SICK INSURANCE LAW
AMENDED IN NORWAY
Parliament Accedes to Trade
Union Demands Relative to
Arbitration Boards.

CHR1STIANIA, Norway, July ST.
The Norwegian parliament has decid-
ed unanimously to accede to the petit
ton Of the Trade Union National CEN
ter, and the central organization of
the employers, containing a demand
for the postponement of the discuss
sion of the government propositions
in connection with Cancellation and
arbitration boards during strikes or
labor conflicts. The postponement
was demanded for one year.
The government declared to be
agreeable to the adjournment, but ex-
pressed its doubts as to whether the
two organizations, usually 50 antag-
onistic toward each other as those of
the workers and the employers, would
succeed in drawing up any positive
proposals. The government dare not
depart from its principles in this mat
ter, but 1t IS, however, prepared to:
make some practical suggestions in
connection with the proposal.
Inc Norwegian government has
submitted certain amendment pro-
posals to parliament in connection
with the sick insurance law, thereby
complying with the demand of the.
representatives Of the organized sick
fund, for the special amendment Of
three clauses Of the insurance law.
Inc government. now proposes that,
as these demands have considerably
affected the calculations worked out
IN connection with the scheme, the
maximum income under which insur-
ance shall become. compulsory, shall
be raised from 1900 kronen to 1,40O
kronen in the country, ond from ], 800
to 1900 kronen in the city q krone
equals Is 2d). At the time 1t shall
be agreed that in the case Of a. guar
antee being given that full wages
shall be paid for three months during
illness, compulsory insurance shall
not be enforced. The facilities for
voluntary insurance shall be extended.

CITY OWNERSHIP? NOT YET.

Of acquiring city owned electric lighting plant
Have the commissioners forgotten the fate of the
last council? Do they not know that it was the in
activity of that body of sixteen aldermen that fastened
the commission form of government In Duluth?
We do not expect the commissioners to devote all
of their time to the electric lighting question There
are other things equally important demanding their
attention, but they have direct mandate from the
people on this matter and reasonably expect
that the legal department of the city be instructed
begin work clearing such legal obstacles that
prevent the city from building purchasing it's
lighting plant. Surely this is not unfair request
Can the commissioners, those elected municipal
ownership PLATFORM longer afford to delay action?
Gentlemen get busy. It is up to you. The law
enforcement question has been settled. There are
few of us who believe that the temperance question
be overpayed at the expense of other mighty
important public questions, and municipal ownership is
of them.
Commissioner Hicken to have the rough edges
worn from his public safety machine saloon men I'M
derstand what will happen to them if they violate the
law owners of houses heretofore used for immoral
poses know that to open again practical
scaton of property and they will chances. Mr.
Hicken needs watching, and reason
for keeping the people at fever heat law enforce
ment, unless it be to divert attention from municipal
ownership.
All that it requires is the passage of a resolution
giving the authority to the legal department
to again set municipal ownership going. When this
shall have been done will let up the commissioners
and with reasonable patience await the report of the
city attorney.

MILITIA TO BREAK STRIKE


The governor of Michigan awaited for the merest
to protect' the property of the richest and the
profitable copper mine in the world.
And this is not ALL When the chesty officers of the
Wolverine states tin soldiers had their lined up
they Commanded" the mine start at once to
the mines.
Usually the pretense is made that the militia is
wanted during strikes only to protect life property
But whose life and property: Not the workngmens,
for they usually shot in the by some ratified
hafbaked soldier and most of the property includ
ing the highways for miles about mining camp, was
owned by the company, the excuse for shooting was
that the workingmen trespassing companys

In the present copper country strike, however, the
militia officers trife frank than most men
of their profession They do not conceal the fact that
they at the of the strike for something
than to protect life and property, and that somethng
more is to help the mine break the strike
crush the workingmen.
And in their opinion this to be the function
of citizen soldiery. Labor has for years made this
claim against the militia and it's officers and privates
have persistently denied it, But the action Of the
Michigan military officials indicates that labor was not
mistaken.
The late Governor Waite of Colorado at one time
used the state militia during strike, and he showed
no partially to mine owners miners The lives and
property of both held equally sacred That strike

DO THE CORPORATIONS WANT 1T?

Public service corporations in Minnesota are maxi
ing final fight for their future security by seeking the
passage of state public utilities commission law OF
this there is doubt
And is it not passing strange that during Governor
Eberhars politics this is the first time he has
taken positive position legislation of farreachng
economic import? On the initiative and referendum he
silent, that is until the opening of the last egs
atve session after member of the lower house had
been pledged by organized labor to the principle On
the recall of public officials he hadn't word say.
On railroad legislation he veritable clam, and
every other species of legislation in which there
clash between the people and the special interests
he has invariably been a negative quantity.
State regulation of public utilities sounds progress
i've, very progressive for it not LaFoette of Wis
consin and Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, who gave
impetus to this movement in their respective sates
However, there is not city in Wisconsin but would
prefer to get out from under the state regulation Of
their street railways water and electric lighting
systems Our sister city of Superior found it
to to the legislature to the passage of
aiding act to permit her to the street railway
dissatisfied has she become of state regulation.
Then too we in Minnesota have been granted more
home rule in cities than cities in Wisconsin or New
Jersey enjoy We have arrived at point in city
governments when we have learned how to compel our
public services corporations to be servants rather
than matters, they long have been. The
nation of city is of the hope
full signs of the times
And it is just this reformation that is compelling
the public utilities to seek refuge behind gov
eminent, not that the is reaconary but its
chinery is intricate it will require much more
tape to reach state commission than latter day
councils with the people safeguarded by such
the initiative, the referendum and recall
Give the cities the to control public
ice corporations that is proposed give state public
utilities commission and every osensibe purpose of
ernor Eberhart will be served, and in that
will breathe the spirit of true democracy.
