TO APPEAL HATTERS' CASE.
American Federation of Labor to Fight
Big Award to Employers.

American Federation of Labor to Fight
Big Award to Employers.
President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor has an
nounced that an appeal will immedi-
ately be taken from the decision of the
United States circuit court at Hart
ford, Conn, awarding Loewe & Co. of
Danbury, Conn, $250,000 damages
against the United Hatters of North
America. The verdict was for $4,000
and costs. Under the Sherman anti
trust law this award will be trebled,
making the total amount of the fine
$4,000, the costs being set at S10,-
600. The total sum assessed against
the union is therefore S250,000.
President Gompers said that If APP
peals to the federal court of appeals
and United States supreme court fail

congress- We believe" he continued,

meant to includ, such voluntary asso-

but for the protection of the workers.
THE Democratic platform held the
same view in its platform of 1908 and
reaffirmed it in its platform of 1912.
The trusts which the Sherman law is
formed to regulate are selfish organi-
cations, selfish in the business sense,
while the labor unions are formed to
uplift the masses and see that they get
their rights. They want the same
privileges as citizens, which are ac-
corded to them under the American
constitution, as are accorded to the
workers of Great Britain, which is not
a republic. The labor unions are striv-
ing to better the conditions of the
workers, and no one can deny that they
have helped to uplift the workers. The
workers have q right to demand living
wages, and In the case of Loewe &
Co.'S employees, If they had consented
to work under the conditions this firm
wanted them to work under, the condi-
lions of the matters generally would
have gone back.

WORKERS COMPENSATION.
High Rate Does Not Encourage Ma
lingering In Wisconsin.

One of the objections raised to work
mems compensation for accidents is
that it tends to encourage malingering.
Some critics declare that men who are
receiving a percentage of their regu-
lar wages while recovering from an
accident will almost invariably get well
slowly. Experience in Wisconsin. at
least, does not bear out this theory.
The law In that state has been effec-
tive a little more than year, and in
recent report by the states indus
trial commissioner the subject is thus
treated:
THE rate of compensation to loss of
wages-65 per CENTS criticised by
many, particularly by insurance com
panies. 1t is believed by these that
the rate is so high as to encourage
malingerings. So far the experience
of the commission does not Justify this
belief. The compensation should fairly
take the place of loss of wage in or
der that the workman and his family
shall be cared for during his disability.
1t is hard enough for the ordinary work
man to live on his wage, and we feel
assured that there will be little oppOr-
tunity for extravaganza where his
wage is reduced from 100 per cent
during his period of disability"

FREE INSURANCE,
Plan Adopted by the Michigan
Stove Company.
WORKERS PAY NO PREMIUM.

Employees Automatically Become
Beneficiaries of the Scheme Thirty
Days After Their Names Are Placed
on the Payroll of the Firm.
BY reason of the institution Of
sree life insurance plan the Michigan
Stove company is entitled to all the
gratuitous advertising 1t can get with
the hope that other large corporations
will be induced to follow its meritori-
GUS example. The president Of the
company Is an honorary member of
the holders union, 50 we assume that
the concern is operated as a union
shop. The form of life insurance
adopted by the stove company Is
called the group plan and has been
established by one of the leading in
surance companies Of New York with
the object of having employers of la
Dor take out group policies which
would cover all Of their employees,
the Michigan Stove company being
the second corporation to take out a
policy of this character. Single men
are insured in the sum of $3.50 and
married men at $500. In describing
the plan the holders Journal says:
There is no cost whatever to the
workmen. the firm paying the entire
amount Of the premium, and when a
workman has been in the firms en-
ploy thirty days his life is insured
without his having to pay any dues or
cost for medical examination, the fact
of his being an employee emitting him
to the Insurance. When workman
quits the firms employ his name is
automatically dropped from the insur-
ance. and should he be re-empoyed
the insurance begins again automati-
cally.
This form of free life insurance.
which does not place the workman
under any financial or other obliga-
ton, must prove of great practical
benefit to the workmen. and it should
also prove of direct benefit to the

to the workmen by the company as an
evidence of its good will and its de-
sire to be Of service to its workmen."
There is something eminently practi-
cal In the scheme of the Michigan
Stove company. 1t is commended to

late have established "welfare" plans

Wanas and Acciden ta.

A high railway official declared the
other day that carelessness is RESPONSE
BILE for 70 per cent of railway acct
dents. AS remedy he urged the en-
ployment by the railroads of only
competent men. He advocated fed
eral quiz and government license of
every man who would become a rail-
road employee.
The admission that incompetent men
are at present employed and are the
cause of 70 per cent of railway acct
dents is welcome. The suggestion that
none but competent men be given en-
ployment is sensible. The suggestion,
however, to put the government in the
position of judging between the COM
petent and incompetent employee does
not seem called for.
Competent employees want good
wages The wages are paid by the
railroads, not by the government.-Chi-
