UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE.

Declaring that unemployment In.
surance conducted by the United
States Government would be a most
effective aid to industrial efficiency,
Rufus NJ. Potts, Insurance Superin.
tendent of Illinois, urged the Ameri.
can Academy OF Medicine to give its
scientific aid to the formulation of a
comprehensive system of administra.
ton for unemployment insurance in
this country. Social insurance was
the topic for discussion at Detroit at
the 4lst annual meeting of the Ameri.
can Academy of Medicine and Supt.
Potts was called to deliver an ad.
dress on Unemployment Insurance"
because of his extensive study of So
cial or welfare insurance, of which 1t
is a branch. The Illinois Official re.
viewed statistics on unemployment
and drew a distinct line between vol
untary unemployment and those COM
PEELED to be idle. Am not discussing
measures for dealing with voluntary
unemployment. Vagrant and incor-
rigible loafers or the vicious and
criminal can be summarily dealt with
by compulsory institutional labor. Our
attitude should be very different to-
wards the unfortunate workers and
their dependents suffering from in
voluntary unemployment. Our first
step, as 10 them, should be to find and
remove the cause OF their unemplOy-
ment and the success of unemploy-
ment insurance would be its effect
upon the systematzing of employment
now impossible because OF imperfect
adjustment Of labor to demand"

employment, disability from sickness
and accident, old age and like causes
demand the adoption of system OF
welfare insurance which would serve
TO counterbalance the economic losses
caused by unemployment and involun-
tary disability, and the administration
OF such a system by the Government
would cost less than the expense now

Works on the South Side That

The Chicago Eagle is in receipt of
complaints from south side people
about the awful smell said to come
from some alleged soap factories and
rendering works in Bridgeport, whose
influence Is said to be SO great with
the health and sanitary departments
that they can stink as much as they
please.
Property owners complain that
these stenches pollute the air, lower
property values and, what Is Of more
consequence, endanger health.
Are not the lives of people in
Bridgeport and vicinity worthy Of Of.

Summer Is here and the breezes
watt these smells to all parts Of the
city.
Making this kind Of perfumery is
unlawful. Why IL the law not en-.

RAILROADS MANDAMUsED.

That mandamus proceedings will be brought against the railroads operating out of Kansas City to com pei them to accept shipments of li- quor consigned to Arizona points. is the information contained in a letter received here yesterday by persons who recently sent money to a Kansas City mail order liquor house in re- sponse to a circular guaranteeing the delivery of liquors to them.
 Many checks and money orders were sent from here two weeks ago in response to the circular which depicted in eloquent stanzas the ad- vantages of a cold bottle on a hot day. The letter received yesterday urged prospective customers to have patience but 10 days more, when the goods would be delivered. Mandamus proceedings, it said. are being brought against the railroad companies. to en- force them to accept the shipments.
