Return of All War Risk

Silver Medal of Honor
Men To Be Guests at
Benefit Sunday by the
S. Rankin Drew Post

A compromise bonus plan has been
introduced in Congress by Represen-
tative Anthony ]. Griffin, of the 22d
New York District, which he believes
IS solution to the problem.
The measure embodies features
strongly indorscd by Safe Commander
wade II. Hayes some time ago when it
looked as though the national com
through. In letter to The Tribune
representative Griffin SAYS of his meas
ure:
"ln lieu of a bonus (that term being
Objectionable in many quarters, as con-
veying the idea of favor granted
without right) I propose to return to
~ officers and men serving in the
orId War their war risk insurance
premiums, and to the enlisted person
mel all aliotments deducted from their
pay.
"This suggestion is predicatcd on
the theory that it was wrong in prin-
'!plc to require the soldier to assume
the risk of his calling-a risk which
should have been assumed by the gov
crnment
"Thc industrial employee, drawing.
good pay while the soldier and sailor
We're serving for a mere pittance, could
afford to pay for his own insurance.
he was risking his health, limb or life
only for himself. The soldier risked
all for his country
For the same reason the alotments
should not have been deducted from
the soldiers pay. He was entitled to
his $50 a month which Congress gave
HIM and which was little enough. This
shou d have been paid him without de-
duciion or Abatement
with these amounts refunded, which
were improperly deducted, each SOL
dier or SAILOR will have received sub
vice, and can hold up his head in in
dependence, without feeling that he is

Miners

Washington President Wilson has
refused the request of representatives
Of the anthracite coal miners to re-
convene the joint scale committee of
coal owners and miners for the pur-
pose of considering inequalities in the
recent award by the anthracite coal
commission. The president thanked
the trade unionists for their declara-
tion in favor of contract observance,
but in sisted that he could not yield
one iota to the men in the anthracite
coal fields who are violating the con
tract so recently entered into between
themselves, the coal operators and the
government of the United States !"

your efforts to get the men to return
to work and commend your stand in

1915 to have been entirely IN harmony
with the republican platform declara-
tions written in 1920"
Senator Harding's record as a
member Of the seventy-fftb Ohio gen
eraI assembly shows no vote unfavor-
able to labor.
Governor Cox's record, as governor
Of Ohio compiled by the Ohio State
Federation Of Labor shows that in
connection with 50 legislative meas
ures of interest to labor, no adverse
action was taken by him in single
instance.
The platform committee quotes
from Governor Cox's speech Of ac-
eeptance, i'm which he said
"The writ of injunction should not
be abused Intended as d safeguard

by abuse, cease to be the protective
device it was intended to be

Governor Coxs record as a member
Of the sixty-second congress shows
no vote unfavorable to labor.
In its summary Of these two records
of presidential candidates, the plat
form committee says
There can be but one conclusion
based upon q careful and impartial
survey Of the actions and declarations
Of the candidates. Governor Cox has
shown himself possessed of fuller
understanding of the needs Of the
working people, a reader response to
their needs and to their proposals,
and a broader statesmanship in his
public discussions Of the problems of
the industrial world
1T must be exasperating to the
whole American public that political
parties, bidding for the suffrage OF
the whole citizenship, cannot state in
definite terms what are their pro
posals and what are their pledges
I he same evaporation must be felt
regarding many of the utterances OF
candidates. However, the viewpoint
Of Governor Cox is, we find more
clearly expressed and less open to the
criticism of lack Of clarity
Moreover, and as an argument that

nomenal in the hysterical demand for
the repression Of labor to be heard
on every hand, from the powers in
control, throughout the nation" says
VIM NJ Short, president Of the Wash
ington State Federation Of Labor.
Every attempt at change il the
existing order Of things has had to
contend with the forces of repression.
This has been true since the begin

nature that the power that awakens

Ius forward also arouse the instincts
of self-preseyation in those whose
