The international convention of the United Brewery Workers threw its weight behind the Committee for Industrial Organization in a resolution endorsing it and pledging all possible assistance. In another unanimously adopted resolution, the convention described the suspension of the C. I. 0. vindictive unions as and illegal. In endorsing the C. I. 0., the union declared that the only way the workers in the large industries can be organized is by organizing them into industrial unions.

This is not, and never was intended to be, a pension. The same Act does however, provide in anothep chapter for old age benefits, payable in 1942 and thereafter. These are paid for, in effect, by employer and employee, and out of reserves set up on actuarial basis. In fact, it is old age insurance. The states do not participate. No act of mine could possibly affect the operation of this feature in the slightest degree. Facts Determined ' These facts are easily determined.

Provision is made in the Social state-(Continu- Service WASH Proposed Legislation Why, months before the Federal Social Security Act was passed by Congress I proposed, the Legislature enacted, and I officially approved, state legislation by which this state was able to obtain all of the benefits of the aid features of the Federal Social Security Act when that beneficent measure finally was passed by Congress. I thus anticipated and prepared to receive all of the possible grants of funds that could come to this state under the Federal Social Security Act. I know of no other state administration with an equally alert and progressive record. Further, as soon as it was definitely determined that without further legislation we could not participate in unemployment compensation benefits for employees, I caused to be prepared a bill which has been declared by federal authorities to be a model act. And I called the Legislature into special session to enact this bill. It did so promptly. Utah is thus in readiness to receive all the benefits from the Federal Social Security Act in the form of unemployment compensation just as soon as such benefits become available to any state. So acceptable and complete was the law thus prepared and passed at the recent Special Session of the Legislature that it was approved by the Social Security Board at Washington, D. C. almost immediately on presentation. The promptness of the approval accorded the Utah Act by the Social Security Board was a high compliment to the state. Peculiar Situation Let me point to a peculiar situation in this whole matter. Thi3 is the first time in my experience that a public official has been charged with being opposed to a program which he has sponsored and worked for unceasingly, and finally has consummated in every detail. Does President Roosevelt agree with my- critics as to my stand and accomplishments ? He does not. Instead he wires me his congratulations on calling the Special Session. Other high officials of the government have offered high commendation. I set the approval of the President and leaders such as these against the carping criticism for irresponsible persons who are bent 0. NEW YORK.

At the same time the union reiterated its previous position in favor of for-- 1 mation of a national labor party.
