LABOR LEADERS FAVOR HEALTH INSURANCE

operation with the American Medical
association and representatives of in
dustry and labor, William Green, Sec
retary-Treasurer of the United Mine
Workers, the largest trade union in
America, 81 id in an address at Column
bus recently:
'All classes Of working people ap-
preciate that there is as much need
tor health insurance as there is for
workmen's compensation benefits.
There is a unanimity of opinion re-
garding this principle. The burden
Of taking care of workers who are i'll
and providing for them adequate hos
pital and medical service, is altogeth-
err too great to be borne by volun-
tary organizations. And why should
the working people themselves bear
this financial burden? There is no
good reason why the care of the sick,
the aged and the disabled among
working classes should be borne by the
working people alone. Industry and
society at large should be required
each to bear their share of this bur-
den. It is significant that the trades
unions of Germany are not hostile to
the plan of health insurance and old
age pensions operating there.
"The almost universal sentiment of
the wo- Ling people is in favor of the
exclusion of commercial agencies
from participating in any way what
soever in the plan of social insurance.
They regard these private concerns as
their enemies"
John Mitchell. out of his experience
as chairman of the New York State
Industrial Commission. has empha-
sized the need of insurance to protect
workmen during periods of incapac-
ity due to sickness.

EIGHT HOURS FOR
MUNITIONS PLANTS

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 25.-
The Connecticut Labor Press, pub
lished in this city. says:
1.-THE Winchester Repeating Arms

an eight-hour shop. Already some
of the departments are on the eight
hour schedule with the pay of the
employees on an eight-hour basis, the
average worker, man or woman. get
ting nothing from the cut down in
hours
1.-THE reason for the shops going
onto eight hours is given, unofficially
o. course. as an aid to the general
conduct of work in the shops. The
real reason, according again to un-
official reports. is that the Winches-
ter company lost big contract from
the United States government, total
ing almost 100000, because it was
not an eight-hour shop. and therefore

WORKER TAKES PHOTO;
CITED FOR CONTEMPT
Vice President of Electrical
Workers Said to Have Vio-
lated Picketing Order.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 25.-Federal
Judge Killets' Injunction against
striking electrical workers has been
violated, and international Vice Presi-
dent Bugniazet of the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers has been cited for
contempt of court.
The trade unionist took pictures of
strikebreakers at work and his honor
holds that this is violation of his
order against violent picketing or in
reference with the company's prop
erty.
The telephone girls suspended work
to enforce living wage scale and the
electrical workers struck in sympathy.
Judge Killets is most insistent that
strikers have the right to picket in a
peaceful manner. nut he has the no.
ton, apparently, that there are no po-
lice s*a tutes governing violence. so he
has protected society against this
oversight Of lawmakers.
Attorneys for the strikers are de-
manding. that Judge Killets define
peaceful picketing, but the court
pleads not to crowd him too far lest
h. may be forced to pass on the con-
stitutionality Of the Clayton law.
which, he hints creates a favored
class in this country. The court is
most insistent that telephone service
be continued for the benefit of the
public, but when his attention is
called to the cause of the strike-the
struggle of working girls for a wage
in excess Of Sc a week.-Mrs. answer is
that the court has nothing to do with
this phase of the question.
Judge Killets' attitude toward trade
unionism was illustrated last May
while delegate to the conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Saratoga Springs, when a committee.
after lauding the work of organized
labor. reported that "a preference
should be shown to it, in the church's
printing offices. This recommended
ton was stricken out by the confer
ence after a lengthy discussion. The
opposition was led by Judge Killets.
whose denunciations of organized la
bor could not be excelled by the most
avowed anti-unionist. While no schol-
ar or thinker uses the term "open
shop" in connection with economic
questions, Judge Killets' repeated use
Of these words indicate that he is yet

of the American Federation of Labor
a resolution was adopted which de
clares against private insurance or in

piled to industrial, social or health in
surance.' The standard bill prepared
under the direction of the American
Association for Labor Legislation is in
line with these recommendations, and
is being introduced in many state leg-

HUGE INCOMES ARE
INCREASING RAPIDLY
Association for Equitable Income
Tax Urges Congress to In
crease Income Tax.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-"The Asso-
Cation for an Equitab BILE Income Tax,
Of which Register John J. Roper
whose officers are Commissioner Of
immigration Frederic c. Howe,
Charles H. Ingersoll, Amos Pinchot,

Record, is urging congress to in
crease the tax rate on all incomes
Of over 100000 to from, one-fifth
to one-third of the total income and
the rates on all large incomes pro-
portionately," says Benjamin C.
Marsh in a report made to the Com

urges also that the tariff on sugar
be promptly repealed and the duties
on the necessities of life End cheaper
grades of luxuries be reduced, and
that tn, rates on incomes from in
vestnent over $4,000 should be
counted as unearned incomes.
congress seems inclined to disre-
gard these first principles of democ-
racy and to impose higher taxes on
food and other necessities of the
working classes. The workers of
America should realize the injusice
of our present system of raising reve-
nue. and demand equality, such as
urged by the Association for an
Equitable Federal Income Tax. 1t is
un-American and unjust to conscript
working men for military service as
long as the institution Of private
property based on special privilege
remains. Il

Great Britain is an important cause

CARELESS USE OF
SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than the most
expensive soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cissive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months.
