have an even deeper signincance anu bring about a closer union between the North and the South.
 "Of course the Congress has prac- tical and commercial aspects. says one of these men, but there lies in the mind of the originator an ethical purpose looking towards a fuller -un- ,ierstanding and union between those who have for a generation suffered from misunderstanding and seem- ing separation of interests"
 Mir. Dave in his letter suggests that the attainment of fuller understand ing between the South and other parts of the country would have its effect fin betterinE business conditions in the South also. He writes:
 .aThe Southern Commercial Con- gress is also intended as a means of combating hindering prejudices that exist against the South in beth North ern and Eastern States. We have fen that sucn prejudices are most easily removed by personal contact, and we shall therefore work to have present on December and a thousand or 1,500 leading business men of the South who will later stay to partici- pate in the deliberations of the Ma tlonal Rivers and Harbors Corg ss and also be present in Washington to receive inspiration from the reports to the National Conservation Com mission"
 Beyond all this we feel that the presence of our solid business men in meetings made up largely of solid bus mess men of the North and East will act as a guarantee and pledge of bus mess mems participation in further po- litical affairs of the South and thus guarantee safety to investors"
 To Expand All Interests.
 Many of the men who are most ac- tive in organizing this Southern Com mercial Congress have for long time been preaching that the South should not only develop it's agriculture to a higher degree of efficiency bu that 1t Is time for the men of that part of the country to take more energetic meas ures to expand their manufacturing and business interests. They believe that the attendance of a large num- berI of the most enterprising men of the Southern States at the conference between the National Conservation Commission and the State Governors or their representatives will lead to a fuller realization of the immense natural resources of the South.
 In this connection they cite a recent report by the Geological Survey which stated that there is a minimum of about 2,S00.000 indicated horsepower developed by the rivers riisng in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. half of which, at the very least, could be utilized for power. So far hardly enough has been developed to make an appreciable showing compared with the enormous possibilities. Full deveI- opment of storage facilities in these river basins would increase the horse power from three to thirty times. ac- cording to the experts. But taking the minimum of 100000 horse power, it's rental at $20 per horsepower per year would amount to an annual return of $2S.000.O00.
 Water power is much cheaper than fuel power and will become more and more so as the available supply of fuel is depleted. This means that the

 Conservation Commission.
DISCUSSION OF RESOURCES

Washington, Oct. 3.-(SpeciaL)- )-The National Conservation Commission has received word that at least thousand of the leading business men of the South will be present in Wash ington when the Commission holds its first full meeting here early in Decem- Der.
 from G. Grosvenor Dave, Secretary of the Montgomery, Ala, Commercial Club. who tells of a meeting of the representatives of numerous business associations in the Southern States, held in Atlanta.
 These men formed a working or- ganization, and, after receiving as- surances of support from commercial bodies all through the South issued a call for Southern Commercial Con- gress The time and place were set so that the members can be in Wash ington during the first meeting of the Conservation Commission of Decem- Der 1, the Conference between the Commission and the Governors of the States or their representatives which follows. on December 8, and the meet ing of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress which will be held here dur Ing that time. in the proceedings of all of which the men who will com pose the Southern Commercial Con gross are intensely interested from business standpoint.
 Purpose of Meeting.
 The chief purpose of the Southern CTS in holding their big meeting is, in the words of one of the originators. s'the provoking of fuller understand ing by the people of the South of the gifts that nature has placed under their control"
 sBut, without discounting the vital importance of promoting the business interests of their section of the coun- try, the promoters of this Congress in Washington say they hope that it will

wAGEwoRKERs' INSURANCE.
Novel Experiment Being Tried by a Manu-
 featuring Company.

Probably comparatively few people out side of insurance circles know that down in Massachusetts they are just trying out a new form of industrial insurance under rig i'd state supervision. which already prom. i,es 10 De boon t. the working people of that commonwealth
 It is the most interesting event in the insurance world since the great New York insurance investiEatien--and it is really an outerowth of the agitation over unfair in- surance methods which commenced at the time or that historic inquisition.
 under recently enacted law the State or massachusetts now issues to any saving bank In that State a license to issue life insurance for the benefit of workingmen and their families at actual cost. The law cuts out all selling expenses in connection with life insurance and offers to the workman protection for his family to an annuity against old age The law requires that ev- cry cent paid in by policy holders must be used for their benefit. with all the interest 1t earns in addition
 :. The experiment of wageworkers' insur ance at cost Is being watched with keen interest particularly by the officers of tho large private insurance companies It Is admitted by them that wageworkers' insur- ance is necessary thing and that stata savings banks. under the protection of the State and without cost for agents and oth- CT expenses. can furnish it for great deal less than their companies, but they claim that the average American workman will not appreciate the advantage of the new law and that it will not be practical hy reason of the ignorance and improvidenca of the wageworksr.
 The Regal Shoe Company does not agree with this indictment of the American work ing .man. It believes that so far as its own operatives are concerned, they will understand what State Life Insurance means and will take advantage of 1t. The first license for savings bank insurance was is- sued to the whitman Savings Bank on June 13, through the efforts of MT. E. J. Bliss. Treasurer and Managing Director of the Regal Shoe Company. and that bank was able to announce its savings insurance and annuity department.
 All indications thus far point to the com plete success of the venture The Regal Shoe Company has inaugurated. vigorous campaign of education among it's workmen by the issuing of series of leaflets, pre- sentinR in n brief but forceful manner the necessity for life insurance to the wage earner and his family. By this and other methods the question of wageworkers' in- surance has been brought home to It's em- nIoves in A direct and convincing manner, not alone for the benefit of its own work men but because the future protection TOT American workingmen's families now rests largely with the workingmen Of whitman

demand for water power will increase. These Southern business men foresee great manufacturing future for their section and are determined to instil their ideas into the minds of others. They point ou. also that the usefulness of these rivers can be in- creased not only for manufacturing, but for transportation.
 The improvement of the lumber bus mess and of the allied industry of turpenting has also received much att tention from them. In some States, they say there are very rich mineral deposits which might be worked with great profit
