M'ADOO ISSUES
LABOR ORDERS
Advises Against Apparent Ar
bitrary Action in Hand
ling Wage Disputes

Washington. Feb. 2S.-Regional
railroad directors have been caution
ed against any action in labor dis
rutes which might appear arbitrary,
said Director-General McAdoo in a
statement issued last night. particu-
larlE because railway labor men still
have suspicion that executives.
while working under Government
control, are seeking to discredit
federal management. The statement
also discloses instructions given the
feSlonal directors on many other
subjects.
You should hear in mind" say the
Instructions, that labor has the very
natural feeling that railroad man.
ayers, although now working for the
Government and on Government ac-
count, necessarily continue the same
conception of and attitude toward la
Dor problems that they had when
acting under private management.
NJ Interruption
The general policy as to all labor
is that there shall be no interruption
of work because of any controversies
between employers and employees
Most disputes. the instructions
said, sholud be referred to the direc-
tor-general, who VIII deal with them
through the railroad administration
division of labor. headed by W. ;.
Carter. or through the Railroad
Wage Commission, said Mr.. McAdoo.
Mr.. Carter now is considering the
formation of a permanent mediation
board to assist him in settling dis
putes after the Wage Commission has
completed its work and turned in its
general recommendations on wage
scales.
Mr.. McAdoo also has instructed the
regional directors to investigate and
report on the following subjects:
Curtailment of passenger service.
discontinuance of diminution of
freight solicitation, elimination of
the existing duplication of freight
and passenger service, discontinuance
OF slowing down OF fast freight
service. unification of purchases and

document that gave me citizenship

l have lived for 40 years. l have re-
ceived what little 1 possess of a free

permitted to live in and enjoy land
of public schools. colleges and
churches. l have been protected in
my rights in matters of religion and
conscience. and in all of these years
l have not been asked to make a
single sacrifice for my Country.
To-day my Country needs and
calls for help, and am l to be one OF
those who selfishly take all and give
nothing in return?

Into Sinking Of u. S.
Naval Tug Cherokee
BY .4ssocintci PrcSs

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-Rear Ad-
miral Tappan, commandant of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, has begun
an investigation into the sinking of
the naval tug Cherokee on orders
from Washington. Twenty-nine
members of the crew including
Junior Lieut.. Edward d. Newell.
commander of the vessel, were lost
when it foundered in a gale off the
Maryland coast.
Lieut.. Newells wife and Mrs. Ell
vira Martin, wife of A. A. Martin, a
second class petty officer, who was
rescued from the sea after the dis
aster, declared here to-day that their
husbands had repeatedly informed
them the Cherokee was unseaworthy.
Many a time my husband told me
the Cherokee was unsafe" said Mrs.
Newell. His death was unnecessary.
He protested over and over again to
the navy yard here and in New York
of the danger TO his crew. He said
the boat was not fit to go up and
down the Delaware river"
Mrs. Martin gave out a letter from
her husband, written yesterday, in
which he reminded her of predic-
ton that the Cherokee would go to
the bottom. Remember | told you

INSURANCE MEN
HEAR DR.HUEBNER
Life Underwriters Addressed
at Annual Dinner by
Noted Authority

The function of life insurance is
to provide a necessary income for
the direct beneficiaries of the policy
rather than to be handed down to
the second or third generation. in
which the policyholder who has paid
the premiums by his own effort is
only remotely interested.
This was one of the thoughts ex-
pressed by DR.. Solomon S. Huebner
head of the insurance department
of the Wharton School of Finance
and Commerce, of the University of
pennsylvania, who spoke at the an
nual dinner of the Central PennsyI-
Vania Association of Life Under
writer's at the Engineers Club last
evening. More than fifty members.
some of them graduates of the
Wharton School. were present and
President A. A. Vert, of the associ-
alton, was toastmaster.
DIR. Huebner who is ono of the
most noted authorities on life in
surance in the country, having
rounded the first insurance depart
ment in any college fourteen years
ago at the Wharton School, spoke
Tor more than two hours on the sub
Ject, The Change of Economic
Thought and How Life Insurance
Meets It. DIR. Huebner's textbook
on insurance is in use in every one
of the seventy-four schools and uni
versities where insurance courses
are taught and more than 500 stu
dents are now taking the insurance
course in the Wharton School.
One of the points made by DIR
Huebner in discussing the import
ance of disability clauses in life in
surance was that "it is just as seri-
Gus matter for the dependants
of a man if he die economically as
if he die actually" DR.. Huebner
urged the underwriters to back up
in every way possible the Govern
ment's effort to have every soldiers
life insured in the Federal fund .

THE sale of Thrift Stamps i.

The sale of Thrift Stamps is
looking up
So said Postmaster Sites to-day
and he ought to know for he is
chief custodian of the stamps in this
district.
Boys and girls. according to Mr..
Sites, are preparing to do their part.
Many boys are engaging in spring
cleanup work. Others will have
war gardens the coming summer and
funds from the sales of produce will
go into Thrift Stamps.
But not only are young folks en-
gagged in the campaign. Hundreds
OF men and women are setting by a
small sum each week to invest in
stamps. Some of them are arrang-
ing to add a quarter each to their
weekly budget for this purpose.
Mail men and insurance men are
doing good work as statesmen
The local campaign committee is
deeply interested in it's work ana
much gratified by the increased
sales.
