FINANCING THE FIGHT.

San Francisco.-Every trade unionist
in the city will contribute 20 cents a
week to a general fund to be raised by
the Labor Council to combat the efforts
of the Chamber of Commerce to estab-
lish the non-union shop in this city.
This decision was reached by the La
Dor Council at its last meeting when it
was unanimously voted to assess every
trade unionist in San Francisco 20 cents
per week for an indefinite period 1t is
estimated there are $4,000 trade union
lists in San Francisco. With each trade
unionist contributing 90 cents per week,
the Labor Council will have at its dis
posal $4,000 week.

people who have ever been heard to
express the desire for such an investi-
CATION are the liability insurance men,
They want it, because they know that it
is almost impossible to find an expert
actuary who does not depend upon the
insurance companies for his bread and
butter; and because of this fact they
hoped to get an expert" report that
could be used to discredit the Ohio State
insurance fund. This same object was
sought in the OFT resolution introduced
in the last legislature and which the at-
thor was compelled to abandon through
the pressure brought to bear by the
friends of the workmen's compensation
law.
1.-THE Taggart opinion was in the
interest of the liability insurance
companies, and when the Industrial
Commission was wrestling with the
serious situation created by the Tag
CART decision, Governor Willis add
ed to the embarrassment by dcpriv-
ing the wOrkmen's compensation
department of some of its most
competent people, and after all this,
Governor Willis has the temerity
to say that he is friend of the
present wOrlmen's compensation
law and expect us to believe it. All
l have to say on that is, o Lord,
deliver us from such friends!
During the past year an organization
of $4,000 insurance men was formed in
Ohio for the specific purpose of bring
ing about the election of legislators and
state officials who will favor the liability
insurance companies. These insurance
men are for Willis and are again spend
ing their money to bring about his re-
election. Now, who is Governor Willis
going to fool-the insurance men or the
friends of the workmen's compensation
law? He can't satisfy both.
"In the campaign of 1914, Governor
Willis told us that he was going to have
death cases. But we didn't get it, for
keeping hands off the legislature. He
promised law providing for one day
rest in seven and woman's eight-hour
law. But when the legislature was
wrangling over these measures he stood
by, kept hands off and allowed them to
be defeated Can we put our trust in
the promises of such man as this?
''But suppose we should take his
word that he is friend of the pres
ent wOrkmen's compensation law.
You recall the bitter fight we had
to pass the wOrkmen's cOmpensa-
ton law i'm 1913. You remember
how delegations by the hundreds
came to Columbus to oppose it; and
you have not forgotten how Govern
or Cox stood up and fought for the
passage of the law. If it had not
been for his directing hand and firm
and courageous stand the cOmpul'
sorry wOrkmen's compensation law,
probably would not have been pass
ed at that time. We know 1t
wouldn't have been If Cox had tax.
en- the same position as Willis did
in the last legislature. Now, sup
pose that through their activity and
unlimited finances the liability in
surance men succeed i'm electing a

ture who would be the best man
to have i'm the governors chair to
protect the wOrkmen's cOmpensa-

NEGRO LABOR COMING NORTH.

Birmingham, Ala.-A serious short
age of negro labor is facing this section
of the country. Labor agencies and
agents representing Northern compan-
les that require the services of large
number of laborers are shipping the
negroes north at the rate of nearly 100
per day, according to figures compiled
by companies here who are suffering on
account of it, Most of the men are be-
ing sent to the mining fields of Penn
sylvania, Kentucky and Virginia, where
it was stated that on account of the war,
and the large number of foreigners who
have returned to their countries to fight,
a serious shortage is also felt.
Montgomery, Ala-Because of the ac-
tivity of labor agents, who have sent
hundreds of negroes into Northern
States, the Montgomery city council
passed an ordinance making it an offense
punishable by fine of 800 and sixty
days Imprisonment to induce any laborer
to leave the city.

as an unquestionable truth by the

urging a more extensive use OF the
blue uniform.
Major General Bell, L. S. army,
recently pointed out the L. S. marines
as examples of his belief that an at
tractive uniform inspires a soldier to
live up to a soldiers ideals.
Though the drab and khaki will
still be used as a field uniform, the
smartness of the blue uniform with
its shining brass buttons worn by the
marines at sea and ashore, have a
marked effect on the efficiency of
those troops" say the marine officers.

Over Three Million Lose Lives in Past

Estimates of war casualties based

year of the war has cost more than
100000 lives and has inflicted
wounds on more than 100000 Esti-
mates for the first year ranged be-
tween the German report of 100000
slain and more than 100000 wound
ed and Beach Thomas estimate of s.
100000 killed and 100000 wounded.
UP to the period of the present
