DiSinteFeSted Witnesses

FOR TWENTY-THREE YEARS the
readers OF The Enquirer have been told
almost every week that the MUTUAL
BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY was and is THE BEST Life In
surance Company in the world, and
during that time hundreds of people
have become convinced of the TRUTH
of the assertion, and acted on their
conviction, and today the Company has
more enthusiastic boosters than any
other company doing business in the
county. We know Of numerous in
stances where persons thinking of buy
ing life insurance, having been inter-
ested by agents representing other
companies, have sought the advice Of
Mutual Benefit Policy Holders, who
were also insured in from one to four
other companies, rs the BEST COM
pany in which to insure, and invariably
the MUTUAL BENEFIT has been
enthusiastically recommended. The
recommendation in each instance
Was based on the experience Of Dis
interested Witnesses.
You have a perfect right to insure
without investigating the MUTUAL
BENEFIT, as You Will Pay the
Freight-pay more and get less-but
you will always have reason to con-
gratulate yourself If you "Look Before
You Leap"

Seven thousand five hundred textile

left their work without disorder today
in protest against q. wage reduction
approximating 20 per cent. An addi-
tional 1000 workers were idle as the
result of shut down of the Arlington

sizes that have tied up the cotton in
dustry in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire for several weeks.
Organizers of the United Textile
Workers of America. who took charge
OF the situation today said 80 per cent
Of the workers were out and that the
results had been far beyond their ex-
pectations. Leaders of the One Big
Union, which also is interested in the
strike, claimed that their organization
had gained strength.
The mill owners also expressed sat
isfaction with the situation and said
they had expected the walkout to as
sumo larger proportions. Officials of
the Pacific mills, the largest of the
plants affected, said the mills would
reopen tomorrow. The Everett mills
will also open, it was announced.
