PHYSICIANS ASSERT
HEALTH INSURANCE
is SOUND POLICY

'Thc principle of health insurance
which makes proper provision for
the prevention of sickness as we'll as
proper provision for the relief of
sickness is a sound one" says re-
cent report of the committee on
health insurance of the American As
sociation of Industrial Physicians
and Surgeons.
State administered health insurance,
including maternity benefits, as pro-
posed by organized labor in several
states, it is being pointed out, pro
vides both cash and medical bene-
fits for sick workers and their fam
lilies at small cost to the insured, and
emphasizes prevention practically by
making sickness of wage earners
costly to industry. Health first"
efforts follow health insurance laws,
it is stated, just as naturally as
safety first" campaigns against ac-
cidents result from the adoption of
workmen's compensation.

CONVERSION OF
LIBERTY BONDS

The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of
per cent bonds of the Third Lib
erty Loan will expire on November
8 next and under existing law can
not be extended or renewed. Delay
in exercising the privilege will re-
suit in overburdening the banking
institutions of the country and the
Treasury Department by making it
necessary to handle all conversions
at the last moment and may result
in many cases in the loss of the
privilege of conversion altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to exchange them
for registered bonds in order to pro-
tect themselves against the risk Of
loss, theft, and destruction of their
bonds.
The banks throughout the country,
as matter of patriotic service, will
doubtless all assist bondholders in
converting and registering their
bonds.

DO NOT WANT TO
REDUCE THE COST

Through the efforts of Commits
sioner Clay modest beginning was
made in the establishment of
municipal market, which has al
ready saved much to the people in
the high cost of living, but it seems
the dear people don't care how much
it costs to live. Five hundred dol
lars in warrants are offered for sale
to finance the undertaking and no
body seems to want to buy.
Nobody need be surprised. There
was circulated an initiative petition
to submit a marketing bill to the
voters this fall, which would have
benefited everybody except the mid
dlemen, but not enough signatures
were gotten on the petition, although
it cost nothing to sign.
The people say of all efforts to
save money for them: eve don't
care a damn for expenses; we've got
lots of 'em.

SPIRIT
CT SERVICE

When the story Of Americas par
ticipation in this war comes to be
written, the formation of our great
army, its transfer across the seas
and the heroic battles in which it
engages will no doubt be given the
most impressive place, but the wise
historian will analyze the causes
which made these things possible, and
high among them he will find the
patriotism and zeal of American
labor.
Labor has brought from the mines
and fields the raw materials upon
which our war industries have had to
depend; it has manned the work.
shops and factories in which those
materials were fashioned into articles
necessary for the equipment and sup
ply of the soldiers; it has operated
the trains and manned the ships
which carried the soldiers and their
supplies to the field of conflict; it
has rested under the Army as a
firm foundation; and in the mobiliza-
ton of our national resources it has
brought itself together in a spirit
of service without which our finan-
cial and military efforts could not
have gone forward.
cv1n
part of labor in America has been
free and voluntary; the spirit which
produced it is fundamentally the
democratic spirit of our institutions,
the establishment of which is the
reason and justification for Amer
ica's participation in the war.
But labor's part in this war has
not been limited to the industrial
side. 1t has given to the Army
both for technical service and for
soldier duty tens of thousands of it's
craftsmen and workmen. Those who
could not be spared have been kept
at home, often against their wish,
and those who have remained at
home have taken on the additional
tasks of those who went to the
front, in order that the great in
dustrial basis of the military estab-
lishment should be sound and strong.
The country halls its army abroad
and it's army at home as partners in
the great conflict which America is
waging for freedom.

Secretary of War.

HENRY FORD is TO
COME TO EVERETT

Now comes the North Pacific Coast
manager of the Henry Ford manu-
featuring interests and tells the peo-
pie of Everett that big farm trac-
tor plant will be built at or near
this city which will employ 5000
men and women.
That Governor Lister recommended
this city as the best location for
such factory.
That not only the plant will be
built, but modern city large enough
to house his army of employees will
be erected.
And that all he asks of this city
is that she will secure ample electric
power at reasonable cost.
Truly Everett seems to be reach
ing that place on the map for which
nature intended her.
E. A. Mitchell of Seattle, Henry
Ford's personal representative, said
these things to Frank Sheraton, re-
ported in last Saturdays Herald

AMERICANIZATION
OF IMMIGRANTS

Some effort has been made to
teach the English language to for
eigners coming to our shores who
speak languages other than ours.
The advantages which would accrue
to immigrants speaking foreign
tongues is obvious.
1t is also plain that the process
of assimilation of the foreign ele-
ment of population would be great
ly aided by teaching the English
language, elements of American law
and American customs to immi-
grants who desire to become citizens
of the United States.
The coming of the world war has
driven from the thoughts of the peo-
pie many things worthy of consid-
Grafton including the teaching of
strangers within our gates to be-
come good American citizens, but it
will never be too late to start anew

PROFITEERING IN
LABOR INSURANCE
MUST BE STOPPED

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-"Despic-
able tactics in fighting claims has
made the casualty companies de-
servedly odous to working people,
the beneficiaries under the work
mems compensation law" declares F.
Spencer Baldwin, manager of the
New York State Insurance Fund, in
an appeal for legislation to prohibit
insurance companies organized for
profit from doing business in the
compensation field, just issued in
pj inted report by the State Fedora
ton of Labor.
Considerations of war economy"
he said, demand that profiteering
on compensation insurance should be
stopped"
Over $4,000,000 would have been
saved to industry in New York alone
last year, with more liberal bene-
fits to injured workers and their fam
lies, if stock companies had been
excluded from competition with the
state fund, Mr. Baldwin points out,
while in Ohio under an exclusive
state fund the saving last year was
100000.
Commenting on this showing,
Chairman Thomas j. Duffy of the
Ohio State Industrial Commission
says in the report, "If the employ
ers Of New York have five or ten
million dollars to spare let them
put it into the pay envelopes of their
employees instead of into the cof-
fers of the insurance companies"
Letters from large employers are
featured in the report, testifying that
the elimination of stock companies
has worked out to the benefit of
both employers and employees and
declaring that after five years ex-
perience with the pure state plan
as established in Ohio they "would
not care to 60 back to the private
industrial insurance companies, even
if the rates were made lower"
Secretary Edward A. Bates, in a
foreword to the Federation's report,
says, "The misfortunes of the toilers
should not be source of profit to
any one"

THEY WILL NOT FAIL"

The winning of the war is just as
much dependent upon the industrial
workers as it is upon the soldiers,
as one can not succeed without the
cooperation of the other. | believe
our workers realize this more and
more every day, as the wonderful
records of launching nearly one hun
dred ships on Independence Day
shows what can be done when we
put "our shoulder to the wheel' I'M
der the spur of enthusiasm and are
guided by the highest degree of pa
triotism.
The workers are doing the most
essential work which will have great
weight toward making the world safe
for those who love freedom and the
right of government.
Please convey to the workmen
my sincerest thanks and apprecia-
tion for what they have done, and
my absolute confidence in them for
what is to come, as know they will
not fail US at this vital time.
am devoting all of my time
and energy in an endeavor to flood
the seas with ships flying the Amer
ican flag, and with the help of the
workers and my friends, hope to

and establish night schools to aid
this worthy purpose.
OF course, as literary accom-
plishment and as a business aid 1t
may be well to teach foreign Ian
guages in our schools, but it is far
more important to thoroughly teach
our own language not only to peo-
pie of other tongues, but to our
own as well.
Money spent in teaching German
or French or Italian or any other
language than English, might be
better spent in teaching immigrants
seeking naturalization to speak and
read and write as we do.
The best school of naturalization
is one which teaches the prospective
citizen to speak, read and write the
language of that country.
Let US have no more of this
teaching of American children to
revere the Kaiser and his govern
ment. We've had enough of that.
The New Hampshire State Fedora
ton of Labor has been considering
this subject and has sent letter on
this subject to all federated labor
councils in the United States, which
it would be we'll for them to endorse.
The letter follows:
Learn English
The New Hampshire Federation
of Labor asks its members to sup
port the work of the New Hamp-
shire Committee of AUGMENTATION.
The United States Government has
started a movement for the educa-
ton of our foreign-born people,
especially those who do not speak,
read or write English. The New
Hampshire Federation of Labor heart
lily endorses this movement.
The New Hampshire Committee
on Americanization subcommittee Of
the New Hampshire Committee on
Public Safety is directing THIS work
in our state.
The first step is that all persons
in the state may learn to speak,
read write and understand English.
The New Hampshire Federation of
Labor urges all its non-English-
speaking members to attend night
school and learn to speak, read and
write English; and urges all en-
ployers of labor to assist in this
work for the benefit of labor, for
the benefit of industry and for bet
ter citizenship.

IN IDAHO

Progressive Democrats in the ma
tional capital and the war has
brought lot of them into the fore
are elated at the victory of the
National Non Partisan League in the
Idaho primaries. From top to bot
tom the farmers ticket went over.
Instead of lining up for the old
standpat power trust, mining trust,
timber trust and railroad crowd, the
farmers indorsed Senator Borah and
the Democatic senator, Nugent, for
reelection, and named a list of pro-
gressive men to run on the Demo
cratic ticket with Nugent. In ad-
dition to the nomination of H. F.
Samuels for governor, the Leaguers
also succeeded in putting two for
ward-looBing Democrats on the No
vember ballot for congress.
Monopoly control of this western
state has thus been broken by the
same combination of farmers and
union labor that is at work in the
South Dakota and Minnesota cam
paigns. Prospects of the election of
the entire League-Democratic ticket
are bright, and both Purcell and Jep-
peson, nominated by the League for
congress, will back President Wilson
up to the last notch.

employment service can order a
worker to cease employment in a
non-essential industry. The employ

any form of compulsion other than
the appeal to patriotism.
