UNION LABOR INSURANCE.
Steps Being Taken Toward Formation
of New Company.

Steps Being Taken Toward Formation
of New Company.
Cincinnati, May 14.-That q move
ment is under way for the organiza-
ton of life insurance company for
the benefit of union labor developed
during the discussion of insurance in
the convention of the Commercial Tel
egraphers' Union Of America. The
matter is still under Investigation and
it has been left to the telegraphers to
look into the matter Thoroughly and
later report to President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor.
It was asserted during the discus
sion that the old companies are fast
losing the confidence of the public,
the revelations of the recent investi-
CATION having turned away many who
had been firm supporters of the old
companies. It was announced that
all the members Of the labor unions in
America would soon be asked to with
draw from the old companies and to
give their money and their support
exclusively to amalgamate all the la
Dor insurance moneys into one huge
fund and secure protection for all.
The subject has already been pre-
sented to q number of other labor or
carnations and favorably considered
by them.
