SAVINGS BANKS NOW INSURE
~ 200.
Policies Amount to 100000 After
Five Years Trial of System.

Boston.-In 1907 was effected the
passage of the law establishing saw
ings bank life insurance, and it was
prophesied then by critics of the pro.
posed system that no savings bank in
Massachusetts would ever open an in
surance department..
In the five years savings bank life
insurance has grown steadily, until
today there are four savings banks
with insurance departments and four
teen other savings banks which are
public agencies.
More than 200 agencies have been
established in factories, shops and
mills, for the benefit of the employees,
and this cooperation of business men
has been most helpful. There are
now more than ZOO policies in force
with insurance to the amount of nearly
$3,0O0,000.
The record of these five years, il
is claimed, proved the stability, securl
ty and permanency of savings bank
life insurance, and made clear that its
slogan, Best Insurance at loves
Cost" is no idle boast.

sLAMEs UNIONS FOR NEW HAVEN
WRECK.
c. L. Bardo, Central Manager, Is Scored
by Union Official.

Bridgeport.-What was described as
the growing menace of the unions,
through their power to enforce work
ing conditions on their employers, be-
came the feature of the interstate
commerce commissions investigation
into the cause of the Stamford wreck
of the Boston express on the New Ha.
ven road in which six persons met
death.
The attack on the unions was
launched by c. L. Bardo, general man
ager of the road. He had listened to
condemnation by experts from the
Pennsylvania railroad, the Lackawan
ma road and the Westinghouse Ali
Brake company of railroad methods
under his personal supervision.
When Mr.. Bardo had ended his at
tack and had expressed hope that
the wreck at Stamford would teach
the unions to let railroad managers
run the roads, defender of the unions
arose. This man was Fred S. Evans
general chairman of the Union of Lo
connective Engineers employed on the
New Haven.

try has sought and seen its path in
this matter within the last few years
sees II more clearly now than II ever
saw ii befoTe-much more clearly than
when the last legislative proposals on
the subject we're made. We must have
a currency, not rigid as now, but read
lily, elastically responsive TO sound
credit, the expanding and contracting
credits of everyday transactions, the
normal ebb and flow OF personal and
corporate dealings. Our banking laws
must mobilize reserves; must not per-
few hands of the monetary resources
of the country or their use for specu-
lative purposes in such volume as TO
hinder or impede or stand in the way
of other more legitimate, more fruit
full uses. And the control of the sys-
TEN of banking and of issue which our
new laws are to set up must be public,
not private, must be vested in the
Government itself, so that the banks
may be the instruments, not the mas
tiers, of business and of individual
enterprise and initiative.
The committees of the Congress to
which legislation of this character is
referred have devoted careful and dis
passionate study to the means of ac-
complishing these objects. They have
honored me by consulting me. They
are ready to suggest action. I have
come to you, as the head of the Gov

ORDERS BALL
SIGNALS REMOVED
Massachusetts, Railroad Commission.
Acts in Lawrence Collision.


Boston.-As a result Of the collision
at South Lawrence on June 3, between
two trains of the Boston & Maine rail-
road, the State Board of Railroad COM
missioners has ordered that company
to take Immediate" steps TO replace
the existing ball" signal with such
form of interlocking signal as the
board may apI owe. The board also
recoI mends to all railroad companies
operating in the Commonwealth that
prior to July 1, 1914, they replace the
ball signals with such other type as
may be approved by the board.
The board finds that the South
Lawrence accident was traceable di
rectly to the use of such signals. 1t
says:
Ball signals governing movements
of trains were installed in the early
days of railroading when tracks were
few n number and trains infrequentIy
operated. Since that time the traffic
has increased to such proportions as
to require the adoption of a more
modern type of signal and these bal.
signals have been replaced until at
the present time comparatively few
are to be found in use within the
Commonwealth"

STATES UPHELD IN RATE CASES
Supreme Court Follows Principle in
Minnesota Decision.

Washington. - Following the prin-
ciple laid down by Justice Hughes in
the Minnesota rate case, the Supreme
Court disposed of fourteen other sep.
arate rate cases nearly all of them in
favor of the States.
The cases decided involved the ac-
tons of the State authorities in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Oregon and West Vir-
ginia in fixing two-cent passenger or
other rates. In only three of the four
teen separate cases disposed of were
the State made rates condemned as
confscatory. Counting the Minnesota
cases decided last Monday, the rates
fixed by the State Commissioners or
State Legislatures in only four cases
out of seventeen have been overruled
on the ground of being confiscatory.
The decisions laid down no new
principles except in the additional
light thrown on what the Supreme
Court regards as the proper way OF
making physical valuations of rail
road properties.
The Court adjourned until October
without announcing decision in the
inter-mountGin case or passing on ap
plication for the review of the Comp
s-Morrison-Mitch contempt d
court case.

More Laws Than Ever in
His History of Bay State
Enacted i'm Recent Session of Legisla.
ture, Ten Over Governors VetOes

Boston.-The result Of the six
months session of the General Court
is, among other things, SS2 new acts
and 1873 resolves. OF this number,
ten have gone on the statute books
despite the objections Of his excel
lency and twelve without his sigma
ture.
The gross result is the enactment
of more laws this year than in any
other year in the history of the Gen
eral Court.
In spite of the fact that the COVER
nor and the Legislature have fire.
Quently disagreed on the merits of this
or that proposed piece of legislation,
only eight bills have been passed
over his vetoes. In the other twenty
four instances either the House or the
Senate-more otter the latter branch
has sustained him The vetoed bills
which have become laws in spite Of
his objections are as follows:

Brookline; $3.50 a day wage for the
employees of the metropolitan park
and sewerage systems; bill TO estab'
lish the Office and salary of the

resolve to increase the salary of the
chaplain of the State reformatory; re
solve to increase the salaries of the
officers. of the Boston municipal civil
courts; the 9-in-11 hour bill for the
street carmen and the salary increase
measure for the district police before
the House.
Two measures have attracted espe
cial attention, the Washburn bill, so
called, creating Public Service Com
mission with mandatory powers o.
control over the railroads, telephone
companies, and the western trolley
merger bill, permitting the New HaveI
road to acquire the franchises ant
property of a network of street rail
ways, stretching from Milford to the
New York boundary, also giving the
New Haven the authority to con
struct S5,000,O00 of new trolley lines

BOSTON & MAINE
WILL RAISE FARES
Boost viii Cost Travellers Thousands
of Dollars.

Boston-An advance in the passen-
ger traffic rates on the Boston &
Maine, which will cost the travelling
public thousands of dollars went into
effect Monday, to points west of Bos-
ton.
The increase in rates is from 1 TO 4
cents on each single fare. Not only
does the increase affect the single
fares to and from Boston, but single
fares from intermediate stations on
the Central Massachusetts and the
Fitchburg divisions.
1t is believed to be the opening wedg0
for a general increase in passenger
traffic, not only through Massachu-
sets, but all over the Boston and
Maine system.
Similar action is expected soon to
points in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont, and throughout the Maine
Central system in Maine.
In every instance the rates are in.
creased to an amount Invisible by FIVE
thus eliminating the use Of pennies.
In making the increased tariff SEIZED
ules the rates to those stations which
are already Invisible by five have not
been boosted.
According to the new schedule
which takes effect simultaneously with
the summer running schedule today
the patrons of the Central Massachu
sets are hit hardest as the fares tc
every station on that division from
Boston to Northampton are boosted.

provisions of this law no child unde'

Then there is the fifty-four-hour

In the effort to protect the public

of 1913 has written into the statute
books these important laws: Prohibl.

eggs; prohibition of the manufacture

percent of water and 10 percent
of cereal; prohibition of the sale
of unwholesome food prohibition
of the sale of candy containing delete
