Waiting for Reconsideration.

Advices from Fort Worth, Texas state
it is believed that the refusal of the
Texas railroad commission to rescind It's
rulings on the Rock Island Central
trackage proposition is the reason for
the delay in announcing the transfer of
the Central to the Rock Island. The
formal announcement of the deal has
been delayed, it is said, while northern
and eastern officials who control the
roads are waiting to see if the commits
sion will not reconsider it's position. If
it fails to do so, it is thought likely the
deal will be at an end.

'Does a union man violate the man
dates of trade unionism when he allows
his wife to mend a rent in his overcoatE'
This question caused n heated discus
sion in the Central Labor Union in Phil
adelphia, and the decision finally reach
ed was that he does. II also was decided
to fine all organizations which do not
employ regular union men for all work.
The matter was brought up in an argu-
ment as to the right of a union man to
do the work of bartender and waiter
ut an entertainment given by his own
organization. For nearly two hours the
delegates debated the matter. President
Leps argued that 1t was all right for
union men to perform any necessary
work at home, but he was voted down.
He said: Union men have q perfect
right to do gratuitous work of that sort
where there Is no pay. You can do the
work Of other crafts at your home with
out violating any laws of trade unionism.
If l choose to, can hang paper in my
own home, or do any other work. Is a
man a 'scab simply because he allows
his wife to mend a tear on his overcoat
or suit instead of taking it to union

SETBACK TO CHILD INSURANCE.

Indiana Judge Makes a Ruling of Inn
portance to the Companies.
Judge Plummer Of the Wabash Circuit
Court, Wabash, Ind, rendered a decis-
ion in the case of Mary A. Ellis Of that
city against the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company Of New York, which
is of vital interest to insurance com
panies that insure the lives Of children
and to persons who pay for such policies.
Last summer Mrs Ellis insured the life
Of her son, Will Ellis, and paid several
premiums The lad was attacked with
hemorrhage of the lungs and died sud
denly. Mrs. Ellis demanded payment OF
the policy, under which she, as beneh-
ciary, was entitled to 1926. The COM
pany's attorney filed an answer setting
forth that, although young Ellis was not
Of age he was married and had children,
and that the mother received nothing
from him in the way of support, ana
therefore was not pecuniarily interested
in the policy The plaintiff demurred,
and Judge plummer oyerruled the de-
murrer, holding that Mrs. Ellis did not
have an ''insurable interest" in her son;
that the mere fact Of relationship did
not permit her to stand as q beneficiary
under the policy and that Judgment must
be for the defendant. Under this theory
any insurance company which insures an
infant, in law, can successfully defend Il
suit on the policy brought by the parent,
as the mere relationship does not give
a cause of action. 1t is a severe blow to
child insurance companies.
