THE GREAT AMERICAN HOAX

Rogers c. Dunn of the Dunn survey, has dug up some
statistics that refue the popular belief that the Newquare
FarDeal has great gain in labor circles Incidentally
Dunn has coined of his for the powersthatbe
at Washington apty calls the "Bureaucrat Deal"
points that when Congress passed the Wagner
Act in 1885, gave union leaders great powers The labor
leaders hailed it as abors Magma Cart At any rate union
membership jumped from 47000O0 to 1896 to 15600000 in
194s.
"How did this tremendous increase in union member
ship affect the vote?" Dunn inquiries and his ques
by producing cold facts prove that the labor

Harry Truman
The bureau lists 96 counties that comprise
33 largest industrial in the country These in

and San Francisco

100000 Democratic votes cast In 1948 with all the
efforts money of the CIOPAC the Democratic

And turning the Taft Hartley law which the union
leaders have termed SlaveLabor" Law Dunn produces
statistics which that when union members

In 1948 the 332 members of who voted for the Taft

FRIEND FROM HOME
By Gordon Martin


You will always treasure mem
ories of golden boyhood days
And the places that you knew
and loved in that delightful
phase.
And now you've got fond
remembrance of the old
familiar town,
For in all the years you've been
away, she's never let you
down.
So each day you're surely glad
to read of old-time things
and chumS,
When the postman rings your
doorbell and your home
town paper comes.
Why just look how all the store
fronts are SO modern and so
neat,
In that pictures showing what's
been done along Commercial
street.
And the schoolhouse where you
used TO go has said its fond
farewell,
But story says the new one is
building very swell.
Turn the page and read the
itemS-not so many names
you know,
But there's some you quickly
recognize that leave a
pleasant glow.
And what's this-well there it
says the town is moving
north and west,
And there's houses in the
pasture where the rabbits
used to nest!
All the weddings, new arrivals
look, they paved Twelfth
Avenue,
And the college is expanding
got to have a courthouse too.
Why you couldn't do without
the news of old-time things
and chums,
So, you're waiting for the
postman when your home
town paper comes.

agency for the employer. This has
long been customary in the print
ing trades and in the maritime in
dustry. Very frequently the union
is the best qualified employment
agency.
1t does not follow, however,
that we should authorize the
closed shop. That is condition
i'm which no man can get a job
unless he is already member
of the union. AS frequently Op-
Grated, even a union member
can't work unless the union
managers assign him to a job.
This means a complete destruc-
tion of the liberty of men to
work where they will, in the oc-
cupation to which they may be
best suited.
THE principle of the closed shop
- is completely un-American. In
aeecent Supreme Court case, JUS
tice Frankfurter quoted with ap-
proval the following statement of
Justice Brandeis:
"The objections, legal, eco
nomic, and social, against the
closed shop are so strong, and
the ideas of the closed shop so
antagonistic to the American
spirit, that the insistence upon it
has been a serious obstacle to
union progress"
Franklin D. Roosevelt de-
nounced the theory of a closed
shop in the coal mines.

should not make a hiring-hall con-

the amendments passed by the
Senate last year, which provided

for employment with such en-
ployer and give it reasonable op.
portunity to refer qualified appli-
cants for such employment. There
is nothing in the law which would
prohibit him from accepting rec
concentrations on the basis of
seniority if he wished to do so, the
practice which prevails in the
railroad industry and many other
industries. But no employer ought
to be allowed to bind himself to
employ only persons recommend
ed by the union. 1t seems equally
clear that he should not be able to
bind himself to accept whatever
man might be sent to him by the
union.
1T MIGHT be possible to permit
exclusive hiring by hiring halls,
but then it seems that they should
be operated under federal regu-
lation so that there is no diScrimi-
nation between union and non
union applicants. Such regulations
would have to approve or prohibit
the so-called rotary system by
which men are recommended not
in accordance with merit or SEMI
ority, but on the basis of the length
of time they have been out of
work.
One conclusive reason for re-
fusing to authorize the closed shop
is that under present conditions it
might rapidly spread throughout
the entire United States. That
would mean complete freezing of
the labor market and the destruc-
ton of the liberty of men to choose
their own occupations. 1t would
lead to arbitrary limitations on the
number of various types of work
ers. There was one union which
refused for years to admit anyone
except sons of members.
But / see no harm i'm the slight
preference given by contracts
for hiring halls SO long as they
do not close the industry to those
who have not yet become men,
bers of unions. There is not the
slightest threat to the existence
of unions because it is always
legal to make union shop con-
tract which requires workers
after thirty days to pay dues, SO
that they may not become free
riders and take advantage of the
work done by unions without
having for it,

AS previous articles in this series
have pointed out, it's vital to un-
derstand your social security
rights, for two reasons:
So you don't forfeit important
cash benefits through misunder-
standing or delay. as many people
have in the past.
To know how much additional
savings and insurance you need
to protect your family.
The box with today's article
shows how to calculate the wage
earner's own potential pension,
called the primary benefit" Here
are answers to questions frequent
| ly asked about additional family
benefits:
Widow Gets Lump Sum.
@. If a covered worker dies be-
fore he retires. how much does
his family get?
A. First of all, the widow gets
the lump-sum payment made on
death of any covered wage-earner.
This Is three times his primary
benefit. In the case of a worker
who averaged 5000 a month in
wages, and so was entitled to a
primary benefit of $65 month on
retirement, the lump sum payment
would be $195.
If the widow has unmarried and
dependent children under 18, she
also gets a monthly pension of
three-fourths of her husbands
primary until the last child
reaches Is. In addition, the oldest
child gets three-fourths of the
primary benefit until 18. and each
additional child gets one-half the
primary benefit. But there are
limits on the total amount the
family could receive: $3.50 month
or 80 per cent of the average wage.
II the deceased had averaged less
than $187.50 a month in covered
employment, the limit would be
80 per cent of whatever he did
average. In no case, however, is
the surviving family's benefit less
than $40 a month.
Pension Will Resume.
@. Does the widows own pen
sion stop when the last child
reaches 18?
A. Yes, but it resumes when she
herself reaches IS.
Q.-Can the widow work and
still draw her pension?
A.-She is not permitted to earn
more than $50 a month in a job

covered by social security, or earn
more than 5000 a year in self EN-
ployment Except in such profess
sions as law, accountancy, farm
ing, architecture and several 9TH
ers). Nor can the children. for
that matter. if they are receiving
survivors pensions. But the fam
lily can earn any amount in nom
covered employment, or from rent
al of property, dividends. private
insurance policies, interest on Sc
curities, etc.
Q.-If the widow remarries, does
her pension continue?
A.-No, her payments stop; but
those of her dependent children
by the decease wage-earner con-
tinue.
Dependent Parents.
Q.-Do dependent parents re-
ceive pensions?
A.-Either or both parents may:
but only if aged 65 or over, if
there's no widow or child under
18 entitled to benefits, and II the
parents had been getting at least
half their support from the wage
Garner. Each parent 65 or over
would get three-fourths Of the
primary benefit of the deceased
son or daughter.
Off there's no widow. who
gets the lump-sum death benefit?
A.-Whoever has paid the fu-
neral expense, whether a relative
or not.
Q.-How long does it take to
receive this lump-sum payment?
About four to six weeks
after the surviving dependents
have made application for it, and
have given the social security Of
flee proof of the wage earner's
death, such as the death certi-
ficate. always remember that you
must make application for any
benefits due you; they never start
automatically
Q.-Would divorced wife get
payments If her ex-husband died?
Ayes. if she has an under-18
child of the deceased in her care
and had been receiving at least

half her support from him. In

Expert Suggests
Way to Estimate
Possible Pension

Here's how Sydney Mar
golius suggests you estimate
your prospective pension un-
der the new social security
law:
Your monthly old-age pay
ment would be so per cent of
the first 500 Of your average
monthly wage before deduc-
tions. plus Is per cent of the
remainder up to 5000.
A man whose earnings
averaged $100 in covered en-
ployment could get a retire
ment pension Of $50 at age
IS. If he averaged 5000, his
pension would be SOS; if $500,
$50.
Only wages to $4,000 a year
are counted; even if you
earned in excess in some year,
the excess could not be used
to lift your average.
The wage-earner's personal
pension is called his primary
benefit" When his wife
reached IS. she would get an
amount equal to half his
primary benefit. Any chill
dren under 18 at the time of
a wage-earner's retirement
would also get monthly pay
ments on his retirement.
If the retired worker died,
his wife's pension would in
crease to three-fourths Of his
primary benefit. If he died
before retiring. his depend
ents would receive varying
benefits. as described in to-
days article.
