COAL SITUATION

It is plainly apparent that the with drawaI of the strike order affecting bitu- minous coal mines over the country which was recently carried out ill compliance with federal court instructions has not material ly changed the real strike status. From all reports received thru the medium of press despatchcs it is reasonable to conclude that only a small percentage of the union york; CTS have returned to work and 1t is prob ably true that most of the strikers will await some definite outcome of the wage scale conference at Washington
 Fuel Administrator Garfield $ warning to both the miners and operators that the public must be considered in any settlement reached is timely. It should be allowed to carry weight by both parties to the dispute. The miners should not insist upon nor the operators agree to a scale which would re- suit in cXhorbitant pricse being eNtorted from the coal consuming public either di- rectly or indirectly.
 For more than three days no word has come from Washington as to any progress being made by the conferees. Whether or not this is caused by deadlock having been reached is a matter for speculation, but normally such impenetrable silence would indicate that such was the case. And while the conference delays a settlement, the fuel supplies of the country are fast dwindIing to the zero point. The real gravity of the situation is shown by the consideration being given to a proposal to establish a nationwide freight embargo, forty per cent cut ill passenger train ser vice and the closing of non-essential in dustries, the latter step alone involving idIencss of 15,O00000 workers.
 Officially the United Mine Workers, the big national coal miners union, recog- nizes no strike. Officially it has been call ed off. But the fact remains that the workers stay out. And the Wallout, Wheth- CT direct action or not, is fairly success full tieup of the bituminous industry.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

The farms of the country contributed about one-fOurth of the man power of the forces of the United States engaged in the war.
 It is estimated than 100000 men who served in the army the navy and the marine corps were born and reared on American farms.
 A total of 4,539,O48 men took out war risk insurance, their aggregate policies to- talling nearly ,OO0,OOO,00O, and each policy averaging $8,700. Of this total in surance, service men from the farming dis tricts carried approximately $lO,420,00O,- 00O and by far the greater percentage of this insurance was made payable to wives, mothers, fathers and other relatives who reside on farms
 The average age of the men who fell in action, died of wounds or from other causes during the war, was 23 years, and because of their youth, by far the greater percentage were unmarried men. Which explains why AZ per cent of the policies taken out named mothers as beneficiaries, 16 per cent named fathers and only per cent named wives.
 In the original war risk act provision was made for the policies written on serv- ice men during the war to be continued as permanent government insurance To avail themselves of the opportunity to convert

United States government insurance 1t iS necessary that the men discharged from service continue to pay their monthly pre- miumS, and at some time during the five years following the formal declaration of peace that they convert into a permanent policy.
 From the record it appears that only about twenty-five per cent of the men who had insurance during the war are continu- ing to keep up their insurance. This is largely due to the fact that the men were unfamiliar with the provisions of the act, or that they have not felt financially able Ito carry their insurance at this time.
 To guard against any man losing his right to government insurance because of this condition the secretary of the treasury recently issued ruling allowing every man eighteen months in which he has the op- |portUity to rcinstate his insurance after he has allowed it to lapse because of non payment of premiums.
 This reinstatement privilege should be clearly understood. So long as a man is mot paying his premiums he is not insured. His reinstatement privilege merely gives him the right to again have government in surance without undergoing physical ex- animation, and upon the payment of two months premiums.
 A nation wide campaign has been in augurated for direct personal contact with former service men thru which they may be informed of their rights to permanent government insurance, and in this cam paign have been enlisted the American Red Cross, the Y. M c. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, the Y M H. A., the Boy Scouts, and numerous other national social welfare organizations. In addition more than 5OOOO life insurance agents have been enlisted. The volunteer roll further includes thousands of bankers, doctors, lawyers, manufacturers, other business men and representatives of all as sociations which come in contact with dis charged service men and their dependents
 The former service man who lives on the farm will be reached to large extent thru banks which have volunteered to serve
  risk insurance.
 There are six permanent forms of gov ernment insurance, as follows:
 l. 20-Year Endowment.
 ?. 3O-Year Endowment
 3. 2O-Payment Life.
 f. 30-Payment Life.
 ,. Endowment at age 62.
 6. Ordinary Life.
 Applications are being received by the bureau of war risk insurance for changing the present term insurance which was is sued at the time of entering the service, into the permanent forms.
 Ten features which prominently stand out in the government policy are as fol lows:
 l. The total permanent disability clause is granted without cost to the in .sured and it is free from all restrictions
 ?. Government insurance does not charge it's policy holders any overhead ex- |pense.
 3. It contains an extremely liberal definition of disability. 4. It glves very sustantlal payments ,. It contains no age restrictions.
 6. It is unrestricted as to travel, resi- dence or occupation.
 '. Premiums paid in advance are re- funded down to the month, in case of death
 8, The policy is non-taxable.
 g. Unusually liberal cash, loan, paid iup insurance and extended term insurance values are included
 10. It participates in dividends
