Every line of Industry 10 the twin
cities, Duluth and Superior, and all
cities of the northwest dependent on the
movement of supplies is seriously sftect-
ed By the strike of the railroad switch

for several days will throw additional

Business men generally are beginning
to feel the resnlt Of the strike. The

groc,rs and commission houses. Whole
sale grocers say that nothirg is moving.
Commission houses are doing nothing
aud their customers in the small towns
who gel their supplies from day to day

tables and fruit.
Some of the larger commission houses
have reduced their working forces sod
will make farther reductions II the strike

Poverty is the chief cause OF crime. Whiskey,
women and cigarettes play their part but poverty is
at the bottom of most crimes for which and wo-
men severely punished by segregation and incar-
ceration-to say nothing of the deprivation OF the
many benefits which go with liberty.
In the United States alone more than six hun
dred million dollars expended annually for police
protection and the maintenance of legal machinery
for the prosecution of offenders against the law
This enormous expenditure is drain upon the body
polite which can 10 large extent be wiped out Dy
the abolition of the principal underlying cause OF
crime, Poverty
One of the principal steps toward eliminating
poverty is the establishment of employment assur
ance societies and the old age pension plan With
these sanitary and beneficial reformatory measures
universally in vogue the underlying foundation OF
theicause of crime will to great degree be removed
Poverty puts more in Jail than anything else.
The rich criminals the criminal rich generally
immune from ails and prisons and this makes the bur-
den the body politic still harder to bear.
With poverty reduced, the halfmllion persons
in America insjails, .prisons and peniteniaries will
be greatly and the benefits which the people
as whole will derive from that result will be of in
calcuable benefit to all concerned.

EUROPEANS are establishing insurance compa-

ment to those who labor for wages. These associa-
tons are established on the order of the familiar
building and loan societies, but employers we'll as
employees contribute to the general fund.
Members of these employment insurance socie-
ties are granted sick benefits while i'll and in of
death certain sum in the form of an annuity goes
to the benefciaries- widow, mother other de-
pendents of the deceased. Old age pensions also
provided for, but the principal object of these
ployment societies to keep their members
employed. If an active member by any c n t
loses his position the society to which he belongs
Immediately hastens to obtain another place for the
one out of work. In the meantime, while employment
is being sought the member is not permitted to suf
fer for the necessities of life-nor his dependents
Wherever tried out the plan has worked we'll with

ulated with hookworms and join the lazybug branch
of the organization thus putting the society too often
to the necessity of supporting such members in idle
ness, but perhaps this will in time be by
dropping the habitua joblosers from the rolls This
feature is the most perplexing one to deal with.
However, in time it will be overcome in some way
and plan will be put into practice which will para
