can do here, therefore, is to agitate

"A delegation strong in every respect,

The views presented in the appeal of
our Chicago comrades are otherwise
substantially on the lines of the great
international movement as marked out
by the Paris Congress of 1889, and, with
the necessary modification suggested
above, we shall moi only second their
efforts to the best Of our ability, but
we feel confident that the Brussels Con-

FIRE INSURANCE.

No better argument can be presented
against the competitive system of in
surance than the following admission of
Mr.. Armstrong, president of the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, in his report
for 1890:
Every other adjunct of commerce
has made more progress and been kept
more in unison with the wants of this
great people than fire insurance it re
mains in the same Beaten tack of cen
fury or more ago. At every meeting of
the underwriters of the land, the same
old problem is discussed at great length,
the meeting adjourns. the underwriters
return home, and business goes ON as
usual, viz. men who know and attend
to their business fix the rates-and the
grand majority copy their pollcies-and
all continue great underwriters together,
the one who pays the largest commits
sions usually being considered the great
est and wisest-by the broker
1t may be added that the insurance
business is so profitable, in spite of the
high commissions paid to brokers and
of the higher salaries paid to officers, that
there is actually little inducement for
the corporations to seek improvement.
Take, for instance, Mr.. Armstrong;

Rapid Transit JObbery-Call Mass.
Meeting.

Editor WORKMEN's ADV OCATE: - The
Legislature at Albany is considering
the rapid transit problem for New
York City. Commissioners appointed
by the Mayor are hearing propositions
as to routes, systems and propelling
power. All these schemes contemplate
the laying out of plans by public
officials, and the leasing and giving
away of the facilities for transit, to
private corporations, which shall be Or
ganized to take them and to make
money out of operating them. Every
proposal smells of jobbery, money
making for private benefit, extortion
and corruption. And the public press is
silent, and the influential classes"
make no remonstrance, and, worse yet,
the mass of our people remain unmoved,
unieard from, Ignorant of their rights
and ignorant Of their power.
Any further transit roads in New York
city, whether run by horse power,
steam, cable or electricity, ought to be
built and operated by the city govern
ment, and their profits turned into
the municipal treasury. The Socia ist
Labor Party is of this opinion; the
Knights of Labor are of this opinion
a majority of the voters of this city, if
they could be got at. would be of this
opinion, and would so vote at the
polls. If to day the city of New York
owned the railroads which run through
its own streets, the fares would be a
mere trltle for the passengers--one or
two cents each, the profits would reduce
the taxes, and the reduction of taxes
would lower the rents and the prices at
retail of every article in the stores. All
that is wanted is that the people shall
EnOic.
Why not call a mass meeting and
demand that any transit road to be built
hereafter shall be owned and run by the
