WASHINGTON - The old folks
are going to get a break at this
session of congress. The only ques-
ton is who gives it to them and
how big it is
On the one hand the admins
tration wants to liberalize the So
cial security act. II aims TO hand
out more money and hand IT out
to more people.
On the other hand, various free
lance senators and representatives
are offering everything from the
original Townsend plan down to
relatively mild changes in the ex-
listing law.
All of these trends operate on
one another. Out of them, in one
vi" or another, will come help
for the aged on a broader base.
The administration wants TO
make more people eligible for old
age insurance -- that's what you
pay for in salary deductions each
week-and wants to change the
old age benefit plan 40 that more
federal money can go TO states
unable to maintain pensions at a
decent level,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-02-01

in the direction of an easier and
more secure old age for the coun-
try's citizens.

"Oh, l see," Gene said, with the heavy
calm of complete despair. "Oh, see."
He went slowly out of the garage, head
bent, and walked along in a sort of stupor
until he came to the florist shop on the cor
ner. He hesitated for a second and then
plunged through the doorway.
Listen" he began Listen want - it's
kind of funny. but it's kind of to pay a bet,
see-I want - we'll -

spools of silver ribbon. would you like a

The florist paused uncertainty with the
single gaudy blossom in his hand.
"Oh! Put it in bag, won't you?"
bag? But wouldn't box, perhaps -"
Il don't care! Bag - box - just 50 don't
have to carry the fool thing"
He sided nervously out of the shop and,
at the nearest newsstand, bought magazine
to conceal the box that was 50 unmistakably
a florists box. He approached the station
with considerable caution, looking frequently
from right to left. There was grave risk,
now. of running into somebody he knew -
with ten minutes to wait for Kathryn Ormsby's
train

around the corner of telephone booth. The
porters ran forward as Gene Walton, perspir-
ing, savagely wrested wilted yellow rose
from a tangle of paper and string and card
board He thrust this flower into his lapel and
moved slowly towards the track
He saw the other yellow rose almost at
once. He saw, Also that Kathryn Ormsby was
even worse than he had thought she was going
to be. She was nice girl, of course - bub-
bling over with wholesome fun. She looked
warm but exuberant in printed silk dress.
There was nothing the matter with her -
except that she was completely lacking in
whatever it takes to please a man. But she
was mercifully unaware of this lack.
There you are!" she cried pouncing on
Gene delightedly Isn't it marvellous? Wasn't
that rose bright idea? Oh, my, it's so hot
everything sticking to me- But m 50 thrilled
- we've got six whole hours! Isn't that just
absolutely too marvellous"
"Sure," he said, with feeble smile. "Sre
- that's SWELL" He had removed the yellow
rose and let it fall from his hand to the plat

with his foot.
well, now," she demanded, gaily What
are we going to do?"
He was ready for that: Il think it would be
good idea if we went to movie. A good old
air-cooled movie"
She looked doubtful. She wanted, it seemed,

to see what a small town was like But he
continued to press the advantages of movie
He spoke urgently, persuasively, almost des-
perately She yielded at last After all, she
admitted, they d still have three hours to ex-
plore the town afterwards.
That thought poisoned his triumph. 1t took
all repose away from the blessed three hours
of safety. For it was, at least, comparatively
safe in the COOL dim palace of the double
feature And whenever Gene fancied he saw
some one he knew coming down the aisle, he
could slump to the end of his spine and pre-
tend to be studying the movie program in the
semi-darkness -.
But this" Kathryn announced, at last,
lis where we came in."
1T was swell picture" he said wistfully.
MAYBE you'd like to see it over again This
is such NICE air-oooled -
why, no!' she cut in, rather tartly. why,
no! You must be crazier about the movies
than anybody ever heard of! But l don't
want to spend my entire time here"
Gene rose and followed his companion out
of the theater in the bright glaring light of
and down the street.
"Well!' declared Kathryn. in her loud
hearty voice We'll, if this isn't the crazy lit
tie place! If this isn't the cutest crazest little
place l ever saw"
"Oh, don't know" he said. "Of course
it S kind of quiet right now but you take it
anywhere around nine or ten clock -"
Simply cute! Simply too cute and crazy
for words!''
"Oh, we'll, havei it your own way, he toldher,
with slight edge of annoyance. But when
place has population of maybe twenty-three
or twenty-four thousand people -"
"Oh, but that's s just it! You don't know -
but you take twenty-four thousand people
and you put them in the subway and you
wouldn't know they we're there! Absolutely
you wouldn't know they we're there"
There wasn't anything to answer. He
ploughed along despairingly. She was wearing
a peculiar hat with metal thing sticking up
on it like feather that bobbed with every
step - and after while he began to feel as if
it were his feather, to be pointed out in con-
nection with him. 1t was becoming torturing
obsession.
She was still talking. Once in while she
broke off to laugh - over some witticism of
her own - and on these occasions she laughed
so hard she lost her balance and lurched
against his arm Before long he began to
imagine that all the people on the street were
pausing to stare at them in open amusement

Trade UniOniSm Protects the Pay
Envelope

Anti-union employers and the journalistic
hirelings often break out with allegations
that working men and women do not realize
tangible benefits from their membership in
unions affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Included in the more tangible
benefits of trade union organization is the
wage protection which unions give their
members. The extent of this protection is
visualized in the current issue of the Monthly
Survey of Business of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in a discussion Of wages during
recent months. The Survey says:
Strong trade unions have maintained
wages during the 1888 recession, SO that in
industry as a whole there were only small
declines. Wage increases this spring have
brought workers hourly earnings almost
back to the 1887 high point. In 1887, earn
ings of factory workers reached an average
of 6615 cents per hour in the last quarter;
the 1888 recessions reduced this to 1914 cents
in the third quarter, but by the first half Of
1899 earnings were back to 65 cents per hour.
Wage cuts this year are giving place to wage
increases. In 1888 cuts were reported affect
ing $1,000 of the 100000 factory workers
covered by Labor Department records. Re
ports in 1889 to April showed less than 5000
receiving cuts and 10000 receiving in
creases."

On July II, at 8 o'clock, three

we're workers on that project. These
three delegates discussed the situa-

and all were in favor of striking in
protest against the conditions Of the
new WPA bill.
All men on the project were or

Colonel said, 81 presume you are
going to strike" and the men said,

men was then taken.
The Colonel read military regula-
tons and informed the men that
they were subject to six months inn
prisonment and a $500 fine if they
did not abide by the regulations
After the reading Of the regulations
he called the guard house and asked
