FIGHTING SONG WITH NO. 13 SUNG FOR
 IDAHO'S GOVERNOR

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, Oct. Ex-Governor Moses Alexan- der of Idaho on his trip of inspec- tion to Camp Lewis heard the first rendition of one of the 18th Dvis- ion fighting songs which will be taught the soldiers before they go overseas.
 The song entitled Until We're Thirteen Miles Past Berlin" was composed by Arthur Freed a former resident of Seattle, but who until called into the army was composer for a New York music publishing house. Now it is Private Freed, 9th Sanitary train.
 The words to the song follow: Thirteen they say is an unlucky
 number,
 That bad luck cannot miss; But they're all wrong, just bet
 your life,
 What do you think of this?
 CHORUS Woodrow Wilson has thirteen letters in his well known name; Thirteen stripes in the flag of Old
 Glory,
 For those thirteen states of fame; With those thirteen stripes as our
 only mascot,
 The 18th Division must win, For we'll never stop our long, long
 trail
 Till we're thirteen miles past Der
 lin. Thirteen you'll find Is the unlucky
 number /Only for the Huns. For it's the number of a Division Of fighting sons of guns.

OLD EGYPTIAN MARKS ARE DISCOVERED IN
 CALIFORNIA VALLEY

BISHOP, Cal, Oct. 22.-Amateur archeologists of this section are en- deavoring to interest professional scientists of the East in the epi- graphs winch abound on the rocks of Round Valley, not far from this city, and which are believed to be as old, if not older, than the hiero- glphics of earliest Egypt, to which they bear a strange resemblance.
 It is believed by many that the strange markings constituted the means by which ancient tribes marked the source of water supply for the benefit of those of their number who lived rowing lives.
 These hieroglyphcs have never been deciphered, although they are matters of record in the leading mu- seums of the country, it is said. The Indian tribe now living in this vicinity declares they are not the work of the Indians of North Amer ica and that they antedate all abor- iginal lore.
 oOHl6 WHO nave eAdUlll6u JHe strange markings in the flinty boul- ders say the hieroglphics closely re- semble those of earliest Egypt and may replace the latter as the first written language of humanity.
 They are found always in the vicinity of water supplies. the same markings discovered near Bishop appearing also on rocks extending through the Canadian border, down through Washington, Oregon and California, to the Mexican line and beyond. This fact, it is ar gued, indicates that prehistoric tribes marked highway for their migrating mmebers or for their ar mics, giving specific directions as to the best water supplies along the way.

HEALTH INSURANCE ADVANCED BY
NEW YORK FEDERATION OF LABOR
Federation Report Bill introduced in the New York
Legislature Organized Labor Will Support This Bill With
All It's Force

in detail the provisions of the health
insurance bill adopted unanimously
by the 200 delegates at the specia
state convention in Albany, February
6. 1t appears simultaneously with
the introduction of the Federation's
bill in the legislature by Senator
Courtlandt Nicoll, who says: 1.-The
high percentage of physical disabil,
ity disclosed by the draft examina,
tions is call to prompt action in
furnishing health protection to those
who most need it."
Labor's Present Opportunity
eve are not going to sit idly by
much longer and see our citizens
afflicted by poverty due to sickness,
says the report. Referring to the
present opportunity and duty of or
ganized labor, the committee states:
ALREADY the casualty companies are
selling group insurance in plants, and
man has to work there certain
number of months in order to be
entitled to benefit. If he leaves
he losses his rights. The detri-
mental effect of such a plan is
oovious-it tends to tie a man to his
job. This is the time for organized
labor to push health insurance
through, otherwise the casualty
companies will have control of the
situation to the extent that we will
not be able to control the wage
scale"
The Federation of Labor was in
the beginning inclined to oppose
health insurance legislation, but fol-
lowing careful study during the past
year, and the favorable vote of
local unions throughout the state on
the report and bill as finally accept
ed in revised form by it's own spe-
cial committee, the Federation has
now unanimously placed health in
surance on it's immediate legislative
program.
The bill which covers sickness of
all wage earners and their depend
ents provides cash and complete
medical benefits for 26 weeks in a
year and offers special maternity
benefits for working mothers and
the wives of insured workmen. The
actual cost is to be shared equally
by the employers and insured en-
ployees, the maximum share of
the worker being about two cents on
dollar of weekly wages up to $12.
Lower paid workers pay proportion
ately less and the employer more.
General supervision of the system is
vested by the bill in the State In
dustrial Commission as under Work
mems compensation, with the state
bearing the cost of administration
Fraternal and trade union sickness
insurance is not affected by the
proposed act.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1918-03-08

are equally guilty of giving aid
and support to the enemies Of the
country; and neither are to be tol-
Grated by right thinking Americans.
Conversely, the employer and the
workmen who are fair in their re-
lations one to the other, and CO.
operate together for the highest in
dustrial efficiency in providing war
necessities for the government are
rendering service that is equally i'm
portant to that which is being rem
dered by our boys who are going
into the trenches over there.
81 am sure that it is the desire Of
the administration that the best pos
sible conditions be made for the
working men in the war industries
of the country so that they may not
be overcome by too long hours Of
hard work and that they be paid =
wage that will guarantee proper
housing, clothing and nourishment.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
man who has conditions that enable
him to conserve his health and
strength is the man who will bring
the strongest body and the clearest
mind to the accomplishment Of the
tasks that this hour imposes upon
him. That sort of man will prove
the nations most effective and eff
cient worker.
"These are the conditions that the
administration believes are due tC
the workers Of the country. With
this as basis for the nations
industrial policy, it then appears to
me that the best policy the workers
can pursue is to avail itself Of the
conciliators in the department of the
office of the Secretary of Labor al
Washington to settle all industria
disputes that may arise during the
period of the war. If this be
done, | am sure that the workers
will always secure absolute justice
and at the same time we will be able
to keep all the war industries run
ming full time. And this is the
best aid and support we can rem
der to the government in this houI
when the work of every one of our
men is so sorely needed"

NEW YORK, March 6.-"Health
insurance must now be reckoned
with as a war time demand of or
ganized labor" says a statement is
sued today by the American Asso-
citation for Labor Legislation. "By
giving first place to such measure
on it's immediate legislative program,
the State Federation of Labor in
New York-the largest industrial
state-has indicated the lines along
which health insurance for wage
earners will make most rapid prog
ress among the states"
Labor federations in many other
states, notably California, Wisconsin
and New Jersey, according to the
statement, have also taken advanced
favorable action on the proposal for
sickness and maternity benefits for
the working millions and for pre-
vention of avoidable illness.
"The bill just adopted by the Fed
Grafton of Labor in New York and
the Illuminating report by its COM
mittee on health" the Association
declares, "embody the well tested
principles which practical experience
among our allies has proved to be
necessary. The insurance is made
to cover all employees, the employ
ers and workers to contribute equal
ly to the cost and share equally in
the management of the mutual sick
funds, under the general supervision
of the state Special maternity care
for wives of insured workmen and
for. working mothers is provided.
The active cooperation of organized
labor, upon definite and feasible
proposals, will influence largely the
course of health insurance legisla-
ton in the United States as the
next step following workmen's COM
pensation for the protection of the
industrial population against evils
which accompany sickness disability"
NEW YORK, March 1.-"Health
insurance is going to come just as
sure as workmen's compensation
came. To US, as wage earners,
there are two courses open. Either
we may hold back blindly until a
bill is passed which is disadvantage
Gus and burdensome, or we may
have bill so drafted as to protect
and promote the interests of or
ganized labor"
This declaration is made in a
comprehensive report on workmen's
health insurance, issued today for
general distribution among interest
ed unions, by the committee on health
of the New York State Federation of
Labor, of which Commissioner James
M. Lynch of the State Industrial
Commission is chairman.
