UNION PROVIDES LIFE INSURANCE
 AT LOW COST
Electrical Workers Benefit Associa- ton Issues Report of Work
 in Insurance Lines.

Washington, Oct 26-The Electrt- cal Workers Benefit Association of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers collected in dues $524,8oo and paid out in death bene- fits $225 5,ooo from January, 1922, to July, 1923, according to the report of the trustees published in the Journal of Electrical Workers and Operators, the official organ of the brotherhood.
 The benefit association was organ ized in January, 1922, with nest egg of $Ioo,ooo transferred from the brotherhood For the period covered by the report the total income amounts to $755,645, and total ex- penses $277,7o5. There is a balance on hand in cash and invested funds of $477,87o.
 The brotherhood maintained a ben eft feature for II years prior to the organization of the benefit associa- ton in 1922. Under the old organ ization the maximum benefit was $500. Under the association the max imum has been raisd to $I,ooo after five years continuous good standing in the brotherhood During the II years $482,445 was paid out for 2,o2o deaths, with an average of 3.34 deaths per 1000 members per year.
 The death records of the brother hood show that approximately one third of the deaths are caused by the hazards of the electrical workers oc- cupation or by violent means.
 In a comparison of the cost of management of the brotherhood's benefit association with five mutual and fraternal orders with death in surancs reveals that the brotherhood heads the list with management cost~of but 58 cents per member. while in the five orders the per capita cost varies from $3.63 to $5.o8.
