MOTOR COMPANY HAS
 BAND FOR WORKERS

Noon concerts for the workers in the plant of the Anderson Electric Car company, makers of Detroit Elec- tries, have been started by the com pany with the intention of making them a weekly feature of the plants life.
 The Anderson Electric Car com- pany band, AZ pieces, offered it's in- itiai program February 21 to a throng of several hundred employees and the rousing reception accorded it speaks volumes for the appreciation that the shop and office forces have for bit of good melody at the noon hour,-a variation from the monotony of dln- ner pail lunch and a few minutes chat. The band. which has been i'll process of organization for several months, is made up entirely of em' ployes of the company, many of whom never blew a horn or rapped drum before starting to practice with the band. .,
 Officials of the factory see in the band a distinct influence for per manency among the employees. No only do they feel that these men il the band will be more likely to en joy their work, but they believe tha the weekly concerts will prove mos pleasurable to the other employees There also is the fact that featur like the band often attracts valuable men to the organization. With the coming of summer, uni forms will be purchased for the ban and drum-majcr will be added to it
 personel, making it ready for march
 ing. It is planned to have the ban
 available for dealers conventions an
 other programs at the factory, in ad dition to the weekly concerts.

FOUR R. K. UNIONS HAVE AMPLE FUNDS
 TO WAGE BATTLE

The four unions of railroad em- ployes are old and rich.
 The Brotherhood of Railway Train men is more than labor union. l: is, in addition, great fraternal as sessment insurance company. It in sures all it's members, paying not only death claims but also accident and sick benefits. Each year it pays out more than $2,000,000.
 r The brotherhood has a strike funl which is said to contain something lige $1,O00,000 in cash.
 The Brotherhood of Railway Train men is the largest and one of the two radical and aggressive unions among the Big Four" The 75,000 members of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Engineers are called the arist;- crats of the labor world. In their ranks seniority largely rules. Of the four unions that of the en- 1 gineers is. strongest financially. It insures members against sickness, | accident and death, ana the amounts pair are larger than those drawn by members of other unions. l The engineers have teen collecting
 a strike fund and their war chest $
 said to contain several hundred thou.
 sand dollars.
 In addition they have large sums ir their insurance funds which mig Ii be available.
 From railroad sources comes th> estimate that the total available as sets of the engineers alone are be tween $12,000,000 and $15,000,00O. Il Even more conservative in it's in
 ception and early years is the Ordc of Railway Conductors. It retaine;
 for years clause in it's constitution which forbade strikes.
 Its members have worked u through years of service to the plac where they hold good runs and thou , sands among the 6O,0O0 members ar within reaching distance of life pen
 sions.
 The fourth union of the Big Four
 is the Brotherhood of Railway Fire men. Its members are largely youn and are more radical and aggressiv
 than the older conductors and eng
 neers.
 Like the other three the fireme ;, are fraternal and insurance societ 0 as we'll as labor union. Numberin :" about 5000 members, they pay or
 more than $1,000,000 year in insu1
 ance. ' Altogether the four unions colle, and distribute $5,0O0,00O annual
 among their members. They ha, ol always on hand in their insurant ,f funds more than would represent e total of more than $2,5OO,OO.
