 Celebrities of radio, stage and screen, who are members of AFL unions, will furnish daily entertain ment during the entire exhibition. :"
 Thousands of union-made articles of every description will be on dis play and arrangements have been completed for special transporta- tion facilities including air lines, railroads, and buses. Governors of neighboring states have issued spe- cial proclamations setting aside specific days for attendance at the exhibition by people in their areas and many unions have planned caravans to carry their members to the show.
 The delegates were informed that the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and the Office Elm ployees International have become affiliated with the Union Label De- partment.
 In the report by the officers, sub- mitted by Matthew Woll, PreSi- dent, it was stated:
 "The year 1947 will bring to or- ganized labor a realization of growth beyond the stage of adol- essence. The American Fedora tion of Labor stands on the thresh- old of manhood eager and willing to accept all of the responsibilities of it's new stature and motivated by an eagerness to bring all it's re- sources to bear in an effort to achieve industrial peace and CO., operation between capital and la bor To this end, we must core late our activities.

LGbel Contention Gets Report On ElabOrute Plans for ShOC

Chicago-Elaborate plans for the big Union Label exposition, open ing October 29 in St. Louis, Mo, and extending through November 3, were announced at the opening session of the AFL Union Label Trades Department convention here.
 Officers of the department stressed particularly in their re- ports the necessity of expanding recognition of the Union Label, Shop Card and Service Button as insurance of steadily improved liv- ing standards throughout the world.
 "We must bear in mind that as our Nation attempts to build and further our international trade re- lations," the report of the officers said, we will at the same time throw open the markets of Amer ica to the production centers of the world.
 This form of foreign competi- ton is not an immediate threat to Amerlcan Job opportunities, and our American standard of living, and will not become one for a few years to come. The situation, how ever, contains the very potent germ of very great evil when the for eign countries return to normalcy and begin to reap the benefit of modern methods of production. It is then that we will be faced with a real threat, and it is then that the Union Label, card and button must prove the defender of security and prosperity Of our American work CTS"

What About Social Security?

l. Know Your Rights and beneIltS
 Did you hear about Andy's vii dow and young ones?"
 Sure. I was at the funeral. Poor Andy wasn't able to leave them much, was he? Why do you ask about them, Joe? Are we go- ing to pass the hat?"
 No, Pete, we're not. Not this time. You see, we've already passed the hat. You and and Andy and millions of other men and women have clipped in for Andy'S family-and for your family and mine. We collected enough to make sure that Andy's kids won't have to be sent to an orphan asy- lum. They'll stay with their moth- CT where they belong while they are growing up."
 "I'll bite. When did all this come off"
 "It's been going on for some time, Pete, and it's still going on I mean the Federal family insurance of the Social Security Act. That's a part of old-age and survivors in- Surance."
 "Oh, that! Sure we've all been taxed for that. It's been taken out of our wages every payday. But I've always thought of that as pay ing for pension when I get too old to work"
 You're wrong on two points. there, Pete. In the first place, it is not pension you get when you receive social security retirement benefits. It is insurance payments. The tax is like an insurance poli- cy premium. And, just as with private insurance, when 1t pays off, nobody asks you if you need the money-or how badly you need it-your Federal old-age and sur- vivors insurance checks come to you as matter of right"
 70. K. So won't call it pen- sion any more. What else did l have wrong?"
 You thought that old-age and survivors insurance was for re- tirement benefits only. But it isn't. It covers your family too, when you retire and also if you should die-as it did in the case of Andy's family
 But, Pete, you're not the only one who hasn't thought about the family angle. Since I've been on the Social Security committee of this local I've found a number of fellows who don't know their en- tire stake in this social security"
 "All of us ought to be put wise, Joe. We all ought to know how it works and what we have coming"
 Right you are, Pete. And yours truly and the other fellows on our Social Security committee aim to do just that"
 First we are going to get the manager of the nearest Social Se- curity Administration office to come to meeting of the local. We want him to tell us about our rights and benefits and we want him to answer the questions we'll ask him. That's the best way to learn things-ask questions"
 When is he coming?"
 Don't know yet. Got to strike a date when our local meets and he is free to come It won't be long. And when the date is set, we'll pass the word along and put it on the

 Brown pointed out that meat prices shot Up 70 per cent when controls went off in July and de- clared workers cannot stand such an increase in price on one item that represents 20 per cent of the family budget" He urged Truman not only to maintain controls, but to institute an immediate investi- gation to determine what is neces- sary to improve the present situa- tion."

 Why not declare it an open meeting and bring our wives? They're bound to be interested. They'll probably have questions to ask, too"
 Swell idea, Pete. Let's look in- to it. Meanwhile, we who are on the Social Security Committee will do what we can for the members. For one thing, we can phone the Social Security Administration off, flee immediately when there is . death in the local"
 fWhat's that for?"
 That's for the sake of his fam fly. The manager of the Social Security Administration office ought to know how to reach them. Then too, he gets in touch with the Social Security Administration records people, and they get to work on the mans social security account to figure out what bene- fits are payable to his survivors"
 That saves time. And there should be no unreasonable delay in filing their claims?"
 "Yes, Pete, they do. It might have happened to Andy's family. I'll tell you about it when I see you again"
