SOUTHERN INSURANCE
COMPANIES PROGRESS
Commissioner Wright Issues
Report

Atlanta, August 20-Figures filed in
the office of State Insurance Commits
'sioner w. A Wright at the capitol, in
GLIDING the semi-annual reports of fire
insurance companies doing business in
Georgia, show that Southern institu-
tons have made splendid progress
during the past year and are continu-
ing to achieve a. strong and healthy
growth.
General conditions in this section o.
the country are reflected by the re
ports of the fourteen respective COM
panies forming the Association of
Southern Fire Insurance companies.
These companies represent an aggre-
gate capital of 50, 100000, and assets of
over $6,00O,0O0. The reports to the
state department reflected strength
and progressive growth. H. r. BUSH
of Greensboro, N c., is president OF
this organization; ]. j. Mckay of Ma
con is vice president, and Charles A.
Bickerstaff of Atlanta is secretary and
treasurer.
Southern companies located in Geor-
gia will renew their efforts to get the
state law amended so as to permit
them to invest in stocks and other
stable securities. The present law is
said to discriminate unnecessarily
against Southern companies.

The MuIhaII Revelations,

For years we have from time to time
mentioned the vituperative attacks
made upon organized labor by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
under the leadership Of Parry, Post,
Van Cleave and Kirby. The vindic-
tiveness of these men would naturally
lead us to expect them to go to ex-
tremes, but we were hardly prepared
for the revelations of Martin NJ Null
hall, who appears to have been en-
ployed by the manufacturers to lobby
against labor legislation, to defeat con.
gressmen and senators who favored
labor legislation and to elect candi-
dates favorable to employing interests
and to spend money for bribery and
other purposes in connection with the
same. These serious charges are de-
MED by the Manufacturers association,
but they seem to be supported by doc
umentary evidence and particularly by
correspondence which Mulhall is turn
ing over to the investigating commit
tee of the United States senate. Before
the investigation is over there Is prom

Bishop FaIlows Says They Are Needed
to Protect Workinqmen.

Bishop Samuel Fallows, in the course
of recent sermon delivered in Chi
cago championed labor unions. THE
Right Perspective" was the subject of
Bishop Fallows' address. He said in
part:
The writer of the book of Ecclesi-
lstes says. The wise man discerneth
words. he has right perspective of
men and things. He will see them in
their proper relations. He will not
magnify relations. He will not mag
nifty nor distort conditions. He will
have common sense and be just in his
nte nor belittle. In all disputes in which
he must take part he will hear both
sides.
Il have held it to be a fixed fact as
industrial conditions prevail at the
present time that labor unions are alb
soutely necessary for the protection of
the workingmen So it seemed to me
that one Of the most eminent lawyers
of the eastern states. the president of
several large corporations and a man
highly esteemed in educational and
philanthropic enterprises, was not in
possession of right perspective when
delivering a recent commencement adj
dress before leading New England
university.
He said to the more than a thou
sand assembled students: Nothing is
more cruel to honest labor than the
labor union. Its officers have been con-
victed of all the major crimes known
to our laws-setting fire to property,
blowing up bridges, dynamiting build
ings and murdering-on account of re-
fusals to the demands of the union
1.-The highly esteemed orator was
hardly in accord with well known prin-
ciples of logic. He was using the term
labor union to include all labor unions
and officers to include all labor union
officers. In drawing up the indictment,
perhaps just in every particular against
some labor union official, he was con-
demning ali"

A HARD ONE TO ANSWER.
Why Are Not All Workers Members of
Labor Union2

Why Are Not All Workers Members Of
Labor Union7
In the Citizen of recent issue a wei
daughter as asking. Papa, why dc
not all mems join the unionT" After
confessing his own perplexity and hi.
inability to find an answer satisfac
tory to himself he requested one.
1t is not an easy question to answer.
When it is asked why are not al
men angels or why do not the rich
men give away their money it is easy
to answer, for it is we'll understood
that all men are selfish and very
human.
| But when it is asked why do not mel
get more wages, shorter hours and bet
ter conditions it is puzzle. sure
enough.
The selfish human heart cannot be
the answer, for that would prompt 9
man to better his condition whenever
opportunity offered.
''The other men will do the work
and pay the dues, and will come in on
it without it's costing me anything il
time or money"
Can it be? 1t is hard to believe il
for the reputation of our kind.
That would not be a selfish human
heart 1t would be the heart of a
swine, not of man, which could de-
liberately and unconsciously let Others
put bread into his mouth by struggle
and sacrifice while he stands away
from 1t all.
No: let us for the sake of our CON-
mon humanity find some other reason
1t is better to accuse the head than
the heart.
Some people have not gray matter
enough to see beyond the end of their
noses. The penny they would be com
PEELED to pay in dues crowds out of
sight the five dollar gold piece within
reach of the hand.
The hours time they would spend
bearing the common burden makes
them forget the many hours time they
could gain by taking mans place be-
side their brothers.
Selfishness is one thing. 1t is very
blind. stupid thing.
Self interest is another thing, or the
same thing grown to mans size.
Intelligent self interest is the full
crum which moves the world.
When the brains and hearts of the
workers are grown to full mans stat
ure all men will not only be in a great
worldwide, all embracing union, but
all will vote in solid phalanx, and this
earth will at last belong to all the chill
dren Of men.
Yours is hard question, little one.
But it is being answered by the hard
knocks which make men think
When they think and act you and all
the wee ones like you will be saved
from much that now makes the path
before your feet hard, rough path.

Label League-Endorsed Industrial

A committee of three from the Min
isterial association was present upon
invitation of the Council to consider
controversy over Industrial Welfare
commission. The ministers declared
their sympathy with the intent of the
law and the work of organized labor
as whole and admitted that possibly
action taken by some of the churches
of the city had been too hasty. Re-
GREETED that the commissioners had
not made their public statements more
plain SO that no possible misinterpre-
tation of their remarks could have
been given. The ministers were given
respectful hearing and heartily
thanked in the name of the Council
for their willingness to be present.
Organized labor's position upon the
subject of a minimum wage was given
at length by members of the Council.
While recognizing that every protec-
ton possible should be thrown around
the women engaged in industry that
high standard of morality might be
maintained, strong plea for justice
to the woman who had gone wrong
but wanted to reform, was made. 1t
was pointed out that society holds out
no hope to the woman of immoral
character if it bars her from honest
employment at wage adequate to
live in decency and comfort. The
women members of the commission
were warmly defended against the at
tacks made through the columns of
the press.
Charles Perry Taylor, secretary of
the State Federation of Labor was
present and made splendid talk upon
the question under discussion. Taylor
hits straight from the shoulder and he
flayed numerically the double stand
