SOCIAL SECURITY AND THE
NEW JOB

Old age and survivors insurance
protection for the families of work
ers has been in effect only since Jam
uary /, 1910. If an insured worker
has died since that date and left I'M
married children under IS years of
age, benefits are provided for the
children and for the widow, if she
has the children in her care.
In claiming benefits for the child
rem it is necessary to furnish their
birth certificates or some proof of
their ages, since they are not en-
titled to benefits after they reach IS
vars of age or after 16 if they are
not attending school. A widow who
has young children in her care is en-
titled to benefits no matter what her
age. Therefore she does not have
to furnish proof of her age She
must, however, have her wedding
certificate or some other proof of
her marriage to the insured worker.
Benefits are also provided for
widows past IS. When they. claim
benefits, they must furnish proof of
age as well as proof of their mar
riage to the insured worker.
In any case where a claim for
benefits is filed, delay can be avoid
ed If the required proofs are OBJ
tanned beforehand. Any Social Secur-
ity Office will assist the claimant in
fling a claim and advise how the
necessary proofs can be obtained.

TUBERCULOSIS EDUCATIONAL
CAMPAIGN

Baltimore City and Baltimore
County is sprinkled with tuberculos-
is posters and pamphlets.
This is part of the educational
campaign conducted by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association to
further acquaint everyone with the
facts about the disease. This year
the Association was aided by the
Girl Scout Council of Baltimore City
and Baltimore County, as each of it's
200 troops distributed this material.
"Our educational work goes on
all year., said William B. Matthews,
Managing Director of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association. However,
during the month of April, we call
attention to the Importance of the
early discovery of this disease. Early
discovery means early recovery, Mr..
Matthews continued. The tragedy
lies in the fact that 8 out of 10 pa
tents entering the sanatorium are
in the far advanced stages of tu-
berculosis, thereby making cure a
long and tedious task.
This month, throughout the
state, we wish to impress upon every
one that the White Plague can be
cured and prevented, Mr.. Matthews
concluded.
The Association also announced
that the observance of National
Negro Health Week, celebrated in
the counties during the first week of
April, had been a success and that
plans were now under way to coop
crate with the Negro Health Week
Committee of Baltimore City, which
will hold it's observance during the
week of April 10th.

FIREWORKS MEASURE AMONG
1Os SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
0B Special Taxes and Obsolete Laws
Repealed--More Scheduled For
Action Wednesday


RepeaIed-More Scheduled For
Action Wednesday
The long-discussed measure pro-
hibiting the indiscriminate use and
sale of fireworks, as well as some
38 other bills repeating various
special taxes and obsolete laws, were
among 1913 measures enacted into
law last week by Gov. Herbert X.
O'Conor.
Commenting upon the fireworks
bill, in connection with the signing
of which the Maryland Society for
the Prevention of Blindness had ar
ranged special ceremonies, Cover
nor O'Conor declared:
ct derived much satisfaction from
giving executive approval to House
Bill No. 20, thus enacting into law
the measure prohibiting the indis-
criminate use and sale of fireworks.
"It was because l felt that the in
terest of the public, particularly that
of little children, demanded this re-
striction that l placed the admins
tration squarely behind the Fire
works Bill, and actively supported 1T
in the Legislature. AS result OF its
passage, / feel certain that serious
accidents marring the sight, and
even jeopardizing the lives of child
rem, will be reduced.
"The unfavorable report by the
81
phasizing the great increase in Bal
timore City of accidents causing
blindness, was such as to challenge
the attention of us ALL The humani-
tartan aspect of this entire situa-
ton was most appealing, and it is
source of qualification that the
twenty year fight to bring about
this needed legislation has now been
successful.
"The simple truth is that all the
enjoyment and pleasure, which the
people could expect, can be had
under the terms of the bill, because
the supervised use of fireworks is
permitted. But, fortunately, proper
restrictions surround the use and
sale of fireworks, and as result
the lives and safety, and the sight
of our people will be better pro-
tected''.
Mr.. John w. Avirett, ii, President
of the Association, and Francis F.
Symington, Chairman of the Fire
works Act Committee, responded on
behalf of the Association for the
Prevention of Blindness.
Many local measures affecting
various counties were included in
the bills signed by Governor Herbert
O'Conor. Further action upon some
of the 500 bills remaining will be
taken Wednesday morning, in
the presence of the presiding officers
of the Senate and House, and the
Chief Clerks of the two bodies.

Even in these days when talk OF
stratospheric sums is commonplace
statistics relating to the life insur-
ance industry are staggering to the
imagination.
During the last year, for instance
life insurance companies paid Amer
ican families an average of more
than $7,O0O,00O each and every day
The assets behind the nations life
insurance policies now total more
than $30,000,O00.0 0O--about as
much as we plan to spend over q
period Of years for defense.
Those figures mean that we Amer
leans have far greater economic
protection than any other people in
the world.

THE PUBLIC is OPPOSED TO
STRIKES
]. E. Jones

Washington, April 14--A few
weeks ago most strikes were too Of
ten only part of mad race of two
big unions for more members and
the national emergency furnished
opportunities to fight out old dis
putes for supremacy. Government
and State officials engaged in watch
full waiting.
But the strike epidemic soon in
terfered with National Defense. 1t
apparently paralyzed the National
Labor Relations Board, thwarted the
good intentions and efforts of Gov
eminent conciliators, and began to
wear down the patience of the Pres
ident, Congress and the American
public.
The sitdown strikes of few
year sage demonstrated that groups
of workers with real or imaginary
grievances didn't run risks when
they took the law in their own
hands. Unfortunately too many
strike leaders seem to think they
Cdu mohC LhO O1o SnnC WI A. MI In
es in Chicago, Milwaukee, Pennsyl-
vania, California, New Jersey, Mich
igan, Indiana, New York, Ohio and
other parts of the country have been
watched with disfavor by the public.
The War Department has pointed out
that in three months there had been
idleness directly chargeable to
strikes amounting to more than l.
059,791 man-days and that the
total ratio of idleness attributable
to strikes was daily increasing. A
report from the Office of Production
Management to Congress shows that
in 70 defense strikes AZ strikes in
volved directly, or in part, union
recognition. Meantime, strikes have
increased.
The President recently appointed
an 11-member National Defense Me-
diation Board. Defiance arose in the
strike regions when Secretary of the
Navy Knox and OPM Director Knud-
sen demanded immediate reopening
of plant that had been shut down
"a days. In the meantime sort of
smear campaign started against the
Mediation Board, and noisy chal-
lengers claimed that sit won't work"
At this point the Secretary of Labor
certified some of the disputes to
the Mediation Board, and proposals
were brought UP in Congress to give
the Board clear authority to end
strikes. President Roosevelt indi-
Gated that workers should show
cause before going on strike. Letters
began to reach Senators and Con-
gressmen, and their contens backed
up the Gallup Poll, which showed
that nearly three-fourths of the
public believed certain labor lead
ers were racketeering at the ex-
pense of their members and the pub
lie in general.
The workers, themselves, have
usually assumed the pose that they
were merely standing up for our
side, like good Elks at a feast;
without intent to hamper their own
Government. The President upon re-
turning from Florida, backed uI
the Mediation Board and demanded
that it be given chance to demon
strate whether it could bring order
out of chaos.
The Washington Post says that
the strikes are actually against the
Government. Mr.. Meyer was recent
ly named as member of the Media
ton Board, and the editorial posi-
ton stated in his newspaper repre-
sents the general sentiment in off,
cial circles at the National Capital

The tradition holds that any

get another. Now I have six head
of children and no husband and I
would appreciate anything you
might tell me
Ans: Indeed you need work and
soon too. Register at all the agen-
cies this very week. Run an ad in
the paper too. Make a number OF
personal contacts around the vari-
Gus places that you have worked,
and / feel sure you will have some
thing to do within the next ten
days or so. Get out and search
diligently for a job.
l.. S.-This boy friend 1 have
loves me very much and wants to
marry me anytime that I say the
word. Now I have my doubt if
this would be the thing to do.
Please help me?
Ans: You are sensible. This bov
couldn't look out after you when
he only works two days week. In
tact, he doesn't make any more
than il takes for him to get by.
Tell him before you can possibly
consent to getting married, he must
DC working regularly.
d. M.-My husband and l have
been married for seven years and it
has been struggle. The last siy
months pretty bad. Tell me if we
Will continue in this rut?
Ans: No. &. not since Won both
are working. The thing to do is to
learn to live Cheaply and economize
SO that you can get by with less
expense. Your husband will be
willing to help you cut expenses
until you get on your feet. This
year is going to bring about a
change.

tor and he hasn't done her a bit
OF good. Tell me am l right about
her being fixed by someone? Can
you send her something?
Ans: The doctor hasn't had a
chance to get your wife well. She
must stay under his care and be
treated for the pain in her side
In all probability a change for the
better will take place soon if you
cooperate with the doctor III
charge. No one has hurt your wife
and you should not be giving her
any medicine that the doctor
doesn't prescribe.
NJ. A. H.-My husband has been
running around with women for
quite awhile, how long will this
continue?
Ans: / honestly feel that Il
change is going to take place in
your husband. he has just about
played himself ont. It's more OF
less natural for a man to reacl,
out for one last fling before he ad-
nlitS he Is old and this seems
to be what your husband has done.

Ans: Yes. -. it would be very
nice. Right now it is rather, diff
cult for him to do his share. but

to rent out his farm and come in

this be the best thing for him?
Ans: Yes, it will. He has maze
up his mind to take the job that
was offered him a few weeks back
and he can't take it if he lives in
the country. Do everything that
you can to make him comfortable
while he is with you and be sure
to invite his wife to come too. They
will probably buy them a place in
the city before very long.

Quilt and Pad Go.
 Pays Fine of $75O

David H. Levine, president of the New Haven Quilt & Pad Company, has dropped his company's appeal from the conviction and fine of $750 in the City Court on 24 counts of violation of the Municipal Building Code. The violations occurred after the fire in the Quilt & Pad plant of February 5, fatal to ten men.
 Judge Joseph Weiner of the City Court convicted Levine mainly on the testimony of Henry c. Falsey, Build ing Inspector, who stated that Levine had proceeded with non-fre proof construction in the damaged plant in spite of specific orders and repeated warnings on the part of the building inspector that freproof construction was demanded.
 Construction was in the plant that had been partially damaged in the fatal fire of February 5. Coroner James J. Corrigan has exonerated the owners of the plant of criminal negligence in the deaths of the ten employees, while admitting that violations of the Build ing Code had occurred.

1,4OO Drivers
 Mechanics Out

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-Buses of the Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines were tied up May 4 by a strike of 1,4OO drivers, mechanics and terminal en- ployes. The walkout was called by the Ama1gamated Association of Street Electric Railway & Motor Coach Employees (AFL), following six weeks of fruitless negotiations.
 On May 5, union and company officials conferred in Washington with Dr. John R. Steelman, head of the U. s. conciliation service, in an at- tempt to reach settlement.
 The union is seeking wage increases, shorter hours and a closed shop. The demand for higher wages is justified in view of rising living costs, said Samuel B. Berrong, member of the union executive board. He said the company made a profit of $1,2OOOOO last year.
 Tickets, many of them in their drivers uniforms marched in front of bus stations in the various cities served by the struck line.
