ST, we shall easily find that it is very old inheritance, tradition, habit, and habit that is not justified under existing conditions. The thoughtful person knows that our po- llt1cal, religious, and economic views are largely formed and fastened by hered1ty and environment. During untold centuries war was the normal state of society. The Army was the only profession worthy of gentle man. It was the only road to fame and fortune, the only ladder upon which the common man could climb to noble heights and take his family with him. As the warrior who could slay with battle ax or spear the greatest number of his fellow men represented the highest type of citi- zenship, the men whom he slew and upon whose dead bodies he walked to position and power were entitled to an appreciation of a sort that would keep thir courage to the sticking point, otherwise the glorious profes- sion of arms would become unpopu- lar. The idea that no higher honors and no greater happiness could come to man than that found in death on the battle field was born about the time that our ancestors worshipped the god of war as the only true one and sacrificed human beings to pro- pitiate him.
 I am happy to say that our con- captions of the blessings and benefits resulting from wars have changed somewhat in recent times. In these days men fought for the sake of the fight; that is all the real gentlemen Now, they are supposed to fight in defense of the right only; and the right, of course, is their country. The idea that a man should be quick to defend his country in time of danger and patiently suffer all the sacrifices which may be necessary is as sound

TRADES UNIONS MAY ENTER FIELD
 OF INSURANCE
Cooperative Idea May Spread From Banking to Other Financial
 Matters.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Life insurance controlled by organized labor is a near probability, according to George w. Perkins, president of the Cigar makers International Union. At the last A. F. of L. convention, President Gompers was authorized to appoint a committee to make survey of the various life insurance systems.
 Billions of dollars are invested in the insurance business" says Presi- dent Perkins There is no reason why tse unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. should not jointly control the insurance for their members. Such a company could be conducted on cooperative, non-proht-bearing lines. The overhead cost would be greatly reduced, and if only one-half of the workers now organized joined in such a movement 1t would make the largest and most powerful insur- ance company fh the whole world and would be the cheapest and the safest.
 Such a concern, when formed, would necessarily, under the insur- ance laws, have to maintain a speci- fled reserve fund This fund could be used for home building purposes for our members and for any other legitimate proper purpose that owuld add to the comfort and well-being of the wage-earning masses.

LETTER CARRIERS WIN FIGHT FOR
 OVERTIME PAY
Washington at Last Orders Postnen Paid For Work Over
 Eight Hours.

The postmaster-general is deter mined that all local mail carriers re- ceive the overtime pay for deliveries which take more than the specified eight-hour day. To this end, all pos tai officials of the country have been instructed in a communication to rec ord all such overtime service and make payment in full.
 "It has been brought to the atten- ton of the department" the commit nication says, "that some postmasters are requiring their letter carriers to complete deliveries daily, but are not paying them for all overtime service. Such interpretation is not permissible as the law requiring payment for overtime service is mandatory"
 It Is further said that where the use of overtime Is necessary to complete deliveries and the allowance of the amount equal to $2.5o a carrier is in sufficient, a careful estimate should be made of the additional amount re- quired and application submitted for the necessary authorization.
 It has also been brought to the at tention of the department that com pensation has not always been grant ed for service performed on Sundays or holidays. On the other hand, in some cases postal employees have been to take compensatory time on two or more days for service per formed on any Sunday or holiday It is therefore desired, the communica- ton states, that careful attention be given to see that compensatory time is allowed to all employees for service performed on Sundays or holidays, and that such time be granted on a day in the following week or month, as the case may be, and not distribut- ed over two or more days

MINERS MEETING
 UPSETS HOPES OF
 TROUBLE MAKERS

Indianapolis, Jan. 26.-With the eyes of the country again on them and the mine operators hopmg they will start something that will give them another chance to gouge the public on the price of coal, the 1900 delegates to the sixth biennial convention of the United Mine Workers gathered here this week and immediately began to blast the hopes of the mine owners and raise the hopes of the consumer accordingly For at the outset President John L. Lewis made 1t plain to the world that the miners are not so much interested now in increased wages as in steady work and thus went the operators hopes of startingta "a wage war this spring. Not only that but the convention when 1t got under way, promptly sat on the attempts of Reds" to, start something and thus exploded another hope of trouble makers
 Although production of coal for 1923 was approximately five hundred and forty-five million tons, the miners in the industry worked on an average not to exceed half time, Lewis declared in his report
 Renewal of the existing miners wage contract with the operators for four years, was the prospect placed before delegates at its opening sessions.
 Delivering his report, President Lew

ENGINEERS WIN
 RAISE ON N. Y. (.
 OTHER ROADS HIT
Agreement Big Surprise and Will Act as Lever on More Niggardly
 Lines

New York, Jan. 26.-Announcem cement ment of the New York Central rail- road that an agreement has been reached with the engineers and fire men on practically all divisions and subsidiary lines of the road on wages and working conditions, and that the agreement provides for an increase in wages of approximately 5 per cent and certain changes in working con ditions. This IS the first settlement of the controversy which started with the demand of the Big Four Brother hoods for the restoration of the peak wages of 1920 The demand of the brotherhoods was made on the ex- piration of old labor contracts on Septem Der 30 last.
 A settlement without an increase in wages was confidently predicted in and 1t was believed the plan of the New York Central would be followed by all the railroads throughout the country. The fact that an increase has been allowed Is expected to cause surprise, and 1t IS certain that several lines will refuse to follow the lead of the New York Central and will proceed to conference determined not to concede an increase.
 The engineers, ehrmen, hostlers and hostlers' helpers, will receive the fol- lowing increases: Passenger service, A cents per 100 miles; freight serv- ice, 3o cents for 100 miles; yard serv- ice, g cents per 100 miles; hostler service, g cents per 100 miles.
 The settlement provides for modi- flying certain rules in the existing schedules, the more important of which permit the discontinuance, when stoker fired locomotives are provided, of the requirement that men in freight service between Albany and Syracuse be relieved at Little Falls and between Syracuse and Buffalo be relieved at Wayneport; the discon- tinuance of the arbitrary mileage all lowanccs on the Pennsylvania divis- ion, and the modification of arbitrary reporting time on the Boston, Albany, Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, and Cleve- land, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railways.

Washington, Jan. a6.-Samuel IGompers, president of the Amer lican Federation of Labor, has been marked for death by Communists. A letter from the state depart. lrnent, disclosing how department l of justice agents frustrated at ltempts by Communists to kill lGompers was read before a meet ling of the Central Labor Union here Tuesday by Edward F.

 McGrady said Russian Commun- lists raised fund of $3oo,ooo for propaganda in Italy, England and
 America. Gompers was to be f'removed" because he opopsed the
 Communists in the United States. Gompers declined to comment

MILAN DEFIES JACKSON AND ALL HIS KIND AND DELIVERS
 RINGING SPEECH FOR BONUS
Connecticut Senator Refuses to Be Coerced By Yelled Threats and Tells the World U. S. Owes
 Soldiers Fair Play and Back Pay.

Defying the orders of John Day Jackson, proprietor-publishe of the New Haven Register, 'anti-bonus and anti-everything else that hits Jackson in the pocketbook, Senator George P. Mclean of Connecticut, took the bull by the horns and stood right up on the boor of the Senate at Washing ton and not only riddled all the anti bonus arguments that Jackson and his crowd have been putting out to prevent the soldiers from getting their just "adjusted compensation, but told the country it had a moral and legal obligation to make such a payment
 Then the senator to show Mr. Jack son just how much he thought about his anti-bonus crusade and the threats made of dire things to hap pen to those senators who voted for 1t, sent the speech on to The Reg ister with request, that was practi- cally dare, to print it. The Regis ter was backed against the wall and had to make public the speech or be accused out and out of blatant un- fairness so the speech was published, but with so little of it displayed that it really reached very few people.
 Senator Mclean didn't mince words he never does when he tackles a proposition and this speech is well worth reading especially by Labor men who in the vast majority believe the soldier should get the bonus due him. It is as follows:
 MT. Mclean. MT. President, I have received a good many communica- tions from my constituents for and against the so-called bonus I now desire in the interest of time and con- venience to put into the Record a very brief statement of my views up- on that question.
 MT. President, if we look for the origin of the idea that we shall com mercialize patriotism if we pay our ex-service men $2 a. day instead of

The executive board met in the Ho- tel Garde, New Haven, on Sunday, last, with the special committee ap- pointed by the convention last June to study the possibilities of instituting a Labor bank. The committee and the Executive Council canvassed the situation thoroughly and 1t was unani- mously agreed that the matter had proceeded far enough and with such bright prospects as to warrant the calling of the special convention nec- essary to formally endorse and start the project.
 Informal inquiry had been made among the several affiliated state branch bodies, the individual unions and individual members and sufficient support was assured to warrant the bank starting off on a solid founda- tion All these details were whipped into shape and will be ready for pres entation to the convention when it meets in March.
 The system of representation will be identically the same as that for regular state Federation conventions so that each and every union will the ground floor in the stock dis tributin according to its membership Just as 1t has proportionate voice in mapping out all policies of the Fed eration. In the case of other labor banks the stock has been over-sub- scribed, so 1t behooves each union i'm terested to see that its delegation is present at the meeting.
 The executive board and special bank committee are enthusiastic over the outlook for the bank. Every member was present except Vice was unable to attend due to an injury sustained while at his work as plumber in Hartford last week
 Aside from the bank matter the ex- ecutive board disposed of the routine affairs for the quarter and will also be able to make a preliminary report to the special convention as to the general situation in Connecticut.

MARK DAILY, ARCH ANTI-LABOR SNOB.
 MEETS WATERLOO
Manufacturers "$17ooo Plus" Agent Makes Fool of Himself
 Before His Bosses.

Albany, Jan. 26.-Confounded not by his enemies but his own employ CTS, Mark A. Daly, arch conspirator against Organized Labor not only in this state but all over the country, came to grief this week when he at tempted to upset the state labor de- partment but got upset himself. If he doesn't lose his job after the flasco, then his employers are more easy than the worker already believes for he summoned 40 of them to Albany to testify and each and every one had to admit he didn't know anything about what Daly was talking of. The result was complete vindication of the Labor Department and call down for Daly by Governor Al. Smith. seslassa'
 Daily made charges III the name oi the Associated Industries of New York, Inc, the most powerful combi- nation of employers in the State, against the State Department of La Dor and the State Insurance Fund.
 Officers and directors of the asso- citation went on the witness stand only to declare they signed a complaint to the governor on the unsupported as sertion of Daly, secretary and legis- lative agent of their organization, and that they knew nothing of the con ditions of which they complained
 Daly, one of the best known lobby ists in Albany, made a poor showiny on the stand. He admitted he had re- ported to his employers the Labor Department was run ineficiently and that it was honeycombed with po1i- tics, but he did not present single fact to substantiate the charge.
 He was i'll at ease under the ques- tions put to him by the governor, and said finally the only facts he had to bear out some of his assertions had been put in his possession by a man whom he refused to name, because to do so would seriously embarrass'" his
