Would Reorgonize
Committee 1o1ux
Labor DispIocers
Worker Deserves Share In
Profits of Machinery
Says Q. G. So

Sebring, GA few years ago it
was the writer's privilege, along with
Brothers Larry Finlay, Thomas Cart
wright, Tim Desmond, Robert Walker,
Paul Van Fossan, Charles Jordan,
Ben Jones and other worthy members
of our organization to be a member
Of the committee on taxation of labor
saving devices, sponsored by the Natl
onal Brotherhood Through the eff
forts of this committee good progress
was made in promoting the idea. In
fact, a number of national labor or
ganizations were very much interested
and gave their support to the move
ment. Five or six congressman and
senators thought it worthy of their
support.
If at that time these organizations
and individuals could have seen the
danger to labor, through the intro
duction of these labor saving devices,
it should be hundred times clearer to
them at present. The question of
labor saving machinery and devices
is becoming more serious and should
be given consideration and thought by
members of our organization.
In the writer's opinion, it is not
enough to simply introduce this res
oluton to the A. f. of l.. convention,
which was ably done by our delegates,
then sit tight and await results. What
is needed is another committee to get
behind this movement and sell it to
the American workers, educating
them to the fact that the machine in
itself is not harmful, but it is in the
distribution of the product of the ma
chine that the harm is done.
There is no sensible reason why the
workers who helped in the creation
of an industry such as ours should not
benefit equally with the owner in the
profits derived from such machinery.
We have older members who have
spent their entire lives and invested
everything they have in the industry,
who are now unable to compete with
the younger men in other fields Of la
bor What is to become of these
members when displaced by ma
chinery? Are they simply to be cast
off as useless material, or thrown in
to the human scrap heap and forgot
ten, treated as paupers and compelled
to depend upon charity for their exist
ence, simply because through greed
for profits there is no market for
their labor?
Are we going to stand idly by and
let this go on without protest? | do
not believe we will. In my 28 years
in the Brotherhood, | have found that
we have very capable men who have
not forgotten the lessons learned at
their mothers knee and are aware of
the fact that they are their brothers

Duffy BowIers Now
Building Character
Take 278-Pin Ldcing From
Salem BoYs-But Edge
Ford City

The Duffy Terrors, scourge of the
East Liverpool alleys, could do no
better than break even in their last
two trips to the hardwood here. AL
most two weeks ago Ford City was
taken into camp by sixty pins with
Buchheit leading the locals with a
$40, but taking second money behind
Michen who posted a 52S for the Penn
sylvanians.
Come last Tuesday night, however,
the Duffy's looked bad indeed as Salem
rolled over them with 27S pins to
spare. Shinn and Hull for the victors
liked the Liverpool hardwood and put
on as pretty an exhibition as the To-
calls had seen in some time, both hit
ting over 600. Wilson turned in a 566
but had to be content with fourth
place as Scullion from Salem gave his
team the three high men by rolling
57l.

Sixth Birthday
East Palestine Unit Has Had
But Three Heads In
Six Years

East Palestine, Ohio.-Local Union
No. 1856 will see it's sixth birthday
roll around on April S. The members
glow with pride from the fine progress
the local is making.
Many members have come and
gone; some have left by transfer, a
few have left the trade, number
have been suspended, and one member
has gone to the eternal resting place,
but still we push on.
The presidents chair has been filled
by only three members, Brothers
Harry Vile, George Schreckengost
and Roy Harding who is now in Of
flee. We have had two strikes in
the past six years. The local has
brought about better working condi-
tions and higher wages, also more
brotherly feeling among it's members.
We are glad to see Brother Archie
Lipp is able to be about since his ten
day encounter with those nice nurses
at the Salem City hospital. Hope he
will soon be able to return to work.
Robert Beck was suspended at our
regular meeting Monday night. Eight
new members were taken into the To-
cal and another group just as large
will be taken in next meeting night.

Information On
Social Security

Specimen social security account
cards placed in billfolds by manu-
facturer, to indicate the space pro-
vided for the employees official card,
have been mistaken for the real thing
by some employees, according to Glenn
II. Pittenger, manager of the Social
Security Board office at Youngstown,
Ohio. He added that in the future
specimen cards used by this manu-
facturer will not include a number.
Mr.. Pittenger said the Board re-
Gently found among employers wage
reports number Of employees listed
with the same social security num-
Der. This number had been issued by
the Social Security Board to woman
in Lockport, New York. Upon investi-
cation, the Board learned that the
other employees who were using the
number had purchased billfolds con-
tanning specimen social security cards
with this number printed on them.
Not realizing that each employe must
have a separate number assigned by
the Social Security Board, these en-
ployes had reported the number on
the specimen card to their employers.
This situation was called to the at
tention of the manufacturer of the
billfolds, Mr.. Pittenger said, and he
very gladly agreed to discontinue use
of number on the specimen cards.
Mr.. Pittenger explained that the
employer is required to report each
employees account number when he
reports his wages. This number is
the one under which the Board keeps
the employees wage record. To insure
that his wages are always correctly
credited to his account, each employe
should be sure that his employer has
the number assigned to him by the
Social Security Board.

the AFL affiliate and only four
against. In Cincinnati, the vote was
27 for the AF'L and six against. In
Alexandria the AFL union won by a

Tax Exempt Provision
Ended For Baby Bonds

The United States Treasury an
nounces that income from baby bonds
issued after March l will not be ex-

action Of Congress in raising the Fed
eral debt limit from $4,000, 100000
to $65, 100000 ,0CO and authorizing the
Treasury to issue wholly taxable Sc
curities.
Under the new regulation the in
come from baby bonds issued after
March l will be subject to the same
Federal taxation as income from pri-
vate securities. Income from baby
bonds is realized and consequently
taxable, only when they mature or
are sold back to the Government.
