A CLEARING HOUSE FOR
NEGRO THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
By James A. White

The greatest handicap Negro progress lack
OF clear thinking the part of Negro leaders, the
ol OF Negroes following their leaders, but the fact that
eSe leaders have no adequate of harmonizing their
views nor OF securing wholesale support from the
Negroes their ideas unified They have no way of
obtaining Negro public opinion his reaction proposals
Tor hSbene The of Negroes have way know
ing what is expected Of hem neither do they
expressing their opinion and result they feel as they
are beng exploited not only by other people but by the
leaders we'll
Because Negro leaders don't understand each other and
nave no common understanding about what they are doing
the public cannot make adequate appraisal of this lead
erSh Confusion is the result and the Negro erro-
neOuy assessed inferior other The true express
sion OF Negro thought suppressed and paradoxcay
action appears to counter to the logical sequence of
mocracy.
To correct this evil number of Jackson citizens have
proposed federation of all Negro organizations
social raterna and businessto from channel for clear
thinking and acting all problems efectng Negroes gen
eraL All Negro organizations requested to send
least TWO representatives to meeting to be held at the
teacher headquarters 1928 Lynch Street evening
P NJ, June 5th, 1914 for perfecng such federation
The federation will not interfere with of the internal
actions OF the organizations It's actions will be forms
reterendums 1t will study problems submitted by any or
gan1Zaton This will be done by commissions set-up for
this purpose The commission will make recommendations
Tor action necessary and submit all organizations for
approval dsapprovaL By such the whole Negro
population could be organized to get needed school park
for Negroes
On the other hand all Negroes would given first hand
information by their representative in the federation about
what Negroes are trying to do All Negroes would have say
IN determining what they are to do group
committee on organization is asking that every Negro
organization in Jackson send at least representatives
with letter OF Identification to the meeting Monday eve
ming, NJ June 5th to make constitution for the pro-
posed federation.

Question: What does person have
to do to come into this systemP"
Answer: He must work on job that
comes under the law; that is, in a fac
tory, mill, shop, mine, store, filling sta
ton, cafe, hotel, theatre, laundry or some
other business or industry and he must
get Social Security Account Number
card to make certain that his wages are
properly credited. When worker OBJ
tains an account number, the Social Sc
curity Board sets up an individual ac-
count for him. Every time his employer
reports the amount Of wages paid to
him, these wages are credited to his
Social Security account. When the time
comes for paying benefits this account
will be used to figure the amount Of
the insurance.
question: What are the functions
of the local Social Security Board field
Officer"
Answer:
l. To provide service as near as pos
sible to those participating in the pre-
gram.
2. To issue original and duplicate So
cial Security Account Number cards and
to inform workers and employers in the
proper use Of such cards.

CHRISTMAS is the time of
~ holly and mistletoe, jingling
bells and reindeer, gaily trimmed
trees and stockings hung by the
fireside-the time of JOY and an
ticipation and excitement of hid
den packages and the pleasure of
giving-the time of good, mouth
watering smells in the kitchen,
plum pudding and pumpkin and
mince pie smells. All this is tra-
dition in America. 1t represents
the customs of our forefathers for
generations, customs that we must
not let go but must keep up for
our children so that always there
will be an American Christmas.
While many hearts are sad
dened, and families separated by
vast distances cannot be together
this year, the children should still
be surrounded by the things that
make for a happy holiday season.
Put the spirit of Christmas in
your home. Christmas greens
used plentifully are all you need
for CHEEKY decorations and, if you
live in the country, there is the
added fun Of gathering your own
decorations.
Let the children entertain dur
ing the holiday season. They

for saving and insurance is encouraged
and stimulated.
question: what does it costP" who
pays for it?"
Answer: workers and their employers
share the cost of old-age and survivors
insurance. The worker pays a tax on
wages he receives. The employer pays
a tax on his pay roll. A5 present the
tax rate for the worker is one cent on
each dollar Of his wages. The employer
pays the same.
The workers tax is taken out of his
pay by his employee who sends its to the
government at the end of the calendar
quarter. If worker has had more than
one employer, it may be found, at the
end of the year, that he has paid taxes
on wages of more than $1,000 for the
year. He may, in this case, obtain from
the Bureau of internal Revenue a refund
of taxes paid on wages in excess of
$4,000. For further information call or
write the Butte office of the Social Sc
curity Board, located at 4O2 Silver Bow
plOCh Uul4ulH6.
question: rs everybody covered un-
der this law?"
Answer No Only employees of busi-
ness or industrial concerns are covered
under old-age and survivors insurance
provisions Self-eanployment. domestic
service, government service, agricultural
Jobs, jobs in churches, public schools,
public Libraries, charity hospitals and
other nin-profit institutions are not
covered under the law. Persons en-
ployed solely by these organizations may
not claim Social Security benefits and
do not pay Social Security taxes.
Every business or industrial establish
ment comes under the law regardless of
the number of workers employed. All
stores, shops, apartment houses, hotels,
garages, boarding houses, etc, having
only one employe are covered just the
same as a big plant or business concern
which has several employees. Workers
engaged on a part-time basis are also
covered.

more on jobs covered by the law. Add
this to the total. The sum is the work.
er's primary monthly benefit. The So
cial Security Board has prepared a table
which shows what an insured worker
andior his dependents should receive,
after he has worked a specified number
of years at a certain average monthly
wage, and then dies or retires.
Ask the Butte office of the Social Sc
curity Board for a pamphlet explaining
how to figure your benefits.
question: How are the amounts Of
survivors benefits determined"
Answer: The amount of a survivors,
benefit payment is based on the primary
benefit of the deceased worker, on whose
wages they are paid. A widows benefit
is three-fourths of the workers benefit
A child's benefit is one-nalf of the work
er's benefit. A parents benefit is one
half of the workers benefit.
For example: A young man who re-
ceived wages averaging $3.50 per month
over a period of five years, dies, leaving
a widow and one child Based on his
average monthly wage of $3.50, his pri-
mary benefit would amount to $3.50.
HIS widow would get three-fourths of
that or $2363 per month. Payments
for the child would be one-half Of $3.50
or $15.75 per month-making total of
S39.98 per month for his widow and
child. Survivor payments may not ex-
ceed twice the workers benefit 80 per
cent of his average monthly wage, or
$780,
Question: Where should the wiGoW
of worker who has paid Social Security
taxes inquire about filing a claim for
survivors insurance? Who files the claim
.sor her children? How is the payment
made?"
Answer: When a widow wishes to file
claim for old age and survivors, insur-
ance benefits she should go or write to
the nearest field office Of the Social
Security Board. The address Of the Butte
office is 4O2 Silver Bow block building
The widow also files the claims for hei
,children's benefits. There is no charge
for services of Board employees. The So
lcial Security Board will furnish forms
and will give any help the claimant may
need in filling out papers If the claim
IS proper under the law, it will be ap-
proved and certified for payment to the
U. S. Treasury by the Social Security
Board.
question: Does the Social Security Act
make it unnecessary for a worker to save
or provide private insurance protection
for his family or old age?
Answer Emphactically no payments
made under the act are intended only
to provide a basic minimum subsistence
to prevent destitution and to supple
ment private insurance and savings. Un-
der this principle individual initiative

ing such proofs.
4. To inform workers, employers and
others of their rights and responsibilities
under the Act.
5. To develop and adjudicate claims
and render decisions on such matters as
wages, coverage, family relationship. etc.
6. To answer inquiries from any
source regarding benefit payments, wages
and other questions involving technical
interpretations Of the law.

ance payments?"
