Modernization Uf social
Security Law Is Urged
Washington.—AFL President William Green led a con
tingent of top officials of American Federation of Labor
affiliates who urged Congress to revise the present social se
curity system to provide higher benefits, extended coverage
and the introduction of a disability insurance program.
Stepping up its 10-year campaign, 20 spokesmen for AFL
unions presented a concerted, united-front stand before the
House Ways and Means Committee in support of bill H. R.
2893 which contains many of the changes proposed by the
AFL to bring the nation’s social security system in accord
with present-day economic conditions.
Streninc the lone and cob*
tinued interest of labor organiza
tions in improving “oar bate social
security,” Mr. Green warned in his
testimony that if Congress fail*
to expand old-age and survivors’
insurance, labor “will have no
other recourse” than to demand
welfare plans from private em
ployers.
Indorsing President Truman’s
recommendation that the present
scale of benefits be almost dou
bled, Mr. Gteen said labor is
ready to pay its share of the ad
ditional money required.
Arguing for extension of cov
erage of the social security sys
tem to groups of employes exclud
ed under the present law, the AFL
leader said:
“There remain* no insurmount
able administrative obstacle to
including the self-employed and
other groups which were left out
of the original program for ad
ministrative reasons. Farm work
ers and domestic workers should
k* included. Likewise, there is no
longer any reason for excluding
the employes of states and their
political subdivisions or the em

ploy*-* of nonprofit and charitable
institutions as the risks encoun
tered by these workers are the
same as those confrontng others.
"A common base of protection
through social insurance for all
gainfully occupied citizens is in
the public interest.”
Mr. Green specfically excluded
railway employes and Federal
workers from coverage of the
law since they are accorded pro
tection under separate systems
especially designed to meet their
needs.
Nelson H. Cruikshank, director
of social insurance activities for
the AFL, backed up Mr. Green’s
testimony with specific details
concerning proposed changes in
the law to accomplish the goals
outlined by the AFL chief. In ad
dition he urged liberalization of
the eligibility requirements under
the present law so that new
workers comng under the system
are not penalized unduly by pay
, ing contributions for a number of
years only to fail to qualify for
any benefits because of insuffi
cient service.
Mr. Cruikshank alto called for
the incorporation into the social
insurance program of a disability
insurance scheme to protect wage
earners from the risk of wage
loss because of physical disabil
ity. He urged adoption of a
Federal program to cover such
risks not taken care of by State
workmen’s compensation laws,
and at the same time to provide
a rehabilitation program for dis
abled workers.
Included among the top officers
l of AFL affiliates were: James A.
i Broh-nlow, secretary-treasurer of
; the AFL’s Metal Trades Depart
! ment; A. L. Spradling, president
of the Amalgamated Association
of Street, Electric Railway and
i Motor Coach Employes; Larry
Taylor, vice president of the In

William H. Cooper, secretary
treasurer of the Building Service
Employes’ Union; Lester Wash
burn. president of the United Au
tomobile Workers, and H. L.
Mitchell, president of the Nation
