This strike is a strike against New
England because union leaders object
to a procedure established by a de

200 miles. setting new records. Next
the Super-Six made ESQ miles at the
rate of l0l miles an hour. Such speed
even for a single mile would send many

account Of this fact the insurance
companies are not justified in cancel
ling fire insurance in this territory any
more than they could permanently
cancel fire insurance in San Francisco
which might be visited by another
earthquake tomorrow. Indeed the
risk is greater in that city than in
northern Minnesota.
Appeal to Legislature.
This situation is called to the atten-
ton of the Duluth members of the
legislature who are now urging pas
sage of laws having for their purpose
the rehabilitation of the devastated
area. All they plan will fail unless the
settlers are given some guarantee of
securing insurance on their homes,
barns and household goods. They will
be willing to assume other risks, but
this risk they can not take.
If there is no other way out of it,
this state is rich enough. and it's people
are sufficiently courageous to venture
into a business they are perfectly ca
pable of financing if the private COM
panies persist in their present arbi-
trary and unreasonable course.

In this way they destroy the very life

have a checker over every action Of

given $40 to $12 a month when you
