ANNUAL STATEMENT REQUIRED

Every company is required to file
each year with the State Insurance
Department, in each state in which it
has been licensed, sworn statement
Subject to verification by the Insur-
ance Commissioner, showing full par
ticulars of its transactions, both un.
derwriting and investment, for the
year ending December 31st. These
statements are on file with the In
surance Department of each state.
They are models of detail and avail
able for inspection by any interested
citizen.
An analysis of these sworn state.
ments will show the character of ev-
cry stock cOmpany's investments;
even casual review will be illum-
mating to the average person, not
versed in fire insurance matters, who
will at once realize that the securi-
ties owned by the company and being
held for the protection of its policy
holders consist largely of transporta-
ton, public utility, government,
state, county, municipal, school and
highway obligations, making it clear
that every policy-holder of a stock
fire insurance company has an inter-
est in the well-being and orderly
progress of all properties and all
credits pledged to support the bonds
and other securities upon which the
insurance company is largely depend |
ent and which are the basis of its |
promise of protection

recognized by the American Fedora

about every imaginable thing used by
the average family.
Many years ago some intelligent
far-seeing wives of union men con-
ceived the idea of educating the buy
ing public (that is, the wives of work
ing men), to know all about these
labels and what they stood for and
what they looked like. For a while
it looked like these pioneer women
would revolutionize the industrial
world 1t looked as though they hao
found the best organization weapon
that had been proposed in the coun.

thing-they lacked the sincere, ag
gressive cooperation of the men
There is where the mistake was made

courageous and true to an ideal, an

dress delivered recently at the Bal
timore open forum The meeting was
largely attended and the speaker re-
ceived frequent applause as he ex-
posed the open shop and the so-called
american plan" advocated by some
employers associations.
"The open shop about which we
have heard so much since the year
1919, is not new movement" said
Father Ryan. Zone can find in the
printed proceedings of the 1905 meet
ing of the National Economic Asso-
citation upward of seventy-five pages
under the general heading, The Open
Shop VS.. the Union Shop Readers of
these pages will find that most of the
arguments with which he has become
familiar during the last five years
were anticipated by those who par
ticipated at that meeting. For ex-
ample, there was much insistence
upon the 'Americanism' of the 'oper
shop and much talk of the 'constitu
tional right to work
"The open shop as advocated since
L
| First. because it's champions do moi
tell the full truth about it. In theil
printed and spoken descriptions, its
scope and purpose are not frankly sci
forth. It's principal aims and effects
are concealed. Advantage is taken o.
the specious popular appeal which /:
always made by the ideas of freedom
and opportunity.
"In the declaration of principles
adopted by the Employers Associa
ton in Detroit nineteen years ago, W.
find this summary description of th'
open shop rule: No discrimination
shall be made against any man be
cause of his membership in any so
.iety or organization This is sub
stantially the representation of tn
open shop which is made by all it
advocates, and all those concerne
that put it into operation. Sue
phrases and programs are, on thei
face, persuasive and fair-minded.
But they are only half statement
or half truths, and we know that
truth that is only half truth is eve
! the worst of lies"

TRUTH COMING OUT

Says an Ell Paso, Texas, dispatch:
.The truth about the tactics used
to defeat La Toilette is coming out.
Delegates to the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention in this city
report that intimidation by employ
ers cost La Toilette thousands OF
votes. They also report that the pro-
gressive candidate was robbed OF
thousands of votes which were cast
for him but not counted.
ct is plain that the interests fight
ing La Toilette resorted to the dirti-
est and unfairest kind of tactics to
keep down the third party vote. They
stopped to a campaign which for mis-
representation and downright lying
has not been equalled in American
political history,
Methods OF the La FOlleCIe Ioes
show the odds that progress must
surmount when fighting for the right
and demonstrate that strong and eff
cient organization is needed to VIII
political battles. If the La Toilette
forces had been better organized anC
had had twice as much time to wage
their campaign the result on election
day probably would have been far diff
| ferent."

JUSTICE?

On last Monday morning Judge
Clarence Murphy, of the common
pleas court, sentenced a man to serve
six months in the Dayton workhouse
and to pay a fine of 5000 The ac-
cused had been indicted for attempt
to criminally assault an 18-year-old
Hamilton girl-a girl of splendid rep
utation; daughter of highly re-
spectacle parents. During the course
of the trial the defense attorneys
tried to make it appear that the girl
in the case was not all that she ought
of the accused. That is what a poor
girl gets when she goes to law in de-
Tense of her good name The jury
verdict of guilt for assault and bat
terry. The accused seemed well pleas
ed with the verdict and appeared to
feel that he was lucky in getting off
so easy. The sentence imposed by
the court was the maximum allowed
under the law To the credit of
Judge Murphy, be it said, he appeared
to regret that he couldn't hand out
a sitter sentence And so about 95
per cent of the people feel who have
been following up the case
All the Press has to say on the
case is, if real justice was handed out
in this case then the jury before
whom the county commissioners, who
were indicted for soliciting a bribe
would be justified in bringing in 9
quick verdict of acquittal and ordering
that gold medals be hung on the ac-
cused. And this, despite any and al
evidence that might be submitted
The verdict of the jury in the Shuge
case was joke.

There are a lot of people who can
not measure progress without guide
stories They can only measure the
speed of which they are going by
looking back to see what they have
left behind in given time. The ad-
vance of unionized workers in this
country in a half-century has been
so marked that from these or any
other tests wonderful results are
shown
The progress of organized labor is
indeed, an outstanding feature Ct
American industry. 1t has outstrip-
ped the expectations of the most ar
dent advocates of the trade union. In
unifying more than 100000 workers
from all parts of the world it has
accomplished something unknown il
any other land.
Organized labor has educated anc
disciplined this magnificent force il
the face of every power arrayec
against it. 1t operates newspapers
owns capacious buildings constructed
for business and social uses, main
tains labor colleges, banks, insurance
companies, night schools, technica
courses of instruction, homes for agec
and disabled members and benefit sys
tens. Its activity is felt in every
field of social and commercial better
ment.
Organization is the foundation 0.

LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT

LIKE A THIEF In THE NIGHT
Can editorial in the December Amer
lean Federationist.)
The question of whether the rail
road labor board has power to COM
pei the appearance of witnesses is to
be passed upon by the United States
supreme court. Federal Judge James
H. Wilkinson has decided that the
board does have such power and the
supreme court is to hear the easel
upon appeal Certain railroad union
representatives refused to respond to
summons from the board, contend
ing that the board has no compulsory
! powers.
| 1t was to be expected that Judge
Wilkerson would decide as he did. 1t
was to Judge Wilkerson that former
Attorney General Harry M. Daugh
erty hurried when he sought the
blanket injunction against the strik-
ing railroad unions and Wilkerson
promptly gave Daugherty what he
and the railroads wanted. Wilkerson
is onsistent-consistent in his pro-
railroad, -autocracy point of view.
No one who is familiar with the his
tory of the Esch-Cummins act and
with the debates that took place in
4 congress while the bill was pending
can hold with any degree of logic
], that the measure is in any sense COM
pulsory; and yet no one can observe
the history of the railroad labor
board without the understanding that
intended that the board should have
power and that this power should be
steadily increased, except that there
was to be no compulsion in dealing
with the railroads.
The workers are to be coerced, but
the railroads are not to be coerced
/ 1t has been discovered that coercion
does not apply to the railroad. That
is settled issue. If, now, the courts
| are to hold that the wage earners
may be coerced, the railroad labor
: board will be in fair way to become
! the nations most dangerous auto
1 cratic organization. If it may compel
: wage earners to appear as witnesses
7 where is its power of compulsion tc
stop?

Some one, some agency, must reach

hint to get busy, they would do so.

bound train at Rock Springs late
Wednesday night, when she aroused
the ire of a conductor by her failure
to produce her transportation prom
pity.
The young lady was sleeping in the
chair car when the train left Green
River, and when, after being arous-
ed, she was asked for her ticket,
she informed the conductor that 1t
had already been taken up. How
ever, the train crews change at Green
River, and the new conductor had not
been supplied with the transportation
and SO was insistent. The ticket, 1t
developed later. had fallen from the
young lady's coat to the floor, where
it was discovered on the arrival of
the train in Rock Springs.
Special U. P. Officer Bryson was
called to the car and was ordered
by the conductor to eject the young
lady for failure to produce her trans
portation. However, Bryson dis
covered the ticket on the floor and
offered it to the conductor, who re-
fused to accept 1t, and ordered the
