Roy Robertson heard the remark
in the Main street crowd and looked
around at few feet but noticed
nothing strange and proceeded on to

directed at someone who was wear

Back at the store Roy prepared to

High Court Rules
Out Suit To Test
Job Insurance Law

The Minnesota supreme court.
in a unanimous decision handed
down Friday, reversed a district
court decision and ordered dis
missed, a suit questioning the
constitutionality of a provision OF
the 1889 law that exempts en-
ployers with less than eight en-
ployees and doing business i'll
smaller towns, from the payment
of contributions to the states un-
employment compensation fund
The effect Of the decision is to
establish the exemption in the
status it had before the suit was
started.
The case was started when an
employee of an ice company in
Red Wing asked that the 10000
population" exemption be declar-
ed unconstitutional. The district
court upheld that contention, but
the high court held the case had
been improperly brought, because
the plaintiff was not unemployed,
had no claim for benefits and
therefore was not entitled to in
stitute the action.
The exemption, effective jan
uary /, 1910, applies to an esti-
mated 10000 small employers do
ing business in all cities, towns,
villages and boroughs in the state
except Austin, Albert Lea, Brain
erd, Duluth, Fairbault, Hibbing.

Fourth OF Social
Security Applicants
Are Under Age 10
(FOurteenth of a Series)

twenty-five out of every 100
persons who applied for social
security account numbers last
years were boys and girls under
the age of 10. More than two and
a half million workers under age
rs applied for social security ac-
count number in 1888. Over half
of these were men. Few of them
perhaps realized that a social sec
urity account meant future pro-
lection for their families as well
as for themselves. Under the
amended Social Security act, the
old-age and survivors insurance
program provided supplemental
monthly benefits for the aged
wives and minor children of an
nuitants iasd for the survivors of
insured workers.
Young workers under age rs
have received credit on the rec
ords of the Social Security board
for more than 3A billion dollars,
since the old-age insurance pro-
gram first went into operation
January /, 1887.
Each worker in employment
covered by the old-age and sur
vivors insurance system must
have a social security account
number. This number serves to
identify his individual social sec
urity account, in which his earn
ings are recorded by the Social
Security board. That is why it is
important that every worker have
only one account number SO that
he may report the workers earn
ings correctly to the government.
The amount of the monthly
check which a retired wage earn
er will receive will be figured on
the basis of the wage credits in
his social security account. The

DENY NEW TRIAL
IN DEATH CRASH

Sleepy Eye-The death crash at
the railroad crossing on North
Sixth street here April 5 which
claimed the life of Theresa Lang,
Sleepy Eye, and which was the
subject of damage suit last fall,
had another inning in court last
week.
Defendants in the case moved
for court order directing that,
notwithstanding the verdict of the
jury. in favor of the plaintiffs,
that a judgment be entered in
favor of the defendants. This also
included asking for setting aside
of the verdict of the jury and
granting a new trial.
The case was argued in district
court in January before Judge A.
B. Gislason. His order in the
case filed last week denies the
defendants request that action
was clearly jury case, due to
controversial circumstances in
volved.
Attorneys for the Chicago and
North Western railway sought the
new trial, opposed by Pfaender
and Glotzbach of New Ulm and
Davis and Berg of this city.
It was brought out during court
hearings that the firemen of the
oncoming train saw the car ap-
preaching and did little to stop
the train, altough he saw it con-
siderable distance away. 1t was
also pointed out that Sleepy Eye
has an ordinance which limits
trains to six miles an hour speed
at downtown crossings.
In the original trial verdict
of $500 was awarded to Joseph
A. Lang, a special administrator
of the estate, who was plaintiff in
the action.
