would be taken to encourage the further
extension of peace in the utility industry,
nor did he outline how taxation would be
altered TO prevent the IreeZlng OF cap
ital He did not say how prolonged labor
conflict can be amelorated by govern
mental action; he failed, also, to say
just how the railroad problem should
be explored to the end that practical
results may eventuate. But each of these
statements promised at least a sympa-
thetic attitude toward concrete problems
of the day-toward, respectively, a def
milton of the boundaries of future gov
ernmental power development, Of further
revision Of the capital gains tax, of modi-
fication of the Wagner Act of early
action on means of taking steps TO sim
plify and coordinate the railroads. If
speedy and sensible action is taken on
these four problems alone, business will
have every reason to feel that Secretary
Hopkins was not an idle prophet when
he stated that from now on:
With the emphasis shifting from re-
form to recovery this Administration is
now determined to promote that recovery
with all the force at its command.
