A GOOD LETTER

The following letter from Hon.
Fitz Hugh McMaster, Insurance
Commissioner, is greatly apprecia-
ted by the officers, stockholders and
policy holders of the first legal re-
serve Life Insurance Company ever
organized in South Carolina.
Columbia, S. c.,
May IA, 1913.
Mr. T. o. Lawton, Manager,
Southeastern Life Insurance Co.,
Greenville, S. G,
Dear Sir
had occasion recently to review
in part the progress of insurance
since I nave been Insurance Com
missioner.
Twas struck with the fact that,
when l became Insurance Commls-
sioner, the Southeastern Life had
total assets of about $4,000. 1t
has now assets of abort s3sO,o00,
practically increasing 200 per cent.
in four years.
When | realize that all OF these
assets are invested in South Caro-
lima securities and that every dollar
you spend for officers salaries and
expenses is spent in South Carolina,
can but real re the excellent work
you are doing in South Carolina in
keeping this money in the State
which would otherwise go beyond
it's borders, part of it never to re-
turn. The people of South Caro-
lima should appreciate this fact.
Very truly,
(Signed) F. H. McMaster,
Insurance Commissioner.
(Note: Since the statement to
Insurance department the assets
have increased to $3.50, o,ooo.oo

George Kunkle'5 lecture on THE

full house at the Sullivan building on
Sunday afternoon.
The lecturer declared that true
history of the commune had never
been written, as all accounts have
been written by The capitalist class
in their o7n interest, in substantial
tion of which he quoted very widely
from an eye witness.

Bismarck had taken 10000
French prisoners. which he released
for the purpose of aiding the French
people to overthrow the commune"
said Mr.. Kunkle The magnificent
courage of the communists has no
equal in history. and they could not
have been overthrow in their strike
for liberty. except for the treachery
of the released prisoners. and the
incompetence and over-consciousness
of the committee who had charge of
the management of the commune.

munists the real carnage began, and
$4,000 men, women and children
were slaughtered and thousands
were exiled.

La Toilette, in advocating the repeal

the right of the employees of the pos

speech with the following state
ment:
The impression has been given
out that the American Federation
of Labor is an organization that ac-
complishes its ends by means of
strikes. but the American Federation
of Labor has no authority to declare
strikes. IL does not assume any ju-
risdiction over trade affairs. 1t is
simply congress of the different
ed Statestrade unions of the United
States. Each trade union has COM
plete trade autonomy. Each trade
deals with its own trade disputes
without interference by any other
trade or by the American Federation
of Labor. Affiliatlon with the Amer

lean Federation of Labor would not
IN any manner tend toward creating
strikes or strike conditions. On the
contrary, when any trade organiza-
tions brings its grievances TO the
attention Of the American Federation
or Labor, II only does so for counsel
and advice. And it has been the in
variable practice of the officials of
the American Federation of Labor to
ADVISE the trade affected to exhaust
All other means to adjust their dis
pEtes before resorting to strikes.
The American Federation of Labor
Is great organization, having great
responsibilities. and there is nothing
which tends more toward conserva-
tism In handling trade disputes than
responsibility. 1t follows, then. that
affiliation with the American FEEDER

TO produce strikes, has tendency
TO prevent them 1t is a well known
tact TO students of the, labor move
ment that labor organizations have
prevented more strikes than they
nave ever authorized. In the host
organized industries in the United
States trade disputes are generally
adjusted by mutual conference This
iact does not become generally
known, while the strikes, being the
exception, rather than the rule, at
tract attention, and from that throws
the assumption that labor organiza-
tions are institutions created for the
purpose of promoting strikes. The
assumption that because a trade
union affiliated with the American
Fed c i ::!sen of Labor il would he
compelled to engage in a sympathet-
ic strike in order 70 assist some OF, .
er labor organization whenever il
wtas deemed advisable by the Amer
lean Federation of labor is mis-
apprehension Of the facts. The
American Federation of Labor has
no power to authorize or order one
trade organization to strike in SYM
pathy with and for the assistance of
another. No trade organization can
be ordered on strike except with the
consent OF Its own members, and. the
laws Of the trade unions very fire.
1rently REQUIRE that the vote of the
members of the union necessary to
authorize a strike must he two
thirds or the entire membership"
