LABOR AND THE WAR.

When the war began for the United
States it was Immediately evident that
the labor problem was to loom large
as a factor in determining our activi-
ties as a belligerent. The leaders of
organized labor were prompt in their
pledges of support to all wartime ne
cessities-and equally prompt and
vigorous in demanding recognition for
themselves and their followers. The
organized labor movement was de-
scribed by the American Federation
list as the agency thru which the gov
eminent must cooperate with the
wage earners." In consequence, Sam
uel Gompers was given a place of
prominence in connection with the
council of national defense, and other
labor leaders took membership in va
rious bodies dealing with the problem
of organizing the nation for war.
These men continued to assure the
country that organized labor would do
its full share in carrying the burden
of the times, that there would be no
labor disturbance to unsettle the eff
fort for full productivity in all lines.
The strike of the longshoremen in
New York, of the shipbuilders on the
Pacific coast, of the coal miners in
several states, have recently shown
how slender is the hold which labor
leaders have upon the action of the
men in their organizations; and the
report Of the so-called Herman board
now shows how misleading is the
claim of organized labor to control
of the productive activities of the
country.
The Herman board, So named from
its chairman, an army officer was
appointed by the secretary of war to
investigate the subject of the manu-
facture of arms, munitions and mill
tary equipment. 1t found that there
are 1854 establishments which are
qualified to turn out war supplies.
OF these only 1857 are union shops.
There are APPS shops which have
furnished supplies to the government
in the last two years. and of these
only 40 per cent are unfonized. In
New England. where the highly spe-
| cialized war establishments are to be
found in the largest number. more
than go per cent of the establishments
are open shops, and the same propor-
ton obtains in establishments which
make powder and explosives. Less
than per cent of the shipyards are
unionized.

eras achieving varying degrees of sue

ever since. Clarity and sharpness of

STATE INSURANCE.

The state of Wisconsin has estab
lished fund for carrying it's own
insurance on state property. The fund
has been in existence since 1908. In
the fourteen years ending January 1
last, the fund collected premiums to-
falling $685. 1876, and paid out in losses
on state property $5S2,9S0.
The premiums. were collected on a
rate which was 60 per cent of that
charged by private companies, making
a saving to the state In premiums of
over 100000 in addition to the sur
plus of $26,10O now on hand. The
expense of administering the fund for
the fourteen years was but $11,467, or
less than per cent of the premiums
collected.
The expenses and profits of private
insurance companies on the fire in
surance business of the whole state of
Wisconsin for the last ten years is
shown to have been approximately So
per cent of the premiums collected.
Advocates of workmen's health in
surance who insist that private prof
it's must be prohibited in any success
ful plan are making active use Ct this
striking difference between 2 per cent
and Sc per cent in cost of operation
What is true of fire insurance in this
respect, they contend. is similarly true
in casualty and health insurance. The
legislative investigating commission in
Massachusetts,, they are pointing out
recently reported that it cost Sc "a
cents to carry dollar-thlu the stock
company system from employer to
employe, while the cost under the
state mutual system is but IA cents.
In any form of public insurance,
mutual health and compensation as
well as state fire insurance on public
buildings, it is claimed, the social
purpose is best served in the degree to
which excessive and burdensome costs
and private profits are eliminated.

'Allies Aiding Italy" is a headline
seen frequently in the newspapers
these days. Like that other one, Sc
cret Service Men Are Investigating"
it shows that somebody arrived too
late. For the Italian disaster
Italy's allies must be blamed. They
have blundered as badly as they
did at GaIiipoli. Everywhere except
on the western front the Germans
have proven themselves superior to
their opponents. The truth ,of this is
reflected in Lord Northcliffe's re-
mark: IF were a Prussian I would
consider the war won" No wonder a
far seeing military man like General
Wood places the duration of the war
at from three to seven years more.
1t is becoming more and more appa-

western front, altho that is Germany's
least vulnerable line. The Teutons,
as rule, have fought where and
