STRIKE INSURANCE IS ONE
OF LATEST FORMS OF RISKS

Strike insurance is one the recent
things in the insurance line. 1t is
founded on the principle applied by
the labor unions when they agree to
support members in a given city or
district while a strike is on. y num-
ber of manufacturers in this vicinity
are carrying strike insurance. one
concern in Davenport, the employees
of which went out, being recently
benefited in this way.
1t has become a proverb in insUr-
ance that Lloyd's, of London. will in
sure against anything. 1t has issued
policies before the birth of children.
insuring them against being crippled
or deformed, inSures the druggist
against the wrong prescription
clerk, and anything else. But the in
surance men have been unable to
agree on what would be the proper
premium for insurance against a
strike loss.
The Strike Inter-Insurance com
pany. of Louisville. KY, thinks it has
solved the problem and is issuing pol
icies for $4,000 indemnity, at the price
of $50 year. As fast as 26 policies
ar taken the HolueTS are pidCeO III
n class by themselves and share each
others strike losses on the mutual
plan. The $50 premium goes TO the
company for expenses.
That this kind of insurance viii
tend to discourage strikes seems like
lv. as the striker is largely shorn of
his power if the employer can sit in
his Office and draw strike insurance
as long as his men are out.

three methods suggested to extend our
foreign trade, and discussed less pro-
lection and reciprocity with a few
words. He then referred TO the sub
sidization of the Pacific railway, and
the subsidiZatiOn of river and lake
traffic by improvements of rivers and
harbors, and added: If we ever Sc
cure the trade of the countries to
which 1 have referred, we will first
secure regular lines of communication
with these countries, and if we ever
secure these lines assistance must be
afforded. Who of you, owning a
steamship, would divert it from par
ticipation in transatlantic commerce
where there is much to be done, and
send it on regular trips to countries
where We have little or no commerce?"
