HEALTH INSURANCE
PLAN UNDER FIRE

Albany, A. Y, March 22-President
Holland of the state federation of Ia
Dor opposed the Mills insurance bill
at hearing before the senate judi
ciary committee. "A letter from Presi
dent Gompers was read in which the
A. F. 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 suggests that
business men be accorded this treat
ment.
The bill was urged by the American
Society for Labor Legislation, whose
representatives stated it was their
purpose to secure the enactment of
the bill in every state in the union.
Many social workers favored the pro-
posal.
President Holland, speaking for the
organized workers of this state, de-
cldroQ LndC trade unlOnlSLS resented
the action of the trainers of the bill
in not asking for the advice of the
workers. He protested against the
+: provision allowing employers to de
duct from the workers pay their por-
ton Of the cost of administration and
opposed several administration fea-
! lures of the bill. 9This bill was draft
ed and given US to eat, but we refuse
! to eat il" he said.
The bill provides 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 the employe on slid
! ing scale, depending on the amount Of
earnings of the employee
1t is believed that the committee
will recommend that the question oil
health insurance be ordered investi
gated by the legislature and report
made next year ~.

HIGH DUES ARE
NECESSARY

Indianapolis, March 22-Writing in
the Carpenter on the necessity for
high dues, Secretary Frank Duffy OF
the Brotherhood of Carpenters says:
"As a business institution advances
and gains in power and influence
more money is required for running
expenses, and that money, as a rule
is freely forthcoming on the principle
that the larger the investment the
greater will be the net returns: With
labor unions, however, that principle
does not seem to apply, at least If we
are to judge by the attitude OF many
union men.
ITO their minds, the larger and
more influential a labor organization
becomes the lower should the running
expenses be- They combat every at
tempt to increase the per capita tax
on the assumption that such is not
really necessary and that an organ1za-
ton of, for instance, 250,000 members,
can be run on the same monetary
basis as a union of $4,000 or less.
'sOn such, a. basis they expect bene-
fits entirely out of proportion to the
per capita tax paid. They expect
strikes to be financed, elaborate or
ganizing campaigns to be undertaken
, and the business of the organization
conducted on the most approved, up
to-date lines. Some there are who ex-
4 pect much more, but they never stop
( to figure out by what means such a
financial miracle can be performed
with the resources available.
| .'These members do not realize that
the spread of democracy and the de-
mands of the industrial system OF to-
day have placed greater responsible
ties upon the labor unions and exact
more from them The unions have to
meet conditions that we're unheard OF
in the past, administration expenses
are much greater and strikes cost
| thousands where hundreds sufficed in
{ former years. = = Cheapness of that
| kind is in no sense economy, and is
dear in the long run"

GAINS BY
COPPER EMPLOYEES

Poenix, Ariz., March 22-With the
official declaration that the strike of
copper miners in this state is at an
end, these workers are now comparing
present rates with those that former
ly prevailed AS a result of confer
ences between the mine managers and
the men, wages are increased to al
most IS per cent for $4,000 workers.
Employees who have been receiving
$1.6O and $3.50 will be increased 20
and 25 per cent. All mechanics are
equalized on SO cent an hour basis
at IL cent copper unless other. camps
raise this rate. In such an event the
Greenlee camp will raise it also. All
other employees, however, go to the
sky with the price of copper. This
establishes a precedent The strike
has also increased trade union senti-
ment in that mining section and at the
present time unions are being formed
by electrical workers, BARRIERS, chauf-
feurs, engineers and stenographers
and bookkeepers.

TUBERCULOSIS
DEATH RATE IS
DECREASING

New York, March 22-The anti-tu-
berculosis movement is decreasing the
death rate because of that disease,
says the national association for the
study and prevention. of tuberculosis
in a statement issued by that organi-
cation.
In proof of this, the association
points to the report of the bureau Of
census showing that the tuberculosis
death rate declined from 2O0.7 per
100000 population in 1904 to 1863 IN
1914 Nevertheless, the report show
ed that in 1914, tuberculosis caused
over 1O.5 per cent of all deaths in the
registration area of the United, States.
It is stated that there are now in
this country over 1900 anti-tubereulo-
sis associations, 500 anitoria and nos
pitfalls, $50 dispensaries, 800 open air
chools and over 100000 persons ac-
lively interested in the prevention OF
tuberculosis.

mo government will ever be safer

guarantee that this sentiment will not

of the means of organized public dis
cussion. Democracy is the education

DON'T KNOCK YOUR HOME
TOWN.

The man who talks against bis
town makes a serious blunder, a
serious mistake. To do so is to
help to create a sentiment against
the place where he makes his iiV-
ing. a place which means much
to him at all times and especially
when it is prosperous and this it
can not be if the citizenship is
continually finding some excuse
to deplore its existence. One of
the essential things in all towns
is a successful brsineSs organiza-
ton upon all occasions means
that the town is on the down
grade and that the persons max
ing the attacks are assisting the
town to 90 further down. No or
ganization can make headway
with the citizenship out campaign
ing against it when they ought to
be out speaking praises for it. If
the citizenship its way for growth
and prosperity thev are badly
mistaken.-Greenville Banner.
