"Where are you going now, my

wife Of him one morning, as she saw
him hopping down the back stoop

noise.

paw over his lips, - don t want

Probably most greatly discussed new books sink into

DISCIPLINE

Discipline is absolutely necessary
to achieve success, both as individuals
and more particularly as it applies to
associated efforts in our unions. To
achieve the height of efficiency the
individual must discipline himself.
There can be no success in the labor
organization unless there is absolute
discipline. On the economic field, in
the mine, mill and workshop, the in
dividuals standing alone are unable
to make any headway in so far as
wages and hours of labor are concern
ed. When the workers join the union
it is for the high purpose of securing
better wages, shorter hours and better
living conditions for all, and if they
work in harmony and are guided by
the rule of common sense, fair deal
ing and discipline they are always
successful No one sacrifices his lib
critics or his rights when he joins the
union. There is no way by which lib
erty, freedom and justice, fair wages
and decent working and living con-
ditions can be obtained except through
the unions. Discipline being necess-
sary to success, it becomes of para

national, and watch carefully over the
welfare of their members in all pos
sible ways, working to get protective
laws passed where needed, and deol-
ing with employers as whole in
stead of singly.
This idea of cooperation therefore,
is no new one for labor, but the CO.
operative feature of legal reserve life
insurance by labor is new way of
applying the same cooperative idea.
We all know what organized labor
is and what cooperation is. But what
is insurance?
Insurance is a provision made by
group of persons, each, singly in
danger Of some loss, the incidence of
which cannot be foreseen, that when
such loss shall occur to any of them
it shall be distributed over the whole
group. It's essential elements are
foresight and cooperation; the for
mer the special distinction of civil
lied man, the latter the means of So
cial progress"
The underlying feature of life in
surance is of course that as each one
must die, all will combine and CO.
operate-by the payment of premiums
during life Of for fixed time-so
that each will have obtained a sum
of money, payable usually at death,
out of the combined savings from
the premiums.
The element of chance is eliminated
because of the laws which have been
made very rigorous, requiring the
! companies to hold for each policy
holder the "legal-reserve" of money
which will result in payment of the
policy at his death or the due date
of the policy The reserves are all
based on tables made up from the
| actual history of many thousand
lives, to find the length of an average
life and the amount of money needed
to pay the insurance.
There is, as we know, no element
of chance in death, although no one
knows the length of life.
As one prospect" said to an in
surance agent who wanted him to
take policy-"You have to die to
beat it, The agent replied, "Well,
you are going to die anyway Why
not beat it,"
This cooperative idea of insurance
has long since been effectively used
by the commercial companies, so that
untold wealth is now controlled by
the insurance business throughout the
world Labor's first step has now
been taken into this field by the Union
Cooperative Insurance Association,
Machinists' building, Washington, d.
c., organized and controlled by a
group of labor, so that now workers
can obtain the standard forms of life
insurance for themselves and their
families, and group life insurance for
their organizations, in a company
based on the same cooperative spirit
os the unions, and always friendly to
organized labor

Dublin estimates that the accidents
decrease the span of life for this
group by one year, and that the high

One of labor's greatest principles
is that of cooperation, and this is
exemplifed in many of it's undertake
ings and enterprises. In fact, CO.
operation may be said to be the fun
damental idea on which organized la
Dor is based. The objects for which
the workers organized have been
varied, higher wages and better work
ing conditions being the most promi-
nent, but the very reason for argan-

a result which could never be accom-

alone.
So successful have the workers
been in carrying out their ideas of
combining or cooperating for the
common good that there is now the
greatest respect felt toward the la

developed so that now, instead of the

FOOT BALL SECRETS
-BY SOL METZGER.-
BY Sol Mctzget
When Carrying the Ball.

When Carrying the ban.
II is necessary that every foot ball
player be able to carry the ball prop
er1y, no matter in which position ne
plays. If any player is not drilled in
this simple stunt he is bound to fun
BILE too frequently when he is thrown.
The right method Is to put the hand
over one point of the ball and then
sock the other point into the socket
of the arm under the shoulder. Then
clamp the arm down over it and hold
on for dear life, no matter what hap
pens. FumhleS are too costly; they
lose too many hard-fought games for
q player to neglect this simple funda-
mental.
Most beginners make the mistake
Of holding the ball enormously. They
put one end in the cup of the hand
and then clamp that arm down on it
SO that the ball is held tightly against
the side with the arm. Unfortunately,
the other point of the ball is exposed.
Once they are tackled the ball will roll
from them If their arm is pulled or if
that elbow strikes the ground or an
opponent pulls the ball.
Remember. there is no rule prevent
ing an opponent from Stealing the
ball" On the contrary, stealing the
ball" is good foot ball. Guard against
1t by practicing the right method of
holding it. Get 30 you can put the ball
