days of closed shops the stores re-
sumed their usual practice Of opening
short time Sunday mornings.
The pastors in their call upon the
selectmen, it is understood, asked that
the Sunday closing laws be enforced

tors as a special constable for this
work and that the appointment was

the result. No attempt upon the part
Of the out-of-town deputy or Deputy

Want New Company
To UnderWrite
Strike Insurance

Baltimore, Jan. 1O-Though COM
pany, created to underwrite strike in
Surance, went into liquidation after a
little more than q year of existence
| it is stated that a large number OF
employers, familiar with the plan and
it's benefits, are inSistent that new
company be formed. The executives
of the old company, theiNrore, arc
about to organize another one upon
plan which they say will contain
the best features of the old concern
hut with certain changes found nee
essary through experience.
A widespread series of strikes dur
ing the past year. coupled with bust
ness depression was responsible for
the failure of the old company the
former management asserted.
1t is pointed out that strike insur-
ance has become standardized in Eu :
rope, where it is claimed, experience
has proved it not only the practical
means for distributing the money
loss caused by strikes, but was even
more useful in promoting unity Of
purpose among employers.
The local company was operated
on a mutual basis with an assess
ment legally limited to an amount
equal to the annual premium. Speci-
fic items insured by such a plan are
the fixed charges. that is. all expen-
ses which necessarily continue
whether the plant is in operation or
not.
Premium rates have a wide range
They vary according to the actual
strike experience of each class of in
dustry covering a period of many
years. adjusted with regard to local
ity and the working conditions found
in each establishment.
From the practical insurance view
point, the contract is really the
standard Use and Occupancy" in
surance. the chief difference being the
cause of loss, which. in this case, is
a strike instead of fire, explosion or
other physical disaster.
Strike insurance, its advocates con-
tend, is business necessity to meet
the losses caused by strikes. Besides
furnishing indemnity they argue that
it affords practicable means or uni
flying employers of all industries and
localities in the same way as the
labor unions collectively act for the
benefit of workers. They insist that
it il not conceived in q spirit hostile
