UNIONS OPPOSED To
HEALTH INSURANCE
~li
Bill in New York Legislature In
troduced By "Uplifters" Bit
terly Attacked.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 23.-Presi-
dent Holland af the state federation
Of labor opposed the Mills insurance
bill at "a hearing before the senate
judiciary committee. A letter from
President Gompers was read in which
the A. T. Of L. executive stated that
the Mills bill was autocratic; that it
would permit government agents to
interfere with the lives of workers;
that state officials might control
trade unions, and no one ever sug-
gests that business men be accorded
this treatment.
The bill was urged by the Ameri-
can Society for Labor Legislation,
whose representatives stated that it
was their purpose to secure the en-
actment of the bill in every state in
the union. Many social workers
fovored the proposal.
President Holland, speaking for the
organized workers of this state, de-
clared that trade unionists resented
the action the trainers of the bill in
not asking for the advise Of workers.
He protested against the provision al
lowing employers to deduct from the
"OIhCAS pay pOA IAO1A VI CHC COoL
of administration and opposed sew
eral administration features of the
bill. 'Thfs< bill was drafted and
given us to eat, but we refuse to eat
it," he said.
The bilkstprovides for compulsory
health insurance for all working men
and women who earn less than 500
a month. A state commission would
have supervision over health associa-
tons in prescribed districts into
which the state would be divided.
The state would pay 20 per cent of
the cost, the remainder to be divided
between the employer and employe.
It is believed that the committee
will recommend that the question of
health insurance be ordered investi-
gated by the legislature and report
made next year.

F|REMEN HAVE $1,000
NAMES ON Petition !
City Commissioners Up Against
Problem of Financing Two
Platoon system. )

City fremen have 5000 names to
their petition for an ordinance to
provide for the two platoon system.
This fact has caused the commission
ers to sit up and take notice. They
recognize that if the proposition goes
to the people it will be passed for
humanitarian reasons, If for no other.
1t Will then be up to the city COM
mlssioners to find a way to finance
the fire department on account of the
additional expense involved.
Commissioner Silberstein called on
the firemen during the week and
asked them to urge the charter COM
mission to recommend to the people
an amendment to the city charter
permitting the commissioners to levy
taxes in excess Of IS mills. The city
commissioners claim that the fire.
men have not requested them to i'm
prove conditions at the fire halls and
they feel somewhat peeved about the
way the firemen have protested.
The firemen say in reply that thew
appointed a committee. to wait on
Commissioner Silberstein and urged
him to grant them more DAYS Off
each week. The commissioner. il ia
said, listened to their plea, but IN
Tar as they know paid no further at
'tentlon to it. They then resolved to
take advantage of the charter pro-
vision, which authorizes the use Of
the initiative in proposed legislation.
Three of the commissioners he
heve, or at least they are trying to
lead the public to believe, that the
two platoon system will double the
present labor cost Of maintaining the
ire department.. The f1remen declare
that the cost will not be doubled.
They maintain that the department
IS now organized for abnormal con-
dltlons Under the two platoon svs-
tenn there would merely be enonph
men on hand to fight an ordinary
hre' but if confiagration occurred
the chief could call on all the men
VINO We're off duty. In such cases:,the
city would have larger fighting
force than it now has and the fra
risk would be less. :.
II the city commissioners do >no+
Know how to raise the money neces-'
sary to provide for the two platoon
system, we believe there are a few
people of Duluth who could sit in
with them and tell them how the
pruning knife might be used to good
advantage on present extravagences
The result of which operation wou1d
give more than sufficient money to
pay the. additional :firemen, that
would be required under the two
platoon system.

ORGANIZE CHUBBUCK.
BUSY AT LA CROSSE

John D. Chubbuck, organizer for
the A. F. of L., who is we'll known in
Duluth, is still engaged at La Crosse,
Wisconsin, in assisting the members
of the Rubber Boot and Shoe Work
ers' union; who are on strike there.
Mr.. Chubbuck attended the meet
ing of the Executive Council of the
state federation of labor at st. Paul
last week and solicited the support of
organized labor in this state.
Secretary Lawson was directed to
call attention in a circular he is pre-
pairing to send to the unions to the
fact that the goods manufactured by
the La Crosse Rubber Mills are made
by non-union workers.

SICK MEN SHOULD
GET SQUARE DEAL.
DIX. ALEXANDER GRAHAM
500 Columbia Bldg, Duluth

500 Columbia Bldg, Duluth
1t is a most promising indication
that the sick and afflicted are to be
slVen square deal, because of the
1act that doctors nowadays are being
measured by their professional sue
cess and not by their utilization with
any particular school of practice.
IN recent years the most enlieht-
ened of mankind have come to the
very happy conclusion, that there is
an element Of good in all methods
of healing.
When person is taken ill he
should find the doctor who has an
established record for accomplishing
the desired results in such cases as
the patient complains of. Seek and
We shall find" =. :. i.
IN illness of functional nature, a
good chiropractor should be called:
into consultation because of the
achievements of the chiropractorss in
their accomplishments in functional
diseases, have been simply pheno-
mental.
There are thousands of people to
day who are suffering the agonies of
hades with rheumatism, whose suf-'
fering could be entirely eliidinated
by removing the pressure from off
the nerves that is responsible for
their pains, and this is what Chiro-
practors are doing every day. It is
sad indeed that more people do not
find out what can be accomplished
by Chiropractic. OF course, there
are some folks whose belief in medi-
cine is so firmly rooted, that they
think that it is not within the domain
ct human possibilities to restore
health without medicine, it matters
not that its inadequacy has been
again and again demonstrated to-: a
mathematical certainty. There are
at the present time thirty-three mill
lions of people in the United States
who have turned states evidence
against medicine and drugs, and now
engage tho service of practitioners
who have a record for curing their
patients.
If you are in need of physical at
tention, call on good Chiropractor.
you will be surprised beyond measure
at the results attained.

FORWARD MOVEMENT
BRIEFS
BY E. G. Hall.

The campaign gccs 1merrily on.
Many unions in Duluth are adding to
their membership. Greater interest
IS being shown daily in the attendance
at meetings and it is hoped that each
member will be in his place at every
meeting. This is important. The
forward committee meeting last Mon
day was we'll attended, reports made
by the various committees showing
that progress is being made by all Of
them, and we presume that the dele
gates are reporting back to their re-
spective organizations the progress
made.

President Hall talked over matters
bearing on the trade union move
ment at a MONDAY meeting of the
broommakers last Tuesday. It is
suggested that if you want to guard
against spending your money for con-

union label broom, one that is made
in Duluth. Look at the broom in
your home, hotel or shop and see if
it bears the emblem.
We have had to enlist Secretary
Treasurer George w. Lawson in the
field work on the ranges for 10 days
to-. assist in the program of educa-
ton. He will arrive in the city today
and proceed the first of the week to

range to arrange for meetings during

better advertisement for this splendid
organization, could be had. More
unions should enter into entertaining
their friends; it boosts the union
labor movement all along the line.
BARRIERS of Duluth are also taking
a. great interest. Several. new menu
