organization and finance and attempt
TO iron out the many factlonal az

in the league.
There is q movement on foot among
some leaguers to prevent the presl-
Dental situation from entering the
convention, because there are leag-
ers who favor either Coolidge, John-

Already as the factions are con-

companys plan were put through. 1 The debate on 1t opened harmoniously
 until Mr. Pickop arose. He lives in the jumping off place of New Haven and
 must therefore patronize the trolleys
 once in awhile when he gets into town for meeting He arose in all his al-
 dermanic dignity and objected to the or
 dinance. He didn't see why the trolley company couldn't cut down its expenses by employing one man instead of two on trolley cars in the center Tn his
 neck of the woods one man is plenty in the year except Ill the summer season when Pickop and others down towards the Lighth o1s want a dozen and car every minute.
 He was going along alright with his opposition until he declared he didn't see the necessity of two men on a car anyhow. Every conductor he had mo- ticed he said was at the back of the car figuring out his reports, waving at the girls and figuring out how he was going to be able to knockdown on the com pany. When the "knock-down" part of his argument spouted out of his nos trils, misses came from all parts of the chamber especially from among his own colleagues. Alderman Michael Brennan jumped to his feet and called the in sulting member to order. President John w. Murphy ruled the point well taken and ordered Mr. Pickop to act and talk like a gentleman or shut up. He shut up and when the ordinance came up for action it was adopted 25 to 5, the four opposing 1t aside from Mr. Pickop doing so because they didn't think 1t would hold
 The trolley company is preparing to contest 1t, even as it did in Hartford The New Haven ordinance is different from the Hartford one however and will make an interesting point i'll deter mining whether city rules 1t streets or does the trolley company.

May Repeal Publicity Features
 of Tax Law

The outcry of the rich against the publicity provisions of the income tax law has resulted in demand for re- peal of the law It will likely be tried in the coming short session of congress, republican leaders promise
 Andrew Mellon, our millionaire sec retary of the treasury and head of the aluminium trust, says that his office has been flooded with letters from angry rnillionaires whose taxes were printed. Of course, Mellon IS against the law.
 He claims that it encourages tax lodging for many persons avoid pub hc1ty by avoiding income tax payment :" This Is strange confession, since it is generally believed that the government would promptly hustle tax-dodger oq to jail
 Men with small incomes of the two and three thousand a year class who have tried to fool Uncle Sam on income tax returns have found that theye were monkeying with buzz-saw. Mr. Mel Ions statement reveals that the drastic provisions for enforcement were not meant for the rich, especially those who invest heavily in c. O. P. administra- tions.

Illinois Unions
 Vote On State
 Federation Heads
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service. Chicago, Dec. 6.-Local unions affili-
 ated with the Illinois State Federation of Labor are taking referendum vote
 on the election of officers of the state | body. Time for voting extends from December l to 31, inclusive. President John H. Walker and iSecre- 1 tary-Treasure Victor A. Olander are
 candidates for reelection withotu oppo- sition. The former, is member of the
 the latter member of the International
 Seamen's Union of America, of which he IS international second vice presi-
 dent. There are seventeen candidates for the nine places on the executive board.
 President Walker and Secretary Treasurer Olander have held their pre-
 sent offices for many years because the
 trade unionists of Illinois have complete confidence in their honesty and integrity
 Both are aggressive leaders of outstand- ing ability and whose only interest is the labor movement Each has had many opportunities for political preferment, but declined with thanks, saying that they are perfectly satisfied to serve trade unionism only.
 Secretary Treasurer Olander is man of marked intellectual capacity and by reason of that fact is held in high esteem and respect by men and women in all walks of life. He is versed in wide range of subjects, is close stu dent of public questions and possessed of fine analytical mind
 Mir. Olander's advice and counsel is constantly sought by trade union off cers in reference to problems affecting their organizations, and it is not un- common for leaders of outside civic or ganizatins and public auth critics to con- suit with Mir. O1ander on subjects which have no direct relation to the la bor movement He holds that 1t is the duty of trade unionists as good citizens to take an active part in the settlement of public questions whenever they can do so without jeopardizing the interests of the labor movement

important matters and therefore Cool idge is out of it. Nevertheless thun- der cloud of senatorial oratory is to de scend on the state to help put Bingham over the whole the democrats have de cided to make 1t local and state issue solely and appeal to the voters on that score.
 There is no need he to counsel Or ganized Labor men what to do They showed during the last election that they knew their own minds and would act accordingly. At any rate December 1o Is likely to go down into Connecticut an nals as one of the most epochal politi cal dates III its history

America Becoming
 a Land of Billion
 Dollar Corporations

America now has IA corporations having assets exceeding billion dol | lars
 Two of them have reached the two billion-d dollar class.
 Five American companies have done as much as billion dollars worth of business in one year.
 No other country can even approach this record. If railway consultations now under consideration be consum- mated, additions will be made to our bi1lion-dollar list of corporations.
 Until the other day we had only one two bi1lion-dollar organization, the United States Steel Corporation. The acquisition of the Fl Paso & South western by the Southern Pacific has put the latter in the -bi1lion-dollar category.
 Our IA 10-fgure enterprises include seven railroads, three insurance com panies, one bank, one telephone com pany, one oil company and one steel company The companies having assets of $1 O0,O00,0O0 or more follow:
 American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R. Baltimore & Ohio R. R.
 Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.

LIFE INSURANCE BY GROUPS (Continued from Page One.)

provide for additional insurance for tht children and wives of members. The union participates in some cases to thu evtent of recovering 50 per cent of any earnings derived by the company. Tex tile workers, automobile builders, lea. fher workers, stove mounters are active. ly intrested in this new feature of group insurance.
 The Brotherhood of Electrical work. CTS, on the other hand, is Blazing new trail in having recently formed its owr Insurance company which is now doing business in competition with old line companies. It is known as the Union Cooperative Life Association. incorpo- rated under the laws of the District of Columbia, with a capital of $1o0,O00 and a surplus of $1000OO It will issue or dinary life policies, twenty-year endow- ment policies and policies on women and children, old-age pensions.
 According to Charles F. Ford, Sec retary of the brotherhood, "this is the first regular life insurance company to be organized by members of labor union. With total of $o0,000, ,00O, ,000 of insurance in force in America on the lives of 40O00Oo0 persons, and the bus niess growing enormously, 1t presents a promising field to organized labor
 For more than forty years unions have been insuring their own members as voluntary organizations, part of the union dues being set aside to provide for death and sick benefits, out of work insurance, replacement of lost or stolen tools. Even travelling benefits have been provided by one union for its members who go far III search of work
 Unions of the American Federation of Labor paid out $2,OOO,O0O, last year in death benefits, about $6OOOO0 in sick benefits alone, so the federation in mak- ing its decision to call a special confer ence to go into the matter of life and group insurance can draw upon the ex- perience of its own organizations and 100000 members
 In any event 1t is another effort of la bor to get control of the vast labor sav- ings invested in insurance companies an gain what advantage can be derived from the investment and control of such funds.

THE PALACE.

Characterized as one of the most ap- pealing and tragic stories ever written for stage and screen use "He Who Gets Slapped" comes to the Palace on Sun day, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The story, in short, is of an obscure scientist, who slaves away for years on his theories, proves them, then, as his life work is stoyen by his patron, and his wife deserts him, becomes circus clown, known only as "He Who Gets Slapped"
 Lon Clancy, whose name takes the atre goers back to such productions and triumphs as "The Miracle Man." The Penalty. and then more recently "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," plays the title role of He"
 One of the classics among vaudeville playlets is "The Cherry Tree" the American act which took London by storm and proved to be the stepping stone into English stardom for Harry Green its principal player
 The balance of the vaudeville section of the bill is one showing wide variety and that balance that goes to make ideal variety diversion.
 One of the most important engage ments in the history of the Palace comes in the personal appearance of Vera Cor don as the principal attraction for Thursday, Friday and Saturday
 
 This steller attraction will be sup ported by other verU classy. vaudeville acts and the interesting screen drama "The Gaiety Gir1' with Mary Philbin in the leading role.
