QUALIFICATIONS FOR INSURANCE PAYMENTS


count when earned after age 65 as
we'll as before.
To qualify for monthly old-age in
surance payments, or in other words,
to be fully insured" a worker must
have had not less than / quarter of
coverage for each quarters during
the time after 1886 and before the
quarter in which he is 65 or dies, if
death occurs earlier. If he reached
age 81 after the first of January, 1887,
he starts counting with the quarter
after his 21st birthday. In any case,
he must have had at least 6 quarters
Of coverage. Once he has 40 quarters
Of coverage, he is qualified as long as
he lives.
Even though a worker may not be
fully insured, insurance payments
may nevertheless be made at his death
to his children and to his widow, no
matter what her age, if she is caring
for the children. This is possible
when the worker has had quarters of
coverage, provided these quarters
came in the years before his death.
In such case, the worker is considered
to be currently insured"

U. S. Defends Decision
In Bdtd Shoe Co. Case

Washington, D. C.-The petition of
the Bata Shoe Company for an in
junction to restrain the Labor Depart
ment from effecting the dismissal of
AZ Czech shoe workers employed by
the company as instructors at it's plant
in Belcamp, Md, came before the Fed
eral District Court here with Labor
Department attorneys contending that
the court had no jurisdiction over the
case which involved revocation Of Wis
itors' working permits for the Czechs
employed by the company as instruc-
tors. The Cover ment declared Z
one year permits were originIsun
issued because the economy insisted
the work be done by the instructors
could not be done by unemployed
American craftsmen, but a Labor De-
partment investigation subsequently
showed American workmen were suit
able.

Berle Warns Agdinst
Low Wages In South

Atlanta, Cain an address at the
closing session of the Southern Cath
olic Conference for Social Action here
Adolf Berle, Assistant Secretary of
State, warned the South against "an
industrial expansion on an artificial
sectional basis"
"This section of the country" he
said, SHOULD profit by costly mistakes
of other regions in the transition from
agriculture to industrialization. There
are many perils involved in attract
ing manufacturers with promise of
lower costs because of lower living
standards. The minute you try to
compete in standards of living the
danger is not that you will lose but
that you will win and thus eventually
force down the market for your pro-
ducts. 1t can't be otherwise"

BOOT AND SHOE WORKERS
UNION STAMP

The Boot and Shoe Workers
Union adopted it's Union Stamp,
which appears above, in 1895. The
popularity of this emblem is proven
by the fact that it is stamped in
the highest quality of shoes on the
market.
Shoes are lot Union-made un-
less they bear plain and distinct
impression of this Stamp. Merely
the words "union-made" or indis-
tinct prints are likely to be coun-
terfeit. Demand the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union Stamp in all
footwear.
