Reuther, “Statement (president, Congress of Industrial Organizations), in Automation and Technological Change: Hearings” (1955-10-17) articulates M06b. Reuther urges the subcommittee to consider earlier Social Security payments for workers forced into retirement before 65 because technological changes have taken their jobs and their age keeps them from finding other work.

Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A passage of the document meets the proposition’s criterion. The record documents what the text states, in its register (fiction and satire are labelled); it is not evidence that the proposition is true and implies no influence on or from another text.
Date. Hearing day of the statement: "Monday, October 17, 1955" (printed p. 97), as in the order of appearances. Checked in a current copy; an archive capture was not available, so earlier bytes are not authenticated.
