CONFIDENCE IN LIFE INSURANCE

One gratifying outcome of the Equitable Life Assur-
companys affairs is sense of relief to millions
of people, The solidy of that great fducary
is beyond question All the extravaganza and
grating disclosed by the investigation made total of
that trivial by the side of the enormous sur
plus. The complete reorganization which is being ef
fected in connection with the safeguards provided for
the future will restoration of public confidence
in the old institution.
Still important, a result of the Equitable
upheava the effect thereof upon the whole life nsur-
business The strenuous experience of the Eouit.
atlo has afforded practical lesson of great value TO
all persons interested life insurance Probably every
life company the United States been subjected to
scrutiny it underwent before as conse.
the lesson will lead to greater care in the future
all along the life insurance line in respect to the safe
guarding of the sacred trust committed to such ns
tutions
The fact that such an enormous surplus could be
piled by the Equitable in spite of the lavish
waste of funds that the research revealed the
possibility of lowering the rates exacted by the big
companies. The president of the Equitable claims
to have reduced the socetys expenses already at the
rate of 100000 year. That saving belongs to the
policy holders and they should have the benefit Of in
a discount on policy payments.
With the restoration of public confidence IN the
Equitable concern and incidentally the increased con-
fdence in other companies, fresh impetus is likely
to be given to life insurance. Companies that satisfy
the public demand for absolute safety aording
of competent and honest management, win find
their business increasing in larger volume than before

DR.. H. w. Forbes and Col. A. B. Shaw
of Des Moines, Iowa, are in the city to
consider proposition from the cham
ber of commerce for the removal to Los
Angeles of 100000 school of osteo-
pathy.
1t is considered desirable by the vis-
itors to remove the school to Southern
California, and the purpose of their
visit is to investigate the advantages
of location for the school and entertain
from cities desiring it.
With the establishment of the school
in Los Angeles would come 125 students
who are now enrolled. The school en-
joys an excellent reputation in the eas.
and it's location in Los Angeles is con-
sidered a strong probability.

NEW LAW MAY
GUT OFF GAS
LOCAL COMPANY CEASES ITS
INSPECTIONS
Homes Now Being Piped Must Wait
Until Council Authorizes City In-
spectors Before Securing
Illumination

BY an amendment to the city build
ing ordinance passed by the council a
week ago, provision is made for city
inspection of all house gas fittings. The
work of inspection has hitherto been
borne by the lighting companies, but
as the city has signified it's intention to
take the work in charge the Los An
geles Gas and Electric company, which
has practically a monopoly of the local
field, will discharge it's two inspectors
August 1.
The city has made no definite ar
rangements for inspection. The gas
company will not connect any house
with it's mains until such has been done,
Are hundreds of homes, which are now
being piped, to be cut off temporarily
from illumination by the action of the
city council and the gas company? The
developments of yesterday show that
such will be the case.
Plumbing Inspector A. A. Bennett
said yesterday that he could not pos
sibly get the new department into
working order before September. He
was surprised to learn that the gas
company would do away with it's in
spection next Monday.
Delay Is Certain
No meeting of the council can take
place for ten days. Even should that
body order immediate action at that
time, delay of several days will en-
sue before even the emergency ap-
pointees can be started to work.
Inspector Bennett said yesterday: II
do not know what we shall do. have
no men, no books on which to make the
records, nothing. Furthermore do not
know at this time what shall require.
The department may need two or three
men. We have no means of knowing
how large a task it is. We can figure
somewhat on the plumbing business,
but for this gas inspection, there may
be thirty jobs or three hundred jobs
each week for all we know. 1t will be
impossible for me to do anything until
the council gets to work week from
next Monday and after that it will
take some time"
The cost of inspection for the average
house will be $3.50, paid by the owners
under the new ordinance which relieves
the gas companies of any responsible
ity. The charges are such as to merely
provide for the maintenance of the de-
partment.

FOR SWEET CHARITY

The rarity of Christian charity" is much less
fitting reminder in the light of such offering The
Herald reported yesterday. The munifcent gift of
$225O00 by nameless donor for the benefit of INDECENT
old people is worthy of than passing attention
The Jealous efforts of the Little Sisters of the Poor
struggling with meager to aid the old and help
less led to the making of that splendid contribution
There is no more commendable field of charity than
the in which found men and women who are
nearing the end of fes journey without the comforts
that make life worth living.
The example set by that giver who in Christian
spirit conceals his her identity should appeal strongly
to the many persons in Los Angeles who blessed
with abundant wealth. With all its great heart and its
readiness to abate suffering and help the needy Los
Angeles is not up to the eastern cities in the
of it's charitable provision There many in
stutons in the city which devoted such work,
but of them, recent investigation shows,
absorbents rather than dispensers Of charity.
The giver of the large sum to aid the noble work
of the Little Sisters of the Poor has made invest
that will yield better returns in the satisfaction
having eminently good deed than is yielded
by all the dividends of the Standard Oil company.

Where's scotty?

Have you seen man named Scotty,
Who went hurting from the west,
With a gold mine in his pocket
And a booze-tank meath his vest?
He hiked cross the sagebrush country
Faster n ever man before;
But he landed in New York, and
We can't find him any moreI
Out here Scotty was wonder,
And he burned $40 bills;
He drank his wine from buckets, and
He put on awful frills;
He went east from Death valley
On a coyote of his own;
But he hit New York, and since then
He has been the Great UnlSnownl
Can't you find that man named Scotty
With his gold mine and his dog?
Can't you lasso him and bind him,
If he isn't ION the hog?
Please to tag him and to ship him
To Death valley, via freight,
For we fear our lavish Scotty
In New York has met his fate!

DECAY OF AMERICAN SKILLED LABOR


The great cotton and wooden mills Of New England
running shorthanded because It is impossible to get
the complement of operators In some OF the mills IT s
possible to only onehslf the time In the great
central city Of the cotton manufacturing industry Fail
River the population has decreased 5000 within the
last year.
Not only in these mills but in all the industries Of
New England there now prevails what is called "a
skilled labor famine" No such condition has been
in the labor history of that part Of the United
States.
The of this anomalous situation is leading sub
ject of discussion eastern newspapers The New York
Commercial, recognized authority in such matters,
attributes skilled shortage in great measure,
the policy of labor unions which systematically and
persstently cut down the number OF apprentices In
practically all the trades" This policy, the CONNER
cia declares may serve keep the present genera
ton of artisans paid and prosperous but it threat
to fill the unions with unsled labor In the future
and thus work a serious injury to their own cause"
It is an unquestionabe fact that the whole aspect
Of the cotton manufacturing industry In the New Eng
land states has changed within few years. Formerly
the operatives nearly all Americans although
there was a liberal sprinking of French Canadians
who attracted by rates considerably higher
than those obtained at home
Now, however, the operatives in these mills are
composed largely Of European NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Poles Russians Portuguese, Greeks, Firms, etc.
classes of people accustomed to working for low
In their native countries In short the American
element is abandoning the industrial field in the New
England statessurrendering to the lowest class of
the foreign element
AS argued by close observers Of labor conditions in
the east the which has produced this situation in
New England will inevitably lead to like results in
other parts of the United States That is to the
deficiency in the volume of skilled labor resulting from
rigid labor union rules concerning apprentices will lead
gradual running out of American skilled labor and
the substitution of immigrant labor from Europe.
In regard to apprentice restriction the Washington
Post says: Some of the best minds in the of
labor have called attention to the danger of such
course they have pointed to the decadence of indus
try in Great Britain which is attributable largely to
this policy on the part of the unions"
The fact is palpabe to all observers of conditions

pursuing the course noted, the unions meaphori
