West Virginia is suffering from one
of her periodic lapses into uneonsti-
tutional government For the past
months, the Bill Of Rights and other
constitutional and legal guarantees
have meant nothing to those employ
ed in West Virginia mines. Freedom
Of assembly and freedom Of speech
were enjoined-that is, declared 'ver-
boten" by the order Of a judge-not
by law. Even peaceful persuasion
was outlawed.
II seems well nigh incredible that
this sore of thing could happen in
America, the land of the free. This
is the procedure. A company en-
broiled in an industrial controversy
with its employees retains legal advis-
ors to put those employees at legal
disadvantage. That lawyer drafts an
Injunction enjoining the employees
from carrying on activity necessary
to establish their industrial conten-
tions and asks court of appropriate
jurisdiction to approve the order in
order to prevent irfeparable damage
to property.
The Judge sigma the order without
time or opportunity 70 investigate.
A hearing is had somstime later. OF
course, the order may Be modified

CLUB WOMEN
HOPE FOR CHILD LABOR
VICTORY NEXT SESSION

CHICAGO, July 9.-Gratifcation
that tAe-Child Labor Amendment was
not turned down by the Illinois Leg
islaturs. recently adjourned, was ex-
pressed at a meeting Of the Joint
canmittee representing 80 Illinois
Wd'nen's organizations.
The pe was expressed that the
aI4 I4endnlent would be ratified at the
|nekt session and the continued sup
pert Of Illinois club women was
81 dyed.
Governor Len Small submitted the
endment to the Legislature several
. sfltAs agO, but i was not reported
out Of committee. This was in COM
pliance with the wishes of representa-
tives of the women's organizations,
who feared to risk a. vote on the
amendment at the 1925 session, par
ticularly after a sufficient number Of
State Legislatures had turned IL down
to make ratification impossible this
year.
The above outcome was forecast by
international Labor News Service
last March, when the exclusive story
was published telling of the action
taken by the wornenPs organizations
in reference to the matter and con-
currence therein by the executive
board of the Illinois State Federation
Of Labor.
It was then decided to mark time"
until 1927, when vigorous fight for
ratification win be made.

Vice President 0iander charges
Howard d. Ebey, district director Of

eusable laxity and neglect Of duty in
their failure TO ascertain whether the
0rientals had . legal right to entry
into the United States.
s. R. Little, Chicago agent Of the
Marine Cooks and Stewards Associa-.
tion q subordinate branch of the In
ternational Seamen's Union, not only
backs up the charge Of Mr.. Olander,
but further says that the owners Of
the South American failed to comply
with the regulation Of the Public
Health Service which requires that
all persons handling food on board a
vessel must. have medical certificates
showing that they are free Of any dis
ease which might unfit them as food
handlers.
The South American is sister ship
of the North American, both of which
are owned by the Chicago, Duluth q

two vessels ply between Chicago and
Buffalo.
Steamer Stops at Canadian Ports
The fact that the South American
makes stops. at Parry Sound and

Mr.. Ebey said that he had ordered

did not deny the charge of the off,
GERS of the Seamen's Union that Mr..
Brekke had failed to find the Orient

Evans Discusses Group Insurance
Various forms Of insurance were
discussed. Edward J. Evans, vice
president Of the International nroth-
erhood Of Electrical Workers, speak
ing on the subject Of 'Laber Union
Insurance saids
aons Of the disturbing features and
developments Of insurance in recent
years has been form Of life inzur-
ance known as . group Insurance
policy This insurance was first de-
veloped in this country by the Eoults
able Life of New York. It provides
for the insurance Of an entire group
Of employees Of any one employer
without medical examination. When
the employe leaves the employ Of this
employer, the insurance AZ written
ceases. The employer frequently con-
tributes part and, in some cases. all
Of the premiums. It has beer rfeed
upon employers as reason for taking
this insurance that It ties : man TO
his employer or his job, that It pre-
vents turnover in labor, and that itl
has q tendency to weaken mans
allegiance to his union.
~Undonbtedly this form Of insur-
anee has done considerable coed, but
on the ether hand 1t is Z question
whether its benefits have exceeded its
disadvantages. Americas democ-
Faey does not take kindly to any form
Of paternaIism. The ideal Of Amef-'
lea Is body Of self-reIiant citizens.
The ideal Of trade unionists is that
they shall be paid a fair wage for
their work. and shall be encouraged
to provide for their own old age or
their own insurance needs.
LuIled Into Security
"The group form of insurance tends
to lull them along during the produe-
tive years Of life, feeling that they
are insured, and, when they have
reached the later years of life and
lost their positions through inability
to keep up with the pace Of modern
industry, or for other reasons, they
awaken to the sad fact that their
group insurance protection has ceas-
ed. In the later years Of life insur-
ance is very expensive, and it is then
that the income Of the worker is re-
duced. The result Of all this is very
unsatisfactory, from a sociological
standpoint, and is a misfortune of the
greatest kind to the individual.
Life insurance has now become, for
the average American, the easiest and
most certain way to provide for his

it looked good and was going

Middle Westerners would outdis

his prophecy was true enough.
