FRIDAY, AUGUST 27,1937 RIGHT TO ORGANIZE MUST BE PROTECTED A ruling of intense interest to labor has just been made in Philadelphia Employes of the Supplee-Wills-Jones milk company have been on strike for three weeks. Agreement was made to settle the strike by an election, after Judge Harry E .Kalodner, acting as referee, had ruled on the question of whether the Gold Medal Employes Pro tective Association, called an independ ent organization, was or was not a company union. Judge Kalodner rules that it was a company union, and in his decision said, among other things: Y Y 7 i *f Y FIRST GRADE Elson Basic Reader—Primer 4G cents Silent Reading Workbook, Pre-Primer and Primer 30 Elson Basic Reader—Book One 50 Silent Reading Workbook—Book One 30 Correlated Handwriting—Print to Script I 13 Zabco Primary Pencil 13 Exercise Tablet 3 Mounting Book 5 Sharp Pointed Scissors 12 Ruler 2 SECOND GRADE Elson Basic Reader—Book One— For Review 50 cents Elson Basic Reader—Book Two 56 Silent Reading Workbook—Book Two 30 •"Child's Book of Numbers 53 Child's Book of Songs 43 Essentials of Everyday English II..... 20 *Everyday Speller—Book One 40 Correlated Handwriting—Print to Script II 13 Zabco Primary Pencil 13 Exercise Tablet 3 Mounting Book 5 Devoe Paints 25 Paint Pan 3 Sharp Pointed Scissors...... 12 Ruler 2 Paper for each semester 10 To be loaned by the Board of Education.

"The old conception was that the man who pajs the piper has the right to call the tune, and under that con ception the employer had the right to call the tune and call the step which tht employe must dance. "Congress has decreed an end to such relationship "It is essential that the right of employes to self organization and to join or assist labor organizations should not be reduced to a hollow mockery by the imposition of employer controlled organizations, particularly where such organizations are limited to the particular employer, and have no potential economic strength." :o: WAGE TAXES Wage earning and salaried workers and their employers this year are pour ing into the old age benefits fund an estimated sum of 915 million dollars in wage taxes. Next year the sum paid in will be nearly two billion dollars. Eventually it will exceed three billion dollars a year. In theory the money is being taken from pay envelopes and held in trust to be paid back in old age benefits at some future time. Actually the money is being paid out on current bills of the government and wage earners are left with the illusion they are laying up a cash reserve for old age. What they are doing is paying an income tax on their earnings with no exemptions. With the money spent today, will the government be able to pay when the time comes? The government's deficit on August 11 was $36,800,000, 000—the greatest debt in the coun try's history. And old age benefits to day is just another of the govern ment's debts. The presumption now is that the old age benefits debt will be paid in full, but the same presumption applies to every other debt of the government. After a few years the government stands to make a tremendous profit on payroll taxes, after payment of every cent due on old age benefits. The employee and his employer will pay in 6 per cent of his earnings, while all the government expects to pay back to the worker in old age benefits is 3l/z per cent for itself. AA 5 3 17 [MEAD-ACHE THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS In other words, the government stands to profit well over a billion dol lars a year, after the payment of every cent due on old age benefits. In simple terms this means the govern ment will retain for its own use 42 cents of every dollar paid in as wage "income" taxes, and the worker can expect to get back 58 cents, or 8 cents more than he paid in as his share of the tax. That is the extent to which "he gets more than he paid in." No one finds fault with the intent and purposes of the Social Security Act, but in the handling of the reserve fund, there has been little up to this time to command confidence in the old age benefits program. :0: WHAT NEXT? A cross between an ordinary air plane and an autogiro is the "verta plane," demonstrated recently before engineers at Philadelphia. The "ver taplane" lands and takes off almost vertically, with its top wing spinning in the air. In flight the top wing is locked in a stationary position. :o: WISDOM No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.—Francis Bacon. ffiO SUNDAY JMEADACMfS SPOIL OUR DAY SINCE .ALKA-SELTZER 1 CAM£ OU3 WAVj Don't let HEADACHE, Acid Indigestion, Neuralgia, Muscu lar, Rheumatic, Sciatic Pains, rob you of healthful recreation.
