AFE INSURANCE COMPANY
ORGANIZED BY ST. LOUIS MEN
lRy the Assoeiated Negro Press

(By the Associated Negro Press)
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE Doug
las Life Insurance company is now
one Of the strongest business ventures
of the colored people in this city
This has been brought about by a big
toosting campaign among the colored
people themselves. Discrimination
practiced by the white companies was
the chief reason for the initiation OF
the campaign, although the need for
giving practical encouragement to
race business ventures also entered
lately into the matter.

AN7!-UN|oN|STS
National Metal Trades Discon-
tinues Help Wanted AldVer-
tisements in Papers.

CINCINNATI Nov. 4. - The local
branch Of the National Metal Trades
association. that is opposing the wage
demands of organized machinists, has
instructed its members to discontinue
"help wanted advertisements until
further notice"
These anti-unionists proclaim their
right Ito run their own business" but
their union now notifies them to stop
advertising until further notice."
The extensive advertisements, it is
stated. are Of doubtful value because
they encourage the strikers and .'bus-
mess is declining in all lines through
out the country"
The ants might also state that the
machinists are winning their strike.
In another appeal the ants ask
contributions for the home guard. In
his letter, President Dean says:
II would Of course be indiscreet to
put into a letter everything 1 know
about conditions here, making it alb
solutely necessary to maintain the
home guard, but let me state to you
most emphatically that they are very
plain, very direct and very necessary"
The machinists say strikebreakers
are CARRIED in the uniform Of the
home guard for the purpose of pro-
voktng violence. and that there has
been no violence and property is not
endangered because Of the strike.

WOULD NOT FALL
!. FOR kANSASL Law
Governor Of Oklahoma Will Have
Nothing to % with Kansas
.Anti-Strke Law. =

OKLAHOMA CRY, Okla, Nov. A.
Allen Of Kansas made lit
tie progress in his attempt to interest
this state in his ''can't-strike" law
on the occasion Of his recent visit.
When the Kansas executive ex-
planned his wondrous statesmanship
Governor Robertson, in pubic state
ment, said:
II am against the industrial court
I have said I was opposed to it in
speeches over fhe state. and 1 am
glad, to say it agaifn.
"Such plan as they have in Kan
sas places entirely too much power
in the hands Of the court. Such a.
court must have power If it is to
function at ALL But from the nature
Of the case. the power Of the indus
trial court provides for invading the
private lives Of the citizens, fixing
wages and regulating conditions of
work in manner that may become
oppressive to either labor or capital.
State socialism is an easy step
from the industrial court. If We can
establish court Of that sort under
our constitution. any other sort of
state regulation of affairs that should
be allowed to the freedom of the in
dividual becomes possible. It would
mean an upsetting of our entire gov
ernnental system"

Commissioner of Education
Urges Minimum Wage for
Public School Teachers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE av-
erage salary Of public school teachers
should be $4,000, said P. P. Claxton,
federal commissioner of education,
who declares that now is 1.-The real
crisis lin education and the time has
arrived when the public must either
pay good salaries for good teachers
or poor salaries for make-shift
teachers"
The educator expressed the belief
that although the purchasing power
Of the dollar would increase, $4,000
for teachers in the elementary and
secondary schools should be paid.
This is three times as much as the
average for the year 1918. and
more than $50 per cent above the
average for 1919-20.
For teachers of the first class"
he said, I'VE must pay salaries larger
relatively than We have paid at any
time in the past and must adopt a
policy which will hold them against
the temptation of better pay else.
where. Temporary INCREASES will not
be sufficient. There must be such
guaranty OF good wages as will induce
young men and women to accept
teaching as profession and take the
time and spend the money necessary
to prepare themselves for it."

STATE
FUND DEFECTIVE
Compulsory State. Insurance
Offers Only Guarantee Of
So|vency Of Fund.

ALBANY, NJ. T., Nov. 4.-Uninsur-
ance under the state compensation
law is q great social and economic
wrong, is the view of Bernard l..
Shientag, chief counsel Of the state
insurance commission. who says:
despite all Of the commission's
efforts to eliminate this evil, there
will always be employers who violate
this important statute, whether
through ignorance, negligence or will
full disregard of their legal obligations.
Such derelictions will result in many
cases of hardship to the victims of
industrial accidents and their families.
It becomes Important therefore, to
consider some plan whereby all en-
ployers of the state, who fail to carry
the compensation insurance Required
by law, would be automatically in
sured, perhaps under some special
group in the state insurance fund.
The state would be empowered to col
lect premiums in those cases through
some summary method with penalty
added. There are, of course, many
difficulties standing in the way of
such a plan. Care must be taken to
avoid burdening the employers who
comply with the law with any Of the
losses created through the misconduct
of those violating its provisions
Should the experience Of the next
year or so demand it, a plan along
such lines will undoubtedly have to
be adopted if the community is to re-
ceive the full economic and socia!
benefits that the workmen's compen-
sation law was designed to afford

START FlCH ON
. GOOD ORDINANCE
Building Managers Don't: Want
Plumbers Licensed and 0p-
!. pose Action BY Council.

The building managers, always look
ing out for their own interests and
ever ready: to strike at legitimate
trade, appeared at the council meeting
Monday afternoon to protest against
the passage Of the ordinance to IL
cense and regulate plumbing in the
city Of Duluth. 4,
The ordinance strictly provides that
no person but a licensed plumber who
is experienced ana trained shall be
permitted to.~change or install any
plumbing connections with sewers. The
building managers insist that such g.
provision will prohibit their engineers
from detng plumbing work about Of
flee buildings.
There is some work an engineer or
any other such mechanic can do with
out plumbing. He can cut pipe and
fit 1t. but when he comes to lamp
er1ng with sewer work he is usually
out Of his latitude. He don't have to
live during working hours in offices
and other places where he does his
work, and the. plumbing inspector
never has a chance to inspect it.
Building owners don't seem to care
anything about whether or not plumb
ing fixtures are connected in sanitary
manner with sewer pipes. so long as
the sewage runs off quickly. That is
the main point with them. The matter
Of deadly escaping sewer gas is of no
consequence :toS+them.
If plumbing work can be installed
cheaply. and the cheaper it is installed
the better they like it, that is all they
are looking TO The health Of their
tenants is Of no csequence. Cost and
rent are the big things.
Public health requires the strictest
supervision Of the installation of all
plumbing work in the city and partic-
u1ar1y in all places where tenants re-
side or have offices. 1t is the commits
sion's duty to protect their health.

BY Associated Press To Every Evening
Paris, Oct. 1.-The long hunger strike
Of Mayor MacSwiney of Cork has caused
much discussion here as TO how long IL is
possible for man To fast DIR. Socquet
has told the Paris Midi that the record
is 63 days without food set by William
Granier in 1891.
"Granicr had been sentenced to death,
and WIS confined in the prison Of Tou-
louise" said DIR. Socquet. "IIe had a
horror OF the g,lllotine and To save him
self from death by that instrument deter
mined to starve, which he did after 63
days.
MANY h,lngcr-strikers have lived longer
than could have been expected, he went
on. There are the cases Of Tanner, Succ
and Mcrlatti, the latter Of whom starved
for 4S days while he lost one-quarter OF
his weight. Taylor tells of the case Of
worker who was imprisoned IN nine
for GO days without food He lived three
days after his rescue and died as a result
of being excessively fed. Many lunatics
have refused to take food for 20, 30 or
even 40 days.
mo rule can be established IA to length
of time man can fast. His endurance
will depend upon his previous health. his
constitution and slso upon his spiritual
condition which is very important. 1t is
well known that a starving man may in
crease his endurance a great deal by
drinking water"
