Knight Assails
Strikes By Business

Chicago. = Strikes by employers
against the government and consum-
ers have been far more serious than
any stoppages by labor, but they have
been largely ignored in the press.
That significant point was made by
President Felix H. Knight of the Car
men as guest speaker at big rally
here marking the joint installation of
officers of locals affiliated with the
Garments Association Of Chicago.

SEEK SECURITY FOR
2l MILLION MORE

Washington, D. C.-Insurance COW
erage for 21 million additional per-
sons, including household domestics
and farmers, and larger benefit pay
ments under the Social Security Act.
were proposed by A. J. Altmeyer,
chairman of the Social Security
Board.
Altmeyer presented points in his
recommendations for changes in old
age and survivors insurance in his
testimony before the House Ways
and Means Committee. They were:
G) Extension to all persons gain
fully employed.
(2) Coverage for the self-employed
(3) Increased benefits under both
old-age and survivors insurance.
(4) Permanent disability benefits.
(5) Methods for financing.
Altogether, Altmeyer told the COM
mittee, "a million social security cards
have been issued, although only Al
million persons still have an insured
status. In extending the coverage, he
estimates, about Fl million more would
be insured.
Suggests Stamp Book System
These would include farm workers,
domestics, employees of nonprofit insti-
tutions, veterans, employees of federal,
state and local governments, railroad
workers and self-employed, including
small shopkeepers, plumbers, BARRIERS,
tailors, etc.
In providing for collections of in
surance premiums from much of this
group, he suggested stampbook sys-
tenn, operating through the postal de-
partment. For farm owners and self
employed he suggested use of in
come-tax returns as method of de-
termining the extent of their partici-
patton.
The formula for increasing the bene-
fits would be to increase the amount
of wages counted for benefit pay
ments from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
The benefits would be 40 percent of
the first $75 month, plus 10 percent
of the remainder. This would increase
maximum payments from $40 to $3.50
month. Minimum payments would be
increased from $40 to $40 month.
Under Altmeyer's recommendations,
monthly cash benefits would be pay
able for disability lasting 5 months or
more, not now covered.
In financing the program, Altmeyer
said:
"The present rate of percent pay
able each by employees and employer
is probably sufficient to cover the total
costs of the expanded program for the
next 5 years. Increase to percent
each probably would provide enough
revenue to cover disbursements for
the next 10 years."

The Smith Islanders. mostly de-

after DR.. Chambers arrival, when
weather beaten Bay captains met at
Roosevelt Evans general store to talk
over the topics of the day.
Capt. George Sommers, who has
spent more than so years on the Bay
was first to express approval of the
new doctor. He said Looks like he
is just the kind of doctor for us. His
wife's nice, too. Looks like they are
going to fit in all right. Certainly

echoed the sentiment.

AFL Raps Board Handling Wage

Labor Men Dissent From Groups Eight-P Point

WASHINGTON OPA) = The unhappy Wage Stabilization Board charged with carrying out President Truman's new wage-price policy, was the target of new attacks this week when it announced a guiding state ment of policy"
 Labor members dissented from the statement, which set up an eight-point guide covering the general pattern" standard of wage increases. Both CIO and AFL have indicated they considered the new Truman policy unavoidable, and la. bOr spOkesmen here agreed that the order further confused the Board with governmental gObbledygOOk, Washington term for obscure Ian. guage.

Officers Won Make Anti-Union
 Remarks---lke'
Chief Of Staff Promises Labor Occurrence Will
 Not Be Repeated

LOS ANCELES-(FP)-Army officers who make cracks at labor unions are not in favor with Gen. Dwight ID. Eisenhower. The U. S. army chief of staff promises ''proper action'' will be taken to prevent anti-labOr propaganda by officers.
 Eisenhower's assurance was received by Los Angeles labor, which had pro- tested both to the army chief and to President Truman at a mimeographed recruiting appeal issued to personnel at Walla Walla Army Airfe1d, Wash.
 Here's a Quote
 Why go after a job where the right to strike keeps thousands of willing workers away from their jobs?" a Capt. Blaylock of the 448th Bombard- ment Group was quoted as saying. "Why go where you have to pay union fees, initiation fees, etc, for the privilege of working?"
 EisenhOwer's letter to the coun- ciI says: sYou may be assured that proper action will be taken to pre- vent officers from making state- ments that would unfairly preju- dice members of the armed forces against labor or any other group of other citizens"

Red Cross Asks
 Support Of Labor

The important part that organized labor has played in supporting the Red Cross fund raising campaigns in New Haven during the war years was emphasized this week by Mrs. Charles w. Fyfe, chairman of the To- cal campaign to raise $302,750 during the month of March.
 In asking for continued support from labor, Mrs. Fyfe said. There were more than 100000 casualties during world war II as compared with Z5O,OOO during the first world war. We want to see that every wounded veteran gets the best possible care. Through Red Cross recreation direc- tors, life is made more bearable for those in hospitals.
 Because of the enormity of Red Cross postwar program, the drive in this city can only be success if it is given the cooperation of every group and every individual in the commun- ity."

Doctors Kick In
 To Help Defeat Health Measure
Detroit Medical Trust Out To Emasculate Wagner
 Murray-Din Bill

DETROIT (FP) About 2,00O doctors in Wayne county are paying all assessment of $25 apiece levied by the Wayne County Medical Society known as the medical trust, to fight the health provisions of the Wagner Murray-Dingell social security bill now before Congress in Washington.
 The Wayne $5O,OOO fund is part of the state fund and it is assumed that other units of the American Medical Assn. are joining in the lobbying against the measure that would bring better medical service to American families.
 Doctors who told Federated Press about the $50 assessment cautioned against use of their names, saying if the medical trust knew about the leak it would ruin them in their profes- sion.
