STATE INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
UNLESS COMPULS sorry WILL FAIL

The private casualty companies do
ing business in Minnesota are surely
lucky lot, or they are mighty powerful
in their influence.
At the opening of the legislature
Governor Burnquist devoted a portion
Of his message to a defense Of private
insurance and against organized Ia
boris demand for state industrial in
surance, or to be more accurate, to
the state administration of the work.
ingmen's compensation act. The lam
guage used by him is exactly the same
as that used by the officials of the
insurance companies in theiE: propa-
ganda against state insurance.
Now comes the Duluth News Trib-
une in opposition to a state industrial
insurance policy: 1t does not oppose
an elective plan of state insurance,
but it strenuously objects to the pas
sage of a law that will make it COM
pulsory for employers to insure with
the state, and which will deny them
the privilege Of insuring with private
companies.
If the News Tribune knew Of the
experience of elective state insurance
throughout the world we are sure its
sense of fairness would prompt it to
oppose the establishment of any such
plan in Minnesota. Wherever it has
been tried it has been failure. On
the other hand wherever the compul-
sorry plan has been adopted it has been
a success.
Sweden adopted the elective plan.
What was the result? The private
companies underbid the state in TAX,
ing all the light hazardous risks. They
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1919-03-01

refused the hazardous risks and the.
state was forced to accept them;
There was no chance for the state to
spread out it's loses from the extra
hazardous to the light hazardous risks,
and it was entirely optional with the
private companies as to the risks they
would take. The state had no such
option. The cost Of carrying the in
surance was therefore heavy to the
state, and light to the private COM
panies.
Norway adopted the compulsory
plan. 1t was a success from the OUT
set. England, the home of private
casualty companies. tolerated them
until they became unbearable,, and
then Parliament was forced to take
over the entire business. Germany
made it impossible for them to exist
within the empire, for wherever they
were permitted to do business the
working people were denied the full
measure Of compensation to which
they were entitled.
The states, Of Washington and Ohio
have adopted the compulsory plan of
state insurance. Ohio first. timidly
tried the elective plan, but after two
years found it failure and took over
the entire business. Surely we can
profit from the experience of other
countries and other American states
on this great question. Organized la
Dor has nothing against the private
insurance companies as such. but they
are an extra load to carry, and they
should have gone out of the compen-
sation business with the personal in
jury attorney.

BRIGHTEN FARMERS ON
new STATE 8-HOuR Law

The legislature this week passed the
eight-hour law for all state employees.
Some one got busy and used the old
scare on the farmers about paying
time-and-a-half to milk maids for
working more than the eight-hour
day, and strange to say some farmers
fell for it. although for the life of us
we cannot see how the law will hit a
single privately owned farm in Min
nesota.
A move was made in the house
Wednesday to recall the bill from the
senate, but it failed. There probably
was one word for the farmer in the
opposition to the law. and a hundred
for the city employers who would turn
the heavens if they could to head of
the eight-hour workday.

Hogs Dying Near Logan

Logan, Ia, Feb. 4.-Twenty-seven
of the S6 head Of hogs poisoned OF: the
James Owens farm west Of Logan,
are reported dead, this morning, and
little or no hope of saving any except,
perhaps, two or three. Among the
theories advanced for the mysterious
death of the hogs is knockout drops
administered to the hogs to prevent
squealing when loading and that the
hog thieves gave too great dose, and
that the vicious barking Of the family
dog drove the thieves away before
they could load the hogs.

Dear Mother and All;
Well at last / am back with my

out that Lyle had been in the hospital.

for awhile when on my way here. You
see our train was about 40 cars long
and we had two engines, one in front
and one behind. The one in front
put on its breaks and the one behind
kept on pushing. AS result the car
/ was in, and the one behind it, reared
up on end and rolled off the track.
My car was turned up side down.

bit, but what's the difference whether

box car?
There is certainly some beautiful
scenery along the Moselle and Rhine
rivers. There are great many old
castles and Cathedrals along these
two rivers. / am sending you few
views that have and will send more
in a couple of days. From one of
them you can get an idea of some of
the French and German trains. Some

Dec. IL, 1918.
Dear Grandpa and Grandma:
Been going to write to you for .
long time but never seemed to get
time. We have been just as busy the
last month as we were while the war
was on. a
We pulled into the harbor Of Brest
Feb. 10, and took a four day trip into
France to Chateau william. We worked
around the near towns, putting up
barracks and barns and drilling,
until June %, when we left for the
Alsace front, which was very quiet.
We stayed there until July 81, when
we left for the Chateau Thierry front.
We went through Paris about Up. m.
on the 25th, in box cars, so we didn't
see much Of the place. We arrived
at Chateau Thierry about midnight on
the 9th and moved out to the front
the next night We are with the S2nd
Division.
We stayed on that front until Aug.
oath when we moved over to Pierre
fonds. From there we moved to the
front at Tartiers, north OF Scissors
We moved back from there Sept. 6,
and went to Moxan Court where we
rested for 10 days. From there we
moved toward the Verdun front. We
arrived at Fluery, Sept. 23rd, and
moved toward Avacourt where we
were on the morning of the 9th, the
morning after the big drive started
there. We moved along as the Ger
mans fell back and were in the lines
east of Dun on the morning of Nov
18th, when the guns quit firing.
On the 10th we started on our long
march to the Rhine. We went thru
Longwy, France into Belgium, across
into Luxembourg to Echternach. Or
Dec. list. we crossed the river at
/, Saffig and can see the hills that they
say are on the other side of the
/ Rhine. The part of Germany we came
through was all hills and you sure
I, do have to walk some to to get any
distance.
One more hike ought to take us t.
our destination, which is some towr
on the Rhine near Coblenz. We vii
all be glad when we start back TOWARD
the States. Have not slept in a bee
or had my clothes off to sleep since
last July, but have felt better ovel
here than ever did before.

Both Democratic and Re-
publican Clubs Meet Tonight

Following a short interval of mac
tivity as an aftermath of the prima-
ries both parties are now again start
ing the machines which will compete
in the general elections on November
4. Today is Governors Day at the
Trenton fair and several local and
county Republican leaders are attend
ing.
Tonight both the Perth Amboy
Democratic and Republican Clubs are
holding meetings in their club rooms.
At the Democratic meeting Lieut..
Meaney, of Jersey City, one of the
speakers who talked here in behalf Of
Senator Edward I. Edwards when the
Democratic ~guernatorial nominee
visited here a few weeks ago, will adj
dress tonight's meeting. Both city
and country nominees will be given a
boost at tonight's meeting n a large
attendance is expected.
The Republicans have not arranged
for any out of town speaker and VIII
devote their time to o~utlaying a sys-
tenn of c~anvassing the city in order
that every Republican vote might be
secured.
Prospects at present are that the
vote will be polled this year will be
the largest in the city's history. The
close races for county and city posi-
tions are expected to interest many
men eligible to vote who have not
cast their ballots at some elections.
On Tuesday night of next week the
Second Ward Republican Club will
hold another meeting. The candidacy
of Frank Tooker, Republican candi-
date for alderman in the second
ward, will be given a boost at this
meeting.
