HEALTHY WORKERS
PUBLIC INSURANCE FOR WORK.
ERS INCREASES STRENGTH.
Rapid Progress of Movement in This
Country Is Reported, Says Sec
retary John B. Andrews.
Especial CorrespondenceD

| PITTSBURG, Pa, June 12.-"As
men are taken by war from shop and
factory, those remaining must be kept
| fit to meet the increased demand for
output. And as women enter industry
in rapidly increasing numbers, the
need becomes even more pressing for
the protection afforded by universal
health insurance, including maternity
care" This declaration was made by
DR.. John B. Andrews, secretary of the
American Association for Labor Leg
islation in an address on progress to-
ward health insurance at the annual
meeting of the national conference of
charities and correction today.
Existing protective standards for
labor must be upheld in the interest of
national effectiveness" he said. But
in addition to that we should, in the
changing social order, make provi-
sions for increasing still further the
nations productive power and the we'll
being of its workers. Healthy wage
earners are the foundation of national
strength both in peace and war"
Progress Is Encouraging.
Progress toward health insurance
has been encouraging in this country,
according to DR.. Andrews Civic,
medical, commercial, and labor organi-
cations in ever-increasing numbers are
indorsing public health insurance as
the need and the benefits are under
Stood" he asserted Aggressive and
organized opposition comes principally
from private insurance companies
since the proposal for universal health
insurance absolutely excludes private
profits. Fair distribution of cost and
democratic management are making a
strong appeal, particularly to the
workers whom health insurance will
assist The favorable findings of the
first two official commissions in Massa-
chusetts and California have stimu-
lated the movement toward legisla-
ton"
Industry Shares Responsibility.
That unfamiliar work and intense
effort due TO Industrial shifting re-
quired by war increase the toll of
sickness among wage earners. particu-
larly women, as it has in Europe, was
predicted by DR.. Andrews. Work
mems compensation provides the stim-
ulus for prevention of accidents" he
said. Under universal health insur-
ance there would be similar efforts to
prevent sickness. 1t is in the national
interest to provide the machinery by
which preventive measures against
disease will be stimulated and ade-
quate medical attention and cash bene-
fits provided to tide the worker over
sickness periods without distress and
destitution. Health insurance is So
cial Justice The responsibility for
sickness is shared by industry, the
worker. and the state, and all three
will share in the benefits of public
health"

WHALE STEAKS SELLING
AT WHALING BIG PRICES

The much -mooted question of which
was the aggressor in the Jonah-whale
controversy; whether the big mammal
swallowed poor old Jonah, or the re-
verse, has at last been settled, and the
whale gets the worst of the argu-
ment, says the Seattle Union Record.
The meat of that mastodian of the
seas is now an article of American
diet and bids fair to follow the soaring
proclivities of its landlubber competi-
tors. the gentle bovine and the obese
porker. in the cost to the ultimate con-
sumer. Hailed at its first appearance
on the market as a factor in the re-
duced cost of living because of its
cheapness. the spongy steaks from the
big sea monster are now demanding
rapidly ascending prices, firstly be-
cause Of its novelty, and secondly be-
cause of an existing monopoly in the
market. one Seattle wholesale butcher,
the Pacific Meat company, having con-
tracted for the whole product of the
American Whaling company, which is
practically the only concern furnishing
the product to this market. The re-
tail price to home consumers is around
13 cents a pound. The restaurants
are charging 45 cents for an order of
whale meat approNimating seven
ounces. or. according to the figures,
which have been verified, a portion
which costs the restaurant man ap-
proximately cents.
Moral: Jonah must have been the
victim, all right, all right.

GOVERNOR GUNTER TO
CALL EXTRA SESSION
Special Acts Are Necessary to Provide
Funds for State in the
War Program.

A call for a special session of the
state Legislature is expected TO be is
sued by Governor Gunter within few
days, to convene not later than July
10. The session must be called before
August 5, the date on which the ma
uonal guard is mustered into federal
service.
For the past week Governor Gunter
and his advisors have been meeting
almost daily TO determine the details
of proposed legislation. The governor
Is expected to ask for an appropriation
of at least S2,50O,0OO to carry on the
states share of the war work The
thing that is giving state and military
officers most concern is how to provide
force of home guards deemed neces-
sary in war time.
Governor Gunter has wired the gov
ernors of other states asking them
how they expect to handle this work.
Caring for dependents will be part
of the work before the state for which
the appropriation is expected to make
provision. In California the governor
was given an emergency fund of $780,
600 to eNpend as he sees fit.
The war council and ways and
means committee will probably need
S1,00o,000 for war work.

LABOR LEADER RESIGNS.
Henderson Dlsagrces Over Stockholm
Conference and Leaves British
Council.

London, Aug. 1.-THE course OF
Arthur Henderson in advising yes
tcrdays conference of the Labor
party to send a representation to the
Stockholm conference has been fol-
lowed quickly by the tender of his
resignation as a member of the war
cabinet, which constitutes the inner
council Of the government, and
prompt acceptance of the resigna-
tion by the premier.
Premier Lloyd George wrote Mr..
henderson scathing letter of ac-
ceptance in which he practically ac-
cused Mr.. Henderson of bad faith and
duplicity in his dealings both with
his cabinet colleagues and with the
Laboritcs. and promptly gave the
letter to the newspapers. The pre-
mier thereby created a situation
which puts Mr.. Henderson on the
defensive and which may cause the
Laborites to retract their decision to
send delegates to confer with Ger
mans, Russians and neutrals at the
Swedish capital
Mr. Henderson stated in a note to
the press that his position would be
explained to the house Of commons.
The premier makes the point that
the cabinet is opposed to the Stock
holm meeting. and also that the pres.
ent Russian provisional government
Is lukewarm If not opposed to it al
together.
The first of Premier Lloyd George,
'harges is that Mr.. Henderson gave
the cabinet the impression that he
agreed with them.

ASSUMES FOOD CONTROL.
GOVERNMENT TAKES CHARGE
OF NATIONS RESOURCES.
Administration With Hoover at Head
of Machinery Begins Work On
Recently Passed Bill.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The Ameri-
can government today assumed con-
troll of the country's food supply with
the signing by President Wilson of
the administration food survey and
regulatory bills.
Formal announcement of Herbert
Hoover's appointment as food ad-
mlnistrator was made at the White
House soon after the measures were
approved and tonight Mr.. Hoover set
forth the aims of the food administra-
ton in statemnt declaring it's pur-
pose will be to stabilize and not to
disturb conditions.
Every effort will be made to correct
price abuses made possible by abnor-
mai times, Mr.. Hoover said, but dras-
tic meausres will not be attempted
until it is seen the purposes of the
administration can not be accomplish
ed through constructive cooperation
with food producing and distributing
industries.
The very existence of corrective
powers, Mr.. Hoover declares, will
tend to check speculation and price
imitation.
THE business men Of the country,
am convinced" says Mr.. Hoover's
statement. ''as result Of many hun
dreds of &C lferences with representa-
tives Of the great sources OF food
supply, realize their own patriotic
obligation and the solemnity of the
situation, and will fairly and gener-
ously cooperate in meeting the ma
tional emergency.
The two bills signed today give to
the government sweeping wartime
powers. The regulatory bill is design
cd to pat food distribution under di-
rect government supervision and a
provision added as an amendment ex-
tends an even more drastic govern
ment control over coal and other
fuels, icluding the power to fix prices
and authorizing the government op-
Grafton of mines. The survey bill is
intended to encourage production and
gives the government authority to
keep up continuous census of the
amount Of fOodstuffs in the United
States. 1t will be administered by
the department of agriculture.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDERS RE.
LEIEvED OF CANTON

Means Saving Of Much Time and
Keep Present Officers In Their
Regular Jurisdictions.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Army de-
partment commanders. by, war de-
partment orders issued today, are re-
lieved Of the National Army canton
ments and National Guard camps
within their departments and will
devote themselves to the regular
troops within their Jurisdiction.
The effect of this order. unless
there are changes in the high COM
mands, will be to keep some of the
best known American commanders
such as Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood.
Maj. Gen. ]. Franklin Bell and 9TH
ers, i'm department commands, at
home, instead of sending them with
the armies to Europe.
There are to he more than 200
new generals within the next few
days. 1t is of course possible that
some Of these or others might be
assigned to the regular departments
to permit sending the high line off,
GERS with the fighting army.
The order relieving department
commanders of the command Of
guardsmen and National Army units
is closely connected with the plan for
adoption of tactical units of the sizes
used i'm the European armies and is
calculated to secure quicker action
from all divisional commanders. BY
having every division commander re-
port direct to Washington and arrange
for his supplies without the delay in
cident to the orders. passing. through
department headquarters, general staff
officers have calculated that a great
part of the lost motion in the big war
machine can be removed.
The department commanders will
have much left to do in the routine
of their departments. Much of the
