Four A. F. Of L. Unions
Win "A. & P. Elections

Cleveland, o. (OLNS).-With the
way opened for contract negotiations
with the Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Co. in the Cleveland area by an
NLRB-conducted election, four Amer
ican Federation of Labor Unions affili-
ated with the Cleveland Food Council
last week prepared to bargain for en-
ployes who chose them as their rep
resentatives.
Winners over the Food Employees
Industrial Union, which sought COM
pany-wide jurisdiction over employees
in the district, were Amalgamated
Meat Cutters Local APT; Bakery
Workers Local 10; Commission House
Drivers Local 400, and Warehouse
Employees Local 1877.
Peter Formica, representative of the
International Association of Retail
Clerks and leader in the Cleveland
Food Council, said his organization
which holds large membership
among Cuyahoga county employees of
the firm, did not participate in the
election but concentrated it's activities
in obtaining "No" votes against the
F. Z. I. U.

housing in America is wrongly ad-
justed to peoples incomes; and the
whole report may well result in great
forward steps in the development of
housing at prices working people can
afford.
"These are only the major points
in which the censuses of 1910 will af-
feet labor; in many other ways the
working man, along with the farmer
and all other groups of the American
people, will benefit from the census
tabulations. But this is ample to
indicate why labor should be inter
ested in the Census, and should CO.
operate to the best of it's ability with
the individual enumerators when they
come to collect the facts. For with
out the full assistance Of the Ameri-
can people, the Census cannot be the
comprehensive and accurate undertak-
ing that Census officials believe it will
be, if everyone cooperates willingly
and completely.

and great part Of the resulting in
crease is the property of the whole
community and of each individual who
makes up the community.
"When, at last, man makes not
even a shoe, but only the twentieth
part of a shoe; and when yet again,
the machine makes the whole shoe,
with scarcely touch from man, then
indeed man is in a sorry plight. The
teamwork and it's product the machine,
giving birth to it, has robbed him of
his independence, his craft, and his
very maintenance, without giving him
anything in return.
"That is the eliminating point Of
injustice.
"It is the eliminating point of alb
surdity, too.
"For though millions of boots pour
from manless machines, they seek in
vain for wearers. Idle men lack
money to buy shoes. And the idle
men multiply ominously. The unem-
ployed today with their dependents
could join hands and reach right
round the coastline of England.

method of production, found himself
pushed on one side, driven away from
the land he had given up, and away
from the machines, whose very exist
ence was made possible by the team
work of the whole community.
"Multitudes of men are suffering,
therefore, in their unemployment, a
grave, even though it is a hidden in
justice.
"Torn from the soil, lured into as
ISOLATION, specialized in their tasks,
they are left helpless unless admitted
to fair share in the fruits which
fall into the laps of the owners of
the community-produced machine, and
of the land made valuable by the
teamwork of the community.
"This point is so important moral
| ly, and l as a minister am so deeply
concerned with moral justice, that l
must make the position clearer by a
simple illustration.
"When man titled his own acre,
leaving others to SOW and reap and
weave, he remained craftsman and
earned his keep. He had, however
lost his power to stand alone. JUS
tice at least demanded that he should
share equitably in the increased out
put.
"When the machine came, enabling
man to produce vastly more, it robbed
him of his craftsman's skill. The ma
chine, however, is the result of men
working together, and of the corpor-
ate enterprise we call science. II

Board will interview account holders
by appointment. Those now eligible
will be contacted Immediately; the
others will be contacted as their eligi-
bility age approaches.
Four Account Holders Groups Have
Most to Gain
"Four groups of account holders
have most to gain through this ac-
tion," said Mr.. Corson.
"Those who have received lump
sum benefits under the old law, and
who expected no further benefits"
"Those who, because of repeated
change Of residence, recent unemploy-
ment or carelessness, have lost touch
with their accounts and might, other
wise, have lost several months bene-
fit through overlooking their rights.
"Those who wish to remain en-
ployed after sixty-fve, but who will
then undertake part-time or lower
paid employment. Though these
workers may not be Immediately elig-
ible for payments they may, by
prompt application, peg their future
monthly benefits to the higher aver
age monthly wage they had before
sixty-five."
"Those who have sometimes failed
to report their Social Security Ac-
count Numbers to their employers
These will have ample opportunity tc
establish their right to added wage
credits and higher benefits"

numbers about 175,000 persons. Elig-
ible workers and dependents in this
group will also be entitled to monthly
benefits Immediately upon their re-
tirement.
"The third group are those who
will reach the age of 65. in the year
1940 and who will become eligible TO,
benefits Immediately upon their re-
tirement. This group also numbers
approximately l75,COO, bringing the
total for whom claims data is now be-
ing prepared to- 52S,575."
Staff in 400 Field Offices Ready to
Assist Eligibles
To facilitate the job of informing
these latter two groups, photostatic
reproductions of the complete wage
records of eligible workers, as report
ed by their employers, and of their
original applications for social Sc
curity accounts have been prepared
The more than 400 field Offices of the
Social Security Board will receive, by
December %, these records for work
ers who have already attained age
G5; the records for those workers who
will attain age 65 in 1910 will be
mailed at monthly intervals during
1940

offices will thepg receive letters re-
questing them to call at such offices
to review their accounts and to learn

themselves maximum benefits. TIC

the nomination, through the wide
powers given the town chairman uii-
der Republican party rules. Protests
against the power given Town Chair

The failure of the Republicans to
poll q heavy vote locally In the state
election balloting last year. plus po-
tential OBJECTIONS because Of the
anti-Perriello campaign on the part
of the COP. leadership, has many
party workers worried. They fear
that even the fondest Republican
hopes this fall may be dissipated be-
cause of the abrupt dismissal being
given the Perrieilo bid.
Dissatisfaction
Added to the dissatisfaction Is the
belief among many Republicans that
Town Chairman Epson favors the
proposed city manager charter.
They felt that the party should take
an outspoken stand against the city
manager plan, In view Of the fact
that the COP. has Its best oppor-
tuiiity In 20 years to gain control
of the city government.
Italian Republican supporters OF
Mr.. Perriello are indignant at the
transpayently obvious political move
Of the party leadership In backing
the candidacy of Anthony Petrillo

is an attempt TO split the Italian
COP. vote, intended to placate
Italian voters on the premise that
two Of the most important places on
the ticket could net be given 10
