BURDENS Of WAR FALL
ON SHOULDERS OF TO|lERs
BY the United Press.

Philadelphia. Nov. 9--The 2,o20,-
I'll members OF the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor were ur%s BY
the executive council in its annual
report to the convention here this
afternoon to begin to form an inter
national society to prevent forever
another war.
Convinced that the greatest bur
deus Of the European war are failing
upon the shoulders of the toilers the
council declared: THE working
people. the masses Of the world 8
population, can end wars if they
but have the independence to think
and to give their convictions realty
by daring TO do. Wars will cease
only when society is convinced that
human life is really sacred and when
society establishes agencies, inter
national, as we'll as national for pro-
tecting lives The officers declar-
ed the convention must adopt some
constructive plan to stop warfare.
The great growth Of the federation
was reported in the annual state

tary. Since the meeting a year ago.
he said 62.SS2 labUrers have joined

anything great. To cite just one
thing they accomplished during the
past year, Secretary Morrison point

recognized rule OF modern warfare
that unarmed ships of the enemy
cannot be sunk unless all souls
aboard are rescued. Won Tirpitzs
proposition, however, Is to make sub
marine raids against these trading
vessels and torpedo them as war
ships are torpedoed, sending all
souls to the bottom.
Only a condition of desperation can
explain a suggestion OF this char
acter being made by the responsible
head OF the German navy. 1t Is a

Eest that such an outcome would be
more beneficial to the British than

TO compel England to abandon her
desire for a finish fight Is apparently
the chief object of German strategy.
Won Tirpitz speaks OF Germany's
ability to keep the war going as long
as England desires. but his words
seem shaded by a spirit of despera-
ton.
He suggests. sternly, that IL Eng

have to protect herself regardless OF
means. but simply in accordance
with the first law OF nature The
English must be terrorized into rea-

that he contemplstes topedoing sew

that others would not venture to ap-

not one of those who clamor for the

considers it possible. / gather that
he is opposed to an aerial invasion

| greSsors in the campaign for a higher
| rate in Washington. Companies doing
business only in the District were most
| deeply affected by the rate war, since
| they could not offset their losses by
business elsewhere.
The overhead charge for local COM
pany. it was pointed out. is almost as
great as that of the larger companies,
| without the compensation of the great
| er volume of business. Therefore, tho
| strictly local agents claim the rates
should be adjusted so they can make a
profit
In answer to this. an agent for a
large company 10 which Washington
d lsineSs is only an incident. pointed
out that the purely local company IN
any city has the cream OF the business.
He quoted figures to show that the loss
es sustained by outside companies hal
been greater over a period OF ten years
than the losses of those companies do
ing only a Washington business.
One agent pointed to the large dis
count rate for long-term insurance al
Flowed under the present schedules as
proof positive that rates were too high.
He said:
When you charge a man a certain
rate for one year, but offer to give
him five years insurance for the
price of three. il is an admission,
on the face of il, that your initial
rate was 100 nltrll- bnueT lile ne"
schedule, that not only is done,
but three years insurance is given
for the price or two years
premiums.
A more equitable way of doing
business would be to make the initial
rate lower. and lessen the discount.
A large company can well afford to
do business in Washington for 10
cents on brick dwellings, and give
long-term insurance at the rate OF
three years for two and half, and
five years for four. That is a rea-
sonable discount. Any more is eX-
cessive. and indicates the first rate
was too high.
Forecast Rate-Cutting.
Several agents remarked that they
had as yet signed no agreements and
did not intend to. The formation of
the Underwriters Association, they say,
was done through the initiative of their
home Offices. Agents freely predict that
rate-cutting under the present schedule
will soon begin, and that such q cut
ting virtually will mean return to
the old rate war. and thus defeat the
purpose for which the Underwriters
Association was formed.

the Federal League roster are more
populous on the whole, and with the
exception of New York, than those
of the National and American
Leagues were at the time OF their in
ception.
AS for New York, II he Federal
League should become successful, It
ought to break into New York with
a roar
There is no place on earth where
the people follow the leader like a
bunch of sheep more unanimously
and more spontaneously than New
York. There is golden shower
awaiting the Federal League in New
York If ii makes good elsewhere,
even. perhaps. II the Giants continue
permanently at the top and the Yam
KEGS improve sufficiently to give New
York first class baseball every day
in the season.
Plenty of big League" Cities.
But New York is unnecessary to
make the Federal League successful.
There is enough baseball money in
the other cities to support a big
league.
Notice that the Federals propose to
invade only three old big league cit
ies-Chicago, st. Louis and Pittsburg.
In Chicago Charles Webb Murray has
made a mess of the National League
for n long time. He has been look
ing for trouble. It's coming to him.
In St Louis-which used to be one
OF the best baseball cities In the
United States and where the public's
money flower like water into the
clubs coffers-the magnates of both
major league teams have been killing
the goose that laid the golden egg
for so long that it ought to be a cinch
for somebody to walk into the city
with a good baseball attraction and
skim off the cream without a nights
worry.
Pittsburg Ripe for Feds.
Plttsburg has seemed ripe for two
teams for a long time. Every year
the magnates have thought seriously
of transferring the American Detroit
franchise to Pittsburg, 1t appears
that there is capital behind the Fec
eral League movement in Pittsburg.
Now consider the other five cities.
Baltimore and Buffalo used to have
big league clubs and supported them.
They were, and are. not particularly
less baseball mad than such cities as
Cleveland, Washington, Detroit and
Cincinnati are. Kansas City and In
dianapolis are much larger than many
big league cities were when the old
major leagues were organized. To-
ronto is a live, thriving. active, up
tot date American municipality.
There is no question OF the popu-
lation being sufficient to support big
league teams.
