HEALTH INSURANCE

The tragedy of sickness to the
wage-earner has been vividly pictured
by Warren H. Pillsbury, of the Cali
fornia Industrial Accident Commits
sion, who urges compulsory health in
surance as the only effective and
economical method of coping with i'll
ness among workers, which is at
present costly burden to society.
"The present method of handling
illness Of wage-earners," he says, "is
as follows: The workman becoming
i'll, struggles to remain at work as
long as possible to avoid loss of
wages, and refuses to go to a physi-
clan until the last moment because of
fear of expense, thus preventing
treatment at the time it is most effect
i've, the early stages of the illness.
When finally obliged to leave work,
the income of himself and his family
is ended. His savings will seldom

Set Child Standards

Washington - Minimum standards
for the welfare of working children
were drawn up in tentative form as
result of a three days conference on
child welfare standards, held in this
city. These standards will be further
discussed at regional conferences to
be held during the next three weeks
in several cities under the auspices of
the chidrens' bureau of the United,
States department of labor.
Sixteen is set as the lowest age at
which children can go to work in any
occupation during the months when
school is in session. Nine months
schooling, either part or full time, for
children between 7 and 18 years is
proposed as the minimum educational
standard. A child of 16 cannot go to
work unless he has completed the
eight grade. Education beyond the
eighth grade is to be provided for en-
ployed children between 16 and 18
years old by attendance at day or con-
tinuation schools.
The work day of minors shall never
be longer than eight hours and for
children between 16 and 18 years shall
be less than the adults working day.

last for more than week or two of
idleness. He then becomes a charge
upon relatives, friends and public
charity. Worry over his financial
condition prolongs his illness. In
ability to procure necessary medical
and surgical appliances or to take
proper rest or sanatorium treatment
delays recovery. The children are
taken from school prematurely and
put to work without adequate prepar-
alton or allowed to go upon the
streets. Eventually he may go to the
county hospital for a long period of
time, and his wife will be taken care
of by the Associated Charities, or will
undertake work beyond her strength
and in turn become i'll. The employer
has to break a new man into the work.
The community, friends or relatives
have to support the family, and the
man is ineffciently and haphazardly
taken care of because of lack of or
ganized social endeavor to meet the
problem presented"

Pass Seven Labor Bills

Lansing, Mich.-Seven bills framed
by organized labor were passed by the
Michigan legislature during the re-
cent session. One prohibits under
penalty of fine and Imprisonment, sex
discrimination in the payment of
wages. Another bill enlarges the
compensation rights under the work
ingmen's compensation act. A bill
strongly opposed by the Detroit
United Railway limits work in all oc-
cupations where the service is con-
tinuous to six days in the seven. An
other measure requires that all vesti-
bules of electric railway cars be heat
ed. The 54-hour working week for
specified employment is amended to
include in these employments women
conductors, women operators of ele-
vators and women employees of the
aters and other places of amusement.
Under the provisions of another act
bumpers on electric cars must be of
the same height from the top of the
rail to the center of the coupler.

A SETTLEMENT ACT
DEFRAY LIVING COSTS WHILE
SETTLERS TRAIN
Would Place the Returning Soldiers
on Farms and Provide an Allow
ance While Receiving the
Necessary Training

Ottawa, Can.-The Dominion soldier
settlement act, which is intended to
place returning soldiers on the land,
is being applied by the government in
an energetic manner.
To carry out the spirit of the act
the government has ordered allow
ances to be paid for the support Of
families of settlers. The allowances
apply to soldiers who are receiving
training at an agricultural center and
their dependents, and for those SOL
diers who are receiving agricultural
training while employed with the
farmer, and their dependents. In the
first case, if man is married, he may
receive maximum of $50 a month,
which includes $35 for himself and
wife and $25 for his children. Lower
maXlmums are announced for un-
married men and for men who are
being trained while they are living
with farmers. These allowances are
outside of any money the settler may
receive for work done on farms.
Under this soldier settlement act
any discharged member of the Can
adian military forces or widow of
same will be loaned money up to
$4,000 to purchase land The settler
is required to pay 10 per cent cash
down on the purchase, but this can
be waived in the case of one who has
had agricultural experience or who
| is regarded as desirable settler.
The loan is repayable in 25 years at
per cent interest. After the settler
has secured his land the government
may loan him money up to $4,000 for
the purchase of livestock, implements
and other equipment, and loans up to
81 1000 for the erection of buildings.

Staying in School
Paying Proposition

Washington-The value of staying
at school is stated in dollars and cents
in figures compiled by the bureau of
education and now being distributed
to boys and girls throughout the coun-
try by the children's bureau.
From a study of large number of
actual cases it had been found that at
% years of age the boy who remained
in school until he was 18 had received
$4,000 more salary than the boy who
left school at ID, and that the better
educated youth was then receiving
more than 5000 year more in pay.
"This is equivalent to an invest
ment of $4,000, at 5 per cent" the
statement said. "Can a boy increase
his capital as fast in any other way?
"From this time on the salary of
the better-educated boy will rise still
more rapidly, while the earnings of
the boy who left school at IA will in
crease but little"
Whlle wages have increased with
the war, the proportions shown in d
table of weekly earning still hold
true, the statement said. The boy
who left school at IA at the time the
investigation was made received an
average of $4 week, his wages In
creasing each year to 81 a week at 1S.
The boy who remained in school until
he was Is began work at $40 a week.
At 20 the salaries were $3.50 week
for the boy who left scchool early and
SIS for his better trained competitor.
At rs they were earning $12.75 and
$31, respectively, and total wages up
to that time had been $5,112.5O and
$7337.5O, so that the boy who remain
ed in school had earned nearly so per
cent more in eight years than the
other had in II years.

Labor Must Meet
Educational Tasks

Salt Lake City, Utah-The Labor
News warns labor that it must meet
the educational tasks in the following
language:
Education of the public to right
understanding of organized labor, of
it's true principles and higher ideals,
is the great task that confronts the
working man today. Education is
essential to the creation of favorable
public sentiment, to the enlistment of
public support. Public sentiment is
the handspring of achievement and
public support is the assurance of ac-
complishment. Public sentiment and
public support are the essential ele
ments of the one invincible power in
the world-unity.
Labor is seeking to achieve unity.
Hence the task that lies before it of
educating the people of the world to a
proper understanding of the aims and
objects of labor. This task is no mean
one, because of the long and adroiJly
conducted campaign of misinforma-
tion which has been maintained by
the enemies of organized labor to pre-
judice it in the eyes of the world.
"Organized capital, of the auto
cratic brand, has conducted a ceaseless
campaign of propaganda to saddle the
undeserved odium of anarchism, l. w.
W.-ism, bolshevism and all the other
'isms' upon the name of organized
labor. 1t has sought by every means
to make the word union synonym
for destructive conspiracy instead of
constructive cooperation as it really
is. By this mud-slinging method its
enemies have been able to place an
undeserved stain upon the name of
labor, but through the medium of
education labor will remove an un-
welcome and unwarranted odium and
reveal itself in its true light to the
world.

ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN

The condition of the difficulties
existing between Engineers and Fire
mems Local No. $50 and several manu-
featuring plants in the city remains
practically the same as last week,
although some of the men have been
restored to their former positions at
the Central Power Co.'s plant. The
Kelsey Co. and the American Bottle
Co. are each still endeavoring to run
their places with in efficient scab la
Dor with extremely unsatisfactory re-
suits. The office force at Heisey's
suffered greatly from the recent cold
snap, being compelled to work in un-
heated rooms, which resulted IN
severe colds which in one or two in
stances nearly terminated in pneu-
monia.
The members of the local union
still remain true to their obligations,
and are more than ever determined to
spare no honorable efforts to secure
a recognition of their rights. The
recent victory of the molders at the
Simpson foundry has injected new
life into their ranks and all will re-
main firm until success crowns their
efforts.

All Demands of Employees of Simpson
Foundry Granted
Eight Hour Day and Increase in Wages is Result
of Two Weeks Strike
With the Exception of Few Reinstatements at Central
Power Co. Plant the Engineers and Firemens Mat
ter in Same Condition as Last Week

The members of Iron Moulders
Union No. 205, who became tired of
the unsettled conditions existing at
the Simpson foundry and decided to
bring the matter to settlement by
striking two weeks ago, have won out
in every particular.
The old contract and wage scale ex-
pired October 1st last year, at which
time the new one calling for a $500
eight hour day was submitted. This
was turned down by the management
and the strike and walk-out of May
13 resulted.
A settlement to the satisfaction of
both parties was effected last Satur-
day, and Monday morning the men re-
turned to work, having been granted
all their demands together with back
pay from Oct. /, 1918.
Previous to the adjustment of the
trouble the employees at the Simpson
foundry were the only molders in the
city working nine hour day, every
other foundry had long since recog-
nized the justice and wisdom of adopt
ing the almost universal eight hour
day.
Mr.. Herzog, superintendent of the
Foundry Co., has displayed good
judgment in acceding to the demands
of the local union and thus ending d
strike which undoubtedly would in the
end prove detrimental to the interests
of all parties interested. His action
is especially gratifying at this time,
particularly as his position as presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce
brings his attitude toward organized

NOT "WAR-W WORN"
GOMPERS WONT QUIT-SCORNS
ALL "SYMPATHY"
Declares He is Not a Gutter and Does
Not Seek an Easy Berth-Still
Active and LOyal-StOry
Work of Enemies

New York-President Gompers has
rejected the sympathy" of those who
would create an honorary A. F. of l..
office for him because he is "war-
worm" The plan was printed in a
local newspaper, under Washington
date, and stated that the suggestion
was being considered because of the
death of President Gompers' daughter,
the lines of his wife, his own recent
accident and the fact that he was
"war-worn."
This sort of sympathy" had con-
trary effect on the A. F. of L. execu-
tive, who issued this statement:
"The enemies of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who would weaken
or destroy it, have every year pub
licly declared and privately avowed
their determination to defeat me at
each forthcoming convention. They
hide their hatred of the American
Federation of Labor by aiming their
shafts of bitterness and opposition at
me.
'I am neither war-worn, nor weary
of the work. | am not gutter, nor
can there be any easy berth provided
for me. l shall be the president OF
the American Federation of Labor or
a worker among the rank and file.
"Those who want to get rid of me
as president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor will have to try their
hand at the convention, where the
bona fide delegates will have their
right of selection, nor can l be coaxed
out of service by a pretense' OF over
kindness.
"When ferreted down, the rumor
that | desire to retire from the presi-
dency of the American Federation of
Labor, will be found in the wish of
some one who hates me for my Amer1-
canism or for my loyalty to the cause
of labor, and who has conceived this
gentle method of trying to dispatch
me from the field of active work IN
the great cause of labor, justice and
humanity"
