Pittsburgh, Pa, June 12-That the
Uniteds States must be kept safe for
democracy was the plea of A. E,
Forrest of Chicago in an address
here today before the National Con-
ference of Charities and Correction
Mr.. Forrest appeared as a critic OF
social insurance. Charges and criti-
cism made by Mr.. Forrest included
the following:
That when social insurance is es-
tablished in the United States free
dom of individual action will cease
That social insurance condemns
and destroys the present order OF
society.
That it establishes communistic con-
troll of labor, displacing elective Of
ficers of organized labor through ap-
pointment of commissions.
That the commission is more
powerful than the state governor and
will control state politics.
That the net benefit from an ex-
penditure of laborers' wages esti-
mated at $75O,0OO,OOO will be the ad-
dition of an unnecessary third civic
agency empowered to search out
disease creating conditions.
That the tendency of health insur-
ance, even of the commercial var
iety, well safeguarded, breeds NAL
lingering, as evidenced by actual ex-
perience.
Intensity of Poduction.
Greater intensity of production re-
quired for war needs will prove the
desirability of establishing work.
mems health insurance as well as
strengthening workmen's~ compen-
sation laws, in the opinion of DR.
John B. Andrews of New York, Sec
rotary of the American Association
for Labor Legislation, expressed in
an address today before the confer
ence.
Health insurance is not charity
declared DR.. Andrews, sit is social
justice. The responsibility for sick
ness is shared by industry, the
worker and the state and all three
will share in the benefits of public
health"
Progress toward health insurance
has been rapid in this country, &C
cording to DR.. Andrews. Civic, med
ical, commercial, and labor Organi-
cations in eyer-increasing numbers
are endorsing public health insur-
ance as the need and the benefits are
understood, he asserted. The one
interest that united in opposition
was made up of the private insur-
ance companies. The proposal for
universal health insurance absolutely
excluded private competition and
private profits. The local mutual
funds are made up of contributions
from the employer, the employee and
the state, with employers and en-
ployes sharing equally in the man
agement, DR.. Andrews said this fail
distribution of the cost and the
democratic management are making
a strong appeal, particularly to the
workers whom it is aimed to assist
The favorable findings of legislative
investigation commissions in Mas
sachusetts and California have slim
ulated the movement toward legisla-
ton.
