viewpoint OF LABOR.
"Gentlemen: AS agencies are now
organized for national defense work,
economic power is largely concen-
trated in Washington and controlled
by the committees established by the
Council of National Defense and the
advisory commission. AS the transit
ton from peace to war basis pro.
crosses, war finance, war contracts.
war business will replace the eco.
'nomic basis of peace
E THE working people have long ago
learned that freedom and democracy
!" have real meaning in other relations
only when established in the economic
world-they have declared and strug-
gled for democratically organized and
controlled relations between employ
ers and employees. Now the workers
declare for democracy in all things
concerned in a world war for democ-
racy. They demand direct representa-
t1on by workers, co-equal with all
other interests, upon all agencies,
boards. committees and commissions
entrusted with war work.
These boards and committees are
now composed almost entirely of busi-
ness men-able, prominent, men of
large affairs who control the plac-
ing of contracts and the expenditure
of millions of the nations money. AS
matter of precaution to prevent any
charge of discrimination or suspicion
OF scandal, representatives of all citi-
zens contributing to the national
funds expended ought to be on the
boards or committees. War contracts
must not be allowed to be an oppor-
tunity for private gain and the ac-
cumulation of war profits. AS a mat
ter of justice and democratic principle
representatives of employees as we'll az
of employers ought to determine ma
tiona1 economic policies.
MANY workers understand the in
dustry in which they work and have
fund of information supplementary
to that of their employers. Repre-
sentation for workers means valuable
service to the nation as we'll as recog-
milton Of the fundamentals of demqc-

INDIANA BUYS
UNION TEXT BOOKS

INDIANAPOLIS, July 26.-The
state board Of education has awarded
the printing of its agricultural text
books to the bbs-Merrill company
of this city, a union concern. Frank
Duffy, seventh vice president Of the
A. F. of L., who is a member of the
board, opposed the contract for books
on Industrial arts for the reason that
up to the present time no practical
book has been prepared. It was fl
nally agreed that bulletins should be
issued on the subjects of industrial
arts and domestic science.

Life Insurance.

A fifth branch of this government
are of the soldiers and their families
being considered. 1t IL the matter
e life insurance. Many Of the volun-
eer and drafted soldiers have life in
'urance, the rates on which are to be
aised to an impossible degree if the
rivate companies continue to carry
ylelr policies. 1t is proposed that
ne government carry the additional
mount~of the insurance rate.
This raises the question: Why
mould the government pay life insur-
tnce premiums for one man and not
or another? If John Smith, carry
ng $4,000 of insurance, is to be
granted help III the sum of $3.50 for
the payment of the added premium
because he is going to war, shall not
,he government pay at least $3.50 in
life insurance premiums for James
Brown. who until now has not been
able to carry any insurance?
OF course the answer is plain. Con-
gress will treat all alike, or at least
will treat them alike in proportion to
the number and actual necessities of
their dependents. OF the hundreds of
thousands of wage-workers who will
be called in the first draft there will
be thousands who will become, by
some chance, the sole support of a.
mother, sister or other dependents.
For them this compensation and in
surance and separation allowance
question will be far more vital than
for the man of some little property or
private income who leaves a. family
at home.
