THE SITUATION CRITICAL
The Mine Workers Union Has Issued
Call for all Organized Labor
Leaders to Meet in st. Louis and

CoLUMBTs, Ohio, August 21 The
call issued rlast night by the Mine

struggle against federated greed to
meet in ST. Louis, August 80 and de-

Ratchford's s advice and some desired
to ignore it. The matter was refer

Inhuman Treatment of Conyicts.

ATLANTA, August 21.-The report
of the special committee appointed by
Governor Atkinson to investigate the
condition of the convict camps of Geor-
gia, astounded not only the governor
but even those who thought the invest
igation was unnecessary. The COM
mittee declares the camps are worse
than the Siberian coal pits and show q
condition horrible and revolving and
inhuman almost beyond belief. The
contractors compel men to work four
teen to twenty hours day aad rob
them of time allowed by the state for
good behavior and furnish no heat in
winter and make all go almost naked.
Men and women, of both colors, are
compelled to sleep in small shacks with
out ventilation. The inhuman treat
ment of women is unprintable. Taey

work in ditches with men,

"Now if a bottle of this wonderful

A MUTUAL life insurance company
is one in which there are no stock
holders to eat up the profits. Conse.
quen,ly, in mutual company all the
profits of the business are divided
among the policy holders. This makes
it cheaper to insure in mutual com
pany than in a stock company, though
both charge identically the same rate.
The Equitable, Htna, Travellers, Ger
mania and other stock companies turn
a large part of. their profits into the
pockets of the stockholders. Conse-
quently, their dividends can not be as
large as those of THE MUTUAL LIFE
OF NEW YORK, every dollar of whose
profits is turned over to the policy hold
