TO INSURE AGAINST STRIKES.

A dispatch in yesterdays Journal stated
that a movement was on foot in Louisville
looking to the organization of a strike in
surance company, or in other words a COM
pany to insure against damages from
strikes Of employees. 1t was stated that the
movement originated at the recent meeting
of the National Manufacturers Associa-
ton in New Orleans and was an outgrowth
of the efforts of employers to devise some
plan to protect themselves against labor
unions. There is no doubt but that idea
has grown very rapidly of late. 1t is shown
by the large increase in the membership Of
the Manufacturers Association since the
meeting at New Orleans, and by the or
ganization in a number of cities of asso-
Citations of employers pledged to stand to-
gether in resisting what they regard as
unreasonable demands of organized labor.
The idea of a strike insurance company
is novel. and yet it may be feasible
There is insurance nowadays against
almost every kind of loss, disaster or dam
age. The banks have an organization
which insures against burglary, and it is
SdlQ 10 Work well not only IN making lOSS-
es good, but in the detection Of criminals.
There are number of surety companies
which virtually insure against losses by
dishonest employees by giving bonds in any
amount to cover such losses. The appli-
cation of the principle so as to secure the
cooperative action of employers against
losses by strikes would seem to be quite
within the scope of modern business meth
DDS. The movement is chiefly interesting
as an indication of a tendency. The Jour-
nal deprecates every movement that tends
to array capital and labor against each
other, and it has frequently warned labor
unions that there was danger their arbi-
tTary, 'dictatorial and coercive methods
might drive employers to adopt self-de-
fensve measures that would result in
drawing the lines tighter against labor
unions. That is just what is taking place.
The organization of employers associa-
tons is a step in that direction, and this
proposed organization of a strike or anti
strike insurance company is another. Such
a company of manufacturers and employ
ers might raise an enormous fund, and
with a motto Of millions for defense but
not one cent for tribute" it would be able
to defeat almost any strike.

Many Persons Visit the Manual Train
ing High school.
At the Manual Training High School yes
terday the annual visitors day was OBJ
served and work of the students ex-
hibited to crowds of strangers who
thronged the corridors all day. Early in
the morning the pupils Of the school were
given an opportunity to pay a visit to the
various departments and then the guides
were kept busy the rest of the day taking
of the classes were in session as usual and
many enjoyed visits to the academic recita-
tons as well as the mechanical rooms.
One OF the features OF the exhibit was
the library, which was this year gaily at
tired in school colors and flowers. most
prominent in the decorations being peoples
and palms, the work Of the Phi Delta NJ
sorority. Many Of those investigating the
institution were interested in the trophy
case, in which are kept all the spoils of
war in the shape of cups which have been
won by the sturdy athletes Of NJ. 7. H. s.
The drawing department was one of the
popular parts of the school and the work
this year was pronounced exceedingly
clever. Professor Stark had an exhibit
here that attracted many. Typography in
wood and leather designs was also shown.
In the manual training department most of
those who attended the exhibit fingered
longest Many features" were shown,
among them an electric motor made by
Walker De Haven and gasoline engine by
George Wildhack.
Probably the exhibit of most general in
terest was that of the sewing and cooking
departments, where the young women OF
the school are given thorough training in
domestic science" The work in these
rooms was carried on as usual and an OBJ

ANNIVERSARY OF SENATE
PROGRAMME SPOILED BY THE AN
TICS OF TROUBLESOME BOYS.
Miss Laura Donnan Organized the
Senate Twenty Years Ago-yisftors'
Day at NJ. II. III. S.-School News.

Shortridge High Schools assembly hall
was filled yesterday afternoon when the
celebration of the twentieth anniversary
of the Senate was held. Had il not been
for the very ungentlemanly conduct OF
large number of young men of the school
who sat in a corner and made noises that
would have outdone the gallery gods OF the
Empire Theater, the affair would have
been a decided success; but the action OF
the lads with a strangs idea of fun marred
an otherwise enjoyable programme. The
boys IN question kept up a continual under
current of talk. intermingled with barbaric
sounds that wholly drowned the speakers
on the stage and even kept the audience
from nearing the person in whose honor
the exercises were held-Miss Laura DON
nan. who organized the Senate twenty
years ago.
Like the proverbial policeman. who is
chooses, the many members of the school
faculty sat and smiled at the outbreak. 1t
was not until one of the men teachers
saw the scowls the faces of many per-
sons in the audience who had come to
hear the speeches and not see the antics or
foolish schoolboys, that something was
done to stop the noise. Before Principal
Hull was sent for a woman in the audi
ence attempted 10 stop the uiStufDdHCS,
but she met with a cold reception. How
ever, when the curtain was nearly ready
to drop Principal Hull appeared on the
scene and there was at once brushlng OF
hair and other gestures. Prof. Hull sat
down in the midst of the crowd, but the
nomadic idea soon took hold of the young
men and they got up and left amid the APP
plause of the audience.
What could be heard of the programme
was good, especially the musical numbers
of the Mandolin Club. orchestra and solo
by Everson Mediation. Ferd Kahn, presi-
dent of the Senate, presided and introduced
the speakers. He asked the disturbing ele-
ment" just after Miss Donnan had talked
TO try and be gentlemen even II II was
unnatural" Charles Christian, well known
as Senator Deboe, leader of the machine,
made an exceedingly good speech, prais-
ing the work of the body and its founder.
Walter Pritchard also spoke highly of the
sergeant-at-arms and of the good derived
from the Shortridge Senate. Edwin Friend
read well-prepared speech at the begin
ming of which he sent a few grossly sar-
castle remarks in the direction Of the young
men mentioned before about the usual
manly conduct of s. H. s. audiences"
Other members of the body were to speak
but they were unable to attend.
Miss Laura nonnan was given warm re-
ception when she arose to thank the Sen
ate for its appreciation of her work dur
ing the fifth of a century when IL has stood
at the head of Shortridge organizations.
She showed emotion as she recalled the
days when the body was in its infancy and
told of the strong characters she had seen
glowing tribute to the members of the
Senate and predicted a most brilliant future
for the young solons of the Shortridge
High School Senate.
