THERE ARE few principles in

And then trouble starts. Why does
the baby do it? Heaven knows. One
who was old enough To understand
the question replied, IL didn't know
any other place to put it," Which
is about as good an answer as
any.
While it is usually babies who
stuff foreign bodies in the ear, the
practice is by no means confined
20 them. Some show-oif starts TO
impress his girl at n party and
before you know it he has small
button in mis- cXtcrnal auditory
canal.
The situation is n serious one
and requires a doctor to handle
1t. Clumsy efforts of parents or
friends often result in simply
pushing the foreign body further
into the ear, getting it wcdgcd
there, and even pcrforating the
drum. One of the worst things to
do is TO squirt water into the ear
with the idea OF washing out the
invader. In the case of 4 pea or
bean or seed the water simply
makes the object swell IN and get
tighter stuck than ever. One ear
specialist instIlls alcohol in such
cases in order 10 shrink the vcge-
table matter.
. Removing Foreign Body
Even with the aid Of an otoscope
with which he can look in the ear
and with light see the whole sit
uation, a doctor may not be able
to get out the foreign body immc-
dIately. 1t causes an inflammation
of the skin which is brought on
also, by the way, by the clumsy at
tcmpts of the layman aforcmcn-
toned and the ear swclls up. tight
enins its grip on the object. 1t may

bill? Every worker who breads the
loss of his job at any time in the fu-
ture and fears the onset of old age for
which he has been able to make no
ample provision.
Every mother who has been forced
to count pennies before deciding
whether she can afford to send for a
doctor to administer to her sick child
will support this bill because it pro-
vides health insurance and hospitali-
zation care for all members of the
family
Millions of agricultural workers,
domestic servants and self-employed
persons who are not now covered by
any phase of social security will fight
for this bill because for the first time
it provides protection for them as well
as all other American citizens.
Working women who can't afford to
have children now because of the
medical costs and loss of income will
appreciate the maternity insurance
provided in the Wagner-Dingell Bill.
Every American soldier, sailor and
marine who is risking his life against
the enemy will want this bill passed
1t obllgates our country to provide
compensation for unemployed ex-sol
diers after the war and to pay disabil-
lty insurance to those who have been
injured. The families of these boys,
troubled by the failure of our Govern
ment to take any steps in their behalf,
also will demand favorable action on

PENN. PAYROLLS STILL RISE

Philadelphia (ILNS). Employ
ment in P ennsylvania factories
showed no material change from
March to April, continuing to exceed
100000 workers for the fifth con-
secutive month, but payrolls rose l
percent to new high of over $40
million week, the Federal Reserve
Bank Of Philadelphia reports. The
number of wage earners was 5 per-
cent larger than year ago, and the
volume of wage payments one-fourth
greater. Total working time was
slightly up from March and IL per-
cent above April, 1912.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-06-11

higher taxes. But the bill does not in
crease the tax on employers. They will
have to pay per cent on payrolls.
Under the present law they would
have to do that by 1949 anyway. The
bill does double the tax on workers by
bringing it up to 6 percent of weekly
wages, but we doubt if any worker
will be heard to complain. The bene-
fits provided by the bill are so great
as to make the cost cheap to every
worker and employer
So we expect that the Wagner
Dingell Bill will become law-event-
ually. 1t would be too optimistic to
expect t it's immediate enactment.
There probably will have to be an in
terval for public education as to the
provisions of the bill before we can
get the ball rolling.
To that end, we propose to devote
the space usually occupied by this
column in the next 13 weeks to a SER
les of articles by the Social Security
Committee of the AFL explaining the
purposes and provisions of the Veg
ner-Dingell Bill. We urge all labor
publications to print these articles. At
the same time we appeal to all labor
organizations in the country to mo-
bilze their entire political strength in
support Of the Wagner-Dingell Bill.

FACING
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

No more important piece of legisla-
ton ever was offered in Congress than
the new Wagner -Dingell Social Secur-
ity Amendments which incorporate
the detectives of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and leaders of public
life, regardless of political affiliations.
This bill is dynamite - dynamite
which will explode in the face of any
selfish, petty or reactionary group or
individual who dares to oppose it.
We say this under the assumption
that every intelligent American citi-
zen wants a national insurance system
that will put an end to destitution in
our country, guard the health and
safety of our people and compensate
the boys now serving in our armed
forces for physical injuries and post
war unemployment.
These are some of the major OBJ
jectives of the Wagner-Dingell Bill,
a measure which does not represent
somebody's sudden bright idea but is
the result of five years of the most
careful study by experts on the staff
of the American Federation of Labor
and the Social Security Board.

bill which creates a single, unified and
national insurance system.
Then, it may be possible that a few
moss-backs in the medical profession,
who oppose socialized medicine re-
gardless of the benefit to the people as
whole, may start protesting even
though the bill protects the individ-
ual's choice of physician and seeks to
uplift the standards Of medical
treatment.

airy groups may set up howl against

UNION WINS PACT
WITH CLOAK
INDUSTRY
FOR WORKERS

New York City (ILNS).-The first
industry-wide agreement under Wnlch
an industry as such takes the respon-
sibility of providing old age pensions
for it's employees has been signed by
the Cloakmakers Union, an lnterna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union affiliate and three organiza-
tions of employers.
The Industrial Council of Cloak and
Suit Manufacturers, the Merchants
Ladies' Garment Association and the
Infants and Children's Coat Associa-
tion signed the agreement, which eX-
tended for years the contract ex-
piring May 81.
Under the old-age retirement plan
of the agreement, the manufacturers
will contribute 3 percent of their
weekly payrolls to fund to provide
pensions for workers who have
reached the age of IS or over and wish
to retire. The total annual amount to
be contributed by the employers will
be about $2,OO0,000. Israel Feinberg,
general manager of the Cloakmakers'
Union said that about 5000 workers
would be eligible for retirement in
the next few years. Each will receive
$500 year.
Commission To Be Set Up
The retirement fund will be admin
istered by commission to consist of
an equal number of representatives of
employers and employees with three
additional members representing the
public, to be chosen by the employer
associations and by the union.
The employers contributions to the
fund will begin Jan. /, 1914. The fund
will begin functioning within three
years, as soon as a specified reserve
fund is accumulated.
Creation of the pension fund
marked the only major addition to
the contract, except for clause pro-
viding for readjustment Of wages in
the event of further increases in the
cost of living or change in the War
Labor Boards "Little Steel" wage
ceiling formula
Plan Seen Model
''In view of the fact that the pres
ent Social Security Act does not pro-
vide a sufficient pension for any
worker to retire and to be able to live
in any measure of decency, the newly
created old age retirement fund in our
industry will supplement the existing
Federal pension by paying to each
worker so retired the sum of $500
year for the balance of his natural
life," Feinberg said. "The establish
ment of the fund marks the recogni-
tion by the cloak and suit industry, an
important segment of the ladies' gar
ment industry, of its obligation to our
workers, who have spent their lives in
building this industry and who will,
under the provisions of the plan, be
secured in their old age.
"We must not forget that no gov
ernment-sponsored social security
plan can do more than meet the very
minimum needs of aged workers. We
believe, therefore, that industry itself
should undertake to supplement the
measure of social security provided
by government with contribution from
its own resources. We hope our plan
will serve as model for other indus
tries"
