WASHINGTON-(FP) = How long overdue are improvements in the social security act to bring benefit payments and broader coverage was shown this week as Rep. Robert w. Kean (R, ND introduced Hk 53o0, measure to liberalize the act.
 Pointing out that today some 4O@o of the gainfully employed do not have protection under the old age and survivors insurance pro- gram of the act, Koan said his measure would cover all gainfulIy employed workers but government and railroad employees, who have their own systems. State and muni- cipal employees would be included on voluntary basis, he said.
 The wage base on which benefits are drawn would be raised from the present maximum of $3,00O to $4,2OO yearly under the Kean bill taking in to account the higher wage rates than were in effect in 1886 when the act became law.
 Minimum monthly payments for single persons would be raised from the present $10 to $20, and from the present SIS to $50 for a married cou- pie. Kean would also raise the amount which a retired worker would be al- lowed to earn and still draw benefits, from the present SIS monthly to $50.

plemented charter for self-govern- ment, dealing with a specific prob lem of industrial relations, in any industrial basic industry.''
 Robert N. Denham, NLRB general counsel, said that the plan offered tremendous advantage to employers. employees and the public since the al formative would be for the labor board to settle interunion disputes.
 The plan will affect 19 unions affi1i- ated With the AFL and about 100000 building trades workers.
 NATIONAL BOARD
 The core of the agreement is the creation of a national joint board for settling disputes in the building and construction industry.
 The board would consist of an i'm partial chairman, two persons named by the AFL building contractors and one by the speciality contractors.
 The two labor and two industry members of the joint board would be chosen for individual disputes from a pool of 24-l2 from each side. For each case the impartial chairman would select his 4 col leagues from pool members whose organizations were not involved They would sit with him and rem der decision.
 The impartial chairman is to be se- lected by board of trustees consist ing Of s members, 4 from industry and 4 named by the unions.
 The first consideration of a dispute will be by the trustees. They will as- certain if the dispute has ever been the subject of a previous decision of record or of recorded agreement" of the parties.
 This section was designed to keep in the foreground of the machinery the many decisions now in existence in the building industry on jurisdic- tional disputes.
 PROCEDURE
 When the trustees find that a dis pute has not been settled by a decision or agreement of record the chairman shall notify all the parties and allow them time to present evidence.
 When a dispute is filed with the board the board chairman will notify the president of the AFL building de- partment. The latter will call meet ing of the presidents of the unions in volved in the dispute.
 If this results in a satisfactory agreement a signed copy will be filed with the board chairman. If the dis pute is not settled in 10 days the board chairman will docket the case for hearing and decision.
 The joint board is required to rem der decision, if possible, within 10 Cays after the end of the hearings.
 Pending board decision or such settlement as may be made by the AFL unions themselves, the plan says that ''there shall be no stop page of work arising out of any jurisdictiOnal dispute.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Believe it or not, one of the na- tion's leading business publications the New York Journal of Com merce"-sees organized labor as a bulwark against a new depression arising out of the recent price slump.
 ''The strong present-day Organi- zation of labor," the ''JOurnal'' de- clared. "will act as a brake on wage-cutting and hence price cut ting"
 As a result of labOr's strength and other factors, ''nothing like the price collapse of 1920 is in the cards now," the paper added.
 A touching demonstration of the solicitude held by the Hearst press for the big-mOney people over the rest of us unfOrtunates was unveil- ed last week in the form of whop- ping big editorial on the Knutson tax bill now before Congress.
 Painting eagerly for passage of the bill the Hearst papers said it would ''impartially benefit ALL CLASSES of taxpayers and would confer the LARGEST BENEFITS upon the LOWEST INCOMES >
 This statement is outright fak- cry. Here's how the Knutson bill would work:
 A married couple with two chiI- dren earning $lOO,OOO would get reduction of 18.lc for every dol lar of income.
 A similar couple earning $IO,OOO would get reduction of 6.5c per dollar.
 And similar couple earning $2,4OO Beverage wage of US. wage earners) would rate a reduction of 3.2c per dollar.

WASTE OF FUNDS

WASTE OF FUNDS
 This waste of public funds is the direct result of a provision of the Taft-Hartley law which outlaws the closed shop and requires an cleo ton among employees before unions are permitted to ask the employer to grant union shop.
 Under this provision of law, the NLRB is about to embark on the tre- mendous task of holding some 10000 elections in the building and construc- ton industry, which has been closed shop industry by tradition. The most that can be gained from the effort in volved and the huge outlay of federal funds, plus the expense to unions and contractors alike, is the maintenance of the status quo. The form of union security merely will be altered from the closed shop to the union shop.
 All of this to please the whims of the labor haters who insisted that no union should be allowed to retain a closed shop, no matter how well the practice had worked in the past
 
 THE METHOD
 In the building trades the cost of conducting the elections is expected to exceed the $.45-per- ballot cost under the Wagner Act Why this is so may be seen from the announced plans of the NLRB for the first election to be held in the industry, among road builders in western Pennsylvania.
 These road-building contractors have bargained as group. They will be required to check their pay rolls and compile an employment history of each emplOye for the past year at least. Unions will prob ably check these lists.
 The general counseps office of the NLRB then will analyze the lists and histories. John Smith may have worked for two or more contractors ln the year. He can only be counted once. If he has worked only month or two he may be eliminated. Government clerks then will communicate with each person on the lists. If John Smith has worked as a teamster but has opened a grocery store and does not intend to go back to hauling, he will not be eligible for a ballot.
 This is important because union shop is allowed only if it is supported by majority of the eligible voters A mere majority of the votes cast is not enough. Nonvoters are counted against the union shop.
 HARD TO BEAT
 Suppose 10000 persons are eligible to vote. If the total vote is 1899 and is unanimous for the union shop, that would not be enough to win. Hence the unions particularly are desirous of limiting the eligibles to bona hde tradeSmen.
 The pilot election will be rela' lively simple because it will in volve only 3 crafts, the teamsters operating engineers, and other In many cases there will be Is to 20 crafts. Separate elections will be conducted for each craft in each area. There are 600 to 700 bargain ing areas.
 In metropolitan areas the polling will be concentrated, of course. On the other hand, bargaining in Kansas i conducted on a statewide basis bu 1t will be impracticable to set up { single, central polling place. NLRE employees will have to go into many cities and towns

Your Dollar By CONSUMERS UNION
ELECTRIC IRONS

You don't have to pay a high price to get good automatic electric iron, Consumers Union tests show. Second in order of quality in the list of 12 brands rated in the current Consumer Reports is a Sears iron selling for $6.95 plus postage. Only one auto matlc iron showed up better in the tests, General Electric iron selling for $1195.
 The models tested offered vari- Ous features, some worthwhile, some little more than expensive gadgets. The ratings took into con. sideratiOn temperature changes during use, maximum temperature, sOleplate material, shape and size, cords, handles and durability and resistance to abuse. For those who are seriously annoyed by trailing cords, the Eureka Cordless 1904, $l9.95, may offer a solution, but GU judged that for most users it would be less satisfactory than an ordinary automatic iron.
 The Best Buy, in GUS opinion, was the Kenmore Cat No.-6218-1, $6o5 plus postage At the top of the list for overall merit was the GE 119F23, $1195.
 ALARM CLOCKS
 If you still prefer an old-fashioned, Wlnd-up alarm clock to an electric clock, there are many Wind-ups in the stores that can be counted on to get you up ln the morning. According to Consumer Reports, laboratory tests by Consumers Union showed that most Wlnd-up alarm clocks can be adjusted to an accuracy of within few min uteS a day. They are not as accurate as electrics but they are cheaper and don't depend on the electric supply.
 In tests of 21 brands, GU found the Best Buys to be Westclox Bellboy, $2.31, and Natl. Call Cat. No.-7028, $.l98 plus postage. At the top of the list for overall quality were liar many House Cat. No.-7025, $5.45 plus postage and Ingraham Broadcast 8 Day, $4.35.
 PRESSURE COOKERS
 Five new models of pressure cookers are rated in the current issue of Con- sumer Reports. Consumers Union rated one of the five Excellent and the rest good to poor.
 GU rated AMC Dream, $12.95, Ex- cellent. Flex-Sea1, $1570, was rated Good. In previous tests, the Miro Matte, $12.95, was also rated Excellent.
 PANCAKE MIXES
 If you want to make hot cakes as good as any grandma used to make, your chances of doing it are excellent with some of the prepared mixes on the grocers' shelves.
 GU found that the mixes fell in- to three basic groups, according to the four that predominated. In the wheat (white) mixes, Best Buys were ICA, He for l lb. oz. 1; Golden Mix, l8c for l lb. 4 oz. :; White Spray, l3c for l lb. 4 OF. Best Buys among the buckwheat mixes were B B Brand, l5c for lb. 4 oz.; Coop, 23c to 32c for 2 lbs. Among the whole wheat mixes, ICA, 24c for 31a lbs. was the Best Buy.
